What day is it today?

How "riddlers" can encode plausibly deniable foreknowledge of future events

In an era of covert conflict and controlled disclosure, this article explores how foreknowledge of major global events—like financial resets or geopolitical shocks—is encoded through symbolic date mappings and riddles. From military backchannels to online "riddlers", a sophisticated tapestry of anticipatory signals is being woven across time, space, and language. By examining how a single date like July 20th can be transformed across calendars, cultures, and cryptic formats, we uncover the tools of narrative warfare used to awaken the attentive without alarming the unready.

One of the many unexpected experiences of living through an information war is anticipating sudden economic and social change — like we had with lockdowns — yet not quite knowing when it will come. Insiders with access to classified or confidential information have to keep the secret, yet the public cannot be entirely kept in the dark, too. Those who are paying attention need to be given hope that positive change is coming, and confidence that “we’ve got this”, even if the benevolent forces are unseen. This means giving a foretaste of what is to come, without compromising operational secrets. Hence a whole new online genre of “riddlers”, who release anticipatory knowledge in a controlled way.

Let’s take one of the most “fun” things we can hope for, which is relief from penury via crypto (like XRP) “mooning”. For a laugh, let’s assume today is the day this happens, and a whole bunch of ordinary folk go from token multi-thousandaires into instant retirement. The plan to reset the financial system and remove the murderous bankster cartel would have been in place for many decades, and run in complete secret for most of that time. As the launch window gets nearer, you need to prepare society for the positive shock of ending debt slavery. How would you go about this in practise?

The answer is to precision engineer the “plausible” and “deniable” aspects of controlled data release via both named and anonymous online accounts:

• These accounts could be “official” — like the White House, POTUS, or US Marines.

• They can also be of “officials” — like Dan Scavino or Robert Kennedy.

• Many are “notables” in the grand public theatre — such as Elon Musk.

• There are also “quasi-official” characters — such as il Donaldo Trumpo.

• On top of this there are “riddlers” — Mr Loop/Mr Pool, Baba Cugs, bearableguy123, lkaustat, Massimo.

• Lastly there are the “backchannels” — the Q drops being the obvious example, but I would include others like VincentCrypt46 and PeckerwQQd.

This isn’t meant to be a precise taxonomy, or an endorsement of any named account, just a loose map of the information landscape.

Any of these can put out a message which has a superficial meaning at the time it is presented, and potential double meaning (or more!) which relates to another time. So the “obvious” way of showing foreknowledge, say, of XRP “mooning” would be to present an image of the moon on the same month and day of the month as it happens, but years in advance — a “delta” in the parlance. So “today” is July 20th, 2025 (being kind to my mostly American audience using your format) — the “same” day as July 20th, 2020 (five year delate) or 2021 (four) or 2022 (three). This is the “identity function” mapping — the month number of the year, and day number of the month, are identical.

But that’s not the only possibility when it comes to encoding the future for public consumption. How many other ways could we encode a date to show we “knew” what was coming, but without stating it aloud unambiguously (spilling classified info or breaking an NDA)? Well… this might seem like numerological madness — but hang with me!

“Today” is also July 7th, that being the Julian calendar equivalent of today, which lags the Gregorian calendar by 13 days (so 20th - 13 days = 7th).

“Today” is also 2nd August, if we reverse that mapping, looking 13 days ahead to turn “July 20th (Julian)” into the Gregorian calendar.

“Today” is also the 26th day of the 6th month on the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is “6/26” (June 26th). This is a global operation, and not necessarily anglo-centric.

“Today” is also the 20th day of the 5th month on the Romulan calendar — 5/20 (May 20th). This reflects how SEPTember (7), OCTober (8), NOVEMber (9), and DECEMber (10) are months 9-12 in our calendar, but literally are 7-10. Our whole calendar is “off by two”.

“Today” is also the 13th day of the 11th month on the Ethiopian calendar — so 11/13 (November 13th). As there is no 13th month, we might add the 1 and 3, so it’s also 11/4 (November 4th) and 4/11 (April 11th). The Ethiopians kept the most pristine Biblical cosmology, so it seems, and make a great “unpolluted” base for a civilisation reset. The Enochian, Essene, or Zadokite calendars seem to be used in some disclosures.

“Today” is also August 4th or 5th on the International Fixed Calendar (depending on whether it is a leap year).

“Today” is also 14 Tammuz (month 11) 5785 on the Hebrew calendar, so it is November 14th, or maybe May (1+4=5) 11th.

“Today” is also 24 Muharram (month 1) 1447 AH on the Islamic calendar, so it is January 24th, or maybe October (10) 24th — as zeros never “count”. The Hindu, Persian, and Mayan calendars are left as an exercise to the reader.

