HISTORY CHANNEL REVIEW [EPISODE 3]- THE 13 MOON CALENDAR

11/29/2017

 
PictureClick picture for Space Station Plaza website
Episode three of the Zodiac History Channel docudrama has just aired on November 28th 2017. The two previous episodes, although not groundbreaking, contained certain interesting features about the Zodiac case. However, episode three left a lingering taste of disappointment in the mouth, presenting tired old stories in the guise of "the team has discovered," including the Lawrence Kane connection.

The episode began with investigators digging up a random piece of ground near Mount Diablo in the vain hope of unearthing a supposed planted bomb some 47 years after the fact, that left one feeling rather underwhelmed, before chasing down another well trodden path in the search for the possible burial place of Donna Lass in the region of Donner Memorial State Park using a code that has nothing to do with the Zodiac Killer.

Lawrence Kane has now seemingly usurped Riverside suspect Ross Sullivan, and in the process, Zodiac has lost five inches in height, which now apparently isn't that big an issue - a suspect bolstered by former Detective Sergeant Ed Rust, brought on to give credence to this 'new' avenue of investigation. The Zodiac Killer has now become a criminal mastermind, tossing Professor James Moriarty onto the scrapheap, as the supercomputer Carmel splutters to metamorphosize into Zodiac's brain, aiming to unlock the Picasso of all ciphers. The transformation of a cold-blooded murderer who was extremely lucky to evade capture, from chrysalis to butterfly, is almost complete. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

The final 'revelation' on the History Channel was the Dali symbol and 13 Moon Calendar, discovered without the services of Carmel, yet a cursory search of 'Zodiac Killer 13 Moon Calendar' using another piece of amazing technology called Google, would have shown I made this discovery on January 21st 2013 and outlined in several articles on this site. Although not presented as a new find by the team, the shock and awe with agape mouths, was no doubt intended to give this impression.
In case anybody is interested, here is the full list of the Dali dates, all falling on the first day of the 13 Moon Calendar: 
David Faraday, December 20th 1968, Betty Lou Jensen, December 20th 1968, Darlene Ferrin, July 4th 1969, Cecelia Shepard, September 27th 1969, Paul Stine, October 11th 1969, John Hood, February 21st 1970, Sandra Garcia, February 21st 1970, Thomas Dolan, July 4th 1970 and Homer Shadwick, July 4th 1970 - all of which fall on the first day of the 13 Moon Calendar week.

Additional possible victims include Nancy Bennallack, October 25th 1970, Judith Hakari, March 7th 1970, Robin Graham, November 15th 1970, Jeanette Kamahele, April 25th 1972 and  Lynn Maureen Derrick, July 26th 1972. The Zodiac compiled his 'Little List' on July 26th 1970. This again falls on the Dali symbol and is the beginning of the 13 Moon Calendar. The November 8th 1969 340 cipher also falls in line. The first three attacks by Zodiac all sit under the Dali symbol, but crucially all fall on day 8, lending some credence to the three circled 8's on the 13-Symbol cipher. The three circles being symbols for the moon.

Any of the main subjects born on a Dali day? Also didn't Donna Lass's murder fall on a Dali day according to the History Channel?

Yes, Donna Lass is correct. In terms of main suspects, Richard Gaikowski.

Cheers Shawn, thanks for comments you left. But at the end of the day, the theory is only a small possibility. Mathematics is a wonderful tool for trickery and deception.

Shawn

Hi Richard,

Do you think the History Channel should credit you for your 13 moon theory?

From viewing the show, and to the average viewer it appears the History Channel discovered the 13 moon theory.

Were you a consultant for the show on the 13 moon theory?

OR did they just basically take your theory from your website without crediting you?

