Here's what John has to say about our different timelines:


How do you know our worldline and yours will follow the same path?
This worldline and my own are almost exactly alike.


As for the Patriot Act, it benefits more for the security of our society than it does harm. Take a look at how many times we stopped terror plots here and around the world.


Please read your own source material, "ALMOST exactly alike"

As for the Patriot Act...... in the words of Ben Franklin, "Those who would sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither"

The Patriot Act dismantles your rights under the US Constitution. I strongly suggest you actually READ the document itself and READ the actual language contained. Then go and read other pieces of legislation that refer back to the Patriot Act and see just how vague it all is and how it can be applied to not just "Terrorist" but to you as well. As a matter of fact, go read what it defines as a "Terrorist" - Anyone who breaks ANY law. I realize your only 18- but have you gotten a speeding ticket? Maybe you father has? That is a broken law, thus you both can be considered a "Terrorist"

How are you so sure that the Patriot Act has stopped terror attacks? There are those who would claim that these foiled terror attacks were not attacks at all, but instead manufactured propaganda to create support for illegal legislation.

Souls: Yes I do feel that immigrants (legal and illegal) at this point have more rights than American citizens.

Dan: You make a good point regarding the Olympics... however a lot of Titor believers would state that he was referring to the Summer Olympics and not the Winter Games. That most people associate the "Olympics" with the Summer games and not the Winter games.

It has always been my belief that a solid argument can be made on BOTH sides of the Olympic prediction and it really comes down to what you want to believe.

Again I am not a believer or a non believer of Titor, I do however think some of what he said holds merit.

One thing that could start the violence of said Civil War is vermonts desire to secede. Because odviously, our government wouldn't be too happy about that. www.vermontrepublic.org...

What rights have you lost that affects you to say you are against the Patriot Act? Just answer this question, and I might understand your viewpoint.

Again, using common sense, it is absurd to say that the government is making up stories about terrorists to get people in jail.

Back on topic now: Can you explain the Olympics question?

I remember reading somewhere that Tennessee and a few other states wanted to do the same thing. I recall a thread here on ATS that discussed it. I am sure a search would find it easily, however I really need to start getting ready for work so I am not going to look for it


Great point though.

Has anybody thought about the paradox's surrounding a time traveler coming back in time and mentioning things that have yet to come before they happened?

I suppose I could go back in time (if it was possible!) and warn people about something that happened - but it wouldn't reverse my timeline, much like the "killing your own grandfather" paradox - apparantly the change would not manifest.

Maybe John Titor split a timeline off when he mentioned the civil war - resulting in a timeline with a bunch of people on ATS watching for a civil war, and anyone else (gov?) that may have been paying attention to it. This would not have been present originally - when the civil war supposedly happened (2005 on Titor's timeline), so who knows what may have "happened" to it?

Also, pretty much everything he said and did (if real) could be applied this way - meaning we can really put no value in his "predictions", or devalue him by "debunking" his claims!

One thing remains, John Titor or not - the world is what you make it.

What rights have I lost? I thought I had pointed those out already. "Free Speech Zones" are a violation of our First amendment rights to Freedom of Speech.

Preventing people from peacefully protesting also violates our rights under the First Amendment.

Requiring protesters to file for a permit to protest violates our rights under the First Amendment.

I could continue on, but again I need to get ready for work.

I also did explain the Olympics question, just read it a few post above.

No I will not be laughing about a Civil War, but I would be moving.

Tell me, have you seen any war battles happen here in America in the past two years between the people and the government?

We still have a constitution and we still have our rights. People take the president's patriot act as a bad thing.

My point is that there is no civil war and John Titor is an attention-seeker.
no but america is extremely divided look at fox news. calling alex jones and 9/11 truth movements as idiots and saying such things as "i believe we can take them". the media is using the media to radicaliza us against each other pro-border control/amnesty for the war/ against the war middle class/upper class. this has and will continue. he said by 2008 everyone would know there is a civil war. weapons being stripped in new orleans from law abiding citizens. who knows what will happenn ive been to jail though and i tend to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. because anythings a possibility im not going to ignore a possibility espescially one that can be as drastic as this. im just saying you dont have to believe titor but please for your own sake dont think everything in this country is always going to be normal and docile.

The entire subject about JT and his non predictions could easily be a way out for him not to lessen the value of his big claim about coming from the future.

At the same time you have people like Nostradamus and Da Vinci that did a really good job in predicting some of the most important events in our timeline. My point being that this entire arguement about not revealing specifics events because some way could alter our present is a non starter, you could easily look at this guys predictions from the past Nostradamus in specific and still nothing is being done to avert some of the disasters that he has predicted.

Add to that, that when he has decided to point some of the events that had happen in his reality, they have not come to pass here it just lessen the validity of his claim.

There are no such thing as "Free Speech Zones". That is funny because you are giving free speech right now against the government. So you are breaking the law now?

About the laws against protesting, wasn't there a mass protest last month.
Oct 27.org

We still have the same rights as we did 10 years ago.

If you want to talk about the dissolution of our rights, please start a new thread and I would be happy to debate it.

Free Speech Zones are not real??


A simple google search would correct you on this one. Allow me to help..

Wiki's version that discusses the issue and also discusses the numerous ACLU lawsuits that have been filed on the subject.

Speaking of the ACLU this discusses both free speech zones as well as restricted protest.

The American Conservative discussed these issues in 2003 in this article.

And if you only choose to believe the Mainstream Media, CNN posted this article discussing the constitutionality of Free Speech Zones.

And HERE is yet another article discussing the limits of Freedom of Speech and restricted protest.

Care to tell me again it is all made it and not real?

