Rubislaw 32's Primary Solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,is the proposed substitution solution that Zodiac left for the solver.
Naturally,and has been illustrated,to achieve fluency and meaning,passages have been left in ''transposition'' form,as in effect,anagrams.
When the anagrams are solved,the ''Final Solution'' emerges.The ''Final Solution'' is that which is proposed,that Zodiac had started with,as his composition offering.
If we examine what Zodiac left untouched,we find that it amounts to 147 of the 340 total characters.Approximately 44%.
The following are the complete words or passages,left untouched :
NICEST REST LESSON CASE
PART AUDIO IS CURSE OF OAK ISLAND I
CASE ALL CLUES END TO SECRET TT
ACUSES NFC NEAR CREDIT
AROUND
CASE
OF
A NASTI AFTERLIFE
-----------------
Abbreviations,initials,acronyms ---------------------------------
i] TT Codes - As far as I am able to ascertain,Zodiac was referring to sound wave technology,as a ''surreal twist'' on a fundamentally satirical essay.It seems therefore,that ''TT'' stands for ''TeleType'',with reference to the physical outcome,as was the case with TeleType tape being emitted from a Teleprinter.
ii] ''NFC''- This abbreviation was ''locked'' inside the passage : ACUSES NFC NEAR CREDIT.Therefore,unlikely to stand in any other order or form than,precisely ''NFC'' - Neo Fascist Cops.
iii] ''UCLA'' - University of California,Los Angeles.
iv] ''LA'' Strikes - Los Angeles industrial and public sector Strikes - as was the case,with unofficial ones emerging,at the time of the creation of the ''340'' cipher.

''Exclusive'' anagrams in Rubislaw 32's Primary Solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears that,although Zodiac ''jumbled up'' swathes of solution text.....he did leave some words or passages ''unpolluted'' with alphabetic letters from neighbouring passages.
The following are observed :
AKLT = TALK
STERTEDEESTNNCIN = INSERTED TEN CENTS
DCOTEENAK = CODE TAKEN
ITP = PIT
OEN = ONE
SAREDLEN = DARLENE'S
DUDAOIEE = DEE AUDIO
CRUEL = CRUEL [...but moved...]

In examining Rubislaw 32's ''Final Solution'' to Zodiac's ''340'',there is little doubt,that it is intended as a work of satire. I have already highlighted its context,in relation to historical events,at the time of its construction.Namely,further attempts to uncover treasure at Oak Island,Nova Scotia ; the assassinations of Black Panther leaders,Bunchy Carter and John Huggins,at UCLA ; the emergence of unofficial strikes in Los Angeles. In addition,a reference to SF Chronicle columnist,Herb Caen,in relation to his opinion on the UCLA assassinations,and a sarcastic aside,with regard to investigations into the murder of Darlene Ferrin. What seems apparent is,that Zodiac has laid out the solution composition,as a piece of prose.One might note that Zodiac is also suspected of having written the Desktop Poem.This piece of writing could,arguably,be described more accurately as ''prose'',than poetry [?].''The Desktop Prose'' [!]. I would suggest that the ''340'' solution does come across,as slightly ''stilted'',since Zodiac would have had to ''tailor'' it to become exactly 340 characters,in length. Hence,I present the solution as,in all probability,that Zodiac constructed it and viewed it,in its original form : ------------------------- Nicest rest. lesson case talk,part audio,is ''Curse of Oak Island''.
I inserted ten cents,[in] case all clues end to secret TeleType code taken [money] pit clue.
So,no ''Ten Dollar taps'',folks [!].
Caen acuses ''Neo Fascist Cops'' near credit on one ''Student Race Assist'' at UCLA toilet.
TeleType code [is] a ''Dullard's Suspense''.
Nice freak clue around Darlene's case.
''Dee'' audio of LA Strikes on course set,to neutrelise,spare,or risk a nation's ass.
Cruel TeleType code startles a nasti afterlife.

A ''thank you'' to Ricardo,for arranging ''Zodiac's Bident'',as it appears in Rubislaw 32's final solution to Zodiac's 340 cipher.
What is a bident ? -------------------
A bident is a two-pronged fork or spear,as for example,a pitchfork.
It is well known for being the ''weapon of choice'' used by HADES,the ruler of the Earth,death and underworld,and Greek god of the afterlife.
POSEIDON was the ruler of the sea,and employed a trident [...three-pronged spear...],as his ''weapon of choice''.
ZEUS was the ruler of the sky,and employed a spear,as his ''weapon of choice''.
The inference of ''Zodiac's Bident'',is that Zodiac,in laying out his solution to his 340 cipher,inlaid the depicted bident,in order to tell the story,as he interpreted it,of events that took place,at UCLA University,on January 17th 1969,when Black Panther leaders,Bunchy Carter and John Huggens,were assassinated.