Thanks,

Shawn

Richard
11/29/2017 08:47:51 am

You could give them the benefit of the doubt, because it's not impossible that two separate individuals can come up with the same theory, without ever having seen the original, and not necessarily copied it. What I would have thought, that had somebody connected with the show thought of this, they should have googled it first to check whether or not it had been done before. But the way it was presented in the docudrama gave the impression it was somehow a new finding, which in essence is a falsehood. Only Dave Oranchak or Mike Morford could possibly enlighten us on where and how the show got the 13 Moon Calendar idea from, or whether it was thought up independently. In other words, no, I wasn't a consultant on the show Shawn.

Ray Jenkins
11/29/2017 03:34:35 pm

I have been a victim of intellectual theft on a few occasions. Luckily none of my ideas or theories about Zodiac have been pilfered as yet, but I have had published material re-used by people who knew damn well about my prior publication. In fact I had presented their organization with a copy and one of the staff commented at the time that it would come in handy as they were thinking of writing something similar. They mentioned a collaboration, but I heard nothing more from them. Several years later I happened upon "their" publication by chance. When I challenged them about it they claimed they had no knowledge of my work and had come to the same ideas by sheer coincidence and on their own. They apologized and stated that if ever there is a future edition they will acknowledge me fully. I will not hold my breath. They published most of the information on a web site a year later and guess what? I was again "forgotten" in the acknowledgements.

Ophion link
12/4/2017 03:47:43 am

Richard, there's no way they found this on their own. They had to have come across your site, or maybe even another site this was posted on, but they know you are the one that found this. And it is an amazing piece of work!

Ray Jenkins
12/4/2017 04:38:01 am

Sadly, it seems everything in "Zodiacland" is up for grabs. Must have been some sort of internet fire sale on all things Zodiac in the recent past but none of us were invited.

I guess we all share our ideas freely to a certain extent, in the hope that it may some day be useful, but that does not imply outright theft. Even a courtesy email to request reproduction of similar ideas seems too much to ask.

I'd like to see these guys try to submit their work as part of a university thesis. Profs tend to really frown on unsourced data and there is often only one outcome of this kind of lame "But sir, I came to the same conclusions myself" excuse. They would be booted off campus with no chance of return.

Ray Jenkins
11/29/2017 05:17:49 am

"Mathematics is a wonderful tool for trickery and deception."

A very valid point Richard. Ironically I suspect this was possibly the reason why the Zodiac may have chosen lots of Masonic-like shapes, angles, and triangles in his ciphers and drawings. The "rule of 3" is a common thread that we see, especially in the ciphers.

So there is always the problem of knowing if the Zodiac ever intended a meaning that we attribute, and if he did, was he simply playing mind games with us?

Richard
11/29/2017 05:30:36 am

Agreed Ray, I don't personally believe the 13 Moon Calendar is the answer- it's interesting, but the odds the History Channel gave of 20,000-1, although statistically correct, is not the whole story, you have to factor in the 'available' days Zodiac had to kill, which was usually a Friday or Saturday (weekend days). This brings the odds down if your opportunity for murder is restricted. The odds however is far greater, when you take the 13 crimes in context to every other suggested Zodiac crime, before and after 1968 and 1972.
The Zodiac could have meant anything, when designing his ciphers and cards. The nearest, I believe we can achieve, is making the odds even more greater. A million to one may be nearer the mark. With so many theories out there, claiming the definitive answer is in my opinion non attainable.

Richard
11/29/2017 05:35:57 am

The 340 is a different kettle of fish, and can be solved. I certainly believe it's genuine, unless the Zodiac was playing double bluff and correcting the 6th line to give the impression it was genuine, when it wasn't.

Ray Jenkins
11/29/2017 03:42:08 pm

I think it is genuine too. I just can't figure out what the Zodiac did to it. He tried to make it more difficult by adding more symbols to a smaller cipher, and he possibly switched rows and columns around. I have proven to myself and to others that simply by switching a couple of rows and columns around you can effectively make any cipher uncrackable. In my opinion, whatever he did, he took it too far. One thing I am certain about, it cannot be solved as a homophonic substitution in its present format.

Shawn

Hello Richard,

My research indicates the 13 Moon Natural Time Calendar did not exist in 1969.

