Someone using the assumed nameof J ohn Titor and claiming to be asoldier on a mission from 2036presented a considerable amount ofinformation on the Web beginningaround November 2000 about his

mission and time travel machine, hisperspective on our society, how our society is goingwrong, and how society as we know it will end in a veryshort but massive global nuclear war in 2015. He's gonenow, back to 2036 he said he was going in his lastposting on March 24, 2001, and the threads he left acrossthe Web in his five months with us have been slowlyevaporating since then. As time passes and interest inTitor's story grows, new "Titor" material and impostersemerge, and self-styled debunkers may go so far as toclaim the story's already been proven a hoax (although so

far there's never been any such actual proof offered).There are some good reasons to not believe everythingyou read, and good reasons to keep your mind openabout Mr. Titor's story are more and more often appearingin the daily news. Russia is sabre-rattling again inresponse to perceived American aggressions; tens ofthousands of nuclear weapons still stand ready to launchon warning; police powers, illegal detentions, andconcentration camps are growing like a cancer on theConstitution. Even the mad cow disease epidemic hepredicted has already begun rearing its ugly head in

America as well as around the world. Mr. Titor's wordssound more prophetic every day.

Sure, sure, a time traveler. Why should anyone believesuch a cockamamie story? The answer is you shouldn't,at least not yet. Keep a healthy skepticism. But keep anopen mind too because there is a strong thread of internal


2/52

supporting evidence in the form of some fairly detailedphotographic documentation and good physical theoryabout his time travel machine, its design and theory ofoperation apparently originated with Titor, and mostimportant of all Mr. Titor made a very specific prediction

about the near future that should soon prove him to beeither a fraud or not:America wil l soon be engaged incivil war with itself; a civil war that we'll see thebeginnings of during 2004 and 2005, escalating untilit is indisputable by 2008 ("a general date by which timeeveryone will realize the world they thought they wereliving in was over") and "will consume everyone in theUS by 2012" (no vague Nostradamus ramblings or Bible-baloney in this stark prediction). Such a scenario seemedsufficiently preposterous at the time this site came online(begun May 2003) that if it does come true, a reasonable

person ought to consider that Mr. Titor was probably agenuine time traveler, and that the rest of his story isprobably true too.

One purpose of this website has been to document Mr.Titor's prediction about civil war in America well inadvance (beginning in May 2003) so that after 2004 or2005 if there actually have been a series of armedconflicts between the U.S. government and its citizens,escalating as Mr. Titor described ("a Waco type eventevery month that steadily gets worse"), there won't be

any question for new visitors or even previous visitorswith less than perfect memories that this specificprediction was not fabricated after the fact. Formallycopyrighted evidence has been created and presentedhere before 2004 as proof of that prediction. In the light othat evidence nobody can legitimately claim it was allmade up afterward; the sole purpose of copyrighting thatdocument was to nip that potential distraction in the bud.We don't know yet if Mr. Titor was a fraud or telling thetruth, but we ought to be pretty sure one way or the othersometime in 2005 and have absolute certainty by 2008 atthe very latest. If it turns out he was telling the truth, we'llknow to get ready for 2015. That would give us a fewmore years of regular meals and clean sheets andshowers and medical care and clean air and water toenjoy, before we blast all those things away in a horrificday of "megadeath for the kiddies" as Dr. M. Goldmanhas so eloquently put it. Billions of people will die ratherhorrible deaths if J ohn Titor was telling us the truth, and


3/52

any of us could be among them.

Another purpose of this website is to capture, analyze,and organize the information about J ohn Titor stillavailable, in one place for ease of reference. If he's a

fraud this will have been a waste of time, but if he provesto be real then the knowledge he left may save many livesif people heed his warnings and plan appropriately (getwell away from cities and from other nuclear targets by2015, and be prepared). Escaping initial blast and fireeffects would give you a fighting chance to live throughthe subsequent radioactive fallout, famines, and diseaseepidemics at least, and there is just the barest outsidechance that by having a foreknowledge of events, wecould change our own future and avoid a catastrophicnuclear end to today's civilization. By 2036 he says,

society and a new government have begun to recover inAmerica, but the destruction and residual radiation arestill having major detrimental effects. We are regarded asthe generation "that had it all, but threw it away". AlthoughMr. Titor said we had the power to change our futurebecause the multi-worlds theory is true, he also said weprobably won't. At first he seemed to feel that people ofour time are so wrapped up in themselves and their pettyconcerns over status and material possessions that wejust don't have the attention span to care about the future,but as time went by he began to realize more and more

that there actually are plenty of people alive now whocare about the kind of world they'll be leaving to theirchildren. I never communicated personally with J ohnTitor, but I am one of those people, and I do not want thefuture he described to become ours. Another purpose ofthis website is therefore to attempt to change ourworldline for the better, especially if Titor turns out to havebeen genuine. But even if he was a fraud, I still don't wantto see my country turn into a police state, and I amdetermined to be a part of preventing that fromhappening.

In a world so full of scammers, the odds are J ohn Titorwas a fraud playing mind games, and there are certainlyplenty of frauds on the Internet. In this case I'm holding onto cautious skepticism while retaining an open mind to astory that seems so internally consistent and offersseveral indicators of genuineness, including a specificand dramatic prediction of civil war very soon as proof. He


4/52

pushed no agenda, had nothing to sell, and apparentlywasn't concerned if people believed what he saidbecause he didn't expect to be believed in the first place.In the post below he said his motive was "For most of myadult life, I have read about, wondered and debated about

this time. I value this opportunity to share experiences".

My Motive:

Ive been in your time a bit longer than I had expected. My next

opportunity to go home comes in the spring. For most of my

adult life, I have read about, wondered and debated about thistime. I value this opportunity to share experiences. If you

absolutely believed I was a time traveler, with no skepticism

whatsoever, then we would be unable to communicate. The

focus of our attention would then always be on the machine.The experiences, opinions and reasons you do things are just as

valid as mine and just as different. I hope to return home with a

better understanding of why you think and believe the way youdo. Although I do understand the reasons for asking, I wont

gain from any communication with you by spouting physics

formulas and pop culture predictions. Please do not assume Iam purposely avoiding questions. I am human, I get tired, and I

forget things. Please, just remind me if I missed a question and

I will get to it.

