I think he went back to the future.
John Titor.
You internet Noob.
Most of the stuff he says, I can't even comprehend... I guess that's how I would feel if I asked for the meaning of life.
http://www.johntitor.com/
Remember that guy who got arrested for inside trading who claimed he was from the future and offered the cure for AIDS in exchange for being allowed to return to his time machine?
John Titor is an amazing guy. Even moreso if its fake.
He doesn't look futuristic enough. I'm disappointed.
It's easy to predict the future when your predictions are really really vague. Just ask Nostradamus (you'll have to travel back in time to do it, though).
I can see the future. A peace of shit is going to become President.

I don't get it, could you please explain?Quote:

64. The year 2008 was a general date by which time everyone will realize the world they thought they were living in was over.
65. The civil war in the United States will start in 2004. I would describe it as having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse. The conflict will consume everyone in the US by 2012 and end in 2015 with a very short WWIII.
Two more months until we know for sure that he's full of shit.

I personally think, and have thought since 2002, that a civil uprising will be the reason a draft will be reinstated in this country, but thats just me.
It's interesting though, either he's the biggest troll the internet ever saw, he's mad, or he's for real.
I tried to go look at his site, but my head melted from the horrific design.Quote:

So at the least its interesting.
What I do remember him saying was, Bush, two months after the election, would do something so horribly uncalled for (many people believe its reinstate the draft) with no hint at all that he was even going to do it, that the seeds of civil war are planted.
So thats what the two month thing is people are referring too.
Really? I remember the "Waco-type event every month," but not this "Prez does something awful in two months."Quote:

Deffinatley the most interesting one he ever made.
Here's a picture of his time machine..

He got pictures of it on that site mentioned.
The real one.
That one looks better though.
I'm glad he travels in style.Quote:

From his site:
"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"
Most people who read his posts are idiots then.
"John Titor, I would love to come along with you for a ride to the future.
I appreciate the offer but I'm not sure you would like the year 2036."
WELL DAMN! I was so close to being a post-apocalyptic environment ;/
"The war is a result of faulty politics and desperation from Western
leadership during the US civil war. Yes, I suppose you could stop it."
oops? The fabric of time has been disturbed!
Speaking of somebody who isn't worth paying attention to...
Joust: even if you don't believe him (like me), he's undeniably incredibly clever. You can eat shit for laughing at someone who should be applauded.
There are no bicycle tire factories in the US, so once the shit hits the fan, they'll be very hard to come by. Its this sort of obscure shit that makes his arguement all that more believable.Quote:

So basically we need to start a war with the other side of the galaxy to show them that humans really do kickass and in order to do this I have to insure that WWIII does indeed occur in 2015. BTW, the people from 2075 hate you people from 2004, we really hope a lot more of you die and sooner, there will still be as much of us in 2075 so there is no worry, I won't give away that secret.
"he's undeniably incredibly clever"
How? I read some of the stuff and I didn't get that vibe at all. He clever for getting retarded people to buy this crap? Man, that's awesome.
You didn't get it, yet we're the retards.
Lunch just ended, so no big reply for now. So just remember you eat shit.
So what? Do all the countries that export bicycle tires refuse to sell to us in the future during our civil war? Shit, that's the best time to be exporting stuff. And if it was that big a deal I don't think it would be that hard for some of our automible tire factories to convert if needed. Industry didn't stop during our last civil war.Quote:

I guarentee he is not from the future, I looked for him.Quote:

And no, I will not solve any of your world problems, my goal is to make the world worse so WWIII breaks out earlier and I know exactly how to accomplish this, my objectives will likely be achieved within the 2009 timeframe with many smaller objectives finished by the end of 2005.
Why is this dude still here?
What is his purpose to 'warn' us of these things.
Why doesn't his military just go back to 2015 BEFORE the first attack and STOP the war with a pre-emptive attack?
He's not. He went back.Quote:

I don't believe it either.
So, he's gone now? Nobody hears from this guy anymore?
If he can get an old computer then he already is changing his future, is he not?
He is interesting, that's for sure. I read a lot of his website, but does he ever say what Canada does in this future? Do we just sit back and let USA fight amongst themselves?
Nobody gives a shit about Canada.
Nobody.
He said too much.
RIP _00
I DO.
MLB and NHL don't care. :lol:Quote:

For people who have read the his story, i just wanted to add a new news story, that may relate to John..

