🧵 Liberal media has been uninterested in investigating the couple involved in shooting dead a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Coventry, Vermont near the Canadian border on inauguration day. Why? Both in the duo are leftist trans militants. One of the deceased armed militants is a German believed to be in the country on an H-1B visa. The duo is allegedly connected to a trans terror cell.

Federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix "Ophelia" Baukholt and Seattle @UW student Teresa "Milo" Youngblut (xe/xem/xyrs) after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons and protective militia-style equipment.

When the duo was pulled over on Jan. 20, Youngblut allegedly shot dead Officer David Maland in a surprise attack. In the returning fire, Baukholt, who was also armed, was killed. Youngblut was injured and survived.

I spoke with Jessica Taylor @jessi_cata, a Berkeley, Calif. woman who had met Baukholt over the years. She confirmed that Baulkholt is trans.Image

As "Ophelia," Felix Baulkholt's social media and leaked private communications suggest Baulkholt was connected to the violent trans militant cell—or cult—centered around a person who used the alias "Ziz." Members of the trans group have been involved in violence.

Baukholt was a math genius who graduated from @UWaterloo in Canada before getting a job at Tower Research Capital in New York around 2021.

After the shooting, law enforcement found multiple burner mobiles, laptops and weapons in the duo's vehicle.

Surviving trans accomplice Teresa "Milo" Youngblut, who is accused of being the one that fired the shots that killed the veteran/U.S. Border Patrol officer, has been charged over the homicide. Youngblut is a biological female who identifies as trans and uses xe/xem/xyrs pronouns.Image

Trans terrorism? Court filings strongly suggest the armed trans duo involved in the deadly attack on a U.S. Border Patrol agent is indeed connected to a murderous trans militant cell allegedly linked to three homicides across the U.S.

New Ngo Report: thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…
In shocking new details in a court filing today that affirms my earlier reporting, the trans duo allegedly responsible for the deadly attack on the U.S. Border Patrol officer allegedly used a gun purchased by a member of the "Ziz" militant trans cell. That person is linked to murder investigations of three elderly people in Vallejo, Calif. and Delaware County, Penn. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image
Image
Image
Image
Update: Trans murder suspect Teresa C. “Milo” Youngblut has a court date on Jan. 30 to determine if she will be held without bail.

Youngblut is accused of being a danger to the public and a flight risk because of her interstate and international ties, and her close relationship with a “Ziz” trans group member being investigated over three murders.Image

Curtis Lind, 82, of Vallejo, Calif., survived an assassination attempt on his life in 2022 when alleged members of the "Ziz" trans terror group impaled him with a sword and took out his eye as revenge for him seeking to evict them. He managed to shoot one of them dead. Lind was hospitalized for a month and barely survived.

He was set to testify against the members of the group at an attempted murder trial but was brutally assassinated on the street on Jan. 17, 2025. He was stabbed in the neck.

A person of interest in this homicide is close with the Vermont trans duo and allegedly provided them with firearms that they used in their killing of the U.S. Border Patrol @CBP officer, according to court documents. gofundme.com/f/remembering-…Image
Curtis Lind was able to shoot dead one of the trans assailants in Vallejo, Calif. in 2022 who was part of the terror group that impalled him with a sword and stabbed him in the face and body, causing him to lose his eye. Trans person and alleged "Ziz" member Amir D. "Emma" Borhanian was killed by Lind.

Lind barely survived, only to be assassinated on Jan. 17, 2025.

The Texas House LGBTQ Caucus @txlgbtqcaucus honored Borhanian, even though he died in the process of trying to murder an elderly victim. A GoFundMe campaign for Borhanian's family raised tens of thousands of dollars.

