Plausibly deniable data riddled with clarity

An information war uses information weapons that draw upon cybernetic ideas

According to Apple’s Screen Time application on my phone and laptop, in the last week I spent 65 hours online, which is over 9 hours a day every day. Over 22 hours were spent on the X application on my phone alone. I am wired for input, and my work involves sifting through large amounts of unstructured data to spot patterns. A with the Q drops, an array of anonymous sources are putting out information in a coded form, using a variety of means to obfuscate (but not totally obscure) the message. It is our job to reassemble a picture and determine what we find credible. This is an update to share with you some of my process behind the scenes.

In any kind of war you never give away your operational plans to the enemy, and seek to maximally confuse and confound them. Even the end intention might be trickery, as you feign a desire to invade and take over a territory when you have no such objective. Yet you still need to forewarn people on your own side, and set expectations and encourage certain beliefs and behaviours. The techniques of plausible deniability and hidden sources are neither good nor evil, merely tools to deploy to engineer either confusion or clarity. The appropriate message can get through to those with eyes to see.

Whenever I see one of these posts with a date in it, then I look at the date stamp and put an entry in my Google calendar for that day with a few words that summarise the message, and a link in the “Description” field back to the post. Here is an example for today (original link):

You can see this in today’s calendar as “Emperor Augustus”, along with many other things I have captured. Some are scheduled events (e.g. DNC convention), some are celestial movements (e.g. full moon tonight), and some are speculative (e.g. Biden gone). Where the “message” is just an image, I may use the timestamp and map it to a date, so 8.19pm might go on 19th August. There is a lot of leeway in how I interpret these things, as well as different date formats (e.g. American vs European), so it is an art, not a science. (I am mixing formats in this writeup.) What I am looking for are emergent patterns, and no individual data point carries the whole semantic load.

I have been doing this for well over a year, and have likely put a few thousand entries into my calendar, which are also mixed in with various personal items like birthdays and getting my car serviced, so it is somewhat chaotic! (I have blacked out entries that are personal for this public sharing; I was only doing it for my own amusement.) If you look at the article header image then you will see entries for last week. It doesn’t take a genius to recognise that the events being foreshadowed did not happen on those precise dates. This makes you look like a mental asylum inpatient when you share the data, because people don’t understand the nature of information war.

It is important that we “get it wrong” over and over at first, as this achieves two ends. The first is to cause the enemy to misjudge when things “kick off” and make moves that expose themselves and expend resources. The less obvious goal is to prevent “anons” (who decode these information landscapes) from pridefully gaining a reputation for divination. Over time the confusion “anneals” into certainty, and we get to see which sources and encoding methods were actually demonstrating foreknowledge, and that in turn clues us in as to where to look next for hints as to what is upcoming. We get to prepare psychologically and practically without giving the game away to opponents.

Many encodings are being used, and the “literal” or “identity” one of “tell the exact date” is the exception — for things like a political convention. Everything else is done with indirection, fragmentation, permutation, offset, interval, composition, reversal, or transcoding. It is a computer science geekfest in disguise, and far beyond what any amateurs might achieve — we’re talking state-level actor sophistication in how information is revealed and feeds back into action and learning. To bring this to life, let us consider ways in which information about today, 19th August 2024, might be disclosed. Note that I am showing aggregate screen shots, but each entry might be a target mapping for a different source date; they can only be collated this way visually.

The possibly simplest transformation mapping is from the Gregorian calendar to the Julian one, which lags by “unlucky” 13 days. Today is also a “666” day by coincidence — August is historically the 6th month (SEPTEMber is 7th, OCTOber is 8th, etc.). The sixth day, and “24” is “2+4 = 6” in numerology. (On a similar basis, an event that really happens on 6th might be coded as 15th, as 1+5=6, or vice versa. Nobody could ever possibly explore all possibilities to reassemble the true original picture with absolute certainty.)

Just for this one entry, I will share with you the underlying source data — it’s too much effort to extract otherwise.

Links often “rot” as posts get deleted and accounts suspended, but I got lucky this time. Any individual one of these could be a good actor, bad actor, something inbetween, hoax, random happenstance, or something else. This is just the act of aggregation and compilation to see what comes out. That the entries for the 19th (Gregorian) echo those for the 6th (Julian) is interesting. Let’s look at some other popular coding schemes. It’s a leap year, so 19th August is 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 19th day of the year, which is day 232. That’s an interesting number, as it is a rearrangement of the digits of “322”, the code for Skull and Bones. Let’s look at dates 2/23…

and 3/22.

