The Zodiac speaks again !
And this time,his theme is TT codes.
In layman's language,TT codes are ''enabling'' codes,designed to flush out trouble and the truth.
Here is Rubislaw 32's final solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,which was mailed to The San Francisco Chronicle,on November 8th 1969.
It is faithfully displayed,with syntactic additions,only.
--------------------
NICEST REST LESSON - CASE TALK,PART AUDIO IS ''CURSE OF OAK ISLAND''.
I INSERTED TEN CENTS - CASE ALL CLUES END TO SECRET TT CODE TAKEN PIT CLUE.
SO,NO ''TEN DOLLAR TAPS'',FOLKS.
CAEN ACUSES ''NFC'' NEAR CREDIT ON ONE ''STUDENT RACE ASSIST'' AT UCLA TOILET.
TT CODE - 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 TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE.
---------------------
All 340 character solutions are accounted for.
Explanations to follow....right now,I am shaking like a leaf.
Thank you.

Rubislaw 32's solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,constitutes a message,only comprehensible,once a ''primary'' solution has been achieved.
The primary solution employs just 15 of the 26 letters of the alphabet.These are : A,C,D,E,F,I,K,L,N,O,P,R,S,T,U.
There is homophonic substitution in play - but,and in addition,Zodiac has allocated 6 symbols to have ''heterophonic''properties.i.e. two solutions,at Zodiac's behest,according to Zodiac's convenience or requirement.
The 6 symbols are :
''9'' symbol - equating to ''S'' or ''T''.
''B'' symbol - equating to ''A'' or ''S''.
''Dot'' symbol - equating to ''A'' or ''P''.
''+'' symbol - equating to ''E'' or ''N''.
''W'' symbol - equating to ''A'' or ''R''.
''Saturn'' symbol - equating to ''I'' or ''S''.

Note that The Primary solution is a combination of ordered passages of words,and ''transposition'' or mixed order ones.
Hence,the final stage requires disentanglement of anagrams,set by Zodiac.Zodiac has,at least,positioned the anagrams between ordered passages,to give the solver clues,in the form of meaningful points of reference.But he has also left some ''red herring'' words,like ''POST'' and ''TEEN'',to possibly trip up the solver [!].
But,it can be observed that the 1st,3rd,5th,9th and 20th lines,are already the ''finished article''.In addition,the 2nd and 19th lines are also complete,albeit in anagram form.

As referred,the theme of Zodiac's ''satirical'' piece is TT codes.
But,what exactly,did Zodiac apply his acerbic wit to ?
Let us look at Zodiac's message,again :
NICEST REST LESSON - CASE TALK,PART AUDIO,IS ''CURSE OF OAK ISLAND''.
I INSERTED TEN CENTS - CASE ALL CLUES END TO SECRET TT CODE TAKEN PIT CLUE.
SO,NO ''TEN DOLLAR TAPS'',FOLKS.
CAEN ACUSES ''NFC'' NEAR CREDIT ON ONE ''STUDENT RACE ASSIST'' AT UCLA TOILET.

CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE.
--------------------
Notes :
i] Zodiac's allusion to ''Oak Island'' refers to attempts made,off the Canadian coast,to drill for purported bounty,in a ''Money Pit'' - that is rumored to hold such riches,as Captain Kydd's treasure and Marie Antoinette's jewels.Also,£2 million sterling,as indicated by a cipher stone,placed nearby.
At that time [1969],the problematical attempts to find treasure,had captured the public's attention.
ii] Zodiac's reference to Herb Caen's accusation,was wrapped up in the meeting of student ''Black Nationalists'',at UCLA on January 17th 1969.An altercation,resulted in student leaders,Bunchy Carter and John Huggins,being shot dead.Arguments often happened at these meetings - but it was the first time that guns had been in evidence.
There were inferences made that the FBI had plotted deliberate disruption,in order to undermine African American movements,seen as anarchistic,by the ''Establishment''.Hence,there is little doubt that the ''NFC'' that Zodiac refers to,stands for ''Neo Fascist Cops''.And not ''National Football Conference'',which wasn't formed,until the following year.
iv] ''LA Strikes'',as referred to by Zodiac,were unofficial industrial ones,bubbling up at that time.There was concern of them becoming widespread,which indeed,did happen in March of 1970,giving President Richard Nixon a figurative headache.
Zodiac's message does tend to show that he took a keen interest in ''Current Affairs'',and displayed not inconsiderable foresight [?].
v] Naturally,with both the names ''Dee'' and ''Darlene'' mentioned,in the ''Final Solution'' message,the question of Zodiac's relationship with Darlene Ferrin,surfaces again [?].If having personal knowledge of each other,then,in theory,the case of The Zodiac Killer,should be easier to solve.

