Why shouldn't this occur in other ways. Pure conjecture but its fun. Where you get reports of time slips, orbs or "the light seemed strange" seems to be a recurring theme.

Now we have a reality where time stops for us the Observer on the event horizon, but it is highly unlikely that the one entering the event horizon experiences anything anomalous regarding time.
So he looks back at us, and sees a blur of activity to fast for him to comprehend, the information he had regarding our reality is no longer valid, because it has become to him chaos.

Right you are.

It is true that he will see outside time accelerating, once again you're right. You actually make more and more sense the more I think about this.
Though I wonder what happens when the outside universe dies in a Big Crunch scenario? What will the observer perceive then - after everything has collapsed back on itself, after space and time were themselves destroyed? Will the observer inside the black hole finally witness what exists outside the universe - that which Is when our universe is no more? Will he witness what existed before the universe came to be?
Since he has no longer anyone to observe the aspect of him frozen on the event horizon. Which is an artefact anyway, as the observer is just observing a frozen aspect of time, which no longer has any relevance.
He may already have progressed back in time, to a point where the universe exists again. Its a great way to conserve energy, and more to the point an efficient way to conserve all information.
Does time travel exist? of course because we are travelling it here and now.
Can its normal flow be manipulated, I think its highly likely, that some natural occurrence causes anomalies. Like out of place artefacts. Honest reports of people finding themselves in other time zones. People who just seem to disappear.
The more speed the more the flow slows. where does it say that the speed of linear motion causes the effect?

Changing the past creates an alternate parallel timeline that doesn't affect the original timeline. In the original timeline, the humanity will still be doomed even after they sent the message.
This carries other difficulties, such as conservation of matter and the law of causality.
For example, imagine a situation where a person from the future pops up in front of you in the present. Where did the matter that composes his body come from? What happens to all the air molecules in the volume of space where his body appears?
