8
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.479
Good Morning, True seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.920
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.079
I'd like to welcome Harriet Soochet to the show this morning.
11
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.480
Yes, good morning from Pome sort.
12
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.599
Of such a good place to be.
13
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:16.200
Yeah, definitely, And I had a coded missive beautiful.
14
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.319
Yeah, we're gonna hit that next. I have a little
15
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.359
bit of laundry. I wanted to get out there. For
16
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.920
anybody who has not seen this movie yet, it's called
17
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.599
Mauritanian and Jody Foster received either nominations for awards or awards.
18
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.799
I honestly only got involved with watching it because I
19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.120
saw that Jodie Foster was in the cast. I haven't
20
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.200
seen her make anything for quite some time. I really
21
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.680
just was going to check out and see how she's aging.
22
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.719
And how she's doing and all of these things, and
23
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.040
found myself completely engulfed in a movie which to me
24
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:51.879
kind of looked like a Patsy for the nine to
25
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.120
eleven events. I found it super interesting to note what
26
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.599
we will do to people as a country, but we
27
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.599
won't do it inside of our country. So basically the
28
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.120
set of this is at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Now,
29
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.159
when did we make friends with Cuba again? Harriet?
30
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:11.520
Do you know?
31
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.759
Well, they're still considered a communist country, so I think
32
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.960
I think we made friends with Cuba again kind of
33
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.360
right after circa nineteen seventy, you know, after all the
34
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:31.599
hijackings back to Cuba, so it's it's still considered a
35
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.360
communist country, but they quietly tried to get some trade going,
36
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.400
and you know, so I think it's been a while, That's.
37
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.639
What I kind of I remember, like back in the day,
38
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.120
if you had a Cuban cigar, you could be in trouble.
39
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.360
You could go to jail or you know, there was
40
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.439
some illegalities behind having it, but it was supposed to
41
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.000
be the best cigar, and of course anybody who had
42
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.080
money had them, and I'm sure they weren't getting busted
43
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.159
and put into prison.
44
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:04.280
But did they exactly I'm like, did they ever lift
45
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.680
that ban or illegalities on the I bet this was
46
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.759
a question for Nolan, But I know he's super busy
47
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.520
with cases and deadlines that he's got to make by Monday,
48
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.400
so I don't know that we'll see him today, But yeah,
49
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.120
that would have been a great question for him.
50
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.360
Either way. They basically, you know, arrested this guy, took
51
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.199
him from his home and I'm guessing somewhere in Saudi
52
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.479
Arabia by the looks of it, or or East India U, yeah,
53
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.199
East India, and they flew him out to Guantanamo Bay
54
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.039
where they basically tortured and hammered him. And the things
55
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.800
that they do to him is just absolutely outrageous. So
56
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.280
no wonder the whole get up for Guantanamo is in Cuba,
57
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.879
because you couldn't get away with that in the United States.
58
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.360
Still illegal to import in the US, they say, as
59
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.719
far as Cuban cigars, gotcha, So you gotta have some
60
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.680
money to get your hands on them bad boys. But
61
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.840
I know there are people out there still enjoying them.
62
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.479
Either way, he was he Finally, Jodi Foster comes in
63
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.479
as his attorney and basically wins him the right to
64
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.960
be released after seven years of torture. Some of the
65
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.800
most maddening things I've ever seen done to somebody. I
66
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.800
literally sat there in awe. Not that I didn't know
67
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.720
that this is kind of some of the tactics they
68
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.279
do when they're trying to interrogate people, but more or
69
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.839
less because you're visually seen and it is based on
70
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.439
a true story. So I would like everybody to, you know,
71
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.639
take a look at this and see what our country does.
72
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.720
Either way. Once she gets him released after seven years
73
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.439
of hell and torture, Barack Obama actually sets an executive
74
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.920
order and holds him for another seven years. And mind you, you
75
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.639
guys that he hasn't been charged with a darn thing,
76
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.600
and that's why Jodi Foster was able to supposedly win
77
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.360
his freedom, and the court said, let this man go.
78
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.000
If you're not going to charge him, you have to
79
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.959
let him go. And of course we see Barack Obama.
80
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.240
It states at the end of this that he literally
81
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.959
made sure that this man didn't leave for another seven years.
82
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.399
So for fourteen years of his life, he lost all
83
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.759
of his freedoms, was treated horrendously by the United States,
84
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.519
and in all for what. In the end, he was released.