The Seattle suspect accused of killing the U.S. Border Patrol officer applied for a marriage license with the suspect (Maximilian Snyder) arrested over the m—rder of Lind. Lind was set to be the key murder and attempted murder trial witness against the alleged members of the "Ziz" trans terror group before he was stabbed in the neck and killed this month. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him"

Supporters or members of the Bay Area-based trans "Ziz" terror group celebrated when 82-year-old Curtis Lind was assassinated successfully in the second attempt on his life on Jan. 17, 2025.

Mr Lind was shortly due to testify in a trial against members of the group who impaled him with a sword and stabbed him repeatedly before he shot in self-defense, killing trans militant Amir "Emma" Borhanian and wounding another. He narrowly survived in the group attack and lost his eye.

Trans activists fraudulently used @gofundme to fundraise tens of thousands for Borhanian's family, saying he was shot and killed without mentioning that it happened in the process of him trying to murder an elderly man as revenge for the group's eviction.

Seattle suspect Maximilian Snyder, who identifies as "all" genders on his social media, was just arrested for the murder of Mr Lind. In November, he and Teresa Youngblut, the trans suspect accused of murdering the Border Patrol officer in Vermont, applied to get married in Washington state. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image

On Jan. 2, 2023, Rita and Richard Zajko were discovered killed at their home in Chester Heights Borough, Delaware County, Penn. For over two years, the killings have been shrouded in mystery, and no one has been charged.

The wealthy elderly couple has a leftist trans child, a biological man, who allegedly had or has links to the "Ziz" trans personality leading the trans terror group. He has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

In the Jan. 27, 2025 court filings by prosecutors to hold Teresa Youngblut without bail (the trans suspect accused of killing a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Vermont on inauguration day), it is revealed that the weapons she and her German accomplice used belonged to a "person of interest" in the double homicide investigations in Pennsylvania and Vallejo, Calif. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image

Trans extremists are threatening those with information about the trans terror group. They do not want this information coming out.
A government photo of murder suspect Maximillian Bentley Snyder, 22, has been released.

Snyder is accused of assassinating 82-year-old Curtis Lind in Vallejo, Calif. on Jan. 17 in order to stop him from testifying in a murder and attempted murder trial against members of the "Ziz" trans terror group.

Snyder is the fiancé of the suspect accused of m—rdering a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Vermont on inauguration day. Both of them are from Seattle and come from wealthy backgrounds. They attended the elite and woke private @LakesideSchool, where Bill Gates graduated.

On his social media, Snyder identified as being of all genders.Image

New: @vtdigger has reported out what I had also seen but was working on verifying. A day after the Jan. 20 killing of the U.S. Border Patrol officer allegedly by the trans duo in Vermont, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (@ATFHQ) sent an alert to firearms dealers.

The message read: “ATF is asking for your assistance in identifying any firearms purchases made by Michelle Jacqueline Zajko, a person of interest in the shooting of a Customs and Border Protection Officer on Jan. 20, 2025.”

Michelle J. Zajko (pictured below) is the trans adult child of the elderly couple killed in the double homicide in Delaware County, Pa. in late 2022 or early 2023 (their bodies were found on Jan. 2, 2023). Without naming Zajko, Vermont prosecutors in a court filing allege the guns used in the border officer killing belonged to "a person of interest in the dual-homicide investigation."

Prosecutors also wrote: "[Felix] Bauckholt flew into the United States in the hours preceding that Pennsylvania homicide." Bauckholt is the German trans person who died in the shootout in Vermont.

Vtdigger reports that Derby town records in Vermont show Zajko bought undeveloped land there in the town next to Coventry, Vt., where the killing of the border officer happened. vtdigger.org/2025/01/28/fed…Image

The San Francisco Chronicle reported out harrowing details of Curtis Lind's assassination on Jan. 17 by a masked person wearing black.

Lind's neighbors saw him being stabbed in the chest and ran up to him but left him on the ground to take cover for themselves. The suspect returned to the scene and slashed Lind's throat, killing him and finishing the assassination.