There are also 135 days left in the year, so let’s see 3/15 (Ides of March)…

and 5/13…

For the 5/4 (i.e. 1+3), and 3/6 (i.e. 1+5), and 6/3 all have interesting rhyming themes, albeit not shared to keep this short. The ambiguity is carefully engineered, it seems.

Apparently it is day 56 Anno Lucis on the Masonic calendar, so let’s check out 5/6…

and 6/5…

It all is rather exciting and lot to be a “coincidence”!

How about recognising August as the 6th month, as SEPTEMber is the 7th?

Historically the year began in April, making August the fifth month. Let’s try 5/19…

Another common coding is to “rotate” dates by half a year, e.g. swap months 1 and 7, 2 and 8, 3 and 9, etc. That turns 8/19 into 2/19…

Alternatively we “mirror”, so 1 and 12 are swapped, 2 and 11, …., and 5 and 8, and 6 and 7. That maps August to May. We’ve already done 5/19 above, though, on the basis of August being the 5th month from the former 1st April beginning of the year. (Hence April Fool’s for those who kept celebrating on the “wrong” day.) Or maybe it is week 34 day 1 — making us look to 3/14 (pi!)…

and 4/13:

There are other calendars too… Enochian, Ethiopian, Mayan, Hebrew, Chinese Lunar, Universal Fixed. I won’t explore all the possibilities for how hints at events to come are sharded across social media via all these mechanisms, as I am sure you have got the basic idea by now. This is like unpicking one of those mechanical puzzles with hidden blocks, levers, and balls inside the mechanism. Only with the right sequence of moves does the riddle “come apart” and reveal itself.

Those “in the club” seem very keen on Gematria, which to trivialise it is a way of hashing words to numbers. “August Nineteenth” in English Gematria equals 1218, so let’s have a look at 12/18…

“August Nineteenth” in Simple Gematria equals 203, so let’s look at March 20th (as nothing shows for 2/3 or 3/2) — zeroes don’t “count” in numerology.

August Nineteenth in Hebrew Gematria equals 950, so we take a peek at 5/9 this year…

…and last year…

…and 9/5…

Looking up the relevant Q posts for these gematria codes is left as an exercise to the reader!

As you can see, curious snippets of information about a credible future are plausibly being scattered across many sources and formatted in ways to make it awkward to reassemble. There is no formal authority attached, which makes it all deniable, and skirts laws on classified data and regulated securities. Some of it will be disinformation targeted at various audiences, such as intelligence agencies and secret societies, so may not be aimed at us ordinary folk. It is structured in a way that the closed-minded will rapidly dismiss it as “that date passed but nothing happened”, yet each item may map onto somewhere else in the puzzle — where it belongs in the jigsaw is hard to guess as we don’t have the “lid” to work from.

What does the future hold? I am not a soothsayer or fortune teller, but here is the screenshot for the next few days on the Julian calendar… (greyed out as Google sees it all as “in the past” when recorded on a Gregorian one):

Here are the next few days of captured notes for the Gregorian calendar:

It might be that these happen as described, or are offset to another month, or map to dates all over the place, or it never occurs. The only fact I can offer is that data is being put on social media, and few are able to collate and analyse it at present. We are definitely in a bio-information war, and some of what we are confronting is dangerous and unnerving.

If the masses were told too much too fast then they would either reject it or have a nervous breakdown, so it has to be released in unconventional ways through unusual channels before becoming “official” and common knowledge. Consider it a titration process of an unpleasant and harsh reality: recovery from enslavement and genocide. We are encouraged that there is a plan, without it being compromised by divulgence.

I wish now I had put all these “digital nuggets” into a special calendar that I could export and share, but I didn’t, and it is too much effort at present to fix that and remove all the personal stuff. With that limitation, I hope that the brief peek behind the scenes of my own analysis work was useful. Many other people are working to anticipate change and be ready, since “nothing can stop what[ever] is coming”.

The hints at catastrophes like tsumanis and earthquakes is unnerving, yet we must carry on with life, and not live it in fear. We have been forewarned that severe turbulence lies ahead. That this data is being put out there ought to be reassuring, suggesting that benevolent forces are using riddles to access the audience most ready to hear some difficult messages.

Only a fool dismisses data without investigation, correct?