Accompanying Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,sent to the SF Chronicle,November 8th 1969,was a card,now referred to as ''The Dripping Pen Card''.
Manufactured by a card company called ''Jesters'',it showed a court jester on the back.Zodiac appears to have altered the word ''Jesters'' to ''Jeers''.
More pertinent,perhaps,was what was contained,inside the card.
Zodiac had written the following :
''This is the Zodiac speaking I though [sic] you would nead [sic] a good laugh before you hear the bad news you won't get the news for a while yet PS could you print this new cipher on your frunt [sic] page ? I get awfully lonely when I am ignored,so lonely I could do my Thing !!!!!! ''.
----------------
In light of Rubislaw 32's solution to the cipher [''340''] referred to,by Zodiac,it tends to start putting the contents of Zodiac's accompanying card into understandable focus.
Particularly,with reference to ''bad news''.
There was nothing found,in the ''Money Pit'',at Oak Island.Zodiac wasn't convinced that there would be,anyway.
There was a general agreement,among cynics,at that time,of ''orchestrations''at play,in incidences,such as the tragedy at UCLA.''Disruptive Forces'' from within,were a portent to a greater fear,than what African American activists were trying to achieve.So,that which Caen expressed was hardly ''news'' to anyone with their ''ear to the ground''.
''LA Strikes'' were a real concern,with worker's Unions taking ''a nation'' to the brink of a National Strike.The notion of a ''Dee Audio'' was surreal,of course,to Zodiac.Nevertheless,a ''vehicle'',by which he could express an opinion.
So,perhaps Zodiac was intimating the general contents of the cipher solution,when writing in the Dripping Pen card [?].
And,further to this,the reason why the card's reader wouldn't receive the ''bad news'' for a while,was that Zodiac had made extra efforts on the ''340'',to ensure that it would not be solved quickly.
Unlike the ''408'' [!],which was solved almost immediately.

At this early juncture,rather than delve too much into the cryptanalysis side of Rubislaw 32's solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,it is worth looking at that which ''underpins'' and hold's the solution's communicative composition,together.
TT CODES.
TT Codes,and similar named ones,are forms of digital communication,developed by electrical and mechanical engineers,primarily in the industries of mineral mining,and Oil and Gas exploration.
Hardware can involve such items as linear time-variant transformers and radio wave encoders and decoders.Software includes mathematical concepts,such as linear algebra and Fourier analysis.
This ''brave new world'' technology was fully established,by 1963,with various scientific and industrial ''papers'' published.And by the late sixties,its uses were moving on to other requirements,such as motorcar transmission systems.
So it seems,that Zodiac was enthused by the requirement for TT codes,with the drilling that was taking place at Oak Island.The ''Curse'' often associated,with the project to unearth treasure,had more to do with regular flooding,taking place in the ''Money Pit'',underground.Hence,the requirement for digital communication ''investigations''.
Zodiac then ''employed'' this real technology as ''analogies'' applied to ''Revolution in the air'',with ''Black Nationalism'' and Industrial and Public Sector unrest.
But,focusing back on Oak Island,perhaps a real clue emerges,about Zodiac,himself [?].
Was his interest in the drilling,more ''work related'' ?
Since Zodiac ''plucked'' a technological observation,then used it as a theme for his ''satirical piece'' [ Z340 solution],perhaps Zodiac was,himself,involved in the electrical/mechanical side of ''mining''.
Further to this,that if Zodiac's work residence was Northern California,that his work description might be related to the industry of ''Oil and Gas'' [?].