It appears that José Argüelles created the Calendar after Zodiac had long disappeared from the scene.

Some considered Jose Arguelles a controversial figure because he made a hybrid calendar using Myan symbols such as (Dali) and used July 26th as a start date.

The original Myan calendars did not have a 28 day month and their was not a set New year. (such at July 26th)

Do you have any information indicating that the 13 Moon Natural Time Calendar existed at the time of Zodiac?

Thanks,

Shawn

Richard
11/30/2017 11:03:26 am

Hi Shawn, you are likely correct on both fronts and the History Channel has jumped the gun. When I first read the 13 Moon Law of Time Calendar and looked at the Space Station Plaza website, it all looked a bit new age. I checked its design date in its current form and found like you, it occurred after the Zodiac era. I don't believe the 'Dali' crosshairs symbol was available to Zodiac on the 1st day of the calendar during his crimes, as you allude. When I wrote the first article, I believe I got very excited and belted the article out. Then by the time I wrote the second article 'Murder in the First' I had done a little more research and couldn't find the Dali crosshairs connection earlier, so I based it on the first day of the calendar week and don't believe I mentioned Dali in the second article. I found 13 Month Calendars predated the Zodiac crimes, so the murders on either 1,8, 15. and 22 (1st day of week) still applied. But you are 100% correct, that is why I ran with the beginning day of the week rather than the Dali symbol, which may be a big mistake, and in a funny sort of way I am enjoying now. As for July 26th you are probably correct also. It certainly is the beginning of the year on the hybrid calendar, but of course that is post Zodiac. I have read differing versions regarding this date such as "“The heliacal rising of Sirius – July 26 – commenced the Egyptian year, and established the 1460-year Sothic cycle – the return of Sirius to the same place in the sky. During this same time, the .25 extra day per year accumulates for a total of exactly 365 days, or an additional year. Hence, the full Sothic cycle is 1461 years. Note that the Sothic measure is fractal as well. In other words, every four 365-day years there are exactly 1460 days, but in that time there is one accumulated day, hence 1461 days! This is why Sirius presents the logical galactic time marker.”
But whether this information can be fully relied on is doubtfu.
The first day of week hypothesis stands true, but the rest can be called into question, and you have done an excellent bit of research unearthing this information. I congratulate you on delving deeper into this topic and not just accepting what I or the History Channel present as fact. That is why I looked further into the date of the Harvey or Booz balls connection. I am going to examine this 13 month or moon calendar connection further, as elements of it may not be fully accurate. You live and learn. Good sleuthing Shawn, keep up the good work.

11/30/2017 06:19:38 pm

It seems like a very New Age kind of belief system for the Zodiac IMHO. But I can understand the idea of a universal clock/calendar belief system may have appealed to him, but perhaps in a more traditional and generalized "Celtic/pagan" kind of way e.g. Halloween = time of death, Beltane = time of rebirth and renewal... which fits with the general "slaves in afterlife" motif.

Shawn
12/1/2017 09:38:29 am

Hello Richard,

http://aetherforce.com/the-13-moon-calendar/
That is just Jose Arguelles post Zodiac 13 moon natural time calendar publicity. His name and a quote is on the page.

Do you know if there were 7 day weeks or even weeks in the original
13 moon calendars used by the ancients? Maybe just 28 days.

It seems if Zodiac was into 13 moon calendar he would have used the Lunar phases of 1968 and 1969 to show a pattern in his attacks.

Each Zodiac attack occurs at different lunar phases within the lunar phases of 1968 and 1969. As Graysmith covers in his book.

To be honest, without the starting date of July 26th your entire theory falls apart. The first 3 attacks do not fall on the 8th day. (For ex. if you started with Jan 1.)

"The heliacal rising of Sirius – July 26 – commenced the Egyptian year"

That is a further falsehood promoted by Jose Arguelles to support his Calendar. There is no documentation to support the above statement outside of him promoting it within the many websites that support his calendar.

