Re the last two lines: “Life is” was segregated from the transposition scheme and the last word Death is incongruent coming right after “paradice” [sic]. “Paradice” was written backward in the cipher, maybe as a backstop, or coda signifying the end of the statement. So: the last sentence- instead of inserting “life is” after the word “…new” insert it after the word “Death” but inverted (the original cipher involves an inverted triangle grid, read in columns top to bottom that became apparent upon solving) - “life is” becomes “is life” to read: “I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradice. Death is life.” That makes more sense.

This seems like the best arrangement yet. My First thought was to just drop the "Life is" words, and it cleans it up from the videos' proposed solution: The "life is" definitely does not belong where the video shows them placed (11:07).

I think Brandon is on to something and I would read it as: "I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradice. Life is death." Meaning he believes he will be reborn in paradice [sic] and that the only purpose to this life is death and dying, a precursor to something better. Kinda speaks to his experience in the army also. So basically I am saying to ignore the first instance of "LIFE IS" and add it before "DEATH" at the end of the line, similar to what the video says around 7:50.

I think he also thought it would be tricky. You gotta think, in 1969, they would be doing all of these decryptions by hand. If you leave one letter unchanged, a human may get hung up on deciphering that letter, assuming that it is encrypted. A computer will just blow right through that like, “Yeah, F seems fine to me.” That really would only trick a tunnel vision human lol who, I’m sure, he expected to be the only way to solve it. I don’t think he ever imagined someone writing code to apply thousands of transpositions onto his cypher within seconds. Yeah, it took half a decade for technology and code cracking to catch up, but if this software was present in that period of time, it’s likely that he would have tried much harder to conceal that letter lol

This seems a much better explanation of those "extra" words to me. Perhaps the body of the message was composed first, which left some unused spaces when placed in the grid. Rather than fill them with random symbols LIFE IS DEATH was chosen as a "sign off" and fitted into the space remaining. Bar WILL and EASY in the final section, they are the only words written linearly in the forwards direction in the entire cipher. To me that indicates they should be read together, and not split up and inserted into the main message.

I'd argue that "Death is life." seems to fit his message better, with context. He's not afraid of death because death will bring new life from his perspective. "I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradise. Death is life." I just can't find a resonable way to come up with that without swapping "Life" and "is."

I'm also wondering if these words were inserted to make the cipher evenly rectangular - in the 408 cipher for instance he just added gibberish at the end to fill everything out (once his message was complete). But here, maybe he decided to add a separate phrase to fill out each section, instead of just random letters. It's clear that it reads immensely better without the "life is" part added as shown in the video, regardless.

Zodiac was an engineer. His letters are typical engineering handwriting, all letters leaning 75-degree. And the "zodiac'-sign is how engineers draw a circle, indicating the center. Engineers draw first the "cross-hair" indicating where the center of the circle is, and then the circle. My dad always drew a circle like that, and all his engineer friends did too. That's how they train them. The arrow the Zodiac drew in one of his letters is also typical of an engineer.

Second Meta-text has a 'Tit Willo' confirmation peg and points at Robert Hansen, the eventual Alaskan Serial killer. Thus, looks like a cult of at least 4 men with military, hunting backgrounds and possible extreme intelligence. Off the scale possibly in one case. Solution achieved as a reformatting of Oranchak solution within new horizontal 20 x17 grid constraint to achieve likely John Dee readable adjacent letter transpositions. No key as yet but should be pretty clear to those who follow these cases in terms of likely cribs etc. Press the generic R profile icon to see a short LoFi vid on the Hansen pointer and tit willo put up a few hrs ago! Thanks.

The next line is a separate sentence "LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADISE DEATH" He refers to the afterlife as "Paradise Death" like his own title for the afterlife. "I am not afraid because I know my new life is. Life will be an easy one in Paradise Death."

Remove the phrase “life is death” from the last two lines and it reads more clearly. Also, it gives the phrase “life is death” more meaning in general. Maybe it’s the name of the letter? Or it’s the last line of the cypher itself? If you do that, this is how the end of the message reads: “I am not afraid because I know that my new Life will be an easy one in paradice Life is death” Also, the phrase “life is death” can be interpreted two ways: Either straight-forward as “life is death” or if you reverse the words “Death Is Life”.

This is also the first that came to mind when I was reading the sick thoughts: it seems that he wanted to show that life and death are two sides of a mirror; exchangeable. So according to his way of thinking you can say: in paradise life is death, but also in life paradise is death. Like he wanted to prove that it is insignificant that these victims died. But because he killed them and helped them pass to paradise, they will be his slaves there. So if you kill him he will only be glad because he will be the master there. So probably in this life he feels like a slave. These are Some pseudo psychology thoughts that come to my mind when I try to understand this. Maybe some schooled criminal psychology specialist could say more about this?
