<![CDATA[Why are so many people still playing along with this madness? The news stories about this event read as if a perfectly normal legal proceeding went wrong, instead of speaking honestly about how it was just as spectacularly insane at the beginning as it was at the end. The SFGate started its report Tuesday by saying that “five members of the so-called Zizians cult appeared in courtrooms across the country Tuesday morning, with some facing charges connected to a string of violence across America that has left six dead.” Fox cut to the chase, leading off its report on Saturday with this: “A suspected member of the radical ‘Zizian’ cult was forcibly removed from a California courtroom after claiming an officer said she should be killed for being transgender.”]]>
