Hi Soze,
Interesting thought. Can you elaborate? How might the bomb drawing be a disguised depiction of locations on a map?
Tks,

Sometime back in 2010, I was looking at a map of San Francisco and thinking about Paul Stine's last ride. I am moving about this map and catch a glimpse of what looked a lot like the timer. I pulled up the bomb diagram and began comparing it to the location on the map. What I found was this: (probably should follow along with your own map)
The 5 bombs that he has drawn on the bomb diagram are actually streets in a subdivision called Anza Vista. This subdivision, back in the day, use to be a cemetery called Calvary before the city of San Francisco tired of cemeteries being in the city and moved the cemetery further south. If memory serves me correctly, the gutters along Buena Vista Park are lined with broken and, perhaps even full, headstones from this cemetery. I guess it should be noted, also, that some of these headstones could also be headstones that washed up on the beach but the cemetery rings more true. If memory serves me correctly, there are even photographs of these gutters showing what looks like names on a head stone. Rather disgusting if you ask me. Don't recall the name of the city the cemetery was moved to off hand but Colma sounds familiar. Don't quote me on the name though.
There are two wires that come off the bombs and point south towards the timer. This is actually one street, Divisadero, that in turn, turns into Castro. Castro continues on and runs into Market. From market, it runs southwest to Clayton. It travels north on Clayton to Frederick and then east into Buena Vista Park. Buena Vista Park is the timer. If you look at a map while I am describing this, you also see the two mirrors he depicted as being Stanyon and Arguello. The buses line of travel depicted in the bomb diagram is Geary. The section in the diagram that the mirrors are connected to is Golden Gate Park.
I know it seems like a stretch. I thought that when I first came up with the idea. People can and do see what they want to see. But as crazy as it sounded, I thought that if he did do this (terrorize a community with a bus bomb plucked right off a map of San Francisco), then he did it with something else. So I went looking for that something else.
This is when I decided to use the symbols from the Exorcist letter. I took these symbols and turned them 90°, 180° and 270° clockwise. I began comparing them to San Francisco. I found nothing. I then thought well, he murdered people in Vallejo and perhaps, the symbols could be found there. I found nothing. Thinking the same thing about Napa, I zoomed out and it was at this point I recognized one of the symbols from the Exorcist letter.
You have to take the Exorcist letter symbols and turn them 90° clockwise. When in this position, the symbols line up with the following: Muir woods, Brooks Island, Treasure Island (the symbol I recognized first), Alcatraz, 5th and Mission, 7th and Mission, Brannon, Industrial and Oakdale streets. At first, I thought maybe he was showing a boundary from which he could be found. But then I started realizing that Muir Woods is a National Historic Monument, that Brooks Island, Treasure Island and Alcatraz were all part of the National Park Service. This by definition also made Muir Woods a part of the National Park Service as well.
I started wondering if 5th, 7th, Brannon, Industrial and Oakdale contained something concerning the National Park Service and went looking for it. At 5th and Mission is the U.S. Mint. At 7th and Mission is the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. At Brannon and 7th is the National Carbon Company, also known as, Everready. Each one of these are part of the National Park Service as a National Historic site etc. What through me for a loop for quite some time (at least a year) was Industrial and Oakdale. I found nothing in the way of parks, monuments, landmarks etc., etc.
Then one day I am reading up on the city of San Francisco and the earthquake of 1906. The city of San Francisco was nearly destroyed by this earthquake and the fires that followed. I learned that most of the people of San Francisco had to move further south to an area of the city known as Butchertown. The conditions described were absolutely appalling. These butchers were lined along a creek called Islais Creek and had been for some time tossing the carcases of dead animals and rotting meat into this creek. The stench filled the air. Most people were sick.There was not an abundance of clean water and so on as you can imagine. It was this that also brought about a later concern with the Hetchy Hetch.
Well Islais Creek ran right through the area of Industrial and Oakdale before there was an Industrial and Oakdale. Today, its still there but now its underground in the form of an estuary. No doubt run by California officials but under the confines of the Bureau of Reclamation. The Bureau of Reclamation is, obviously, not a part of the National Park Service. However, what the National Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation have in common is their parent organization: The Department of Interior.
Now the Department of Interior was created out of a need that other departments of the federal government had: the need to get rid of departments within their own organization that didn't seem to fit. So all these departments that didnt seem to fit got crammed into a new organization called the Department of Interior. The Department of Interior, when it was first created, was humorously known as "the Department of Everything Else" for it was now in charge of or on top of everything else that wasn't needed.
If you recall, the zodiac spoke of (on top of everything else) torturing his 13 slaves for the afterlife. In my opinion he was referencing the Department of Interior. I know that doesn't make much sense now. However, when I go to post the remainder of this post in a day or two, it will be plainly clear that there is a much bigger story to the Zodiac than what's being discussed.
