THE PASTED CLUES

8/31/2020

 
The Zodiac Killer gave directions to two of his attacks on July 5th 1969 and September 27th 1969. In many communications he teased us with his name, although he always either failed to follow through on this promise of a name or we failed to understand the communication. The Pines card was a blend of previous Zodiac activity, but on this occasion he coalesced both, to provide us with the name of the victim he was claiming through a set of directions, exactly as he did just four months later with the arrival of the Monticello card on July 13th 1971. Both postcards supplying a cryptic array of pasted text to identify the victim's name. The instructions he pasted onto the Pines card aimed at the police, whose home on March 22nd 1971 was located at Fremont Avenue and Mono Way on the south tip of Lake Tahoe. It was a simple affair of "passing the Lake Tahoe areas" on the west side of the lake to the "Sierra Club" at Clair Tappaan Lodge on Donner Pass Road. Then from the roadside edge *peek through the pines" to discover the Sierra Club lodge. Once we placed the pasted text of "Sierra Club" over the Clair Tappaan Lodge, the punched hole fell nicely over the Donner Memorial State Park. The entire card designed to intimate he was responsible for the disappearance and murder of Donna Lass, who could be found buried "around in the snow". EIther this was the case, or it was extremely fortuitous that the Sierra Club was located on Donner Pass Road, and the punched hole just happened to fall over Donner Memorial State Park.

The Zodiac Killer by reading the September 26th 1970, San Francisco Chronicle article of Nurse Vanishes -- A Tahoe Mystery, knew that Donna Lass was a resident of San Francisco and worked at the Letterman General Hospital as a nurse, before leaving in June for the Sahara Tahoe Hotel & Casino. Therefore, it wasn't that difficult for him to retrospectively claim he sought her as victim number 12, before the arrival of the Button letter on June 26th 1970 with the victim count now standing at 12. He was clearly intimating he had sought her prior to her move to South Lake Tahoe, having now finally caught up with her. The whole purpose of the card designed to coalesce his activity in San Francisco and South Lake Tahoe under the Zodiac umbrella.

The notion of an author spending a considerable amount of time choosing this particular card, methodically finding and pasting particular text from newspaper cuttings onto the card, and then punching a hole into a preselected position, to then get the victim total horribly out of sequence, doesn't hold any water. Anybody prepared to go to these lengths to design a postcard, to then be accused of failing to notice the innumerable newspaper articles featuring the Zodiac Killer claiming 12, 13, 14 and 17 victims, simply doesn't stack up. Not withstanding the fact, that the author wasn't claiming 12 victims, because he used the past participle of seek (in sought), thereby taking us back to an earlier time.

The Zodiac Killer wasn't responsible for the disappearance and murder of Donna Lass, however, this cleverly designed and thought out card was created to give the impression he was, by suggesting he had trailed her from state to state and wasn't to be denied. Just four months later he would use exactly the same technique when designing the pasted Monticello card. He again retrospectively claimed the murder of Kathy Bilek on July 13th 1971 when this card was mailed. Kathy Bilek was murdered three months earlier in the Villa Montalvo woods in Saratoga on April 11th 1971 - and hence why the Zodiac Killer used the past tense of "shought victim 21" one again. He was taking us back to an earlier time and claiming he had trailed Kathy Bilek before murdering her. We know he wasn't responsible for the murder of Kathy Bilek (because Karl Francis Werner was ultimately jailed for the crime), and so he was very likely not responsible for the Donna Lass murder either. In both cases he attempted to bamboozle us with cryptic text, to deflect from the reality that he had nothing to do with either crime.

Picture
The July 13th 1971 Monticello card was the mirror image of the Pines card. It contained a set of clues to the name of the victim it was referring to, such as "woods", "April" and "near Monticello". April was April 11th 1971, woods was the Villa Montalvo woods, and Monticello was the directional clue to her name. Just as the Pines card directed us to the Donner Pass Road and Donner Memorial State Park, this card directed us to the neighborhood of Monticello in San Jose, where another one of his previously claimed victim's was buried. Donna Lass was claimed to be buried "around in the snow", whereas the clue to the name of Kathy Bilek lay buried in the Oak Hill Memorial Park cemetery. Not only another victim of Karl Francis Werner, but the Zodiac Killer had previously claimed the murder of Kathie Snoozy by the addition of "Aug" in his Dripping Pen card. He chose the resting place of Kathie Snoozy rather than the burial site of Debra Furlong because Kathie Snoozy was the phonetic namesake of Kathy Bilek.

The Monticello card, just like the Pines card, contained a set of directional instructions which revealed a name - and both led to a Memorial Park. This level of ingenuity and thought, not the hallmarks of a casual hoaxer. The Monticello card was the culmination of a deception spanning nearly two years, but as of August 31st 2020 it has never been released into the public domain.

Tahoe Area Sierra Club spans two states. And the two Sierra Club chapters are the Mother Lode Chapter of California, and the Toiyabe Chapter of Nevada.

Absolutely, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is situated in Stateline, Nevada, which is 317 metres from the border of California. The southerly point of Lake Tahoe is California.

Etymology
From Italian madonna, from Old Italian ma (“my”) + donna (“lady”). The given name is derived from the English term, not used as a given name in Italy.