Thanks,

Shawn

"To be honest, without the starting date of July 26th your entire theory falls apart. The first 3 attacks do not fall on the 8th day".
You may be right Shawn, I shall take a further look into ancient calendars. It would be such a shame to find this correlation was all for nothing. I suppose the only redeeming feature, is that I only embarrassed myself in front of my visitors instead of 1.5 million viewers. Cheers Shawn, I'll delve a little deeper. I may take a trip to the library.

Richard

Hi Richard,

A new news article from Fox News.

Mains also said that four of the known Zodiac killings were "all done on the same day in the lunar calendar cycle."

"Coincidentally, the symbol for that is the Zodiac symbol," he said.

Richard
12/1/2017 01:43:03 pm

Do you believe their claim Shawn that "The team says it may have solved a significant portion of the diabolically complicated Zodiac code, Z340.."
Significant doesn't necessarily mean a large part of the cipher, just a significant area. If they are referring to the 'almost Zodiac text' on the 20th line, I hope they don't take the first portion of this article showing symmetry between ciphers.
http://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/the-mathematics-of-the-13-symbol-cipher

Surely not, lightning can't strike twice. I highly doubt this is what they are alluding to, but nevertheless I cannot wait for this revelation Shawn. They could equally have taken somebody else's idea. It will be intriguing viewing.

12/1/2017 01:58:39 pm

Hi Richard

I will look at your solution.

Today someone posted a substantial 340 solution that was done by Vallejo PD per poster. I have heard a rumor of a vpd solution in the past.

Thanks Shawn

Ray Jenkins

Shawn,
I won't sugar coat it. That VPD solution is bollocks. Not a valid solution.

The 13 month calendar has been discovered a million times over the 5000 years of history. The new age one put out in 1992 seems to be keeping everyone from furthering this lead. Math is perfect 2+2 = 4. There are 13 full moons no matter what they might say. And, the Jesus Society formed on Dali day 27 September 1540 has always been more than aware of. The members are called Jesuits, as was Salvador Dali.

also;

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Fixed Calendar (also known as the Cotsworth plan, the Eastman plan, the 13 Month calendar or the Equal Month calendar) is a solar calendar proposal for calendar reform designed by Moses B. Cotsworth, who presented it in 1902.[1] It divides the solar year into 13 months of 28 days each. It is therefore a perennial calendar, with every date fixed to the same weekday every year. Though it was never officially adopted in any country, entrepreneur George Eastman adopted it for use in his Eastman Kodak Company, where it was used from 1928 to 1989.

On March 14, 1932, Eastman shot himself in the heart, leaving a note which read, "To my friends: my work is done. Why wait?" A Dali-Day.
He financed the 13 month calendar.

I have yet to view episode 3,Richard,so am not in a position to comment.

But from what you have relayed,''the jolly caper'' continues to progress [?].

One wonders if we will come to a point,of resignation where,it is realised that....that is all it is....a caper [?].

Someone has posted that,in essence,the show so far,has been about ''Bates,Lass and Domingos/Edwards''.

Perhaps,this lends clues to ''real investigations'' having set boundaries,on ''confirmed'' cases [?].

Richard
11/29/2017 07:48:37 am

I think the clues probably lie in the four confirmed attacks. Ciphers are all very well, but their decryption won't solve the case. I enjoy Zodiac related documentaries, but it's about time to stop chasing the same old tired suspects round and round ad infinitum. A fresh approach is needed. The Cheri Jo Bates DNA search is the only interesting quest pertaining to something new. If we can get a blood profile in this case could be achieved, then we could put to bed the Riverside connection once and for all. I know the answer would leave half the Zodiac community scratching their heads, and of course a select few who won`t rule in or rule out Zodiac regardless of any meaningful result. This was shown in the Arthur Leigh Allen DNA test, against the retrieved sample from the letters.