I think that if I was a time traveler from a postnuclear2036, I too would have a certain interest in learning aboutthe culture that brought on the worst mass destruction

and lingering misery in my history. Mr. Titor was clearlyinterested in people's reactions to what he had to say,and he did say some very interesting things about thedirection our country is going, in particular itstransformation into a police state and how that sets thestage for civil war. If he was a fraud he went to a fairamount of trouble to build a model of his time machine.Some of the pages from the purported technical manual


5/52

for the unit are very technical and would be very timeconsuming to construct. Most difficult for a scammer tocreate (one would think) would be a plausible theory andfairly detailed schematics describing how his time machneworks. [ Apparently Mr. Titor's government-issue "Time

Distortion Gravity Displacement Unit" uses two spinningand charged microsingularities (mini black holes) massingaround 200 pounds each to distort gravity around them;by distorting gravity the singularities also distort time, andtime can then be moved through. It's a plausible theory,it's consistent with current black hole theory, and thetiming of development he describes is reasonablyconsistent with the expected development of mini blackholes when the Large Hadron Collider at CERN comesonline in 2007. If J ohn Titor is a fraud, he is one verysmart fraud. ]

Still a healthy skepticism is in order until the proof isoffered in 2004 or 2005 (or if you're really a hardcoreskeptic, wait until 2008) as to whether or not civil war inAmerica has become a reality, a prediction that seemedtotally preposterous in 2000 when John first begandiscussing it, and only slightly less preposperous by 2003.Civil war in America? Get real! But things do seem to bebecoming more and more uneasy in this country, so whoknows? Either way it goes, whether J ohn Titor wasgenuine or a fraud, we'll know the truth soon enough. If it

turns out he was genuine you can use that knowledge tosave your ass and maybe, just maybe, society's collectiveass too.

John Titor 's Time Machine

How would you introduce yourself ifyou were a timetraveler? J ohn Titor began with his mission and machine,straight up. At first you think "sure, sure" but then a closelook at the design suggests it just might be possible if thethings some physicists believe about the relationshipsbetween time and gravity in the vicinity of singularities aretrue.

Posts: 78Greetings. I am a time traveler from the year 2036. I am on my

way home after getting an IBM 5100 computer system from the

year 1975.

My "time" machine is a stationary mass, temporal displacementunit manufactured by General Electric. The unit is powered by

two, top-spin, dual-positive singularities that produce a

standard, off-set Tipler sinusoid.

I will be happy to post pictures of the unit.

J ohn provided several graphic images to corroborate hisstatements, which are reproduced below. Most are fromhttp://www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/john.html. Note2/20/04: Due to heavy traffic to this page, increasingbandwidth costs have compelled me to trim and shrinkmost of the graphics, but they have not been otherwisemodified and they can be found elsewhere if you reallywant to see the originals. If there is sufficient demand


7/52

(email me) I'll make them available to you at a nominalcost to help cover my bandwidth charges.

While none of the individual images is so compelling as toestablish Titor's veracity beyond a doubt, together they do

make a compelling argument that the possibility should beconsidered. Otherwise he went to an awful lot of trouble topull off a hoax (which remains a possibility) but for whatpurpose? There was never any request for money or evenbelief, and the guy is gone now. Some of these imageswould be easier to fake than others; the photographswould have required building a model. The technicaldrawings took somebody a long time to make. Above allthere's the time travel nuts and bolts that Titor presents inthe context of a theory that actually makes sense. That'sthe most amazing part about the story to me, good theory

having testable linchpins that nobody ever conceivedbefore (Tipler came close but his design was soimpractical as to be impossible). Because many physicistsfully expect microsingularities to be created at CERNsoon, you'd think the idea of using the things to create atime machine would have been floated before. It'spossible the idea may have been passed around via beersand napkins for a long time but never published, like theStrategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) was beforeReagan announced it like it was his own idea. If the ideahad already occurred to some people but was supposed

to be secret (i.e. Manhattan Project), maybe the realreason for Titor's story was to bring it into the sunshine.Whatever the case may be (we may never know) there'sno denying Titor was the first to publicly put forth thisalmost fully-formed theory, and that puts him at least ashigh or higher than Tipler on the genius scale if he's afraud, or else it means he's a smart, well-trained soldier ifhe's genuine.

Although the documents posted were printed from a computerprinter, is it really that hard to believe that manual typing is justa bit more common in thirty years? After the war, many things

like manual printing machines, bicycles, sailboats and hand

tools were valued a great deal. I have noticed more people in

California are installing wood burning stoves.

I realize my claims are a bit ridiculous but my intent is not

really to be believed. However, if I had an opportunity to talk toa 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 thereligious dogma that there are no good or bad people just goodand bad desicions or what were the political motivations that

changed the U.S. Constitution?

Fig. 6: Scan from the technical manual. Shows layout ofmajor external components and defines the Main andSteering singularities. Notice they are located fore and aftof the time distortion field, which direction is delineated by

the prominent black and yellow tape (here black andwhite).

By using two microsingularites in close proximity to each other,it is possible to create, manipulate and alter the Kerr fields to

create a Tipler gravity sinusoid. This field can be adjusted,

rotated and moved in order to simulate the movement of massthrough a donut-shaped singularity and into an alternate world

line. Thus, safe time travel.

Fig. 7: Detailed device schematic, presumably another scan

from the technical manual but that is uncertain. Unfortunatelythe legend is missing for all the numbered labels, or we could go

a lot farther in analyzing the circuitry.

be turned on? Possibly it's in some kind of testing or

maintenance mode or maybe it's reflecting light from outside the

vehicle. The glow appears to be coming from a button labelled'emergency disconnect' (#5) in Fig. 6. But it could also be

coming from the 'emergency view screen' (#4) shown in Fig. 6

if that is perhaps a red LED display.