Lind was set to testify in April against two members of the "Ziz" trans terror cult. The suspect arrested over Lind's killing is Maximilian Snyder, the fiance of the trans suspect accused of killing a border officer in Vermont on inauguration day.

Describing the 2022 assassination attempt by the trans cult, Lind says they launched an ambush on him with bladed weapons after pretending to need help on the property. He was stabbed repeatedly and impaled. He believes they were going to dismember his body and dissolve his body parts. After the attack, Lind and his neighbor found medical equipment and lye in the solar panel-lined box-truck containers the trans cult members were living in.

I can exclusively report that Snyder paid a person on Venmo for a solar panel for "Milo," the trans name for Vermont homicide suspect Teresa Youngblut. Alleged members of the trans cult may have been trying to build a new commune in rural Vermont.Image

A person who leased short-term properties in Chapel Hill, N.C. to the trans duo involved in the deadly shootout in Vermont spoke to the AP. He didn't know what happened until the media covered the killing of the Border Patrol agent.

Just before going to Vermont, Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt stayed at the Chapel Hill properties for extended lengths of time. The German trans person had been in that city since 2023.

Bauckholt paid large amounts of money for the short-term rentals that were booked for extended blocks of time. People in black clothing came and went, and they oddly appeared to always be in a new box truck on the property that was driven there by Teresa "Milo" Youngblut.

The same style of box-truck living was done by other members of the "Ziz" trans terror cult in Vallejo, Calif. A sweep of their property after an attempted assassination revealed they had needles and medical equipment and large amounts of lye.

The property owner said he saw a stretcher inside Youngblut's rental.

Youngblut, the Seattle woman in custody, paid nearly $10k to book out four months at a neighboring property that belonged to the same owner in Chapel Hill. He last saw them earlier this month, before they went on to Vermont and allegedly claimed another victim.

Bauckholt and Youngblut still have open rentals at the units, and their stuff is there. The owner is terrified of retribution given that the Vallejo, Calif. landlord, 82-year-old Curtis Lind, was impaled by squatting members of the cell in 2022 and then killed this month allegedly by Youngblut's fiance.Image
Image
Breaking: Police are on a manhunt for far-left trans terror cell member Michelle Jacqueline Zajko, who is considered armed and dangerous. Zajko, who is trans nonbinary, allegedly provided the guns the trans duo used in the shootout in Vermont that killed the Border Patrol agent.

Zajko is also a person of interest in the early 2023 double homicide of Zajko’s wealthy parents in Pennsylvania. Zajko may be driving a green 2013 Subaru Outback with an expired Vermont plate. Zajko owns rural undeveloped land in Vermont close to the shooting site.Image

NEW NGO report: I investigate the "antifascist" trans terror cell linked to 6 known deaths.

Who is Jack LaSota/Andrea Phelps/"Ziz," its mysterious trans leader? There are armed and dangerous members still at large. A witness against them was just killed. nypost.com/2025/01/30/us-…
You might be wondering why this trans terror cell is called "Ziz" and its members "Zizians."

The cult is based around its alleged leader Jack Amadeus LaSota. LaSota is a man who identifies as a woman and has used the name "Andrea Phelps." To his devotees radicalized by his writings, he is known as "Ziz."

Little is known about "Ziz," but federal prosecutors suggest in their court filings against the Vermont Border Patrol agent murder suspect that he is the lynchpin in multiple homicides across the U.S.

In 2022, "Ziz" faked his own death to try to escape prosecution.

"Ziz" appears to be from Alaska originally, though he has now lived in Vallejo, Calif. on the commune, and in other states. "Ziz" is the son of leftist activist and @uafecampus academic Dan LaSota @DanLaSota.

"Ziz" has written many blog posts rambling about the needed use of violence and radical anarchist tactics ("praxis") to achieve various ends, like fighting "Nazis." His cult's ideology also includes radical veganism and transhumanism, the belief that one can dissociate from one's body and biological reality through technology.

