Strange Beginnings --------------------
As is apparent,in Rubislaw 32's final solution to the Zodiac's 340 Cipher,the introductory phrase employed,is '' Nicest Rest ''.
This phrase,and all composition,apart from the word '' Talk '',in the first three rows of the cipher solution,in its grid form,has been left in tact,from the Zodiac's initial ''final solution'',to the ''primary solution'',that Zodiac presented to us,the solver.
A reminder of the final solution's first three rows,as solution composition :
NICEST REST LESSON CASE TALK,PART AUDIO,IS CURSE OF OAK ISLAND
'' NICEST REST '',one might argue,is a bit of a strange way to start a composition of any sort...even though the Zodiac clearly desired to convey a message,to the solver,in a ''one-to-one'' manner.
There are,more than likely,technical reasons,in terms of the Zodiac's perceived choice of phrase,as well as a desire to convey his ''well being'' [?].With ''degree of difficulty''in decryption,as much a consideration,as any [?].
Why might have he decided on this phrase,'' NICEST REST '' ?
One possibility,may be found in some music,that the Zodiac would have been ''fresh'' to,in only the last 5 weeks,prior to the Zodiac's ''unveiling'' of the 340 Cipher,on November 8th 1969,accompanyng his ''Dripping Pen'' card,sent to the San Francisco Chronicle.
On October 1st 1969,''The Beatles'' released their 11th studio album,called ''Abbey Road''.Even on advanced sales alone,the likelihood was always that most people of the Zodiac's generation,would be familiar with the album's contents,in a short space of time.
Included in this musical offering,was a song called ''Golden Slumbers''.
'' Golden Slumbers '' was a Paul McCartney composition,base on a 17th Century poem,by Thomas Dekker,called '' Golden Slumbers,Kiss your Eyes ''.
Given also,that,retrospectively,there is apparent evidence that other songs,from ''Abbey Road'',held influence over the Zodiac [....''You never give me your money'' and ''Sun King''...],then it is likely that '' Golden Slumbers '',held similar sway.
'' NICEST REST '' [?].
Look no further,than '' Golden Slumbers ''.

'' NICEST REST '' [?].
Look no further,than ''Golden Slumbers''.
In further consideration,the ''solution'' to this ''conundrum'' is,more than likely,not far away [?].
Given the topicality of ''Golden Slumbers'',for the month of October 1969,the probability of the phrase,as a cryptic clue,to a crossword puzzle [?].
As two examples :
Clue : Nicest Rest [ 6,8 ] ,Solution : Golden Slumbers
Clue : Golden Slumbers [ 6,4 ] ,Solution : Nicest Rest
Where might this ''solution'' be found ?
Favoured possibilities :
San Francisco Chronicle
Los Angeles Times
....for five weeks,following the release of the ''Abbey Road'' album,on October 1st 1969.

THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND
Given Rubislaw 32's solution to the Zodiac's Z340 cipher , is there any evidence that the Zodiac's curiosity persuaded him to visit the ghostly island where , the promise of untold treasures awaited those who dared to seek ?
More recently , and at Richard Grinell's Zodiacciphers site , the uncovering of '' The Santa Claus Card '' , giving a persuading link between the Zodiac and murder of Harvard graduate , Joan Webster , in November 1981 , has swung attention over to the East Coast , and the Zodiac's possible travels after his Bay area reign of terror .
The Zodiac visiting Oak Island , Nova Scotia ?
Central to the island of Nova Scotia is the town of Truro and , with a letter postmarked Truro and dated August 9th 1974 , a Radio Station WHN , in New York , received the letter a few days later , contained within an air mail envelope .
This is what the letter said :
PAT HEURST IS ALIVE AND WELL IN SAN JOSE , CALIF . MR. HEURST MUST NOT WORRY . SHE IS ALRIGHT , SHE HAS MADE UP HER MIND . YES SHE HAS . SIGNED MR. X FOR THE S.L.A.
A few reminders there , of the presumed Zodiac's Albany Letter , mailed a year earlier ?
A year on , and in August 1974 , Patricia Hearst , the daughter of newspaper magnate Randolph Apperson Hearst , had been kidnapped , with her abduction standing at 6 months at that point , without rescue from the S.L.A .
What might the politically minded Zodiac , think about this ?
An opportunity , perhaps , to involve himself in some way ( ? ) .
Did mischief beckon , for the Zodiac on August 29th 1974 , and from a town called Truro , in Nova Scotia ?
Refer : HEARNAP FBI File 19 , Pages 905 - 908 .