---Questions for timetravel_0 with permission to post.

Pamela:

by the way can you tell me what it feels like to time travel?when you are in the process of doing it what does it feel like and

what do you see and hear. you made mention that you had to get

use to the fields. Do you see a bright flash of light?


22/52

Timetravel_0:

Interesting first question. The unit has a ramp up time after thedestination coordinates are fed into the computers. An audible

alarm and a small light start a short countdown at which point

you should be secured in a seat. The gravity field generated by

the unit overtakes you very quickly. You feel a tug toward theunit similar to rising quickly in an elevator and it continues to

rise based on the power setting the unit is working under. At

100% power, the constant pull of gravity can be as high as 2 Gsor more depending on how close you are to the unit. There are

no serious side effects but I try to avoid eating before a flight.

No bright flash of light is seen. Outside, the vehicle appears toaccelerate as the light is bent around it. We have to wear

sunglasses or close our eyes as this happens due to a short burst

of ultraviolet radiation. Personally I think it looks like your

driving under a rainbow. After that, it appears to fade to blackand remains totally black until the unit is turned off. We are

advised to keep the windows closed as a great deal of heat

builds up outside the car. The gravity field also traps a small airpocket around the car that acts as your only O2 supply unless

you bring compressed air with you. This pocket will only last

for a short period and a carbon sensor tells us when it's toodangerous. The C204 unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a

jump and travels at about 10 years an hour at 100% power.

You do hear a slight hum as the unit operates and when the

power changes or the unit turns off. There is a great deal ofelectrical crackling noise from static electricity.

TITLE: J OHN TITOR VALIDITY TEST BASED ONPREDICTION OF CIVIL WAR BY 2004-2005

PURPOSE: This document outlines five of the moresignificant predictions made by a person calling himselfJ ohn Titor who claimed to be a military time traveler from2036. ("Titor" is believed to be shorthand for TimeTraveler and not his real last name). These predictionsare compiled here and formally copyrighted as proof oftheir existence at this time so that they may be used toeither give credence to, or invalidate, predictions 1through 4 based on whether or not prediction 5 (civil warin America) comes true.

PREDICTIONS:

1. Primary interest and concern surrounds Mr. Titor'sprediction of a global nuclear war in 2015 thatwill destroy most of the major cities in the UnitedStates and many around the world, kill a largefraction of the world's population, and leave theenvironment contaminated with massive amountsof long-lived radionuclides. By 2036 whencivilization has begun to regroup, we of today will

be known as the generation that had it all, butthrew it away.2. Microsingularities (mini black holes) will be created

soon at a particle collider, and physicists willeventually learn how to build time machines usingtwo of them at a time. It is already expected bysome physicists that particle energies will be highenough to create microsingularities at CERN'sLarge Hadron Collider when it begins operation in2007, but Mr. Titor did not say exactly where andwhen they would be discovered. The Titor-specificpart of this prediction is that microsingularitiescan and will be used to build time-travelmachines.

3. The multiple-worlds theory is true, and theresomehow exists an infinity of universes wheresomewhere each choice possible gets actualized,as new "worldlines" constantly spin off from oneanother. Similar wordlines may be thought of as


24/52

alternate realities in which details may vary slightlyif one is not too far from another, but someworldlines may diverge drastically apart.Apparently as Mr. Titor's time machine operates itnavigates through these alternate realities, and

time travelers try to stay as close to possible totheir original worldline, the success of their effortsbeing measured in percent divergence from theiroriginal worldline. We are just a few percentdivergence away from Mr. Titor's original worldline,he says. According to Mr. Titor, while he believeswe are headed for and will experience the samemajor disasters he knows from his history, we stillhave the power to alter our reality as we choose:we do have free will. Because there are an infinityof universes where all different choices are played

out anyway, it therefore wouldn't harm anything ifwe did take steps to intelligently modify our future,and that is also why Mr. Titor felt he could do noharm by slightly modifying this reality by revealinghimself here. He mentioned some smalldivergences he's noticed, such as books notwritten and sports events won by other teams,which he says is normal for divergence of a fewpercent, and that some divergence is inevitable(he can never return to the exact same worldlinehe left in 2036, but he can come very close).

4.Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) will beepidemic by 2036 and it is spread by eating themeat of animals infected with related diseasessuch as BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy,better known as Mad Cow Disease). CJ D is ahorrible and fatal brain-deteriorating disease forwhich there is no treatment or cure, presentlybelieved to be caused by a prion (an abnormalisoform of a host-encoded protein, with no RNA orDNA). Mr. Titor expressed astonishment thatpeople are so careless about the food theyroutinely ingest; apparently CJ D has a latentperiod of 10 to 30 years, which means (if Mr. Titorwas not a fraud) that many people are probablyunwittingly contracting the disease today who willbecome victims of the CJ D epidemic. We'reignorant meat eaters.