BREAKING: Law enforcement has released the photo of Michelle Jacqueline "Jamie" Zajko, an armed and dangerous member of the trans terror cult linked to multiple killings.

Zajko, who is trans nonbinary, allegedly supplied the weapons to the trans duo who killed the Border Patrol agent on inauguration day. Zajko is also allegedly a person of interest in the double homicide of Zajko's parents in Pennsylvania.

If you see Zajko in the Vermont area or beyond, contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ATF Burlington Office at 802-557-6363.

Zajko was a children's book illustrator at one point and a neurobehavioral researcher at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.Image

Are you confused by who's involved in the "antifascist" trans terror cult linked to multiple brutal homicides? The @nypost published a graphic with my new report showing the key players, including the so-called cult leader, Jack "Andrea" "Ziz" LaSota. Read: nypost.com/2025/01/30/us-…Image
@nypost Exhausted and haggard, but the news must be reported. Video update:
Leftist and Antifa accounts on social media have been expressing support for the "Ziz" trans terror cult linked to multiple homicides. They're hoping that the reporting on the cell will have an effect of radicalizing others into joining. Image
Image
There are other members of the "Ziz" trans terror cult who are at large.

One of the members is "Gwen" Danielson, a 30-year-old biological male. I can exclusively report after investigating that "Gwen" was legally named Jasper R. Danielson, and he came from Spokane, Wash., before moving to the Bay Area and joining the cult.

Danielson has been close with Jack "Ziz" LaSota for years, having been arrested together in 2019, along with Amir "Emma" Borhanian and Alexander "Somni" Leatham, two members who later allegedly tried to assassinate elderly man Curtis Lind with a sword.

In 2022, Danielson likely faked his death to avoid accountability in an ongoing criminal case in Sonoma County, Calif. His then-attorney, Jerold Friedman, told the court he got an email that said there was a rumor Danielson committed "s—icide."

There is a bench warrant for Danielson's arrest, like there is for "Ziz" LaSota, who faked his death that same year.

In October 2022, the Board of Harbor Commissioners in San Mateo County @sanmateoco, Calif. put forth a motion to remove a sinking boat that Danielson and a man named Daniel Powell own, lived at and abandoned there. Powell's social media says he is an air traffic controller for the FAA @FAANews.Image

New images have been released of Teresa "Milo" Youngblut and Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt, the two leftist trans cult members involved in a deadly incident with a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont on Jan. 20.

Bauckholt, a German national on a current visa, died in the shooting, as did the border agent. Youngblut is in custody and has been denied bail.

Both of them come from well-to-do backgrounds, like the other members of the "Ziz" trans cult.Image
Image
I have obtained a photograph from the "Ziz" trans terror cult squat in 2022 when its members lived in Vallejo, Calif. on the lot of an elderly man (Curtis Lind) who they later allegedly tried to assassinate in a sword attack.

At large trans cult leader Jack "Andrea" "Ziz" LaSota lived there, as did Jasper "Gwen" Danielson.

The shirtless person circled in the image is believed to be former Google programmer Amir "Emma" Borhanian, who was shot dead by Lind in the brutal attack, or Suri Dao, another trans person involved in the attack who has been charged with murder and attempted murder.

Neighbors of the squatting commune have told media the members walked around nude and lived in box trucks. After the 2022 assassination attempt, the property owner found medical equipment in the box trucks. He believes they were prepared to cut him up to dispose of his body.

Witness Lind was assassinated in January 2025 by an alleged member of the group from Seattle who is the fiancé of the Vermont border agent killer suspect. He was hacked to death and had his throat slit.Image
Image
Image
Jack "Ziz" LaSota, the leader of the trans terror cell linked to six known deaths, is at large.

I can exclusively report that LaSota was living with Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt in Chapel Hill, N.C. for many months leading up to the now-deceased German male's involvement in the deadly shootout with the border patrol agent in Vermont.

