ANDY NGO to JACK POSOBIEC: Legacy media is a 'radicalizing variable' in creating culture of trans violence

Andy Ngo spoke to Jack Posobiec on Human Events Daily about the trans death cult at the center of his latest book The Zizians: Inside a Trans Death Cult, and how the legacy media is fueling transgender violence.

The book is a deep-dive investigation into the Silicon Valley-based group and how it became a transgender death cult responsible for killings and suicides. “It recruited geniuses, math prodigies, and their youths to join because they believe that they could form this trans vanguard that could, quote unquote, save the world. They were effective altruists, deeply concerned about the existential risks from AI, and we're hearing about that a lot now. However, they were having these type of debates many years ago.”

“As it became more radicalized and more entangled into criminal legal matters, they began living on communes, cutting off contact with people, and performing human experiments. They had hypotheses related to transgenderism, and as they became more radical, they focused more on how they believed that they were victims of an ongoing trans genocide. And my investigation also reviews how this particular group fits into a larger pattern, which we've all been witnessing, and some of us have experienced it closer than others of the rise of trans violence and trans terror.”

Posobiec noted that there were some institutions that were not “quite taking it as seriously as they used to with, say the serial killers of the 1970s and 80s, or other organizations that they’ve gone after in the past. Why do you suppose that is?” He asked.

Ngo said that the government and institutions are “always very slow to catch up to understanding problems until many people have died,” but added that “the current administration has been doing quite a bit of work,” noting the pulling of federal funds from hospitals that provide child sex changes and efforts to research the links between gender dysphoria and violence.

“The Zizians are alleged to have been linked to at least eight known deaths, but they aren't the only ones in this new phenomenon. It's weekly, sometimes every few days, that there is another killing and another killing, and most of this reporting doesn't really make it into the many of the legacy media headlines because they are one of the radicalizing variables in creating this culture where trans people believe that they are being persecuted, that they're going to get genocided, and that they need to stockpile firearms and learn how to kill so-called transphobes,” Ngo added.

Ngo said that the name came from the group’s leader, Jack “Ziz” LaSota. The group’s ideology includes militant veganism, anarchy, and far-left politics, “so there's a lot in common with the ideology of the Zizians as well as Antifa.”

“They called for forming so-called affinity groups, which is forming a cell, and to learn so-called self-defense. But in their ideology, they believed as victims of this trans genocide that if they were to preemptively kill people, that it was merely self-defense, and that belief system we've seen over and over on the violent radical left.”

Members of the group who have been involved in criminal proceedings have been able to draw out that process through the use of “frivolous motions of transphobia against judges, against sheriff's deputies, and against law enforcement. And in liberal California, where they had their origins, those lies were entertained, buying them time to fake their deaths, to go into hiding, and move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, leaving behind a trail of bodies in the end.”

Posobiec asked, “Why do you suppose that there is so much violence associated with this ideology?”

Ngo said his book attempts to answer that question. “So I examine all of the academic literature that potentially can provide us with some clues. It's important to state that not all or most trans people are violent or dangerous. However, I believe that within the small population, there is a clustering effect at the very tail end, where these individuals are carrying out atrocities and killings and suicides.”

He said that variables in this portion of the demographic include a high rate of mental health comorbidities such as “personality disorders, mood disorders, higher autism spectrum disorder diagnoses.”

“And then you're introducing in cross-sex hormones and drugs, which have a documented — are known to affect mood and personality in individuals who go on these treatments, and then you introduce easy access to firearms, which many of them exploit, and then finally the radicalizing variable, which is the ideology and the narrative that there are transphobes everywhere, that there are transphobic fascists in the federal government seeking to eradicate and kill them.”

“And so all over the United States, there have been these trans militant cells that have formed closely allied with socialist politics, whether stockpiling firearms or printing out 3d printed firearms at home, and using them to plan violence or carry out violence. I mean, some of the victims of trans violence have been the most vulnerable, that being children. And in the manifestos that have been left behind by some of those killers, their gender ideology and gender beliefs about themselves were at the forefront of their beliefs.”

Posobiec chimed in, “And so, because it's it's it's almost like a paranoia, then, isn't it? It's almost like a paranoia that's fed into by these hormones that they're taking.”

“Well, they're encouraged to be paranoid,” Ngo said. “I mean, do you see any media pushback against lies about transgender? Like, no. In fact, mainstream media, we interview the activists and politicians who repeat these type of lies. Oftentimes, what we see is that the trans perpetrators and killers get spun around as victims of violence somehow. One of the Zizians who attempted to kill his landlord but died in the process was shot dead after slashing him with knives, this person was honored by U.S. Senate Democrats a few years ago in a resolution as the so-called victim of the ongoing epidemic of trans murders.”