5. Civil war in the United States will begin in 2004or 2005, as the result of increasingly oppressive


25/52

police state tactics like warrantless searches andother violations of American civil liberties. It willbecome common for people to have their doorskicked in and homes violently invaded by policelooking for evildoers. The Gestapo-style

oppression of innocents by an increasinglyoppressive and murderous government will beworst in the cities, so many people will seek refugein the countryside, but police will soon enoughseek them out there too. Civil war will emerge as amore or less continuous series of military siegesand confrontations resembling the Ruby Ridge andWaco police massacres of 1992 and 1993, and itwill begin by 2004 or perhaps 2005 (it might not beobvious in the beginning what's actuallyhappening). As time goes on the civil war will

become more and more a continuous conflictbetween paranoid government forcesheadquartered in the cities, against perceived orimagined threats in the rural civilian population.The American government will wage war againstits own citizens, winning most of the battles, butthe battling will drag on for years. In the nuclearwar of 2015 our cities will be primary targets, sothe civil war will end then in favor of the ruralswhen the government and its domestic armies aredestroyed. In this way the nuclear war will be

regarded by the survivors as a good thing.SIGNIFICANCE: At the time of J ohn Titor's telling of hisstory via the Web and IRC (internet relay chat) in 2000and 2001, and even by the time of this document'scopyright in 2003, the prospect of civil war in Americaseems an outlandish prediction. Surely it is so farfetchedthat only a genuine time traveler or very good fortuneteller could forsee it at this time. If a civil war in Americadoes validate prediction 5, a reasonable person ought toconsider that Mr. Titor was not a fraud and that nuclearwar is very likely to occur in 2015. In that case it willremain possible (though still not probable) to preventnuclear war, but only if we are able to face the evidenceand respond appropriately so that things can be turnedaround from their present course. It's remotely possiblethat the hard cold proof provided by this document maysufficiently alter our worldline to prevent nuclear calamity,but it's more likely that only a modest number of


26/52

individuals will take heed of an early warning even in theface of its validation. Denial can allow people to believe inwhatever they want to believe in, and people who do notbecome aware of J ohn Titor's story until after civil warhas begun may quite rationally tend to disbelieve that this

information existed much sooner and not fabricated afterthe fact, unless they have some proof of it. The purposeof these predictions being copyrighted is to thereforeprovide one way to irrefutably prove that they did existbefore the predicted civil war in America: anyone can goto the Copyright Office and see for themselves.

Prediction 3 about multiple worlds is important to us fortwo reasons: first that we need not be concerned abouttrying to prevent calamity if we can (there would be noharm in changing our worldline for the better), and

secondly that some of the details about what Mr. Titorhas said could be off slightly because of divergencebetween his worldline and our own. For example it mightbe that nuclear war on our worldline won't occur until2016 even though Mr. Titor was quite exact about 2015.Or let's say if divergence between worldlines delayed thepredicted 2004-2005 civil war until 2006 or 2007 wewould certainly have to question the accuracy of the 2015date, and some might question if any of Mr. Titor'sinformation could be genuine if civil war is delayed a yearor two on our worldline. But he said it will grow gradually

and won't totally affect everbody until 2008, so maybe itwill take that long to convince some that the situation hasgrown irreversibly horrible. But we can expect to seethings happening soon that fit the criteria of civil war ifyou consider one siege or another like Waco going onpretty frequently, that's what he said, and that it will onlyget worse and worse until it is completely indisputable toeveryone by 2008. By then the conflict supposedly growsinto a real war, and afterward it continues mercilesslyuntil 2015. I think it is important to analyze Mr. Titor'sinformation more in terms of significant trends and eventsrather than splitting hairs over minutae as we evaluatewhat Mr. Titor had to say to us because it's the big thingsthat really matter and divergence would be expected tochange the timing or other characteristics of small things,but is less likely to affect big things. It's the big things wecare about anyway.

Titor was often deliberately cryptic, guarded, andprivate. He intimated that his family's safety andcontinuing liberty after his departure were majorconcerns to him, and predicting a police state isconsistent with such cautions. He apparently wanted tobe open but not so open that he'd be in the public eye,and it seems he succeeded. It means however thatsome things are not as crystal clear as we might likethem to be, and we sometimes have to read between

the lines a little bit in search of fuller understanding.Lack of crystal clarity opens the door to possiblemisinterpretation, which must be guarded against bymindfully keeping open to change while simultaneouslymaintaining a healthy skepticism.

own opinion and logic. They are not intended to beauthoritative, and may in fact be wrong, but for now theywork for me. Keep in mind that the truth or falsehood ofJ ohn Titor's story does not rest upon whether we allunderstand and agree upon minutae but on whether or

not the gist of his story is true: imminent civil warbeginning soon, escalating and dragging on until 2015,when nuclear war ends the civil war in favor of the ruralsand kills about half the world's population.

If Titor's miss ion was to retrieve an IBM 5100from 1975, why was he here and posting onthe Web in 2000?

From The Time Traveler IRC Logs14 October 2000

athttp://www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/irc.html:

TimeTravel_0 : Im here because of a promise tomy grandfather in 1975.

What was his promise? He doesn't say exactly.We do know his grandfather was one of thepeople who worked on the computer J ohn wastasked with returning to 2036, and it is likely thathis grandfather was able to perform the 'tweaks' it

needed for fullest use in 2036 (which exact'tweaks' aren't known however). At several pointsTitor alludes to the Y2K non-problem (which hewould have known from his history), so perhapshis grandfather became interested in the topicand determined to find a way to fix it. TOTALSPECULATION: The 'tweak' his grandfather didto the computer may have been to allow theconversion of dates from 32-bit (I think that'sright?) to 64- or 128-bit resolution which wouldallow for NEW AND BETTER CODE TO BEOUTPUT by the translation of one compiledlanguage into another. I'm unsure if the 5100computer could make source code too, but you'dthink it ought to be able to if it's capable oftranslating between languages, and if it couldtranslate to Basic, that is source code of one typeat least because it's uncompiled code that isevaluated at runtime.


29/52

Why did Titor need to get an antique IBM 5100(or in some places, a 5110), when he said theyhave much more powerful computers in 2036than we even have today? Why can't they justrewrite the code they need, on their more

powerful machines?

From The Time Traveler IRC Logs14 October 2000athttp://www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/irc.html:

TimeTravel_0 : I was sent back to 1975 to get acomputer.TimeTravel_0 : Its an IBM model 5110.

TimeTravel_0 : My grandfather worked on it.G : because...?TimeTravel_0 : Thats why I was sent.TimeTravel_0 : We need it in 2036 to recodeUNIX which dies in 2038.G : who needed a 5110? and why?G : lost me there. don't enough about computersTimeTravel_0 : the 5110 is able to read the oldIBM mainframe code.TimeTravel_0 : Its the first protable computerproduced by IBM.

