The Time Traveler Returns
Of all the weird stories that go around, John Titor is high up there on the strange and surreal. There are few stories that are true and weird that can top it. As with all stories, we must start from the beginning.
Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Timetravel_0, and later John Titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.
One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the now non-existent Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation. ~ http://www.johntitor.com/
So, what we have, is a real person, with real evidence of his time travels, appearing in discussion boards telling everyone of a future American civil war and World War III. This person makes several predictions for the future and then disappears after 4 months.
If you want to drive people crazy with something, then don't respond. This guy was the first international troll, a complete nut job or truly a time traveler.
Some of his predictions
- A world war in 2015 killed nearly three billion people.
- The ice caps are not melting in 2036 any faster than they are in 2000.
- A gravity distortion system that will allow time travel by 2036.
- Not very many suitable vehicles for time travel to the past around in 2036 and I sold the car when I arrived in 2000 (SIDE NOTE: someone owns a car that came from 2036. I probably got smashed in Cash For Clunkers)
- People in the future raise a great deal of their own food and do more "farm" work.
- The Internet is still alive and well in the future. People spend more time talking because life is more centered on the community.
- The new US capitol is in Omaha Nebraska.
- There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005. That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska.
There are more predictions, but needless to say, the big one is the American Civil War between the city and rural areas, followed by World War III.
Well, obviously we haven't had an actual civil war in America yet and no World War III happened in 2015. Of course, this can be explained away with CERN and the possibility that the items that John came back in time for were all part of a plan to stop the war in the future. If this is the case, John Titor changed our time line. The other options is that John didn't go back in his time line, which is why some of his story is inconsistent with the actual events that took place in our timeline.
Damn quantum entanglements!!
Anyway, the story of John Titor is very interesting, if you are into conspiracy and weird events. Why would someone play on this hoax for 4 months and just disappear? If they were hoaxing it, why not bring it back every few years and tell people some new story about how time changed due to this action and that action?
Or, is that was someone just did...
On September 11th, somewhere some guy named John posted a couple of messages detailing the plans to increase security starting with Las Vegas. I'm guessing, if we see action towards metal detectors and back scatter machines in Vegas casinos due to the recent shooting, then this prediction might just come true.
What do we do?
Well, John also left us with this information.
- Do not eat or use products from any animal that is fed and eats parts of its own dead.
- Do not kiss or have intimate relations with anyone you do not know.
- Learn basic sanitation and water purification.
- Be comfortable around firearms. Learn to shoot and clean a gun.
- Get a good first aid kit and learn to use it.
- Find 5 people within 100 miles that you trust with your life and stay in contact with them.
- Get a copy of the US Constitution and read it.
- Eat less.
- Get a bicycle and two sets of spare tires. Ride it 10 miles a week.
- Consider what you would bring with you if you had to leave your home in 10 min. and never return.
I'm guessing John Titor would fit in well with the Prepper movement.