Staying on the subject of Rubislaw 32's final solution of Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,as a composition of communication,it appears to be also of value,to look at the UCLA tragedy,which unfolded on January 17th 1969.
Zodiac keeps his opinions ''succinct'',in suggesting that,if waiting for the truth of what actually took place,then we might be in denial of ''the predictable'' - i.e. A DULLARD'S SUSPENSE.
Two prominent parties of the movement,known as ''Black Nationalism'' were Organization US,lead by Ron Kerenga,and the Black Panther Party,whose Southern Californian chapter,was lead by Bunchy Carter.
At that time,the Director of the FBI,J.Edgar Hoover,had referred to the whole movement as ''...the greatest threat to the internal security of this country..''.And it was known,on balance understandably,that both the LAPD and FBI were monitoring political developments,in Southern California.
The altercation at UCLA seems to have arisen,following an argument between representatives of Organization US,and those representing the Black Panther Party,with regard to which candidate should be put forward as the new leader of the African American Studies center,at the University.
Following the shooting,which left Carter and John Huggens dead,with others injured,George and Larry Steiner and Donald Hawkins were arrested,and subsequently charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit murder,and second degree homicide.
However,the man believed to have been the assassin,Claude Hubert,fled the US to Guyana,where he has remained in self imposed exile,ever since.
--------------------
Interestingly,Zodiac may well have had more to say on the UCLA tragedy,than first meets the eye [?].
If one examines the grid layout of the final solution,down the central column [ 9th of 17 columns ],it appears that Zodiac has ''formed'' the vertical line :
''COON U - U DID UCLA''
Perhaps a reference to Claude Hubert ? A ''Coon'',as in disparaging term for a person of sub-Saharian race,who plays out a servile role,in keeping with the stereotypical expectation of their ''European masters'' [?].
But...also...
If we examine the outside columns of the first six lines,and reading ''clockwise'',we have : SCI,SAN,CID,SON.
SCI : SCIENCE
SAN : SAINT [in Spanish]
CID : MASTER [in Spanish]
SON : MASTER'S SERVANT [?]
So, SCI SAN CID SON ,could be construed as Science Saint,Master's Servant [?].
The Patron Saint of Sciences is Saint Hubert.
Hence : Claude Hubert,J.Edgar Hoover's servant [?].
As interpreted by Zodiac,of course [!].

For all the referencing of civil unrest,and allusion to ''LA Strikes'',criminologists,I would suggest,must surely prick their ears and raise their eyebrows,at Zodiac's mention of ''Dee'' - victim,Darlene Ferrin's pet name.
Was Zodiac ''toying'' with us,in a deliberate ploy to indicate his intimate knowledge of Ms.Ferrin ?
As referred previously,the back of Zodiac's Halloween Card,sent one year later,again begs the question,with ''By D By'',as a possible farewell note to Darlene.
Hopefully,LE will take note.It is they who hold the presumed second address book,belonging to Darlene.Indeed,it is they who hold the entirety of evidence garnered.
------------------
Rubislaw 32's final solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,opens up a portal into the past,when America's post WWII honeymoon was coming to an end.
Does the ''340's'' final solution constitute that which Zodiac desired to convey,beyond confidence in his abilities,at a lucid time,and when in an upbeat mood ?
Zodiac's ''1969'',though,seems tainted with people's fear,and an uncertain future.
Zodiac's cipher,in handwritten form,has become an iconic image from the 20th Century.As perceived,the workings of a madman,tauntingly tempting the observer to wonder what on earth was behind it.
''Alice's Looking Glass'',for its time [?].
Now,48 years on,can the ''final solution'' lead to the final unmasking of The Zodiac Killer ?