Did the Zodiac make a single unforced error in his solution to the 340 cipher ?
According to Rubislaw 32's final solution , the Zodiac completed his 340 , with :
'' DEE AUDIO OF LA STRIKES ON COURSE SET TO NEUTRELISE (sic) , SPARE OR RISK A NATIONS ASS . CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI (sic) AFTERLIFE .''
This would infer that the Zodiac is taking a surrealistic approach to public sector and industrial strikes , at that late 1969 time (...which built up , to a '' near '' General Strike , in March 1970...) .
HOWEVER....
It would certainly seem that '' DEE AUDIO '' is referring to a recording of Darlene Ferrin , given just prior to '' DEE AUDIO '',when it is stated :
'' NICE FREAK CLUE AROUND DARLENES CASE ''
Perhaps it is the case , that the Zodiac intended :
'' LAST RITES '' , instead of '' LA STRIKES '' ?
The concluding section of the 340 solution , might then read :
'' NICE FREAK CLUE AROUND DARLENE'S CASE . DEE AUDIO OF LAST RITES ON COURSE SET : KO , NEUTRELISE , SPARE OR RISK A NATION'S ASS . CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE .''
The Zodiac wading into surrealism can cause problems of interpretation .

Have the FBI been economical with the truth ?
On December 11th 2020 , the FBI Offices in San Francisco , tweeted the following , with respect to a cipher solution submitted by Zodiac contributor Mr.Oranchak and his colleagues :
'' The FBI is aware that a cipher attributed to the Zodiac Killer was recently solved by private citizens .''
On December 11th 2020 , also , Mr.Oranchak wrote at his site , Zodiac Killer Ciphers :
'' Last weekend we solved the 340 and submitted it to the FBI . They have confirmed the solution . Authorities have spent the time since then making the appropriate notifications to the victims'families . Now that the notification process is complete , we are announcing the solution .'
The following is a faithful and accurate final solution , by Mr.Oranchak & colleagues , as submitted to the FBI on Saturday December 5th 2020 , with respect to the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher . Syntax only , has been added :
I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FAN IN TRYING TO CATCH ME . THAT WASN'T MK ON THE TV SHOW , WHICH BRINGO UP A POINT ABOUT ME . I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE GAS CHAMBER BECAASE IT WILL SEND ME TO PARADLCE ALL THE SOOHER . BECAUSE KNOW HAVE ENOUGH SLAVES TO WORV FOR ME WHERE EVERY ONE ELSE HAS NOTHING WHEN THEY REACH PARALICK . SO , THEY ARE AFRAID OF LEATH . I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I VNOW THAT MY NEW LIFE IS . LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE DEATH .
( ALL 340 PLAINTEXT CHARACTERS ACCOUNTED FOR )
The FBI added in their December 11th tweet :
'' We will not be providing further comment at this time .''

On June 19th 2017 , Rubislaw 32 submitted the solution to the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher , to the FBI's Cryptanalysis Unit . Rubislaw 32 received a simple '' thank you '' message via email , from the FBI . Three weeks later , Rubislaw 32 submitted the same solution to the Crown Office , in Edinburgh , U.K. , through a liaison detective sergeant , from Police Scotland . Detective Sergeant Nicholas Searle was , at the time , assigned to the murder re-investigations of Dr,Brenda Page and Emma Caldwell . This was not the only time that cipher information , pertaining to the Zodiac Killer , was passed on to the FBI and Crown Office , in Edinburgh . A difference between Oranchak & Colleagues solution offered , and that of Rubislaw 32's is , the mention of a confirmed victim . In Rubislaw 32's solution ,it contains : NICE FREAK CLUE AROUND DARLENE'S CASE . DEE AUDIO OF LAST RITES ON COURSE SET . Could this be the reason why the FBI '' might '' have been economical with the truth , with respect to the solution offered by Oranchak & Colleagues