“Today” is also day 26 of year 6026 Anno Lucis, allegedly the Freemason calendar, but I wouldn’t know. So that makes it 2/6 (February 6th) or 6/2 (June 20th), or 6/20 (June 20th).

“Today” is also July 2nd, as “zeros don’t count” — being “nothing”. So we could equally show foreknowledge by posting a photo of the moon on 2nd July on a previous year, or even this year.

“Today” is also 7th February, as we swap the numbers “2” and “7” around, so “7/2(0)” and “2/7” are “the same”. Indeed, we can permute any date — so “tomorrow” 21st July is 7/21 (July 21st), 2/17 (February 17th), and 1/27 (January 27th).

“Today” is also the 20th day of the “first” month (1/20 or January 20th) when we “think mirror” — so the whole calendar is rotated by 180 degrees. In this mapping, January is July, February is August, March is September, and so on. We’re thinking more like cryptographers here with encoding rings.

“Today” is also the 201st day of the year — digits 1 and 2 — so it is 1/2 (January 2nd), 1/20 (January 20th), 2/1 (February 1st), and 2/10 (February 10th). For a bonus ball, it could also be 10/2 (October 2nd), 10/20 (October 20th).

“Today” is also week 29 day 7 of the year, so it is also 9/27 (September 27th) and 7/29 (July 29th). While “2/97” and “2/79” are meaningless, we can add the 7 and 9 to make 16, so “today” is also 2/16 (February 16th).

“Today” is also when there are 365 - 201 = 164 days left in the year, so it is 6/14 (June 14th) and 4/16 (April 16th).

“Today” is also 201/365 of the way through the year, which is 54.79% - or 55% to the nearest whole digit. So today is 5/5 — May 5th.

“Today” is also day 140 on any of the above calendars, a 7/20 maps to 7x20 = 140.

“Today” is also nearly the end of the year on the 13 month perpetual lunar calendar, where 25th July is the “day out of time) to turn 13 times 28 days = 364 into a 365 day year. So it is month 13 (“Cosmic Moon”) day 24 — which is a tricky one to map. But we could do the “reverse map” — the 20th day of the 7th month of the 2024-25 calendar — which makes today January 29, 2025.

By now, I suspect you’ve got the message — there are a lot of schemes we can use to encode a date! And we’ve only just started. I haven’t touched on how we might use gematria, or references to external data indices, or consistent composition of transformation functions (like switching calendars and reversing digits). It is only when the “big event” happens — like XRP going to stratospheric prices — that we can retrospectively see who knew in advance and what coding scheme they had chosen. We are dealing with the byproduct of world-class military information warriors who are architecting controlled release of information to many audiences. The complexity of the task is mind boggling.

There are many sources, some likely of the same military intelligence origin, who gradually offer us the tools to decode the data landscape. I had never heard of “Anno Lucis”, or the International Fixed Calendar, so would have had zero chance of deciphering the data on offer. You can find them yourself — names on X that come to mind include Trader Girl Q, Tuck Ricco, XRP_Digigold, PATRIOT MMA (Xrp7777), Duefe (durrfe97). I cannot tell you who these people are, even if they are people, or what their agenda might be. All I can do is tell you that we are in an information war, and that we “have more than we know”, but it is down to us to put work in to make sense of it. Not everything can be told overtly, and oblique disclosure allows for titration of difficult messages.

It feels strange writing this article as inside I know many books will be written in future on how the war was fought and won. I am sure that “insiders” are watching people like me teach readers like you about the topography of the data terrain that is visible. Events like the Emergency Broadcast System being activated can only happen after many years of “bombardment” and “softening” of the collective consciousness via endless smaller information provocations and pokes. We are being shifted into a greater awareness, but only a tiny minority are capable of taking on the next layer of the greater hidden reality. Techniques like I have described in this analysis are used to slowly infuse these ideas into the populace without creating chaos of compromising covert operations.

I hope this was useful to you in making sense of the wider narrative conflict. Some who are not ready will dismiss it all as ramblings of the lost, and that’s OK. Not everyone is meant to participate. As an experienced information professional I can easily detect the advanced workings of other professionals, albeit with different skill sets. I am a packet network scientist, not a cryptographer or military intelligence analyst, and the quantum computing side of things is totally beyond my competence. We are all feeling our way through something that is somewhat intimidating and hard to make sense of at first.

What I hope you take away is that there is purpose and structure in a lot of data that is being put out there, but it is not shouted aloud. We are being given the opportunity to see ahead, without being forced; a non-violent ethos with profound implications for how the future is being delivered.

So today is… a good day. Whatever day it is!