A cursory examination of the ''final solution'' to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NICEST REST LESSON - CASE TALK,PART AUDIO,IS ''CURSE OF OAK ISLAND''. I INSERTED TEN CENTS - CASE ALL CLUES END TO SECRET TT CODE TAKEN PIT CLUE. SO,NO ''TEN DOLLAR TAPS'',FOLKS. CAEN ACUSES ''NFC'' NEAR CREDIT ON ONE ''STUDENT RACE ASSIST'' AT UCLA TOILET. TT CODE - 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 TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE. --------------------- Zodiac would have started his ''project'',that became the ''340'' cipher with a message similar to the one,above....but more than certainly,would have had to make adjustments,in order to ''fit'' the message,as a final 340 symbol piece of work. I would suggest that,close to completion of the ''final message'',he would have probably been faced with decisions on precis,and the need to remove prepositions,in particular....which would not necessarily,have changed the intended meaning conveyed. The ''close to'' final message,may well have come down to,something like the following : [THE] NICEST REST LESSON - CASE TALK,PART AUDIO [IS] ''CURSE OF OAK ISLAND''.
I INSERTED TEN CENTS - [IN] CASE ALL CLUES END TO SECRET TT CODE TAKEN PIT CLUE.
SO,NO ''TEN DOLLAR TAPS'',FOLKS.

TT CODE [IS] A DULLARD'S SUSPENSE.
NICE FREAK CLUE AROUND DARLENE'S CASE.
DEE AUDIO OF LA STRIKES [IS] ON COURSE SET,TO NEUTRELISE,SPARE,OR RISK A NATION'S ASS.
[THIS] CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE.
--------------------
Did Zodiac make,and leave behind,any unforced errors,in his construction of the ''340'' cipher ?
My experience in uncovering the solution to the cipher,tells me that he,arguably,''may'' have made a couple of ''tiny'' ones.''Allowing'' for his spelling errors,which may have been deliberate,it can be difficult to tell.In addition,the amount of transposition in the ''primary solution'',lets him get away with it [!].
I suspect that Zodiac spelled ''ACUSES'' correctly,with two ''C's''...at the expense of the previous ''CLUE'',being spelled ''LUE''.In addition,I believe that Zodiac may have meant to write ''TOKEN'',instead of ''TAKEN''.
----------------------
As I have alluded to,in a previous post,I believe that Zodiac did ''further mess'' with areas of transposition,in order to trip up the ''solver''.''TEENAKLUE'' is quite convincing as,suggesting ''TEENAGE CLUE'' [?].And,''A RED LEN'' is,perhaps,a deliberate example of ''self-amused'' humour,from Zodiac,in his naming of ''DARLENE'' [?].
The real ''pig'',though,was the 19th line of the primary solution,which read : ''LET CRUEL ACT TSDTOR''......and ended up,in the final solution as :
''CRUEL TT CODE STARTL''
Certainly ''cruel'' from Zodiac.....it fooled me,until right to the end of my uncovering.
-----------------------
On a point of the word ''AUDIO'',which occurs twice,in the final solution.Given that ''historical context'' was part of my preparation,in tackling the ''340'',I would suggest that,Zodiac used ''AUDIO'',to clever effect.
TT CODES became Zodiac's theme for the ''340'' solution....and,as I was to find out,the ''key'' to solving the cipher.
As it transpires,as the use of ''Digital communication'' became adapted,for development in the motorcar industry,and transmission systems,in particular,it was the German manufacturers,''AUDI'',that lead the way.
As a keen ''car buff'',I am confident that Zodiac was aware that ''AUDI'' were the pioneers,and employed this ''coincidence'',as a ''secondary trap'' for anyone attempting to solve his ''beast'' of a cryptogram.
Zodiac's ''340'' cipher.

The 340 'Final Solution' is, I do hope, nothing like the one that evil dictator ordered be put into swing. You know, whats-his-face, that Author of the literary work 'I'm Camp' by Had-Holf Hit-Lur.
Na but in all seriousness, the 340 has been 'Solved' by many people many times and this cipher and it's claimed decodings is rather like the case and it's suspects: There are many, everyone knows 'Theirs' is the correct one and it's a shame that other people can't see it as easily.
All I know is, all attempted or claimed decoding's of the 340 cannot be correct, the same way that not all twenty-five hundred suspects can be Zodiac lest we have a monumental conspiracy on our hands that makes JFK and the Grassy Knoll look like a conspiracy of insignificance compared to The two thousand - five hundred Zodiac killers!"