HAVE THE FBI BEEN ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH ? -----------------------------------------------
On December 11th 2020 , the FBI Offices in San Francisco , issued a tweet , that included :
'' The FBI is aware that a cipher attributed to the Zodiac Killer was recently solved by private citizens .''
This reference by the FBI, is believed to have referred to Mr.Oranchak and his colleagues who , had presented a computer-generated solution to the Zodiac's 340 Cipher which, was presumed to have remained unsolved, since November 8th 1969 .
However, the Zodiac contributor Rubislaw 32 has stated that he was thanked by the FBi, after a Z340 solution was submitted to the FBI's Cryptanalysis Unit on June 19th 2017 and, was further requested by the Crown Office in Edinburgh, Scotland, three weeks later .
On November 13th 2020, and just 28 DAYS BEFORE the tweet from the FBI, apparently referring to the solution submitted by Oranchak & Co, Rubislaw 32 sent the following email to J.Bungart, long-term editor of the Vallejo Times Herald newspaper.
The following is the contents of the email to J.Bungart :
Dear '' J.Bungart - Editor of the Vallejo Times Herald ''
I am writing to you, with respect to your July 3rd 2019 article, marking the 50th anniversary of the murder of Vallejo resident Darlene Ferrin. A crime attributed to the infamous serial killer and extortionist, the Zodiac Killer.
About one month ago, I wrote to one of Darlene's *******, *** *******, enclosing the solution to the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher, and some photographs of a suspect in three known Zodiac Killer outlier cases . Naturally, I was wondering if *** *******, or any of *** ******** might recognise the photographs of the suspect ( ? ). Subsequently, I was to learn that *** ******* had become unwell, and I was concerned that *** or *** ******** might not receive my letter.
So, I thought I would, at least, leave the solution to the Zodiac Killer's 340 cipher with you. I believe the solution to be of particular significance, since Darlene is the only one of the Zodiac Killer's confirmed victims to have gained a mention. This suggests the possibility that the Zodiac Killer knew Darlene personally. The solution has already been handed to the FBI, and the Crown Office in Edinburgh, Scotland, through an assigned liaison detective sergeant from Police Scotland.
I am a qualified mathematician who, has studied the abstract infinity all my adult life and, feel confident that it is the correct solution. It proved very difficult to solve - mostly because approximately half of the solution had been jumbled up, as if the Zodiac Killer had taken a sledgehammer to '' Humpty Dumpty '', leaving me to have to piece him back together again. But, unlike all the king's horses and all the king's men, I was able to do this and, in effect. open up a portal to the past which, had previously remained closed for nearly fifty years.
Here is the solution to the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher, with added syntax 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 LAST RITES ON COURSE SET K.O., NEUTRELISE, SPARE OR RISK A NATION'S ASS - CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes :
NICEST REST ? - '' Golden Slumbers '', a track from the then recently released Beatles album, '' Abbey Road ''.
OAK ISLAND ? - Nova Scotia, where there had been recently renewed drilling in the '' money pit '' to find treasure .
TT CODE ? - Teletype Code .
CAEN ? - Herb Caen, the legendary newspaper columnist .
NFC ? - Neo Fascist Cops , as was later recognised of those signed up to COINTELPRO .
ONE STUDENT '' RACE ASSIST '' AT UCLA TOILET ? - Events as they unfolded, at UCLA Campbell Hall, on January 17th 1969, when Black Panther Youth Leaders Bunchy Carter and John Huggins, were assassinated by ex-FBI agent, Claude Hubert .
A DULLARD'S SUSPENSE ? - A given, a certainty .
And, of course, the reference to Darlene Ferrin :
NICE FREAK CLUE AROUND DARLENE'S CASE. DEE AUDIO OF LAST RITES ON COURSE SET.
Something else that binds the whole message together, are column statements when viewing the solution in its original grid system form. These statements further allude to events at Campbell Hall, UCLA, January 17th 1969, and include :
COON U , U DID UCLA
'' COON '' being a reference to assassin and black man, Claude Hubert, in the perceived pay of his white master ( CID ) J Edgar Hoover .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the FBI and Crown Office have had the courtesy of thanking me for this cipher solution , and other cipher solutions besides, nothing further has emerged with respect to engaging with me - and yet the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher has been coveted for the solving of, in the world of cryptology.
Perhaps this is because the cipher remains as part of an ongoing criminal investigation ( ? ). I personally feel that I have been marginalised and believe that, given the time that law enforcement have had , already, to solve this case , that it is time to reveal such aspects as the solutions to the Zodiac Killer's puzzles and ciphers . These actually represent mathematical '' uncoverings ''.
In addition , six years have now elapsed since the then Lord Advocate of Scotland, Frank Mulholland, met the then Director of the FBI, James Comey, to discuss a basket of cold cases that might hold links with the case of the Zodiac Killer .
Surely , and after six years, it is time to give the families of victims more information ( ? ) . And hopefully, Darlene's remaining family members might be interested to know that Darlene was given a mention by the Zodiac Killer, in one of his ciphers .
Thank you for reading this letter, '' J.Bungart '', and please feel free to contact me about any further aspect of my investigations.
My best wishes to Darlene's family,
Kind regards
'' Rubislaw 32 ''