85
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.720
He did write a book in regards to this, but
86
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.399
I was watching it. If you watch the end clips,
87
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.600
you get to see the actual gentleman with the different
88
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.480
books from different countries and languages, and it is so
89
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.079
heavily redacted. And that's one of the things they said
90
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.879
at the end is that even though he wrote his book,
91
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.160
the government took their black redaction pen and took away
92
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.319
everything that they said he couldn't produce, which blows my
93
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.040
mind because we're supposed to be the country freedom of speech.
94
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.920
I'm just gonna lost you guys.
95
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.360
Do something. Yeah, can I introduce something really quick?
96
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:53.560
Okay?
97
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.160
We've had in our family and I have them now.
98
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.759
We've always called them the beer glasses from Cuba. My
99
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.399
father went to nineteen sixty two Cuba as a merchant
100
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.240
seman and got these and it was supposed to be
101
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.680
around midnight. I'm trying to remember what the story is.
102
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.959
So I have beer processes from Cuba nineteen sixty two.
103
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.000
That's crazy, and that's what literally before. Okay, So I'm
104
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.439
getting a note that says JFK signed a law that
105
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.240
prohibited US citizens from doing business with Cuba. That's the
106
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.040
only reason why Cuban cigars are illegal in US. So
107
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.279
if we've started to open up trade and association with
108
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.560
them and these are still illegal, obviously it must be
109
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.839
their mainstay. It must be something that they produce hugely,
110
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.839
and they don't want the United States patronizing these individuals
111
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.319
for whatever reason. But you know, that takes us back
112
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.639
to Sb's SBTC. Right, was Subic Bay, the whole Bush
113
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.720
thing and everything that happened. I want to say, what
114
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.519
when when was that? That was? That was in the sixties,
115
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.959
right when they went over it burnt down all the casinos,
116
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.720
all the mobs. Well, I guess that was obviously Fidel
117
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:18.800
Castro Castro, right, that burnt down everything, and yeah, gotcha.
118
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.319
So well there were yeah, in countries like what was
119
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.600
going on in Vietnam that was beginning in Vietnam. I
120
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.720
mean really the war was getting really underway. And that's
121
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.120
my father took part in trying to get people out
122
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.639
and stuff out in nineteen sixty two in that part
123
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.720
of the world also, So it's really strange to be
124
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.639
talking about this at hit home.
125
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.600
Right, right, and with the burning of all the casinos,
126
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.160
and the you know, hotels and the things in Cuba,
127
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.120
those were all owned by what American mobsters.
128
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.120
Well, I think it was a whole mess of people,
129
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.680
but you know, definitely tied to America. I guess it
130
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.199
was only what ninety miles away from Florida, which is
131
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:06.560
the the you know, the closest coastline of USA. So yeah,
132
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.439
I think there was a lot of people, a lot
133
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.920
of businesses connected and they only had from what I understand,
134
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.319
the mob had their two percent or five percent of
135
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.399
all those businesses.
136
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.160
Right, So you bought that system and you burn it
137
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.600
down so that they don't make their money that they're making.
138
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.839
Of course, now all of a sudden we see politics
139
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:33.360
step in and you're a communist communist country. May well,
140
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:38.960
you'll enjoy this YouTuber. He's at Ed edwards Cipher's which
141
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.240
I've discussed with him a couple of different times. He's
142
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.399
the one that doesn't have any handwriting on Ed Edwards
143
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.279
but insists that Ed Edwards is the zodiac and that
144
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.240
he has figured out his ciphers and all of these
145
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.559
things that I thought was extremely interesting at first. And
146
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.080
he reached out to me based on last week's show,
147
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.679
and he said, now you're talking my language, while I'm
148
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.360
not a question documents examiner. I've been studying the writing
149
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.639
style of both the Zodiac and another certain serial killer.
150
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.559
Now is that certain serial killer supposed to be Ed Edwards?
151
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:20.559
And that was supposed to be I wonder why he
152
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.440
said certain right, certain serial killer. I don't even know
153
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.279
that they have any information on Ed Edwards as him
154
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.720
being a serial killer. I guess I should probably look
155
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.159
this guy up. Either way, he didn't have any handwriting
156
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.000
on him for me to look at, but he says
157
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.559
he's been and I don't so, I literally don't understand.