Nice to hear from you,again,WelshChappie.....and your's are certainly valid points from a ''past assessment'',point of view.
Indeed,you will have to forgive the ''perverse poetry'' about the term ''Final solution''.
But,when are we far away from ''Gallows humour'',in our references to ''The Cipher Slayer'' [?].
The problem with past solutions is that they all,bar none,start off ''briskly''....but soon descend into monotonous and robotic sounding gibberish.
''You cum to Lsd soak my give tosky goode...''......and the rest.
First and foremost,the ''340'' was Zodiac's ''gig'',and I am sure that either he would have had something valid to say [...after his humiliation,at the hands of the Hardens...] - Or,that he would have had something valid to say,that never materialised,because he messed up in the ''340's'' execution.
As my ''one third solution'' lay lying around,like a bad penny,for a couple of years,I suspected that there was no ''retrievable'' solution,on account of him messing up.
But,the solution's content and composition,finally gave way,when I found that he had a theme....TT Codes.
Though it appears that he had taken at least ''three bashes'' at his message,with a proverbial sledgehammer,there appeared to be a way of putting the pieces,back together again.
That's my ''story'',anyway [!].
Didn't Mr.Hitler's ''little book'' translate as ''My Struggle'' ?
Me and ''Dolph'' then,also.
The phone hasn't stopped ringing since....just someone doing some heavy breathing exercises,on the other end.
''He's'' rattled.

The phone hasn't stopped ringing since....just someone doing some heavy breathing exercises,on the other end. ''He's'' rattled. Hey R32, Good to be back. I wish I could comment on the validity of Decoding Ciphers like the 340 but I do believe it involves mathematics, a language I freely admit I understand not, nor speak very well at all. The problem with this case, and it's only really this case I see it with, is that so many people have bombarded Law Enforcement with 'Their' evidence, code decryptions, suspects etc that The Official Law Agencies just roll their eye when another tip, piece of claimed evidence, code breaking effort etc comes to them with a tut and 'Another Zodiac tip?' then roll their eyes. It really is a shame because one legit person with legitimate evidence or decryption of the 340 could get overlooked and lost among the 'Kook's' Agencies like the SFPD are used to hearing from up to and including recent and modern times. John Milenka's Documentary showed a glimpse of this when current SFPD Homicide Inspector stated that even today, not a week will go by without several tips coming in via email & phone by someone saying they either know who Zodiac is, or where He lives, what His pet rabbit is called etc and then the Inspector playing a recent phone tip from a woman in which She stated: "I am calling to tell You I know who the Zodiac Killer was, but He's real smart and I don't think you'll be able to pin it on Him. . . . The Zodiac Killer was Ted Bundy's Father." The Homicide Insp. was holding back laughing as the tape played and said these types of 'Out there' people with their non credible tip seem attracted to this case like a Moth to A flame. Then You Have other's like Deb Perez: "The Zodiac Killer was My Father! Call a press conference and let the World know this!" Must clarify Mrs Perez refers to Her step-father being the elusive bay area Killer, not Her biological father. No, that was JFK according to the claim she Made before this one. What an unfortunate Lady, first you are the unwanted and illegitimate offspring of The 35th President of the United States who abandoned Her into the Adoption system and then, well then she get's adopted and brought up by Her new family with A Step Father called 'Daddy Zodiac!' Good Lord, what a bad hand life has dealt her! (Raised Eyebrow!)