LaSota, who identifies as a woman and has grown breasts or wears prosthetics, faked his death in Solana County, Calif., to skip out on a criminal case in August 2022. Police then saw him in November 2022 at the scene of an attempted assassination on the trans commune in Vajello, Calif., but was not arrested.

In January 2023, LaSota was arrested in Delaware County, Pa., during an investigation into a brutal execution-style double homicide of an elderly couple. A judge granted him bail, initially at $500,000, then lowered it to only $10,000.

LaSota quickly bailed out and disappeared with his comrades. There is a warrant for his arrest in both Pennsylvania and California.Image

Image
The Times Union published the CCTV footage of trans terror cult duo Teresa "Milo" Youngblut and Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt at one of the Vermont motels they stayed at before allegedly launching the deadly attack on the border patrol agent on Jan. 20.

Bauckholt, a German national, had been renting Airbnb units or motels/hotels for years, while Youngblut started sometime in the middle of 2024. Both had access to a lot of cash.
Very little is known about one of the apprehended members of the "Ziz" trans terror cell named Suri Dao. Dao was involved in the 2022 assassination attempt of Curtis Lind and is facing murder and attempted murder charges in Vallejo, Calif. (Lind, the sole witness, was assassinated last month.)

My reporting on this cult has only used accurate pronouns that align with the members' biological sex rather than their preferred identities. But that information is elusive for Dao. When I contacted the Solano County Sheriff's Office to inquire about Dao's sex, I was told that the office providing that information could violate HIPAA.

Dao has tried everything to avoid accountability, including an attempted escape after being arrested. Dao lived with Jack "Ziz" LaSota at the California commune.
On Feb. 5, dozens of FBI and local law enforcement swarmed a quiet neighborhood and nearby forested area in Chatham County, N.C. for a secretive mission.

I can exclusively confirm that the agents were in the Chapel Hill area as part of their belated investigation into the "Ziz" trans terror cell.

As I exclusively reported before, Jack "Ziz" LaSota lived here for many months with the Vermont trans duo Felix "Ophelia" Backholt and Teresa "Milo" Youngblut and others. andy-ngo.com

I have obtained an exclusive image of the Chapel Hill, N.C. area property that the "Ziz" trans terror cult stayed at for many months while they prepared to relocate to rural Vermont to build an autonomous zone commune away from the eyes of law enforcement following several serial killings.

Jack "Ziz" LaSota, leader of the trans murder gang, also lived at this property, I can exclusively report, as did several other members of the group.

The image shows a box truck where members of the cult did secretive actions inside to prepare for living off the grid. The group also lived out of box trucks at their prior autonomous zone commune in Vallejo, Calif., where they carried out brutal and deadly attacks.

This Chatham County, N.C. image, taken last year, also shows the Prius Hatchback that Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt and Teresa Youngblut were later stopped in before killing the U.S. Border Patrol agent on Jan. 20.

On Feb. 5, dozens of FBI agents finally raided the neighborhood and wooded area as part of their belated investigation into the trans cult.Image
Image
“Ziz” trans terror member Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 6 on felony charges of (one) using a deadly weapon and interfering with a federal employee and (two) using a firearm to commit a violent crime.

Youngblut has a court hearing on Feb. 7. Her family from Seattle flew out to Burlington to support her. She comes from a well-to-do background and was educated at Seattle’s elite top private school.Image
Image
Image
Before building a box truck autonomous zone commune in Vallejo, Calif. in 2020, the trans terror cell lived on a boat in and around San Mateo County, Calif.

Trans cult leader Jack "Andrea" "Ziz" LaSota ran the operation with member Jasper "Gwen" Danielson. They recruited trans people to join and had a goal of building multiple autonomous trans communes as part of their leftist anarchist "praxis." I have found previously unseen images of LaSota and Danielson from their time on the boat. The image shows LaSota in the robe outfit that he wore as leader of the cult.

