If I'm reading this correctly, “Jadzia” is reportedly an alias for Alexander “Somnilogical/Somni” Leatham.

She's one of the Star Trek characters troons fetishize/skinwalk the hardest, Jadzia Dax. It's extra funny when you know what Leatham looks like.

In 2019 & 2020, I had intended to get myself hired at one of a small set of organizations that I had anticipated were hiding vital information from the public.

This ideology is so toxic that when someone tried to start the anti-rape arm of the AI rape cult, they created the murder arm of the AI rape cult instead

Dr. Emile Torres' twitter linked to a 20+ page report on how EA movement members deceptively attempts to recruit people into donating to MIRI

I know who Torres is, but I don't know what report this is.

I first encountered this reasoning in the form of a solution to Newcomb's Problem, a thought experiment which I will describe a version of here: “Omega, a god-like being who is always right, offers you a choice of one of two boxes. The first contains $1M, and the second contains $1k. Omega will only fill one box—the box it thinks you will pick—and will leave the other one empty. Omega says 99% of humans pick the second box (in some versions, Omega claims you in particular will pick the second box.) Which box do you pick?” (I think in the original the options are pick one or both boxes, & if you pick both, the first will be empty.) A causal decision theorist would pick the second box, but that would create a self-fulfilling prophecy. (And now consider the statement that most torturers make: “anyone breaks in the end.” Consider what they are trying to assert, a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy where if “you” believe “you” will break after hearing that, then “you” have decided to break, because everyone has free will & can decide not to.) So I would, in the matter of Newcomb's Problem, pick the first box, either falsifying the claim that Omega is always right, or forcing Omega to fill the first box. And if Omega's bottom line is that it doesn't want to give out $1M, more than 1% of the time, & doesn't care that you'd never pick box #2, then I don't want to contribute to the illusion that Omega is making accurate predictions by reifying those predictions. Our ability to choose, using our free will, to do the right thing even in the face of terrible disincentives is the proof that people are not mere reinforcement learners, and is the power to change the state of play & rewrite the rules of the game.

I looked this up, and Zajko got it wrong. There's only a paradox if there's a conflict between taking both boxes (one that's clear and has 1000 dollars in it and one that's solid and maybe has 1 million dollars in it) and only taking the 1 million box and leaving the thousand that's always there. Otherwise, if the thousand is only there when the million isn't, even if both boxes are solid, it's a wager and not a paradox, because the paradox is with the "sure thing" of additionally having 1000 dollars, along with what ever was put in the solid box (or nothing)

"Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" has released an episode featuring the Zizians, "The Zizian Cult & Spirit of Mac Dre"

This is dumb, it starts out with a dumb "I talked to a guy who talked to a guy who read Chomsky" leftist pseudo-conspiracy thing. Not much new on Ziz.
The guy interviewed is making a documentary, but it might not be out for years. They reference the January 6th movie "This Place Rules" for how long that kind of thing sometimes takes.

I'd find this entire mentality hilariously bad if the maniacs who believe in it didn’t kill a bunch of innocent people over literally nothing.

None of those people deserved it, and that makes me disgusted.

It’s all fun and games until you start ordering the cult officers to murder old hippies over back rent. Then it started to go down like Jonestown pretty fast.

Is he being held in men's prison? Also I'm hoping the judge tells him to go fuck his vegan diet and we'll see how long it is before he clearly doesn't starve

The court / DOJ is required to accommodate vegan prisoners’ dietary requirements, but it’s just pb&j sammiches and rice and beans forever, worse than the usual prison fare. SBF has gone on the record to complain that the vegan prison food he’s served sucks, too.

YouTube allowing misgendering again is really helping the people who want to make a quick buck regurgitating articles on this case.

Too many to link, but the Red Thread (conspiracy podcast of Theseus) episode spent a good percentage of the time calling the Zizians scary-looking and variously fucking up "preferred pronouns," even if there was no blatant heresy.

This a-log will say: death penalty for Jack LaSota and his minions

A federal grand jury in Maryland has indicted Jack LaSota, the namesake of a cult-like fringe group with ties to the Bay Area, whose adherents have been linked to half a dozen deaths across the country.
The former Vallejo resident was charged Wednesday with one count of possessing firearms and ammunition as a fugitive.

Ziz/Jack Lasota has been indicted. (OpenVallejo/Archive), (VTdigger/Archive)

Look at that list of aliases:


From the VTDigger article, Blank and Zajko are still in custody and awaiting charges:

The federal charge against LaSota stems from his arrest Feb. 16 in Frostburg, Maryland, along with companions Daniel Blank and Michelle Zajko.

All three pleaded not guilty earlier this month to multiple state charges, including trespassing, obstructing arrest and possession of firearms. A Maryland state court ordered them held in custody while those state cases remain pending.