Zodiac's ''340'' cipher connection to ''The Fairfield Letters'' [?].
-------------------------------------------------------------------
One month,following Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,sent to the San Francisco Chronicle,two letters were mailed,from Fairfield,CA,to the same Newspaper.
The first letter,postmarked December 7th,1969,saw a ''claimed'' Zodiac,in a downbeat mood,needing help,and considering giving himself up.A cryptogram,now referred to as ''Z38'',had been added to his letter.
The second letter,postmarked December 16th,1969,saw a ''claimed'' Zodiac,in an upbeat mood,joyously informing the residents of California,that their State was in trouble.In addition to a ''shopping list'' of geographically placed,projected victims,''Zodiac'' had added a short cryptogram,now known as ''Z5''.
Together with the Dripping Pen Card and ''340'' cipher,mailed on November 8th,1969,were all three letters,from the same person ? The ''one and only'' Zodiac ?
Perhaps,examining the content of the ciphers,Z340,Z38 and Z5,might assist us to decide.The ciphers share common symbols.But,what of their solutions ?
------------------
Based on Rubislaw 32's solution to Zodiac's ''340'' cipher,''Z38'' reveals itself thus :
N I C E U C E K S T S U
A S O L A S U
E N A K T
O O F O E T
E L T R L I F E
The proposed solution can be separated by syntax,thus :
NICE,U CEKST S,U ASOL,AS U ENAKT OO,FOETEL,TR LIFE
And,can be interpreted thus :
NICE,YOU SEXED ''S'',YOU ASSHOLE,AS YOU ENACT ''OO'',FOETAL,''TR'' LIFE.
Notes :
i] ''S''....could be many things [?].But,I have it on good authority that ''S'' is what residents from Southern States,traditionally refer,in coded tongue,to ''Stage Yankees''.''Stage Yankees'' are ''Yankees'',by speech dialect,from Eastern New England....who,one assumes,are seen as believing themselves to be superior,in the eyes of Southerners.
ii] ''OO''is often referred to,as meaning ''wide eyed'' or ''blank staring''....as in ''...you've lost me,there....''.
iii] ''FOETEL'' is a misspelling of ''FOETAL'',or ''FETAL''....meaning ''childish'' or ''immature'',in an ''Urban'' context.
iv] ''TR'' stands for ''Tuesday,Thursday''.In a business or academic scenario,''allocations'' are often made to either ''MWF'' [Monday,Wednesday,Friday],or ''TR''.So,in a ''derisory'' context,''TR'' probably stands for ''part-time'' [?].
Hence,the meaning of Z38 could be :
''Nice,you sexed 'Stage Yankee',you asshole,as you enact ''blank staring'',immature,''part-time'' life.''
It's pretty bitter,and acrimonious stuff [?].''Zodiac'' was clearly depressed,at the time....but we see an accompanying subliminal message [Z38 solution],that holds venom in the direction of someone.Someone,that may be a ''Stage Yankee'' [?].
--------------------
|
|
|
Post by Rubislaw32 on Sept 20, 2017 8:07:06 GMT -8
....and further to this,if we examine ''Z5'',in the second Fairfield letter.
Nine days later,''Zodiac'' in an a ''now'' joyful mood,the solution to ''Z5'',based on the same solution to ''Z340'',and ''Z38'',is :
C A K I K
Simply ''translated'',as ''CALIFORNIA KICK'' [?].
What this may tell us,is that ''Zodiac'' is enjoying his experience of a Californian lifestyle,at the height of a cultural revolution,placed at its epicentre.
-----------------
More to the point,perhaps,is that Zodiac is an ''emigre'' from another part of the USA [?].And that,since his first Fairfield correspondence,makes unkind remarks,directed at a ''Stage Yankee'' ,then he,Zodiac,actually originates from one of the Southern,''pre Union'' States.
And,who might Zodiac's vitriol be pointed at ? Well,it does appear to be ''telegraphed'',based on the chosen place of posting,and the ''S'' reference.....William Joseph Grant.
Personal conjectures aside,if anyone can see a semblance of meaning and fluency,with respect to all three cipher solutions....then this,at the very least,lends credence to the Fairfield letters being ''Zodiac authentic'',if only on the basis that the ''340'' cipher has been ratified,as Zodiac authentic,itself.
Q.E.D. - proof,as demonstrated.