TimeTravel_0 : Actually its about the size of asmall table.TimeTravel_0 : We need on in 2036.

Note: here Titor references a 5110, not the 5100like he does elsewhere. What's the difference? Isthis a crack in his story, or did he just get mixedup late one night?

Hello Lee,

I'll try to answer your question as best I can, butrealize I am not the author of the J ohn Titormaterial, I don't even know for sure if the story'strue or not, and the best I can do is try to conveymy mental picture of how his machine mightwork.

Have you ever seen any large wind tunnels like

the types that NASA operates at Ames ResearchCenter? There are two basic styles: in one type,air comes in one end and goes out the other, thetunnel is linear and open on both ends. Thoseare used for high-volume, relatively low flowrates. The other type is a closed loop in which theoperating gas is pumped around andrecirculated; in those the gas velocities can easilygo supersonic but of course the volume flow isless. Imagine if you will a closed loop type inwhich the return air cycle has been modified so

that instead of looping around off to one side ofthe working part of the wind tunnel, the return airflows back through a plenum which completelysurrounds the working area of the wind tunnel onall sides. In this way you'd have something like along donut of air moving one direction in thecenter and the opposite direction in the plenumsurrounding the central portion. It's not a very


31/52

practical design for a wind tunnel but it'ssomewhat how I imagine the distorted flow oftime around a vehicle containing a Titor-styledevice, as shown by Figures 3 and 4 athttp://johntitor.strategicbrains.com/TimeMachine.

cfm. The 'vertical safe distance' shown as #6 onthose diagrams might encompass a volume offairly uniform and linear gravity/time distortion sothat any occupants would not be pulled apart bytidal forces (or maybe it's not so even and thetidal forces are not all that great; you don't getpulled apart by 2g fields in other situations). That'vertical safe distance' of 6 meters (or 3 metersoff the centerline in all axial directions) would bethe 'hole in the extended donut' of myhypothetical wind tunnel, the working area in

which laminar flow was reasonably uniform anduseful. Outside that central area the flow of time,like the flow of return gas in my hypothetical windtunnel (though no plenum need separate timeflows) goes in the opposite direction and wouldbe represented in the Figures 3 and 4 as the #2isoline, the output of the 'negative time field'. Ihave a hard time wrapping my brain aroundthose diagrams sometimes but I think thoserepresentations are deliberately cut off forvisualization purposes by the egg-shaped outer

border, but that they actually would wrap aroundand meet each other again if the whole fieldeffects were drawn out. Sort of like iron filingscan be used to visualize the strongest field linesat the poles of a bar magnet without usuallywrapping all the way around to show the full outerextent of the magnetic fields. If you can imaginetwo bar magnets interacting to produce distortedfield lines that would in some places be morelinear than at other places, imagine somethinglike that going on with two microsingularitieshaving interacting field effects to produce aregion of more or less linear time distortion insidethe 'vertical safe distance'.

In the Figure 10 photo of the laser light bending, Iinterpret the effect shown as the laser outputbeing linear where it traverses the linear portionof the time distortion field inside the vehicle (the


32/52

inner portion of the 'donut' constituting probablythe major portion but not quite all of the 'verticalsafe distance') and then bending backward anddownward as it encounters the reverse-flowinggravity/time gradient outside the vehicle. It does

not appear to me that the light is bending insidethe vehicle at all, nor is there any evidence ofdistortion of the vehicle's door. If the vertical safedistance has a radius of three meters and thelaser pen is held more or less in the center of thevehicle about half that distance from the vehicle'sdoor, then we would be looking at the bending ofgravity/time as the light outside the vehicleapproaches and then meets the edge of the'vertical safe distance' (which edge is probablynot a hard plane but a somewhat fuzzy volume

where effects range from potentially hazardous tolethal).

Titor said that the g-field experienced duringoperation of the unit was about 2 g's, if Iremember correctly. That is certainly tolerablephysiologically for extended periods. He also saidthat the purpose of having a second singularitywas to 'steer' the vehicle (see #2, the 'steeringsingularity' in Figure 6) by keeping it on theearth's surface while traversing time, because

otherwise the vehicle could wind up in spacesomewhere far from the earth if it stayed where itwas in space while traveling back in time. Theexact vector of time distortion desired wouldtherefore be dependent upon the position of theearth where the vehicle was being operated,relative to the orbital motion of the earth aroundthe Sun and the movement of the Sun in thegalaxy, maybe even the motion of the galaxythrough the cosmos, though some of thosemovements would be expected to remainessentially constant. So the direction of the laserbeam in the photo shown, which is initially linearand then bends backward and down, would (inmy opinion) not necessarily always have adownward component at a constant angle like theone shown but might vary in its downward angleor even go upward in some circumstances. Anyangle off the fore-aft line of the vehicle might


33/52

therefore represent the effect of the 'steeringsingularity' needed to keep the vehicle on earth'ssurface while traversing time. It is also possiblethat a time traversal results in an increasedapparent force of gravity because that force gets

compressed into a smaller time span, and thismight actually limit the rate at which time may bemoved through (I think J ohn Titor said his ratewas about ten years per hour). The resultantangle of an output laser as shown in Figure 10may therefore also be influenced in part by anapparently intensified (to the observer ridinginside the vehicle) g-field of the earth, although Idoubt that 2 g's could have any visible effect; it isprobably almost all due to the effect of thesteering singularity. Think of it as the return flow

of the high-pressure gas in my hypothetical donutwind tunnel's plenum not being exactly parallel tothe motion of the opposite laminar flow in thecenter portion.

