When Andy Ngo of the Post Millennial described the pair allegedly engaged in a deadly gunfight with the U.S. Border Patrol in Vermont on Inauguration Day as “leftist trans militants with alleged ties to a trans terror cell,” it sounded like something one might hear in between earnest references to Big Foot and Shadow People sightings. It turns out a federal charging document and San Francisco Chronicle reports validate Ngo’s claims. “You get a lot of complicated cases,” Chronicle reporter Matthias Gafni explains. “This is right up there at the top.” Separating dead name from nom de trans seems the least convoluted aspect of this confusing case. It involves anti-technology vegan transsexuals known as the Zizians. Gafni notes that he encountered this group more than five years ago protesting artificial intelligence while wearing black robes and Guy Fawkes masks. More recently they have allegedly graduated from exercising their rights to denying the rights of others. In November of 2022, three members of this group attacked an 80-year-old man looking to evict them from his property for refusing to pay rent. “He had a samurai sword stuck to his back with about a foot of it sticking out in front, his face cut up all over,” Carl Lind says of his father Curt. Despite the deficit of numbers, the handicap of age, and injuries that ultimately included the loss of an eye, Lind managed to shoot two of his assailants. “After they attacked him he got his gun out and shot two of them, killed one of them,” Carl Lind told Fox 2 KTVU. “The other one had three shots to the chest.” It didn’t end there. Police alleged that Oxford-educated Maximillian Bentley Snyder slit the octogenarian’s throat on Jan. 17, 2025, to prevent him from testifying against the two surviving attackers from the earlier assault. Three days later, Snyder’s fiancé (fiancée?), Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut allegedly murdered the U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in a gunfight in which German national Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt lost his life. It gets stranger. Michelle Jacqueline Zajko, whose gun Youngblut allegedly used to kill Maland, now finds himself (herself?) sought for questioning in the 2023 murder of her (his?) parents in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. “The namesake of the group, Ziz, has been accused of making death threats on forums promoting a radical form of Rationalism, which discusses the ethics of veganism, artificial intelligence destroying humanity and using scientific techniques to enhance human decision-making,” SFGate.com notes. Group members claimed, without proof, that Ziz, and another follower, had died. We know of six killings associated with this group. Apart from the open question of whether a court finds the Zizians responsible for these deaths stand other questions. Where is Ziz? Why does the Bay Area act as a magnet for political crazies? Why do so many cults similarly blend in so easily with the surroundings? After all, we rarely find such peculiar groups and causes in, say, Cleveland. San Francisco overflows with all that. In 2018, I explored such questions in Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco (Regnery publishes a paperback edition this spring). Yes, Peoples Temple found their warmest welcome in San Francisco (so much so that Jim Jones became chairman of the city’s Housing Authority Commission). But the Manson Family started in San Francisco, too. The Symbionese Liberation Army, Zebra Killers, Synanon, New World Liberation Front, and numerous other nutter collectives also found fertile ground in the Bay Area. Atop the many existing Zizian mysteries and bizarreries, one deeply troubling question arises: does the group’s body count extend beyond six? READ MORE from Daniel J.