Zajko has also been charged with federal firearms offenses in Vermont. No court appearance has been set in that case.

Federal prosecutors in Vermont alleged that Zajko bought the weapons that were in the possession of Teresa Youngblut and Felix Bauckholt, also known as Ophelia, earlier this year.

Federal authorities bring firearms charge against alleged leader of Zizians (Archive)

Teresa Youngblut has pleaded not guilty to killing a Border Patrol agent. She has also has waived the right to a speedy trial, meaning she's probably going to try the Mercedes Carrera tactic of dragging out your trial years and years to get off with maximum time served.

Lawyer for Teresa Youngblut asks to delay pretrial motions filing deadline in case of slain border agent (Archive)​

BURLINGTON, Vt. —
The lawyer for a woman charged in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent has been granted a request to delay the deadline for filing pretrial motions.

Earlier this year, Teresa Youngblut was charged in connection to the death of David "Chris" Maland, who was shot and killed during an encounter in northern Vermont with Youngblut and her associate, Felix Bauckholt.

Pretrial motions were initially due by May 8. However, Youngblut's attorney requested that the deadline be extended because they need more time to review new evidence, conduct further investigations, and decide whether or not additional motions need to be filed.

Youngblut's lawyer said the extra time is necessary so they can be adequately prepared to defend her.
Youngblut has agreed to waive the time limits set by the Speedy Trial Act for this extension. If approved by the court, the deadline to file pretrial motions will be extended by 90 days.

On Monday afternoon, a federal judge granted the motion, pushing the deadline for pretrial motions to Aug. 7, 2025.

Maximilian Snyder seems to be using a similar tactic:

Prelim date pending for Zizian follower Snyder (Archive)​

With his defense attorney saying she needed more time to gather evidence and information, a Solano County Superior Court judge vacated a planned preliminary setting for a Zizian follower charged with a Jan. 17 killing in Vallejo and rescheduled for the coming months.

Hearing the request for more “discovery” from Vallejo criminal defense lawyer Terry Ray, Judge William Harrison, with Deputy District Attorney Ilana Shapiro agreeing, reset the setting for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 25 in Department 23 in the Justice Building in Vallejo.

Ray’s client, Maximilian Bentley Snyder, 23, who entered the courtroom in a striped jail jumpsuit, his long black hair fluttering in wisps as he walked, showed no outward emotion during the proceeding, which lasted little more than one minute.

Formerly of Kirkland, Washington, Snyder in March pleaded not guilty to the charge that he fatally stabbed Curtis Lind, 82, of Vallejo, and also denied a special allegation of using a deadly weapon and also committing the crime to silence a witness or in retaliation for testimony by someone who witnessed a crime.

Snyder’s Jan. 24 arrest for Lind’s death came as other members of the cult-like Zizians, Suri Dao, 24, and Alexander Jeffrey Leatham, 30, had been arrested and charged for a November 2022 attack on Lind, at the time a Vallejo landlord. Lind was severely wounded but survived that attack, however the incident also resulted in the death of Zizian Emma Borhanian. Dao and Leatham are charged with felony murder for Borhanian’s death.

Leatham and Tessa Berns (Still calling herself Suri Dao) also waived their right to a speedy trial, although Leatham had to scream it like a lunatic and get put in a penalty box like it was a hockey game:

Judge confirms trial date for ‘Zizian cult’ murder case (Archive)​

Defendants Alexander Leatham and Suri Dao belong to a group called the “Zizians,” a loose, cult-like organization of radical vegans and computer savants who see artificial intelligence as a danger to humanity. The group has been linked to six murders across the country.

Their trial is set for October 21, 2025, in Solano County Superior Court.

The solid trial date comes after months of continued hearings and delays in the case, due in part to Leatham’s lack ofcooperation with court proceedings.

During Friday’s hearing, as Leatham was led to the courtroom — as she has many times before, by multiple armed officers from the Solano County Sheriff’s Department — She shouted more than 20 times: “I waive my right to a speedy trial!”

Solano County Judge John B. Ellis addressed the interruption from the bench with a mixture of boredom and indifference that has come to define their in-court interactions.

The judge gave the order to place her in an “isolation room,” a room adjacent to the courtroom with a window where she could watch the proceedings.

“Apparently, she’s fairly insistent on waiving the trial,” Ellis quipped.

Leatham’s outbursts have become a common occurrence at these hearings, though this one was notably more subdued than usual, and Leatham barely struggled with the guards.

The pre-trial proceedings reached a fever pitch when Leatham was brought out to be re-arraigned after the judge approved a motion to consolidate Leatham and Dao's cases.

Leatham began repeating a new statement as soon as the judge brought her back to the courtroom so she could be read her charges.