That's how I view it, anyway. Yes that photocould have been easily faked in Photoshop,without a doubt. The technical drawings andother photographs could also have been faked,some more easily than others. But it seems to methat it has to be pretty damn hard to fake a

working design for a time machine. Nobody elsehas ever come up with such a potentiallypractical design except for Tipler proposingmassive cylinders weighing millions or billions ofsolar masses spinning in space at billions ortrillions of rpm, with a high-performancespaceship to approach them at certain angles.This design is something unique and worthconsidering, especially since many physicistsfully expect to see microsingularites beingproduced at CERN's Large Hadron Collider whenit comes online in 2007.

If you read his posts carefully, he mentions in2000/2001 that CERN is going to make somediscoveries in about a year. Well, it has beenover 3 years, and the most I've heard from CERNis that they're probably going to have the LHC up

and running by 2007, but nobody to date hasdiscovered any blackholes in any particleaccelerators.

This plus all the copyrights associated with this"J ohn Titor Foundation", lead me to believe thewhole thing is a hoax, albeit a clever one.

My Reply:The year when Titor said microsingularities willget created is certainly a discrepancy, no doubt

about that. Several possibilities exist:

1) Microsingularities may indeed be gettingcreated in very rare events at some acceleratorsbut people haven't figured out what they are yetbecause they are so rare.

2) Microsingularities may be getting createdalready but it'e entirely possible they're beingkept secret for any of a variety of reasons.

3) Titor's history may have been vague enoughthat he wasn't exactly certain when they first gotmade, or he thought he was certain but hishistory was wrong. This kind of thing happens allthe time actually.

4) It's a cheap shot but 'divergence' betweenworldlines might explain the discrepancy. If sothat puts his other dates on very shaky footing.

This topic was among the first things I

researched when I first learned of Titor's story. Iemailed CERN's public relations department toask them when the LHC would come online andthey told me 2007. If Titor was a fraud hecertainly could have just as easily determinedthat 2007 date as I did, and you'd think he wouldhave gone to the trouble to do so given all thetime and energy it would have taken to create all


35/52

the documents and photos and a model of thetime machine, etc. So in that way this apparentdiscrepancy seems much more likely to arisefrom our missing a key piece of information ratherthan it being a clear invalidation of Titor's story.

What do you think about the "John TitorFoundation"?

In my opinion the J ohn Titor Foundation is simplyone or more opportunists trying to capitalize onTitor's popularity for short-term financial gain (seeImposters and Frauds). Their low-quality outputso far supports that opinion but I am concernedthat they may be trying to co-opt the story inorder to discredit it entirely. J ust because there

are obviously other hoaxsters trying to ride thecoattails of J ohn Titor's story doesn't mean thatTitor himself was a fraud. He did come up with aplausible design for a time travel machine, andwhether he simply relayed the information aboutit to us or invented the thing himself, there's nodenying that it originated with Titor as far as weare concerned and that it is a masterfulconception far beyond the range of ordinaryhoaxsters like the J ohn Titor Foundation.

How could anyone go through a black hole?In order to have created the time machine,they would have had to test it fi rst, and NOscientist, NO government, NO LIVING BEINGwould ever allow testing to be doneconcerning going through man-made blackholes, or even natural ones. Black holes don' tsend things back in t ime, they destroythem...they rip apart every indiv idual atomand particle; they destroy matter.

In Titor's description of the development of a timemachine, he said the researchers didn't realize atfirst that they had to take the earth's motionthrough space into account, so the roboticprototypes they built for testing purposes woulddisappear and not return as expected. Eventuallythey realized that their prototype time machineswere reappearing miles away and several


36/52

thousand feet in the air, and that a second'steering singularity' was needed to keep thedevices in place on the surface of the earth whilealso moving in time. So the first tests wereaccomplished robotically until (presumably)

enough confidence was gained to start usinghuman volunteers. Titor didn't describe thehuman testing part of the process so we don'tknow if there were any fatalities or 'lost' timetravelers, but those would certainly bepossibilities. However, as described by Titor thedevices don't work by actually sending anyoneINTO a black hole, instead the microsingularitiesare used to create a local distortion of gravity andtime that enables time travel. If you look at thefield diagrams (Figs. 3 and 4) on the time

machine page you'll see that the field effectsextend well outside the microsingularities, andthe 'vertical safe distance' includes the regionenclosing a vehicle containing the time machine.

The universe, in all of it 's random chaos, isperfect and infallible...no matter what youbelieve, but especially if you believe in One

Almighty God....therefore, nature, theuniverse, God, whatever, would not allowthere to be a loophole in which a person

could prevent their own creation....it's not amatter of law...we could brainwash a personand make them completely incapable ofcommitting a crime, especially murder, butonce they are in the past, there is thepossibili ty that he could cause the death ofhis mother, or grandfather, or any number ofpeople that would assist in his being born.

Titor specificaly addressed this issue, it is calledthe 'grandfather paradox': if you went back in timeand caused the death of your grandfather, thenyou would never be born, thus never able to takethe trip back to cause the death of yourgrandfather. This idea is an old one based on thesupposition that there is only one worldline thatone might be able to move back and forth along.But Titor said the multiple universe theory is true,that there are an infinity of possible universes in


37/52

which everything possible happens somewhere,and by going back in time you alter the worldlineyou land in, thus spinning off an entirely newuniverse. Therefore any changes you make in thenew universe you're in do not affect any of the

other possible universes, in particular youroriginal worldline is not affected, so the'grandfather paradox' is a fallacy based onmisunderstanding the true nature of reality.

There is no s ign of a civil war yet, let alonethe type Titor described.

True, there is no civil war yet. But why would youexpect to see it happening before Titor said itwould begin? We are seeing however what

appears to many people (not just those whoknow about Titor) the early development of apolice state, particularly in some of the worstprovisions of the Patriot Act.

If Titor he were trusted enough to travel intothe past, wouldn't he be knowledgableenough to know the exact date of the CivilWar, not just "2004 or 2005"?