Donna is a derivation of Madonna, the mother of Jesus.
The first female and the first male saints in Orthodox Christianity.
Yet under Catholic (Universal) Christianity and it's descendants - Jesus
has been deified. He has been elevated to a status equivalent to
Israel the one to have defeated the lord hence given that name
of Israel - meaning the conqueror of the [previous] lord. And so now
is the current lord. And, since Jesus is supposed of the line of David.
Then he takes over as the current lord. Hence Pax-Ramona.
For the Zodiac - In his mind.
Madonna is the mother of the one Jesus which is consumed every Sunday
through the rite of holy communion. The Zodiac yet is - through
the symbolism of Donner Pass sacrificing the mother of God in
the form of Donna Lass to be cannibalized instead. Through this
act of eating Donna/The Madonna he consumes the mother of the
lord. And, hence symbolically becomes the new resurrected lord.

Three Numbers like 888 and 666 are in the Zodiac case.
24 rows in the 408. 37x24=408.
z13 has 8+8+8=24 rows and the z340 has 20 rows x 17
and ME-37 M=13, and E=5 for 13+5=18 or 37 x 18 = 666.

In Christian numerology, the number 888 represents Jesus, or sometimes more specifically Christ the Redeemer. This representation may be justified either through gem-atria, by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration of Jesus' name, or as an opposing value to 666, the number of the beast.

St. Eleutherius the Liberator saint
for the day of September 6th
the day Donna Lass went missing.
Another faint linkage?

That's just dumb

Oh for the love of Zodiac! So we have a Madonna worshiping cannibalistic Pax-Ramona numerologist who was probably a Satanist and a member of MK-Ultra to boot. More mythology for this super-villain Moriarty anyone? Oh yeah, that's right, he was never caught, so that makes him ultra-ultra-ultra-clever, right? Just an extra large spoonful of mythology helps the Zodiac go down. The daily dose for some online contributors, who actually contribute nothing but the same old same old.

Charles Manson coined the word ATWA (airtreeswaterandanimals)
Like the Sierra Club they are an environmental conservation group.
1971–1973 Raymond Sherwin was President of the Sierra Club.
He was the Judge that gave Lyndon Lafferty the order to lay off
his concubines husband William Grant.

Some interesting information , BB , and good to see it put on the table .

The deconstructionists will always like to put in their sarcastic words , believing that they are wise . But , they fail to see the point of the exercise - to throw some ideas , based on known facts , up in the air , to see what might be gained .

I think , most assuredly , that the Zodiac , as a young man entering that geographical area , started to notice a '' clique '' of middle-class liberals , with associations to The Sierra Club . Raymond Sherwin , Edward Adams , and even Charles Schulz , were the ones that carried some clout . Then you had the '' Bill and Marian Grants '' of the world , that bought into that clique as a handy label of respectability . For , '' conservationism '' really was at the heart of the movement .

Something even , for which the Zodiac was envious of ( ? ) , and knew he would have a few years to go , before ever being accepted into such '' inner sanctums '' .

And , I would further suggest that a general lack of finding a sense of belonging , was partly at the heart of the Zodiac's problems .

Bill Grant's psychiatrist ( Adams ) , and his wife's boss ( Sherwin ) were both Big-wigs in the Sierra Club hierarchy - so that is certainly something to consider .

But , the duplicity of the Zodiac exists in almost all his correspondences , and I still believe that the reference to '' Sierra Club '' , on the Pines Card , refers to The Sierra Sun Cloud Inn , which looks across to Ponderosa Way , at neighbouring Weimar , where Judith Hakari's body was found .

Weimar - where Bill Grant owned his mountain weekend retreat - a luxury chalet .

Not to, attempt to dis-way other's rights, to express themselves.

The Pines card was constructed , as part of a Lincoln 4 cent pre-dated envelope , issued in 1962 .

Manna from heaven , if the FBI had chosen when to claim that it had emerged .

Incline Village ?

A Tax haven on the shores of Lake Tahoe . A that time , '' new home '' , to Sierra Nevada University ( Autumn 1969 ) c/w library .

Also the ranch set to the popular TV set , Bonanza . The Ponderosa Ranch was a theme attraction , open to the public .

The Zodiac may well have taken a trip out there , in part with first reports of the body of Judith Hakari , on April 27th 1970 , in the Sacramento Bee .

Gimme Shelter is a 1970 British-American documentary film directed by Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin chronicling the last weeks of The Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour which culminated in the disastrous Altamont Free Concert. The film is named after "Gimme Shelter", the lead track from the group's 1969 album Let It Bleed.

The action then turns to the 1969 concert itself at the Altamont Speedway, the security for which was provided by the Hell's Angels (armed with pool cues)...a member of the audience, 18-year-old Meredith Hunter, attempted, with other crowd members, to force his way onto the stage, and as a result was struck by the Hell's Angels guarding the band. Hunter then drew a revolver before being attacked by Hell's Angel Alan Passaro and killed by at least six stab wounds. Hunter's stabbing was captured on film by at least one of the many camera operators filming the documentary, and appeared in the final cut of the film.

Much of the film chronicles the behind-the-scenes deal-making that took place to make the free Altamont concert happen, including much footage of well-known attorney Melvin Belli negotiating by telephone with the management of the Altamont Speedway. The movie also includes a playback of Hell's Angels leader Ralph "Sonny" Barger's famous call-in to radio station KSAN's "day after" program about the concert, wherein he recalls, "They told me if I could sit on the edge of the stage so nobody could climb over me, I could drink beer until the show was over."

Robert Hunter Jr. may have let the Zodiac stay at his home.

The Zodiac's original destination was Washington and Maple.

Hunter's home was on the corner of Washington and Maple.

He was a actor at the Bohemian Grove (the hang-out of the Log Cabin Republicans).

He was a banker. The Crocker Bank knocked over by the SLA was his.

A Crocker Bank sign appears in the Clint Eastwood movie Sudden Impact

It is the penultimate film in the Dirty Harry series, the Apotheosis of David Toschi.
