She formed a fringe internet movement that sought to prevent an AI-driven apocalypse—but her utopian vision turned into a cult-like crusade of extremism and violence. The Zizians, named after LaSota’s online alias, started as an online intellectual movement but quickly transformed into a closed, radicalized community. Fueled by apocalyptic AI conspiracies, anarchist ideals, and extreme vegan morality, Ziz and her followers retreated from mainstream society and adopted an "ends justify the means" philosophy—a shift that would soon turn deadly. A Cult Fueled by AI Panic, Vegan Extremism, and Paranoia What began as forum debates and encrypted manifestos soon led to real-world crimes. Authorities believe the Zizians are responsible for six violent deaths across three states, including: 🔺 Richard & Rita Zajko, attacked in their Pennsylvania home 🔺 Curtis Lind, attacked in a Vallejo, CA 🔺 Agent David Maland, attacked at the US-Canadian border 🔺 Multiple Zizian followers, victims of the group’s extreme ideology Using mind-control tactics that mirror the BITE model of cult manipulation, Ziz transformed online followers into real-world extremists, orchestrating crimes that baffled law enforcement.