We can still protest, but the government now has the right to dictate where and when you can do so. That my friend, is unconstitutional. I would encourage you to actually read the rights given to you under the US Constitution, then go back and look at some of these laws. Then you will see that your rights are indeed at risk under the Patriot Act, Presidential Directive 51, and countless other directives and legislation that has been passed post 9-11.

I realize sometimes "seeing is believing" so check some of images out.

Free Speech Sign

HERE is an actual "Free Speech ZOne" in action, notice how it looks more like a large holding cell.

HERE is a "Free Speech Zone in Houston TX

HERE is a list of guidelines posted up outside of "Free Speech Zone"

Want to know what happens when you protest outside the "Free Speech Zone" just ask Brett Bursey who was arrested for holding a sign at a SC Bush speech that said ,"No War for Oil" and was arrested and charged. You can read it HERE or google his name.

John Titor's unwillingness to discuss specific events is what gives him away as a fraud in my mind. Yes, some of his predictions are seemingly happening in a broad sense. But those predictions themselves were so broad that that's not hard to see.

You could claim an American Civil War started in 2001 after September 11th, when there was debate over to go into Iraq or not. That's still a major issue, in fact.

We'll have to wait until next year to see if things get violent, I guess...

In trying to imagine a superuniverse with infinite possibilities and worldlines, I think of a room with mirrors on all the walls. You are aware of your captivity but as you look in the distance, you see an infinite number of �yours� in an infinite number of mirrored rooms. The gravity distortion machine allows you to �step� out of your room and into another next to you. The closer you are to your original room, the closer it looks like yours, the farther away, the stranger it looks to you.


Using his logic, our reality would be one of the reflections in that room with the differences dependent on the *temporal divergence.

*


Timetravel_0: For starters....the fact that I'm here makes it different. I've also noticed little things like news events that happen at different times, football games won by other teams...things like that. I would guess the temporal divergence between this world line and my original is about 1 or 2 percent. Of course, the longer I am here, the larger that divergence becomes from my point of view.


So it's Catch 22!

I think one of the most significant aspects of titor is he claims, in 2036, after a nuclear holocaust, that the polar ice caps are not melting at a faster rate than when he was posting, around 1999



The reason it's significant is the pictures of the polar ice caps melting at a much faster rate came out after he "returned to the future", so he is exposed as a fraud right there.

he also claims the 2002 olympics are the last, and of course, the american civil war of 2004 with organized troops engaged in combat.

He got celebrity status when he apparently predicted cern was planning on creating micro singularities in their LHC collider, the mini black holes that power his delorean.

The thing is, that announcement was rumored on the internet in technical circles before the announcement, so it is certainly plausible that he knew that before he predicted it

he had huge misses on 9/11, katrina, and the tsunami.

The ony reason anyone can believe he is a time traveller from 2036 sent here to pick up an obscure IBM PC (they can time travel, but can't write code ?) is because they want to, for whatever reason.

Wouldn't these also be specific events that would have violated his rules for disclosing future events?

I think you make a great point about traveling back in time for an IBM CPU... but again. I do not consider myself a believer in Titor or a non believer in Titor. I just think some of the things he said holds some merit.

I believe Titor claimed there would be Civil War/Wars here already.

Now that has not happened, so chalk that up to a miss.

Not taking anything away from the folks involved at Waco, and Ruby Ridge, but those are not Wars at all. Ruby ridge was just a small family, (bless their souls), and Waco I don't know exactly how many people, but they were basically massacred by our government, then set thier place on fire. Branch Davidians, it was more of a cult than anything. No civil Wars there.

I have yet to see any evidence that John titor is anything but a mediocre story teller.

Again extraordinary claims require extraorniary evidence. He has shown us nothing.

I put him about 20 rungs below Billy Meier. At least Meier tried to make some evidence.

Titors Time Machine, was a box on a passenger seat in a car from what I can tell. But again, I can't get past his answering questions with questions, and being able to convienently say i cannot answer that because it can have adverse effects on the future. Pretty nice to have that up your sleeve when the heat get's turned up a bit too much.

His followers can even say well if it didn't happen here, it is probably happening in another timeline. That's another convienent out he leaves himself. Multiple timelines(dimensions?).

I mean his claims are OUTRAGEOUS, I can't believe anyone here would even bite at this junk.

If there is some solid proof, pictures something tangible he brought back from the future perhaps. Video of his Time machine in action, or pictures (not drawings) of the entire thing.

I mean anyone can claim to be a prophet, and make general/vauge statements that can be looked at as semi-accurate no matter what, I mean that's an old parlor trick.

Scum like Sylvia Brown, and whatever that other guys name is, still make money doing it today.

John Titor,

then why did he discuss the olympics, nuclear war, the civil war, mad cow, cern etc etc etc ?

I was wondering if you read the book on him?

Out of the infinite worlds that could be sprouting out of the quantum foam each nanosecond, I can imagine one like his easily. It took a different branch some time ago it seems. His not telling us details could have been for a reason too.

When I read the material, I allowed for some military training he might have had on paradox damage control. (Loose lips sink realitys?)

I thought that knowing could help us avoid such futures, but his already traveling back to this time "thread" from a world already in conflict, would be less useful to us causing undue attention. Too much has transpired already in his time line to be prophetic to ours.

I do not believe in paradox theory. I believe infinite potential makes new branches to the time line constantly, and sometime down range the new time line diverges sometimes greatly in appearance and events .

I think if he was here, he was from a very different time stream. Yet if he goes back before his time lines divergence from ours, I could see how his mission could be successful to get the IBM gear.

As far as time travel as a working theory?, I'll wait to see what comes of the new collider results at Fermi this coming year.