The group abandoned the boat as their membership grew, leaving the public in San Mateo with a bill of nearly $100k to clean the hazardous junk inside and tow the sinking boat. Removing and discarding the boat from the dock will cost about $2m.

Both LaSota and Danielson faked their deaths in the summer of 2022. Police saw them in November 2022 when their comrades attempted to murder their elderly landlord in Vallejo. (He was later assassinated successfully in January 2025.)

The group attempted to start a new autonomous zone in rural Vermont when two of their members allegedly killed a U.S. Border Patrol agent last month. LaSota and Danielson remain at large.Image

Maximilian Bentley "Audere" Snyder, the Oxford University-educated computer scientist accused of being a "Ziz" trans terror member who murdered an 82-year-old witness against the group, released a longe manifesto statement to the San Francisco Chronicle during a phone interview.

In the statement addressed to A.I. researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, Snyder says he will inherit several hundred thousand dollars from a trust fund. He describes animals as his siblings and explains why he is a vegan. (The trans terror group believes in veganism.) He denies being a "friend" of Jack "Ziz" LaSota.

I can report that Snyder comes from a well-to-do family and grew up in the wealthy Houghton neighborhood of Kirkland, Wash., near Seattle. He attended the elite private @lakesideschool, along with his now-wife and fellow "Ziz" trans member Teresa "Milo" Youngblut. Youngblut is in federal custody in Vermont for the shooting death of the Border Patrol agent.Image
Image
Image
A 2022 high school graduation photo of "Ziz" trans terror cult member Teresa "Milo" Consuelo Youngblut ("xe/xem/xyrs") has been found and released. Previously, only one clear photo of her face was seen.

In the days leading up to her deadly encounter with the Border Patrol agent in Vermont, she was always masked.

Youngblut attended the elite and woke @lakesideschool in Seattle, as did her husband and murder suspect, Maximilian B. Snyder.

Youngblut was federally indicted last week over the shooting.Image
Image
When trans terror cult leader Jack "Ziz" LaSota was arrested in Delaware County, Pa. in January 2023 in connection to a still-unsolved double homicide investigation of an elderly couple, he pretended to be dead. The sheriff's office had to hold him up for the mugshot.

Five months earlier, LaSota pretended to have died in a boating accident in California. He skipped out on court in Solano County, Calif. and his friends or family made a fake obituary for him online. His mother told the court her son "died."

A judge in Pennsylvania lowered LaSota's $500,000 bail to just $10,000 after his arrest. He bailed out and then promptly disappeared. Two more people were then killed—allegedly by members of his group. LaSota still remains at large today.Image
Image
Exclusive: I have obtained the first known video revealing the voice of trans terror cult leader Jack Amadeus "Ziz" LaSota.

In 2013, at 22 years old, LaSota interned for NASA, developing space weather visualization software. He had just graduated from the Univesity of Alaska Fairbanks, where he studied computer engineering.

Around 2017, he started gaining members for his trans group and began wearing black robes. He used the name "Andrea Phelps" and identifies as "she/her."

LaSota faked his death in 2022 and is a person of interest in multiple homicides in California and Pennsylvania. He is accused of influencing or directing his trans comrades to kill people. He remains at large after a Delaware County, Pa. judge lowered his $500,000 bail to just $10,000 in 2023.

As I exclusively reported before, LaSota was last seen living with Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt and Teresa "Milo" Youngblut in Chatham County, N.C. last year.
Exclusive: Trans terror cult leader Jack Amadeus "Ziz" LaSota ("she/her") is revealed to have interned for NASA in 2013. He worked on space weather visualization software while there.

LaSota started his radicalization writings as "Ziz" in 2016, and 2017 is the first time he is known to have established a commune (in California). He radicalized and recruited trans members for the next five years, and the first known deadly attack occurred in 2022.

LaSota has several warrants for his arrest and has remained at large since his $500k bail was lowered to $10k in Delaware County, Pa. in 2023. LaSota goes by several aliases, including "Andrea Phelps."

