Very interested,in all you have to say,BillW...and yes,I agree wholeheartedly,that there is much there,as food for thought...and ought not to be dismissed,out of hand.
This is effectively,what Mae Brussell represented...as one of the few social commentators,that was trying to make sense of it all.The ''all'' being what we now look back at,as the coming of an attempted counter revolution,against ''steamrolling'' tactics,by the right wing,that had seized control of the establishment....and financed,largely,by business empires,such as that,owned by the Hearst dynasty.
Personally,I believe that the Zodiac was ''one man'' who managed to cause much havoc,on account of being an ''overactive'' extortionist,''not'' motivated by money,nor genuine political aims.
Whether the subject matter was Anti-Communism,Civil Rights for Blacks,The ''Jewish Problem'',The Tate La Bianca murders...or even ''D B Cooper'',the Zodiac was ''right in there'',attempting to cause mayhem,and enjoy sitting back and revelling in his deeds of,largely,''pen and ink'' [....to cause a 'stink'...].
And,the very fact that he,the Zodiac,was willing to commit actual murder,himself,gave him greater ''gravitas'' and even more satisfaction.''Schadenfreude'' was his ''thing''.
If the Zodiac can,finally,be exposed,it will also allow us to have a greater understanding,of other ''truly negative'' happenings,at the time.
With California,itself,at the heart of much internal discontent,throughout the USA.
Do please keep your posts coming,BillW.
I will try to add extra information also,when I can.