Titor mentioned at different times both those

years, 2004 and 2005, as being the time whencivil war would begin. I also was not clear on thisissue at the time of writing the Copyright Proof,which contains that uncertainty. However, later Idid read where Titor was asked to resolve thatdiscrepancy. He said he had made a mistake andhit the wrong key, that he meant 2004,specifically the end of the year around electiontime. He also indicated that it would begin slowlyand gradually escalate, that it would take a fewyears for it to be perfectly obvious to everyonethat's what was occurring. If Titor was right, wecan presumably expect a great deal of debatetoward the end of 2004 and into 2005 and even2006 as to whether the events of the day reallyreflect the development of a police state and civilwar.

If Titor was contacting people from the past,


38/52

telling them he's from the future, and givinginformation about the future, wouldn't thatbreak laws that would defini tely be in place iftime travel were possible?

Titor explained that because the multipleuniverse theory is true, nothing he did in ourworldline could affect his own, and that he wasnot constrained from telling people about himself.He did say however that if he committed murderon our worldline and admitted to it upon hisreturn, that he would be appropriately heldaccountable.

If Titor was from only 34 years in the future,surely he'd be alive by now, if only a baby.

Wouldn't we be able to find a John Titor, andsee if his grandfather worked wi th IBM?.

Nobody assumes that "Titor" was his real lastname, and it may have simply been shorthand for"time traveler". Titor said that while he was hereon our worldline he was living with his parentsand his young self, born in 1998. Titor alsoindicated that he wished to protect his family fromexposure after he was gone, so it is very unlikelythat he would have used his real last name. Also

for this reason of protection it is also very unlikelythat his parents would expose themselves nowafter his departure, thus the "J ohn TitorFoundation" which makes the claim of beingaffiliated with Titor's mother is almost certainlyfraudulent; see Imposters and Frauds.

Why would they need an antique IBM 5100computer in 2036? Couldn' t they justreprogram anything they needed to? Af ter all,they should have much better computers bythen.

Titor's primary mission was to return to 1975 toretrieve an IBM 5100. He said he was chosen forthe mission because his grandfather was on itsIBM development team. His grandfather was ableto 'tweak' one to make it more useful in 2036, butTitor didn't specifically say what the 'tweak' was.


39/52

Since the reason Titor claimed to need it in thefirst place was because of the 2038 timeout error(which is known about today, and true, your PCwill not work right after that time), chances aregood that the 'tweak' involved fixing this problem.

Since the primary usefulness of the 5100 whichother computers apparently don't share is itsability to translate between programminglanguages, the most likely 'tweak' would be toincrease the address space of the datefunctionality so that existing code could be re-translated by the machine into functioning codethat will continue to process dates after 2038.People don't always realize that many programscan be millions of lines long in their source code,and then when that source code is compiled into

machine code that actually runs on a computerthe compiled code can't be worked on easily atall, it can be nearly impossible to do so. So let'ssay in the future there's some complex antiquecode running Hoover Dam (just for example, if itdoesn't get destroyed), or a major electrical grid,or NORAD, that the people of 2036 need andwant to keep functioning, and further assume thesource code has been lost. They could puttogether a team of hundreds of their mostintelligent people, teach them an obsolete

computer language, and get them allprogramming like mad for several years to try toduplicate the original code -- and then pray that itall works without some bug causing a disaster --or else they use one of the time machines they'verecently developed to go back to 1975 andretrieve a 5100, have it 'tweaked' to solve thetimeout error, and use it to regenerate functioningcode that will solve their problem. Seems a no-brainer to me in a society in which everyavailable person is needed to help keep societyafloat.

Why did Titor say he had to go back to 1975first to get back home to 2036?

The first time he apparently went straight therefrom 2036, contacted his grandfather, andobtained the 5100 computer with its 'tweaks'. For


40/52

reasons that he said were personal and involveda promise to his grandfather, he traveled forwardto our time in 2000. Speculation about Titor'sreasons include the possibilities that he mayhave made a deal of some sort with his

grandfather to win his cooperation, such asreporting back to him what actually happenedwith the Y2K problem. There has been somespeculation that the Y2K problem never didmaterialize as a significant event because ofsome change that Titor's grandfather may havemade in our worldline after Titor did return to him.It is also possible that Titor's grandfather wantedhim to come to our time to warn his children(Titor's mother or father) about the impendingcatastrophes of civil war and nuclear war, so that

they would have time to prepare and savethemselves. These are only possibilities andneither may be right, they are just speculativeexamples. However, Titor explained that it wasthen necessary for him to return to 1975 on hisway back to 2036 in order to minimize the'divergence' between worldlines, basically so thathe could return home to a place that actually feltlike home. Even though he said he could neverreturn to the exact same worldline he left (and heindicated that time travelers like himself were

psychologically screened for that), by retracinghis steps it was possible to keep divergence sominor that it would be negligible. If he had simplygone forward from our time to 2036 he mighthave both violated his promise to his grandfatherand gone home to a world that was noticeablydifferent than the one he left.

If the Titorstory is true, far smarter is nonviolent protestagainst those who would create an Americanpolice state, to "wake up" Americans to bring

about needed changes, thereby changing ourworldline for the better. Even if the Titor timetravel event was real, our worldline does nothave to be Titor's worldline. Titor himself saidfree will is the governing factor that makesworldlines diverge. Please see A Way Out formore details.

Introduction

The idea of time travel has captured the imagination of

writers and filmmakers for generations, and hasbecome a household word as much as any sciencefiction concept. Many popular books and movies arestill today being spawned based on the idea of timetravel. In recent years the idea of time travel beingactually possible has been supported by interestingtheories developed by well numerous known physicistsin the world today. The theoretical physics and


42/52

conditions required to allow time travel into the past orfuture have enough foundation and basis to prompteven the conservative scientists to consider it remotelypossible, even if highly unlikely.

In recent years, the advent of a slew of highly popularscience fiction movies built around the idea of timetravel have made the concept something every childcan understand. In Scientific American, CassandraKelly (Oct 99) stated Perhaps the biggest surprise ofthe work of the past decade is that it is not obvious thatthe laws of physics forbid time travel, and in the sameissue, J ohn L. Friedman of the physics department atthe University of Wisconsin said There are solutions tothe equations of general relativity in which particlescan travel in paths that take them back to earlier times.

