Time Traveller

[Convict]

A mate gave me this site a week or so ago. Apparently its been floating around the internet for a while now, so it might be familiar to some people. Im not sure what to think of it, but its an interesting read

John Titor

Hi there Convict,
Had a look at the website and think that his story, posts etc is very interesting. I am a still a little scepticle though, as some of the pictures and other information is questionable because they look artificial.

THe cutaway diagram of the time machine is the most questionable picture online because it looks like that the defence forces may already have something similar.

The good news. Austalia single handedly repells a mass miltitary invasion from the chinese armed forces.


The bad news

Most of our cities have had the sh*t blown out of them.

Sydney & Melbourne deserved it anyway .

Someone has a sad life. He goes by the name of John Titor.

Sounds like the persistence of someone here who has invented a character to suck everybody in. Difference is nobody here has cottoned on, and they respond with abuse and scorn, thinking they are clever.

I've known about this for awhile, quite simply, it's a hoax.

It does however, raise some very interesting issues. Can be intellectually stimulating, depending on your mood.

I'm from the future. There will be a war in 2094 where Australia will become the sole superpower...

Pfft.

 

[Convict]

Thanks for your thoughts

Yeah the pictures are quite amateur aswell. The author does raise a number of interesting points. The major truth here is that its not some 16year old kid sitting infront of a computer, he/she obviously has a solid grasp of world events etc.

Although US politics is heating up with the upcoming election I cant really see a civil war breaking out at the end of the year
It also struck me that in the 'future' peoples activities revolve around the 'community' alot more. Hes communist!

Read the bit on religion

Somebody was given to much exposure to 'Terminator' films and Phillip D1ck novels in their childhood. *Actually sounds like me*!

Nice little sci-fi page but the idea's been done better by others.

The whole thing is very interesting.

What I find the most compelling evidence for a hoax is that no one can point to the 'original' forum posts from this individual, which supposedly occured back in 2000.

Hoax or not, the points regarding the current political situation are very beleivable. A train wreck is coming.

I think we all realise this is a steaming pile of horse poop. Interesting and quite the imagination but poop nonetheless.

Did he bring back a Sports Almanac? If so, can I please have it.

Apparently they traced his IP and found that this "John Titor" posted on a messageboard claiming that he is an alien.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Lets hope its not true because there is a lot of bad sh*t coming our way if true!

 

[Watto]

We'll know if the 2008 games get cancelled

 

[bionicsasquach]

it is interesting about all teh CJD disease, especially with the latest outbreaks and stuff nearly 3 years later. Although the fact that he called himself TimeTravel0 at teh start just sort of ruins thebwhole idea

 

[Stegelator]

Well he said there will be a civil war in 2005 in america.....

 

[FIGJAM]

NOT ONE ****EN MENTION OF HOVERCARS!!!!!!

 

[Bobby Giovanni]

Or of me having my own talk show. It must be rubbish.

 

[Hit And Rum]

I did not see a flux capacitor or Bill or Ted anywhere!

I read this last year. Very intriguing. But the guy is a tool. "No one asked me why Y2K bug didn't happen", well just flipping tell us tool. The bit about mad cow breaking out in the us took my eye, then a couple months ago whaddya know..cases in canada ect, freaked me out. It was also very nice of the chap to tell us how to stop this "world war", tool!
After saying this, I'll wait til the end of the year and reserve my judgement. If there's any sign of bitching in the us....I'll have another read.

I also thought it was intriguing.

Personally, I fail to see how the US would have a city vs country war at the minute. I think the spread of idiots in the US is pretty even accross the board: both city and country.

I also think his story is let down by people living a more simple life, yet there are high tech super trains connecting cities. Who builds the trains if everyone is living a village-like existence?

He also says that there's no good medical system (yet they're building high speed trains) and that when you get a disease, you die. Then he goes on to say that there have been advances in cancer research.

It's a very good prank played by an obviously intelligent nerd who should be spending his time building me a hovercar!

It has almost categorically proved to be a hoax. I have been following the story for months now and have enjoyed the debunking via anomalies web site.