Russia to deploy new-generation nuclear weapons system: Putin
ADVERTISEMENT

President Vladimir Putin served notice that Russia intended to remain a major nuclear power by deploying a new weapon in the coming years that other states lack and are unlikely to develop in the near future.
"We have not only conducted tests of the latest nuclear rocket systems," Putin told a meeting of the Armed Forces' leadership. "I am sure that in the coming years we will deploy them.
"Moreover, these will be things which do not exist and are unlikely to exist in other nuclear powers," he added.
Putin failed to specify what type of complex he was referring to, but Russia has been seeking to upgrade its nuclear arsenal after the United States announced plans in 2001 to deploy a missile defense shield in abrogation of its 1972 ABM Treaty with Moscow.
Washington argues its shield would be capable of defending the United States only from attacks from so-called "rogue states" and could not stand up to Russia's massive Soviet-era nuclear arsenal.
However Putin has since mentioned plans for Russia to also develop a similar system along with new types of intercontinental missiles that Moscow claims could penetrate any space shield put up by the United States.
The ITAR-TASS news agency speculated that Putin was referring to the mobile Topol-M missile, which is analogous to the US Minuteman-3 missile and is meant to form the backbone of Russia's future strategic nuclear arsenal.
Russia this year also successfully test-fired a different new missile that its developers claim can penetrate any shield, since it flies in space on a ballistic trajectory and in the atmosphere as a cruise missile -- swerving away from interceptor rockets.
The Topol-M is the first intercontinental missile developed by Russia alone following the Soviet Union's collapse, but deployment of the land-based mobile unit -- initially set for the end of 2002 -- has been repeatedly delayed because of severe cash constraints.
The ITAR-TASS report quoted the missile's Moscow developer as saying that funding for mass production of the mobile Topol-M will be included in the military's 2005 procurement budget.
If that timetable is respected, the missiles could be issued to the armed forces in 2006. Topol-Ms have been deployed in silos since 1998.
The shift in attention to nuclear deterrence came unexpectedly because Putin has for months pointed to international terrorism as the chief threat to Russia's national security amid a wave of deadly suicide attacks from guerrillas in rebel Chechnya.
Putin said Wednesday that Russia still viewed terrorism as the greatest threat to its national security but should also not forget about nuclear dangers.
"We understand that the moment we turn our attention from such elements of our defenses as a nuclear missile shield, then we will be facing new threats," Putin said.
"That is why we will continue to persistently develop our armed forces on the whole, including its nuclear arsenal potential," Putin said.
Putin said that Russia should also build up its navy's nuclear capacity -- it had 10 successful sea-based test launches this year -- and generally work to modernize armed forces that remain bogged down in war-torn Chechnya for a sixth year.
However analysts point to Russia's financial struggles and question how the military intends to follow through on Putin's vow.
Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov reported at the same meeting that the 2005 budget has only pencilled in the purchase of four intercontinental ballistic missiles.
"This proves that Russia is still working from a doctrine of nuclear dissuasion as was the case in the 1990s. This highlights the weakness of its conventional forces," said independent political analyst Alexander Golts.
"The West should not get too excited about this" because it reflects an outdated mentality, Golts said.
huh..
Russia is probably developing this stuff to throw China off, as China is their biggest conventional threat. I don't know how they will afford it though, twenty five years ago they had the most powerful conventional forces in the world and I suspect they are aiming to reachieve this, but as of now if China invaded their country which isn't likely for just any old reason, China would woop some ass and it could quite possibly end in a nuclear exchange between the two.