HAVE THE FBI BEEN ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH ?
Mr.Dave Oranchak & Co. are naturally , of the opinion that their computer-generated offering , represents the solution to the Zodiac's 340 Cipher .
But , are Mr.Oranchak & Co. being premature in this assumption ( ? ) , given the nature and timing of an email sent to the editor of The Vallejo Times Herald , on November 13th 2020 , and just 28 DAYS BEFORE the FBI release a tweet statement ?
It may depend on a perception of belief in the solution , as claimed by Rubislaw 32 which, includes an reference , by the Zodiac Killer , to one of his confirmed victims, Darlene Ferrin .
Did Dan Olson , head of the FBI's Cryptanalysis & Racketeering Unit, see Mr.Oranchak's attempt at a solution, a convenient diversionary ploy, to move focus away from where real investigations are focussed ?
Did Mr.Olson take '' CARMEL Computer Team '' member , Dave Oranchak's name in vein , by offering false praise for Mr.Oranchak's efforts ?
Have the FBI been economical with the truth ?

Kevin Fagan , employee of The Hearst Corporation and S.F.Chronicle journalist knew all along and , within a week of the FBI , about the contents of Rubislaw 32's solution to the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher .
On June 24th 2017 , Rubislaw 32 sent the solution of the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher to Hearst employee and S.F.Chronicle , Kevin Fagan .
The following is the contents to that email :
Dear Kevin , I trust that you are well . With , and in confidence , I felt that it would be historically fitting that your newspaper should receive delivery of the solution to the Zodiac's 340 Cipher . A cryptogram sent to your newspaper on November 8th 1969 and , up to now , remaining unsolved . The FBI now have it , and I have posted an explanation of the solution on the internet site , zodiackillermystery.freeforums.net , so that Zodiac followers may have a viewing . Faithfully displayed , with syntax only added , the solution is as follows :
NICEST REST LESSON CASE TALK , PART AUDIO , IS '' CURSE OF OAK ISLAND '' I INSERTED TEN CENTS....
.....CRUEL TT CODE STARTLES A NASTI AFTERLIFE
The Zodiac was a witty satirist then , as well as a warped and troubled psychopath . Nearly 48 years later.....but never too late . All best wishes to you , and your newspaper .
Kind regards

Based on what we know so far about the movements of Mr. Z and some of my local knowledge, it is quite likely that Novato was part of his regular "stomping" grounds.

An interesting contribution, 1after909. I see that Novato is a town on the other side of San Pablo Bay, from Vallejo.
Given that this thread is about aspects regarding a definitive solution to the Zodiac's 340 cipher, do you have any pertinent context, with which you offer Novato ?
A sincere enquiry made, and look forward to any reply offered.