Ray Jenkins
12/4/2017 02:43:44 am

Agreed. I always laugh at those who still believe the killer will reveal his full name in those ciphers. If he does it will be disguised or hidden somewhere within the cipher. He was clearly just messing with people's minds. My own feeling about the My Name Is cipher is it's just an anagram of "BondJamesBond": a joking reference to the popular Dr No movie from the time. "My name is Bond. James Bond".

Rubislaw 32 link
11/29/2017 08:23:52 am

Indeed,regarding Chert Jo Bates,with the accompanying correspondence,providing the tantalising possibility of and actual Zodiac involvement.

With Donna Lass,there is the obvious problem of a body.And,the Domingos/Edwards case,before ''Zodiac'' had invented himself,as the Zodiac.

One can overlook,sometimes,that for LE,it is about ''Murders most foul'',and whether they can serve the public,by bringing those responsible,to justice.

As you have intimated,Richard,among the sleuths in the website community,the priority seems to be,the identity of Zodiac,and whether that tallies with invested energies on a prospective perpetrator.

Richard
11/29/2017 10:42:46 am

Somebody says in that credits section of this episode "Jeff I believe I have the solution to the 340 cipher." The question is, do you believe it.

Ray Jenkins
11/29/2017 06:23:52 pm

I have seen many so-called "solutions" to the 340 cipher. I have yet to see one that actually makes sense to me without the "solver" having to provide a verbose and in-depth explanation. Unless the Zodiac was high on something or drunk at the time, the solution must be clear and readable from start to finish and as such, anybody will be able to understand it from start to finish. Harden's solution to the 408 is a case in point, and easily proven to be the only definitive solution.

Ray Jenkins
11/29/2017 06:40:25 pm

The difference between a good homophonic cipher and a crap one is obvious to most.

Here is a good one, which is as easy to solve as the 408 and anyone can read and understand the solution.

73 116 119 97 115 116 104 101 87 104 105 116 101 82 97 98 98 105 116 116 114 111 116 116 105 110 103 115 108 111 119 108 121 98 97 99 107 97 103 97 105 110 97 110 100 108 111 111 107 105 110 103 97 110 120 105 111 117 115 108 121 97 98 111 117 116 97 115 105 116 119 101 110 116 97 115 105 102 105 116 104 97 100 108 111 115 116 115 111 109 101 116 104 105 110 103 97 110 100 115 104 101 104 101 97 114 100 105 116 109 117 116 116 101 114 105 110 103

Here is a "crap" cipher, a category into which I would place the 340. Actually in this next example, it is the same cipher, just that I have "done something to it" to make it more tricky. But the thing is people could work on this for decades and never come up with the correct solution.

114 114 104 101 102 97 114 101 115 116 114 114 101 116 115 87 101 105 108 98 103 110 116 116 105 111 114 115 116 111 119 108 121 116 104 107 111 111 108 119 97 115 116 105 111 97 105 110 103 102 116 103 98 115 121 108 111 117 115 105 120 97 97 111 117 116 97 110 105 116 111 102 105 116 97 115 110 101 105 116 104 97 100 108 119 111 117 115 101 104 108 102 84 101 115 68 105 99 104 101 115

This depends on whether your question is a general one,or to me specifically.

I will certainly have to watch the show.

With regards to the solution,handed over to the FBI and CPS,every one of the 340 characters are accounted for.No ''fudging'';is a satirical piece,fluent,and dealing with three matters,held together by the ''then'' advent of the Digital Sound age.

Both the FBI and ''servants'' of the CPS,Police Scotland,have thanked me.

I never was expecting much more than this,since ongoing murder enquiries are, ''ongoing''.

The U.S. viewing figures were published,at approximately 1.4 million,for episode 1.

It would be interesting to see,if the general public,increase or decrease their subscription to the series.

The docudrama is posted as ''Series 1'',so there may be more series,on the way....depending on popularity,and of course,potential commercial revenue.

Just found out the US viewing figures for Episode 3.

It was 1.51 million....up 100,000,from Episode 1.

Which,essentially means that the series,so far,is holding a constant,of approximately 1.5 million.