Exclusive: I have found more photos of the elusive Trantifa terror cult leader Jack "Ziz" LaSota.

He was at a leftist protest against Google in November 2018 in Mountain View, Calif. One of the members of his group is ex-Google employee Amir "Emma" Borhanian, who died in the course of carrying out an assassination attempt on an elderly armed man in 2022.

LaSota remains at large. He is wanted in Solano County, Calif. and Delaware County, Pa. He is likely armed and dangerous.Image
Jack LaSota, the at-large leader of the Trantifa terror cult, has worked hard to remove evidence of himself from the internet, particularly from before he began living as "Andrea Phelps" and "Ziz." But I've uncovered many previously hidden photos.

The photo below was taken in August 2016 at UC Berkeley. This was the year LaSota began his writings publicly as "Ziz." The writings radicalized and recruited trans people to his cell.

LaSota remains at large after disappearing from court when he was allowed to bail out in 2023 in Pennsylvania after obstructing a double homicide investigation.

He went on to live with Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt and later, Teresa "Milo" Youngblut, in Chatham County, N.C. Bauckholt and Youngblut then traveled on to Vermont in January 2025, where another member had land, and they were involved in the deadly shootout with the Border Patrol agent. andy-ngo.comImage
Many trans and far-left activists are expressing sympathy or support for the Trantifa "Ziz" terror cult linked to six known homicides and deaths.

Some of them on @bluesky are trying to incite members of the cell to kill @elonmusk and those working on his @DOGE team. Several members of the cell are confirmed to have accounts on Bluesky, where they interfaced with leftist, antifa and trans activist accounts.Image

Little is known about what "Ziz" Trantifa terror cult member Michelle Zajko was doing in Vermont. She is registered to receive mail at a property on Webster Road in Coventry, Vt.

Essex County State’s Attorney Vince Illuzzi told reporter @MattHolderman1 that a person with a sword-type weapon was seen at the property last month. This was before the media or law enforcement widely disseminated Michelle Zajko's name and photo. mychamplainvalley.com/news/local-new…

In 2022, a sword was used by "Ziz" members in Vallejo, Calif. to impale and stab an assassination target. Curtis Lind used a firearm to shoot them in self-defense, killing one and injuring another assailant. The group allegedly sent another member with a blade to assassinate the 82-year-old last month before he could testify at trial.

Zajko, whose parents were shot execution-style in late 2022, is a person of interest for federal and @PAStatePolice authorities. She remains at large. Her firearms were used by the Vermont duo involved in the deadly shooting of the Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border. andy-ngo.comImage

I've obtained the death certificate of the mysterious German "Ziz" Trantifa terror member who died in the shoot-out in Vermont last month that killed a Border Patrol agent.

Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt was cremated on Feb. 3. His German background as a math youth genius is largely shrouded in mystery and the German press has not been interested in reporting on him.

He came from a very wealthy and connected elite background in Freiburg.

I can now report that his parents are famous music composers and music academics. His mother is Carola Bauckholt and his father is Casper Johannes Walter. Carola was a visiting faculty member at Harvard.

Felix worked as a quantitative trader for Tower Research Capital, reportedly earning half a million a year. That money was used to finance his operations with the "Ziz" group when they relocated to Chatham County, N.C. It is believed he purchased most of the group's extensive and expensive equipment as they sought to rebuild a commune in rural Vermont. andy-ngo.comImage
Image
Image
One of the overlooked "Ziz" trans terror members being charged with murder, attempted murder and aggravated mayhem in Solano County, Calif. over a deadly attack in 2022 is "Suri Dao." The press has not reported anything about Dao beyond her charges. The Solano County DA's office, @SolanoSheriff and @VallejoPd have said nothing for years and are not answering my questions.

But maybe the reason Dao has been wholly overlooked is because her identity is not actually "Suri Dao." She's using an alias, fake identity, fake birthday—and prosecutors don't appear to know this.