“Someone, please help me! I am surrounded by trans misogynists! Someone, please help me! They are torturing me for being transgender!” Leatham shouted.


In a herculean display of willpower by both parties, Leatham and Ellis spoke at the same time, uninterrupted, for nearly ten minutes while Ellis read her charges for the record.

“Subject to penal code section C...”

“Someone, please help me!”

“...intentionally causing permanent damage or disfigurement...”

“I am surrounded by trans misogynists!”

“...It’s also alleged aggravating factors under 4.21A1, that…”


The judge entered a plea of not guilty for the defendant, lacking an answer from Leatham during their verbal stand-off.

However, Leatham stopped her repetitive statements with the only words she’s traded with the judge in open court in several months when the judge suggested he would set the trial sooner without her input. Without waiving her rights, the judge would be required to set a trial within 60 days.

“Unless you enter a plea, I’m gonna set it sooner rather than later. Alright, we’ll set the trial with no time waiver,” Ellis said.

“What the hell! I didn’t say that!” Leatham shouted.

“Well then, would you like to waive the time?” the judge asked.

“I said that like 100 times! What the hell!” Leatham said, referring to her earlier repeated statement.
Leatham was then removed from the courtroom by officers.

Berns wanted to have a separate trial, not wanting to be mixed up with Leatham. But she's still tried to escape multiple times, and is still giving false names.

Dao, Leatham’s co-defendant, was much tamer by comparison. They appeared before the court remotely via Zoom, wearing a blue prison shirt. Dao was soft-spoken and cooperative with the proceedings.
The judge also granted a motion to consolidate the defendants’ cases, despite Dao’s opposition that combining the two would “gravely prejudice” their case.
In his decision, the judge referenced past attempts by Dao and Leatham to escape police custody, including attempts before and after they were sent to prison. Ellis said that he doesn’t see Leatham’s escape attempts being used against Dao at trial.
Prosecutors said that Dao gave several false names to police upon their arrest, including “Joshua of Nazareth,” and once pretended to have a seizure so they could try and escape their jail cell. There are also doubts whether “Suri Dao” is the defendant’s real name or merely one they invented on-the-spot after their arrest.

Leatham has been pretty much been the only one keeping the trials entertaining with his multiple chimpouts, like back in April:

‘Zizian’ suspect in attempted murder case claims officers are trying to kill her (Archive)​

FAIRFIELD, Calif. (CN) — Alexander Jeffrey Leatham, a 29-year-old transgender woman charged with the 2022 attempted murder of her Vallejo landlord, had to be forcibly restrained and removed after she disrupted courtroom proceedings on Tuesday, shouting what seemed to be a prepared statement claiming she fears for her life in police custody.

“I am not suicidal. I have never been suicidal. If I am killed in police custody, it was murder!” Leatham shouted.
Leatham — a reported member of the “Zizians,” a loose, cult-like organization of radical vegans and computer savants who claim artificial intelligence is a danger to humanity and are linked to six murders across the country — was led onto the courtroom floor in chains by multiple armed officers from the Solano County Sheriff’s Department.

After she was coaxed out from behind the inch-thick steel doors that separated her from the courtroom, she produced a piece of paper in her hands and began reading a statement laced with conspiracy and paranoia.
She claims that a specific officer has threatened her life and that her jail has been forcibly de-transitioning her with hormones as part of a “quarter century” long initiative, although it’s unclear what she was referring to.

Leatham's statements appeared more prepared than her apparently impromptu outburst at her previous hearing in March. However, she was not able to elaborate on her claims, as she was removed from the courtroom shortly after by officers, though she was able to repeat them at least once.

Judge John B. Ellis appeared used to this kind of spectacle by now and handled it calmly.

“Because Ms. Leatham will not behave herself, we will have to remove her,” the judge said, almost bored, as Leatham was led out of the room and placed in an “isolation room” — an adjacent room connected to the courtroom by a large window where she could watch the proceedings.

Her muffled shouting could be heard in the next room for the rest of the hearing.

 

[DolphinMan]

although Leatham had to scream it like a lunatic and get put in a penalty box like it was a hockey game:

Props to the judge for dealing with that, the determination is almost admirable if it wasn't so misdirected. If this guy's autism had been channeled in a useful direction he might have ended up doing something useful for the world, like making better cars or classifying every type of frog or something. I really hope the tranny fad dies down soon and we can get our autists back to doing productive things instead of losing them to the cult of the spinny skirt ()

"JD also discussed with me why he desired to see Ziz and her allies dead. It wasn't because he ever really feared she was a death cultist or murdered. He lied because he wanted to protect his reputation and stay out of jail, and he was willing to go to extremes to avoid accountability. JD confessed to me that he had sexted an underage teenager named Lex Gendel, who had been known to be friends with Emma and Vassar. "
