The alleged leader of a “Roko’s Basilisk” cult, Jack “Ziz” LaSota, made headlines after being arrested in connection with a series of murders across the country. Despite the serious charges against her, LaSota insisted during her bail hearing in Maryland that she was innocent and demanded access to a vegan diet.
During the hearing, LaSota, a militant vegan known for her animal rights activism, claimed that she was being unfairly denied a vegan diet in jail. She argued that her beliefs were central to her identity and that it was crucial for her well-being. Despite the judge’s initial hesitation, LaSota’s mother managed to arrange for her to receive vegan food while awaiting trial.
In addition to her dietary demands, LaSota is also known for promoting a dangerous practice called “unihemispheric sleep” on her blog. This practice involves trying to sleep with only one half of the brain, leaving the other half awake and alert. Some insiders claim that she uses this method to manipulate people and create a vulnerable psychological state, a tactic commonly used by cult leaders.
Ultimately, LaSota’s bail request was denied due to the unusual circumstances surrounding her case. The judge expressed concern over the nature of the allegations against her and the potential risks posed by her continued involvement in the cult. Despite her pleas for leniency, it seems that LaSota will have to face the consequences of her actions as the legal process unfolds.