I pressed her lawyer about Dao's legal name and after several days, he sent me a very carefully worded response: "I have only known my client to be Suri Dao."Image

Image
At-large Trantifa terror cult leader Jack “Andrea” “Ziz” LaSota and his co-member Michelle J. Zajko have finally been arrested.

They were caught in Allegany County, Md. overnight on Feb. 16. Both of them were armed. Image
Image
“Ziz” Trantifa terror member Daniel Arthur Blank was arrested alive and well along with Jack LaSota and Michelle Zajko in a rural Appalachian area of Maryland on Feb. 16.

Blank had been missing from his family since late 2022. There were rumors he had died but this was another lie.Image
Image
Image
Quick video update on the breaking news:
A new Allegany County, Md. booking photo of Trantifa terror member Michelle Zajko has been released after she pretended to be dead in her first photo. (Jack "Ziz" LaSota also pretended to be dead when he was arrested in Pennsylvania in 2023.)

I can exclusively confirm that Zajko recently shaved her head after being seen with longer hair when she was living with the cult in their preparations base in Chatham County, N.C.

Zajko, who is trans nonbinary, comes from a well-to-do family in Delaware County, Pa. In late 2022, her parents were shot execution-style at their home on New Year's Eve. Zajko was the sole inheritor of her parents' assets after her grandmother also died shortly soon after.Image
Image

NEW NGO REPORT: After years on the run, the fugitive leader of the Trantifa terror cell linked to six violent deaths has finally been apprehended. Jack "Ziz" LaSota, Michelle Zajko & Daniel Blank were arrested in a forested area in western rural Maryland. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…
Jack "Ziz" LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank were found in rural Frostburg, Md. after a property owner called police.

They drove two white box trucks and had several firearms. According to a court filing, Zajko had a loaded Sig Sauer pistol on her waistband. A rifle and a second pistol were found in one of the box trucks. 

LaSota and Zajko refused to identify themselves, but the three were identified with internal FBI photos. Members of the group have a history of providing law enforcement and the courts with false identities and having their surrogates tell the courts they died in an effort to get cases closed.

Zajko refused to cooperate in the arrest and had to be taken down to the ground in order to be handcuffed. Read more: thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image
Feb. 18 update: "I shouldn't be here, I haven't done anything wrong," Jack LaSota, the leader of the trans terror group, said at his first court hearing in Allegany County, Md. He appeared remotely, as did his co-defendants.

He has been denied bail, even though currently he is only charged with misdemeanor firearm, obstruction and trespass offenses. The FBI confirmed to me they are working with local authorities on the case.

LaSota has arrest warrants in California and Pennsylvania. He faked his death in 2022.Image

Feb. 18 courtroom update: At her first court hearing, Trantifa terror cult member Michelle J. Zajko said, "I'm not a man, I'm not a man" after she was misgendered by her public defender.

Zajko is a biological female who identifies as trans nonbinary. She recently shaved her head, possibly to evade detection after the ATF released her old photo when the guns used in the Vermont deadly shooting were found to belong to her. andy-ngo.comImage

Live courtroom update: Trans terror cult members Jack "Ziz" LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank were all denied bail at their first hearing in Allegany County, Md. even though they are only currently charged with misdemeanors. They are considered high flight risks given their history. They appeared via remote appearance.

Zajko at one point had an outburst after being misgendered by her public defender. The trio's next court date is scheduled for March 24. Read my updated report: thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…Image
Unlike last month when the FBI slow walked their investigation into the Trantifa terror cult, they moved quickly to Frostburg, Md. and took the box trucks and property used by the group.

Maryland State Police are out on full force around the property to prevent media from trespassing on the private property. I tried calling the property owner but no one answered.

Exclusive photos of the area below. It's not clear from court documents exactly where on the large property the trans terror cell had been camped at.Image