When reading the final solution to Zodiac's 340 cipher,in conventional form,Zodiac alludes to the assassinations thus :
'' CAEN ACUSES NFC NEAR CREDIT ON ONE 'STUDENT RACE ASSIST' AT UCLA TOILET.TT CODE A DULLARDS SUSPENSE ''
And,interpreted thus :
'' Caen [Herb] accuses Neo Fascist Cops near credit on one 'student race assist' at UCLA toilet.Teletype code [is] a dullard's suspense. ''
But,''Zodiac's Bident'',which includes columns of Zodiac's 340 cipher solution,provides the potted history of events,on that fateful day,as Zodiac interpreted them.

What happened at UCLA,in January 17th 1969 ? -----------------------------------------------
On that fateful day,a Black Panther meeting was held at UCLA Campbell Hall,to decide on a leader of African American Studies,at the University.
At a given point in the meeting,a ''presumed'' contrived argument escalated into a major altercation,which then appears to have lead to a shooting incident.
The ''shooting incident''resulted in BPP leaders,Bunchy Carter and John Huggins being killed,with additional injuries sustained by others in the Hall.
No Black Panther members that attended the meeting were carrying firearms.
Accusations later emerged,of a gunman,ex-FBI agent Claude Hubert,entering the Hall and starting to fire off rounds,resulting in the deaths and injuries.
At a later date,George and Larry Stiner,and Donald Hawkins,were arrested and subsequently tried and convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.
But,the presumed gunman,Claude Hubert,was never apprehended and brought to justice.Hubert is believed to have fled to Guyana,where he remains in exile,to this day.

At that time,history records that the CIA was tasked with investigating the ''breeding grounds'' of recruitment for ''perceived'' subversive factions,such as ''Black Power'' units,that the ''establishment'' interpreted as ''anarchistic'',in their intentions.
The ''manifestation'' of this anarchy,was tasked to the FBI.
Los Angeles was seen as the hotbed of its manifestation.Hence,a covert organisation known as COINTELPRO was formed,with forces of the FBI allying themselves to the LAPD,in an effort to undermine the potency of factions,such as the Black Panther Party.
The mastermind of COINTELPRO is presumed to have been J Edgar Hoover,then Director of the FBI.
And clearly,when Zodiac refers to ''NFC'',as ''Neo Fascist Cops'',he is pointing the finger at COINTELPRO.

Specific interpretation of ''Zodiac's Bident'' ------------------------------------------------
The two prongs :
Left hand prong [...reading the column,from bottom up...] :
'' L P S C I S A N ''
'' Los Angeles Police Department - Science Saint ''
The patron saint of Hunters,Mathematicians,Metallurgy and Optics,was Saint Hubert.
Hence :
'' L P S C I S A N '' = '' Los Angeles Police Department - Claude Hubert ''
-------------
Right hand prong [...reading the column,from top down...] :
'' C I D S O N L A ''
'' Cid Son - Los Angeles ''
''Cid'' is ''Master'' in Spanish.
Hence :
'' C I D S O N L A '' = '' Master's servant - Los Angeles '' = '' J Edgar Hoover's servant - Los Angeles ''
------------------
The two-prong's span :
'' S E C R E T T T C O D E T A K E N ''
Hence : The message relayed to Claude Hubert and his co-conspirators,that the assassinations were a ''go''.Zodiac imagines the message to be by Teletype code.
-----------------
The hand guard :
'' N F C N E A R ''
Hence : '' Neo Fascist Cops near ''
In relation to events unfolding,the presumed COINTELPRO's Claude Hubert and his co-conspirators,were near at hand.
-----------------
The Bident's pole :
'' C O O N U U D I D U C L A ''
'' Coon,you - you did UCLA ''
Zodiac's accusation,that Claude Hubert,a black man in the pocket of J Edgar Hoover,committed the brutal atrocity at UCLA.