158
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.759
He says, I've been studying the writing style of both
159
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.840
the Zodiac and another certain serial killer. If he is
160
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.759
talking about Ed Ed Edwards, I've alread asked him if
161
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.759
he has hand righting. He said no, So who's the
162
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.799
certain serial killer? And then he says, I've long wondered
163
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.960
about the s or as they're popular known, popularly known
164
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.039
he says popularly, I don't call them candy cane s,
165
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.759
and I'm a handwriting expert, but he says popularly known
166
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.080
candy cane fs. I found them very interesting and I
167
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.200
have a theory of what they actually are. My problem
168
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.960
with the statement is that obviously he is withholding some information,
169
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.159
acting like he wants to give information, but not actually
170
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.759
giving any information in this post. I mean, please, you guys,
171
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.440
if you're going to come on and you're going to
172
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.200
post some type of a comment, at least give me
173
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.759
the evidence or the or the inference of what it
174
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.840
is that you're talking about so that we can have
175
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.200
an actual conversation. So I actually hit him back up
176
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.519
and I said, if you weren't a hand handwriting expert,
177
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.279
how can this be Your language certainly is mine, So
178
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.120
I would love to get your take on the candy
179
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.320
cane SS, even though we weren't discussing them on this video,
180
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:53.000
so I don't know he was known. Yeah that's what
181
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:54.600
that's what he's calling them.
182
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.120
But but he's calling them the candy cane F anyways.
183
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.799
Shaped like a candy cane.
184
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.799
Even maybe it's something I posted online, but.
185
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.759
Anyways, I have no idea. My point being is that
186
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.840
an F by nature is formed like a candy cane.
187
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.639
I mean, look at your font. The F is a
188
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.200
candy cane. We don't refer to it as a candy cane.
189
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.840
It's called an F and it's called a lowercase F
190
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.159
at that. So when I hit him back up with
191
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.879
that instead of getting and I asked him, I'd love
192
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.639
to get his take on it, right, that's my response.
193
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.799
He says, well, that's an interesting question. I'll try to
194
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.799
explain why Donald and Betty Harden were amateurs yet they
195
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.919
broke a zodiac cipher when this FBI, CIA and other
196
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.840
professionals could not hold up. Wait a minute, is he
197
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.200
full of himself? Are you trying to sell me the
198
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.679
single bullet theory? You believe that the FBI and the
199
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:57.960
CIA couldn't solve a simple substitution cipher? You've lost your gord.
200
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.320
That was all staged. I mean, looking back, I can
201
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.320
see it was stage. And I think is one of
202
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.039
the people that he just named. He was a naval expert,
203
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.399
you know, he just you know, have to be also
204
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.200
teaching in the school, if I remember one of the
205
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.120
hardens in spite of their stories, so he wasn't just
206
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.120
your average amateur exactly.
207
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.600
And if we think about the simple substitution, all he
208
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.399
had to know is about simple substitution ciphers and that
209
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.799
the most used letter of the alphabet will appear more
210
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.080
in a message than any other letter of the alphabet,
211
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.960
So it was more of a mathematical equation, right, determine
212
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.679
which letters used most, plot that in for the most
213
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.679
symbols that are similar, and then work your way outward
214
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.120
from there to the next letter that's most used, and
215
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.639
so on and so forth until you actually start to
216
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.879
get a rhyme and reason to this message. It doesn't
217
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.480
I guess if you want to call him a layman,
218
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.080
because well, you're saying that he has experience with it, right.
219
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.559
Yeah, some kind of experience in the past, and they're
220
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:09.720
now teachers. So I said, the any history exactly your
221
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.480
average average layman. But I can tell you it to
222
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.600
be a fact that because I was doing it too
223
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.200
as a kid, you did a lot of word puzzles
224
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.639
because you didn't have like how we have things online
225
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.080
now that is quick quick, bam, bam bam. And you
226
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.919
did use your head. Just like you said, you do
227
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.399
a trial and error until you get it right. And
228
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.679
this the hardness kind of knew how.
229
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.600
To do this, at least the hust exactly.
230
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.039
So yeah, I wouldn't call them layman, and I wouldn't
231
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.639
call them they were able to solve it over the
232
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.840
FBI and CIA. You just literally called the FBI and
233
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:48.559
the CIA absolutely worthless in that one single statement, And
234
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.679
I highly doubt that they were not able to solve
235
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.039
something as simple as a substitution cipher when the end
236
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.000
resolved in twenty Well is it twenty twenty one or
237
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.600
something like that? When that Orngchac claim that he used
238
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:07.759
period nineteen substitute cipher, which was kind of a diagonal
239
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:13.480
type solve basically to this.
240
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.320
Message, Yeah, he tried something, but I got the solved
241
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.799
and I think we covered it months ago.
242
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.600
Now well yeah, yeah, we couverled it in.
243
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.879
The information and it took three people sixteen years to