The FBI's allusions to Bunchy Alprentice Carter and John Huggins - through Leroy Eldridge Cleaver. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In April of this year ( 2021 ), the FBI published their Leroy Eldridge Cleaver Files. Cleaver was a writer and Minister of Information for The Black Panther Party.
Most of the FBI Files concern the attempts by the FBI to apprehend Cleaver, as a fugitive on the run carrying charges of assault with intent to commit murder of policemen. Cleaver remained a fugitive between 1969 and 1975, before agreeing to a plea deal in return for 1200 community service hours. Cleaver's close friend and protege was Bunchy Carter. At the time of the assassinations of Carter and John Huggins at UCLA, both victims had been sharing residence at 810 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles ( File 5 Page 320 ). It is documented within the files that, immediately after the assassinations, the LAPD searched their residence, in order to ascertain whether there might be evidence of the whereabouts of Eldridge Cleaver - though none was found.
On January 25th 1969, and eight days following the assassinations, the funerals of Carter and Huggins took place. The FBI make note that a spy/informant was sent to attend the funerals, to see if Cleaver might be spotted. The FBI's informant reported that Cleaver was not in attendance at the funerals ( File 5, Page 209 ).
Of further interest is, that in the May 1978 letter often attributed to the Zodiac ( Channel 9 letter ), the Zodiac refers to Eldridge Cleaver, in terms of an inferred death threat :
'' Eldrige ( sic ) Cleaver - the niggers gotta get their 20% quota.''
Since the Zodiac had also alluded sarcastically to Darrel Gates and Ed Davies - the then present and past LAPD Police Chiefs, it seems that the Zodiac was trying to stir and provoke, with the known controversy surrounding what became known as COINTELPRO. An alliance of '' Neo Fascist Cops '' between the FBI and LAPD, in their fight against Black Extremism.
Interesting that the Zodiac referred to J Edgar Hoover, the then Director of the FBI, as : '' CID '' ( in the Bident of Hades ) - which means master or lord, in Spanish.
Eldridge Cleaver referred to J Edgar Hoover, as : '' The Gestapo Chief ''.

From Princeray/'s Weblog : The Gregory Files ---------------------------------------------------
'' It was between November 13th and December 1967, Bobby Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, called a meeting at a small church at 32nd and Grove in Oakland. Before the meeting, an extremely humble appearing man with a weak handshake was circulating around introducing himself as the Black Panther Party's Minister of Information. The man was Eldridge Cleaver.''
'' Bobby Seale introduced Alprentice Bunchy Carter, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Southern California Chapter. Bunchy's reputation had preceded him. The buzz among the crowd had mostly been about Bunchy - the former gang leader of a 5,000 strong Lumpen Army.''
'' On January 17th 1969, John Huggins and Bunchy were shot and executed at UCLA's Campbell Hall, by accessories George and Larry Stiner, Harold Jones, Donald Hawkins, and triggerman CLAUDE '' CHUCHESSA '' HUBERT. The Stiner brothers were intelligence gatherers ( snitches ) for the FBI. CLAUDE HUBERT was an undercover agent for the FBI and, after the assassinations was transferred to New York, and then Guyana. HUBERT has never been charged or pursued for the assassinations. Bunchy and John's murders were arranged by COINTELPRO - the notorious FBI-LAPD UNIT, with Special Agent Richard W. Held taking credit. HUBERT and his accessories escaped in a getaway car driven by FBI agent Brandon Clearly.''.

Strange coincidences :
When, in 1968 Eldridge Cleaver faced charges of assault with intent to murder policemen, it was Judge Raymond J. Sherwin who recommended that Black Panther Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver be granted bail. And, it was when Cleaver had been granted bail, that he took flight which, turned into 6 years on the run, with the FBI making it a priority to hunt him down.
As history documents, Bunchy Carter was murdered shortly after Cleaver's escape which, involved a spell in Cuba before Fidel Castro realized that Cleaver was too hot to handle. And then, a long spell at the pleasure of the Algerian Government, before Cleaver was able to strike a deal with U.S. Authorities, and return home.
As Zodiac case followers will note, it was Judge Sherwin who was Marian Grant's boss and sometime lover. With Marian's husband William, a known Zodiac suspect. Matters came to a head with this affair, when Sherwin was found beaten unconscious in a car park which, led to the Vallejo P.D.'s surveillance operation on William Grant being exposed and, Grant subsequently seeking and obtaining a court injunction against all of law enforcement, for Police Harassment.
It is possible therefore, that this set of events contributed to Lyndon Lafferty believing that a Cartel of influential figures were behind William Grant's court injunction success which, in effect gave Grant illegal suspect status for the rest of his life. To Lafferty's end, he still believed that Grant was the Zodiac Killer, despite the CA DOJ giving Lafferty assurances that Grant had been eliminated on the basis of DNA comparisons.
( If of any interest to readers at this site, I had made efforts to persuade Lyndon that his perception was mistaken, and that Grant was actually a victim of the Zodiac's persecution. In addition that I believed that the Zodiac was far more afraid of Lyndon, in the intervening years, than some might perceive as the other way around. But, as is evident, Lafferty's 40-odd years of believing William Grant to have been the Zodiac Killer, wasn't going to change.)