This compares to ''The Curse of Oak Island'',which is the program,normally transmitted before ''Hunt for the Zodiac Killer''....which is currently attracting approximately 3.5 million.

The schedulers goal would probably be to hang on to as many of those watching ''The Curse of Oak Island'',for further viewing,with ''Hunt for the Zodiac Killer''.

I have just examined the comments,about episode 3,on the main websites,and.....almost everyone is in shock [!].

There is the matter of artistic/scientific theft of Richard's 13 moon calendar concept,from 4 years ago.

In addition,the photo shown,that claimed to be of Lawrence Kane....was actually one of Darlene Ferrin's husband,Dean.

And a certain Mr.Voigt is still [ justifiably ] complaining that the idea of ''twich and squirm'' emanated from his site,ten years ago.

How far,are those associated with this production,prepared to go,one wonders,in their efforts to pretend to present something new [?].

Perhaps,a ''newbie'' to the website community summed up last night's shenanigans best :

''Episode 3 was just a lousy joke.''.

History Channel is good at making fake drama ie: Mt. Diablo bomb hunt lol. Why would Ken/Sal chase that rabbit? Oh, its just TV writers creating a story huh... Guess we shud be grateful for any Z cold case exposure at this point.

The Dominguez/Edwards review was plausible as LE connected .22 rifle ammo purchased at Vandenberg Air Base to be the same brand of ammo found at Faraday/Jensen crime scene.

Old boy who lived with Donna Lass and then knew Lawrence Cane thru his fish store in Tahoe was riveting! They need to have coffee with that guy again!

Unless they find Donnas body, the best evidence is CJB clothes blood drop? Why this long to DNA test her clothing? Riverside PD really failed on this one.

Yes,Sully....I am completely in agreement with you.

If both the Zodiac case,as a whole,and the Bates case,ever pan out to a solution....then one feels,that the Riverside Police will have a lot to answer for [?].

From consistent reports,the ''Bob Barnett'' factor was eliminated,by DNA,in 1998.So,one presumes,that police force,effectively putting many eggs in one basket,for 32 years,came up with ''diddly squat''.....and now,a further 19 years on,they finally seem to be making some concessions to ''outsiders''.

I may get into trouble for saying this,but it seems to me,most compelling that the ''slow boat to China'' letter to Paul Avery,was from Zodiac,himself....and ''not'',Phil Sins.

The implications of this are quite worrying.More particularly,that the Riverside Police have ''sold out'' on an elderly pensioner [Sins],unable to defend himself,apart from simply denying,the Riverside Police's claims.

I agree also,that the ''old boy'' who knew Lass and Kane,was worth hearing.I believe that it is common knowledge that Kane was a lazy lush,a ladies man,a thief,scallywag and scoundrel.

Some,it would seem,are persuaded of Kane's ''potential'' as a Zodiac ''possible'',by the two battery charges on his rap sheet.

I would suggest that sometimes...but more often in the past,the police have their ways of meting out ''moral justice'' [?].

With Kane in particular,I would suggest that one of the battery charges,was actually Kane assaulting a man's kneecap,with his groin.The other,a case of Kane assaulting a man's foot,with Kane's rib cage.

Richard, it was really cool to see this on the History Channel. They should have given you credit, but I think a lot of stuff on the show is from different Zodiac sites and they are not giving credit to anyone they are taking the information from. Your find is really one of the most fascinating discoveries in the entire case!

By the way, my hiatus from the case is over, so I am back on my website again. Stop by if you'd like!

Cheers Ophion and welcome back. Let's hope episode 4 improves from last week and they present something new. In reality, what could the team find extra that hasn't already been scrutinized with a fine tooth comb for the last 50 years. Only privileged documents I suppose.

    The Zodiac Killer may have given us the answer almost word-for-word when he wrote PS. The Mt. Diablo Code concerns Radians & # inches along the radians. The code solution identified was Estimate: Four Radians and Five Inches To read more, click the image.
