I'll admit I have been a fan of the Titor story since threads started on ATS years ago.
I don't feel the story has been debunked.
Reason #1 Nobody in the world can say whether or not time travel is impossible, and as a matter of fact more and more scientists are saying it is possible not only possible but likely.
Reason #2 Titors "predictions" where Not predictions, they were his history from His worldline, Not ours. In his worldline Y2K was a bid deal and in our worldline it was not.
John Titor gave us a glimpse into how his world changed in just a few short years, and our world has also change in just the last 8 years.
If it wasn't for JT I would have had no warning about how our world is evolving, but since I read his story years ago, when the government continues to make draconian laws limiting our rights, or when I see a news article about Yet Another taser death, or a natural disaster that claims 100,000 lives, or how gas prices are forcing people to sell their cars for bikes, Lets just say I'm not surprised.

We have, once again, drifted off topic. The topic title is not "Was Titor a hoax?", but "John Titor's predictions are unfolding before our eyes".
That having been said, I listed his predictions in an earlier post (twice actually). If you think that these predictions haven't unfolded "before our eyes", then please explain. I have only seen one response to this (a feeble explanation, in my opinion. But still, it was at least a rebuttal)

I read your list and didn't include it just to save space, but if it's not too much trouble, could you put exact quotes from Titor on this list.

1) ... Yes there were biological and chemical weapons used. No mind control weapons but there are new "non-lethal" weapon systems that turn out to be quite lethal. Sometimes I watch your television programs that show SWAT teams using new non-lethal weapons. They usually start out with, "In the future, the army and police will fight its enemies with new weapons systems…" When they use the word "enemy", they're talking about YOU! You don't really think the Marines are going to jump out of helicopters overseas with sticky goop, pepper spray and seizure lights, do you?
2) ... Real disruptions in world events begin with the destabilization of the West as a result of degrading US foreign policy and consistency. This becomes apparent around 2004 as civil unrest develops near the next presidential election.
3) ... I'm glad to see it's so easy for to dismiss the Middle East. Yes, I suppose it is a no brainer but pretty soon it will be a "no arrmer" and a "no legger".
4) ... I believe they are pretty close to putting a man in orbit. It shouldn't surprise you if they do that soon. (Note: said about the Chinese in 2001)
5) (Q) Does the civil war start in such a way that those willing will have time to remove themselves to safer locations. (A) Yes. You will be forced to ask yourself how many civil rights you will give up to feel safe.
6) (Q) Will you readily be able to identify the enemy? (A) They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process.
7) ...They were set in motion ten, twenty, even thirty years ago. Are you really surprised to find out that Iraq has nukes now or is that just BS to whip everyone up into accepting the next war?
8) ...However, if I had an opportunity to talk to a time traveler, I might ask questions like: How exactly does the singularity sensor measure the expansion of the inner event horizon or why does the reality of multiple worlds support the religious dogma that there are no good or bad people just good and bad desicions or what were the political motivations that changed the U.S. Constitution?
Not to say you are intentionally doing this, but these are interpretations of what he said and therefore could be a bit skewed or biased based based on what YOU want to believe.
...he could mean civil war in some other way than we conceive right now.
...Can I ask you one thing. What are you going to believe when the 2008 Olympics happen,
...when there will be no female president for probably 3 more elections,
(Q) Your enemy was in the cities. Was the President in 2005 also on the enemy side? How did you feel personally about the President then?
(A) The President or "leader" in 2005 I believe tried desperately to be the next Lincoln and hold the country together but many of their policies drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights. The President in 2009 was interested only in keeping his/her power base.
... Are you going to say because of the divergence or whatever of our timeline, or are you going think just maybe he was a hoax? If his predictions do come true, even just the Olympics and Female president, I will give you a HUG, HEARTFELT apology and buy you dinner and get you a giant bottle of your favorite kind of drink? Jack Daniels?

So, you don't believe that Titor is a hoax and you don't believe that he was the truth. So, what exactly do you believe? I mean, why would you defend his words when you are ambiguous about what you think of him? With his predictions, I do believe they are probably about half right, half wrong to say it easily. You could say like 1/3 are wrong, 1/3 are too open to interpretation and 1/3 right if you wanted to start to get specific I suppose. ...

What I believe is that some people on here are being disingenuous (fancy word for liar) when they say that he got NO predictions right.
The Chinese in space was a big one. NO ONE IN THE MAINSTREAM PREDICTED IT. It was a shock when it happened. That's just one example.

No they're not. John Titor was debunked already. I'll give you one example that proves his fraudness.
He predicted the US would be in full blown civil war in 2005. Where is our full blown civil war?

Proof of fake... this picture:
Titor, "This is a picture taken in the fall of 2035 during my training. It shows my instructor beaming a handheld laser outside the vehicle during operation. The beam is being bent by the gravitational field produced outside the vehicle by the distortion unit. The beam is visible through smoke that is coming from his cigar."
From here: www.abovetopsecret.com...
Simple. He's a fake.
Reason: Why is the "gravitational field" only bending the laser light and nothing else? It just doesn't work that way.
So no, he is a fake and his predictions are not coming to pass.

I think people are too scared or ignorant to accept that what Titor said might actually happen. As far as I am concerned, we are not heading into a bright future, but into a total mess.
I really don't understand why some people refuse to see that although Titor might not have been 100% right, the general message he delivers is that we are headed for a big change in our society and this I believe is true and can be seen every day.
The US economy is melting, the dollar is dying, oil price is creating poverty and tensions all over the world, Iran and the Middle East in general is a total mess. War is more likely than peace.
And it is not just Titor, there are many who say the same thing in different ways. We are headed into a social collapse (which will shock the west since the rest are already into huge problems) which will be followed by a new paradigm which hopefully will bring a better age on Earth.
Change will happen, we like it or not. We don't need Titor to see that. It is plain obvious all around us. Our way of living (wester societies) has to change to be sustainable. All the world is poor except the west. We are creating genocide by our mindless and ignorant way of living. Each day 25.000 children die because of it (no food/water).
