THE TIME TRAVEL TALE OF JOHN TITOR
http://www.johntitor.com/ ^ | Nov 2000 - Mar 2001 | John Titor

Posted on 01/31/2004 10:17:06 AM PST by Jonx6

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 old Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.

On March 24, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our time and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day.

Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.

Unfortunately, I never spoke directly to John Titor but there are many out there who have and continue to wonder about their experience. As you get deeper into this site, you will find his posts, links to other sites about him, downloads and speculative information attributed to him after he left. I have taken the posts and organized them by date and subject. My editorial work is copyrighted but the unedited posts and the people who experienced it are in the public domain can be found on other sites listed inside.

As you read, please try to keep two things in mind:

1. John appeared to answer nearly every question that was asked of him over the 4-month period he was online. Because of that, many people neglected to read the previous posts and asked similar or exact questions he had already answered. It may offer a glimpse of what a time traveler goes through when having the same conversation again and again.

2. These posts were written before 9-11, the Columbia accident and the second Gulf War. Many people believe John may have known of these events and dropped clues without actually referring to them. It's also widely agreed that he made several predictions about future physics discoveries that have materialized as he stated.

I have included a guest book where you may leave your comments. I will endeavor to respond to any questions you have based on my work as well as to continue adding any relevant information and web links. Please check the guest book for news and developments.

I hope you enjoy your journey with John Titor.

A pity that our time traveller apparently didn't know about Google. He could have made his story much more believable by leaving a few "facts" that can be independently researched and proven with a Google timestamp.

Fascinating! It reminds me of the Caltech professor I heard last nite on Phil Hendry's show describing how dilithium crystal research has now put America on the brink of faster-than-light space travel. It's just a matter of a couple of years now he said. I think it's fascinating that Gene Rodenberry predicted FTL so long ago!

I read his posts some time ago. I believe he predicted a second American civil war would break out in 2004. I could see this happening if the socialists don't get back in power in the November elections. Several whacko environmental cultists have already issued declarations of war against free enterprise and private property.

(“Right now we're in the early stages of World War III. We are the navy to Earth First!'s army. It's the war to save the planet. This kind of action will be getting stronger. The environmental movement doesn't have many deserters and has a high level of recruitment. Eventually there will be open war.” - Paul Watson, Sierra Club board of directors)

I wouldn't put it past the savages in the eco-fascist cult to bomb a large corporation or start sniping at soccer moms in their SUVs.

We shall see....

His description of a future life does not tie in with Catholic prophecy from the Apparitions of Fatima.

And would you ask him who is going to win tomorrow and what are the scores going to be for each quarter. I want to know if I should start celebrating tonight...... ;-)
