Cipher Plutonium Mystery Cache
winterdragon: GZ was never a great hiding spot & I won't be able to put anything more muggle proof in place in the near term. So time to let this one retire I think

Introduction
The "Metal Cipher" series of geocaches is designed to give
experience in hand solving simple ciphers. All the caches will be
micro and attached to, or in, man-made structures to give some
physical challenge.
The initial series will include tin(GCZ1C6), bronze(GCZ4FB),
silver(GCZA96) and gold (GCZK1E) and will represent ciphers of
increasing difficulty and are best attempted in order.
Obviously, not at the initial coordinates.
Just when you thought the cipher series was a disturbing memory of
the past, comes a further cache in the series. You've done the
training, nailed platinum, titanium, iridium, and electrum and now
you seek further challenge?
Well all I can say is...
You fool! None of those petty ciphers will be
of any help in solving Cipher Plutonium!
I, the infamous Dr. Nefario, have concealed a small canister of
radioactive material on a man-made structure in your fair city, and
there it will remain, wreaking untold damage, until my demands are
met. If you wish to know the location of this atomic cache, you
must give me... ONE MILLION SMILEYS!
Alternatively, you could just solve the following
cunningly encoded message.

I was so pleased with my evil master plan, that I showed it around
at the Evil Villains' club, and received some very warm comments
from my colleagues. Here is a selection of them:
Zytheran - "You idiot, that's not a cipher.
Although... it does give me about 23 ideas for 5 star difficulty
puzzles. Hmm"
George Dubya - "This here nukular cash
represents a clear and present threat to my fellow 'merkans. My
axis of evil declares war on your axis of evil!"
Dr Moriarty - "Ah, my nemesis Holmes would be
most pleased with this puzzle"
Blofeld - "You are a fool Nefario, and you
are annoying my cat. Go away"
Muwahahahahaha!
Additional Hints
(Decrypt)
[A hint? What sort of evil mastermind do you think I am? Do you think you can trick me into giving a gloating soliloquy in which I reveal all of my plans? Tempting, but not this time!]