......Hence,''Zodiac's Bident'' relays his interpretation of events,at UCLA.
Did Zodiac start his composition solution to the 340 cipher,with ''Zodiac's Bident'' ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't believe so.I would suggest that as Zodiac started to compose,that which he desired to express.....including ''Oak Island'',''Darlene Ferrin'' and ''L.A. Strikes''....it dawned on him that the possibility of ''column embroidery'' might give the solution another impressive dimension.
Once Zodiac had hit on the idea,he started to ''constrain'' the proposed grid solution,with this extra dimension.
It appears a shame,therefore,that Zodiac then decided to jumble up the solution,leaving what I have offered as the ''Primary Solution''...the solution required,before solving many anagrams....to arrive at what he originally intended.
I calculate that Zodiac only left 44% of the ''final solution'' in tact.Which just goes to show that Zodiac was unable to judge ''degree of difficulty'',and therefore a beginner at cryptography....albeit ''bright'',and a fast learner.
But,all things considered,Zodiac's 340 solution is a ''tour de force'' in social and political documentation,and observation.
And,adds credulity to his presumed ''Fairfield Letter'',the following month,when Zodiac declares : '' This state is in trouble...''.

With reference to the unconfirmed Fairfield Letter,dated December 16th 1969,I made reference to the cryptogram in that letter,sometimes referred to,as '' Z5 '',on account that it just contained 5 symbols.
And further,that by employing the cipher keys,employed by the Zodiac,as solved by Rubislaw 32,then '' Z5 '' would solve,as '' C A K I K ''.Presumably,interpreted as '' California kick '',as in ''thrill''.
In that 2nd Fairfield Letter,of December 16th,there appeared to be a numerical riddle,for solving.
The Zodiac had written ''You will not catch me...'',and had listed a few local towns,with a number assigned to each town.
Now,if we collate those numbers,and include an arrow amendment indicated,then the following numerical code,is suggested :
'' 3 1 6 8 9 3 8 ''
If employing the simplest of substitution keys,more particularly A=1,B=2,C=3....etc,then,what emerges is :
'' C A F H I C H ''
'' California Highway .....something [?].
'' CHIPS '',the California Highway Patrol,employed motorbikes in particular,to stop vehicles committing traffic violations.
And,bearing in mind that the term ''Chopper'' was often used,in referring to certain motorbikes,then,it appears transparent that Zodiac's intended numerical puzzle,was intended to have the solution :
'' CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY CHOPPERS ''
''You will not catch me'' [?] - California Highway Choppers.

And,has I have referred to,in the Halloween Card thread,the possibility that [ C A F H I C H ],could have solution '' Cafe Hitchhikers '',as well as '' California Highway Choppers ''.
'' You will not catch me '',as written in the Fairfield Letter of December 16th,having reference to Zodiac's means of escalating his victim count,as well as his ''run ins'' with Highway Police.
Zodiac,as ever,always taking the opportunity,of offering more than one solution ''to fit'',whenever he was able.
The ''Duplicitous'' Mr.Zodiac.

''Shitkicker'' - a definition. --------------------------------
As already referred,in this thread,I had alluded to the,albeit unconfirmed,correspondence known as the December 16th 1969 Fairfield Letter.
Of two pages,in content,the second page depicted ''The Bleeding Knife'',which is believed to have referred to Bryan Hartnell's car door,at Lake Berryessa.
The first page included a short cryptogram,sometimes referred to,as '' Z5 '',which sat beside a large ''cross hairs'' emblem,surrounded by 4 small ''cross hairs'' further symbols.
If we accept the large emblem,as ''The sign of Zodiac'',then we are really left,with a '' Z5+4 '' cryptogram,to solve.
In employing the cipher keys,from Rubislaw 32's final solution to '' Z340 '',then '' Z5+4 '' is solved as '' C A K I K A A A A ''.
''CAKIKA AAA'' ?
The above could be interpreted,as '' Shitkicker AAA '',which implies ''Shitkicker American Automobile Association''.
''Shitkicker'' has two common definitions :
1] Dastardly.
2] Of menial service.
Readers might note that,in Rubislaw 32's solution to the 1990 Celebrity Cipher,the presumed ''Zodiac'' refers to staff,at the Vallejo Times Herald,as ''Busboys''.
''Busboys'' is a term,normally used,to refer to restaurant staff,employed to carry out the menial tasks,like clearing tables and dish washing.
So,it could well be,that Zodiac viewed the American Automobile Association [AAA],in the same light [?].A collective organisation,in menial service.
''Shitkicker American Automobile Association''.