A recent surprise is that one can circumvent thegrandfather paradox.

As a result of both common popularization of the ideaof time travel and some physicists considering itpossible, the idea of time travel is not so far fetched asit used to be, and it has joined the mythos of UFOs andextraterrestrials as an idea that is believed possible bya large percentage of the public. The consequence ofthis, as occurred in the UFO field, is the opportunity toexploit this interest and belief by con artist charlatans

and new age cults.

Since the advent of the public internet in 1995 and longbefore the tragic events of 9/11/2001 there has been amassive rash of conspiracy theories and cults focusingon the idea that somehow almost any terrorist eventwas engineered not by foreigners but by power crazyelements within our own country and government.These notions have galvanized further theradicalization of beliefs amongst many parties, groups,sects and cults in the US. Numerous approaches havebeen devised by anti-government parties in militia orcult settings to inculcate doubt amongst the Americanpopulace as to the trustworthiness of the federalgovernment.

It is assumed on a de facto basis that the so-calledJ ohn Titor time travel hoax of 2000 and early 2001 is ahoax. However, this hoax has been designed to be


43/52

very difficult to debunk in objective terms, precisely forthe lack of any objective material evidence beingofferred. The J ohn Titor time travel hoax wasdeveloped by a fairly smart individual or group wishingto use the very popular time travel mythos as a means

to provide deadly warnings about a future civil war inthe US in the coming years, along similar lines to fearsabout runaway federal power, so called New WorldOrder, and so forth.

Given the gullibility of many Americans to believewhatever they are told, especially if it conforms to theirpre-existing negative expectations about the future, theJ ohn Titor time traveler story has the potential tobecome an additional rallying point for anti-governmentradical movements. This is very much the same as

prophecies of Nostradamus, the Fatima prophecies,and other predictive sources such as remote viewingor new age channeling where descriptions of ourdoom coming in the future are used to reinforcenegative beliefs of radical anti-US government groups.

Since 9/11 however the stakes have changed. The USis at war against international terrorism on a scale asnever before. The fervor of anti-government elementshas not subsided but has taken a lower profile as theUS responds to securing the country through the

establishment of new laws that permit the investigationand interception of terrorist activities in the US. Manypeople fear the federal government will use the newlaws (Patriot Act) established to better fightinternational terrorism to fight domestic home grownterrorism by radical militia, environmentalists, animalrights activists, religious cults and so forth. In thisenvironment of increasing distrust and fear of potentialabuses by US federal government, combined with thewar on international terrorism, the definition ofpatriotism and loyalty to our country is becoming a warof clichs.

The so called Patriot movement is a point in case.What is considered patriotic nowadays varies wildlydepending on who you ask, and has become eroded tothe point where there are two diametrically opposednotions gaining more and more momentum. What isdefined as terrorism or terrorist acts is feared to be


44/52

undergoing a similar erosion.

Basic Assumptions for Purposes of Argument

This analysis assumes the reader is already familiar

with the entirety of the supposed J ohn Titor timetraveler associated material, including all his knowntext posts and uploaded pictures, which can be foundor referenced on several websites, includinganomalies.com, timetravelinstitute.com, johntitor.com,godlikeproductions.com and elsewhere

The following also assumes the reader is willing, forpurposes of argument, to consider ad hoc the idea ofmultiple worlds theory, and the idea of differentworldlines and a multiverse and that free will is a

crucial part of cause and effect that makes oneworldline different from another. The multiple worldsnotion can be found in well known physics theory byJ ohn Wheeler, for example.

Parties who already have for themselves successfullydismissed the Titor story as a hoax may read thisanalysis as yet another attempt to provide legitimacy tothe urban legend. As such, it is possible this analysisshould not become public information because it mayadd fuel to the fire amongst existing or potential radical

elements in our society. However in the interest ofhelping people understanding the serious gravity andpossible consequences of their choice to believe in theJ ohn Titor story as a bona fide real time travel contactevent, this is being uploaded to various sites.

Avert ing the John Titor US Civ il War Threat

The Titor material in terms of the time travel physicstechnology aspects cannot be evaluated conclusively.There may exist strong pro and counter-argument

around the plausibility of the time travel physics, but forlack of the average persons ability to understand andappreciate and be swayed by those arguments, theTitor story could still continue to develop momentum ina sociological context. This momentum couldmaterially undermine our national and homelandsecurity by providing radical domestic elements in ournation reasons to prepare and even engage in violent


45/52

action to attempt to overthrow the government of theUnited States, a mission that is identical to that of theavowed goals of international terrorist networks, nowgenerally known as Al Qaida.

For implication analysis purposes here, lets assume fora spell that the Titor time travel technology and contactevent was NOT a hoax. In this seat-of-the-pantshypothetical analysis, it is allowed that Titor was alegitimate time travel contact event into our worldline.However it is NOT to be allowed that the Titor comingcivil war prediction will become real in our worldline. Itis posed that the negative prediction aspect of the Titormaterial must be repudiated and countered even if thetime travel event actually did occur. J ohn Titor himselfstated that he allowed for the possibility we might NOT

have a US civil war in our future, however he thought itwas very probable there would be a civil war in theUnited States, and that it was unlikely we could doanything to stop it from developing.

We can hypothetically assume the Time-like travelevent really did occur, BUT the Titor civil war predictionwill NOT happen for our worldline for ANY of thefollowing reasons:

1. Titor may have already sufficiently influenced our

worldline with regards to Y2K warning he gave to hisgrandfather in 1975 thereby causing the Y2K crashNOT to happen in OUR worldline like it did in HISworldline. If this indeed occurred as he appeared tointimate, then the degree of rural-versus-urban politicalpolarization conditions in the US were not at the sameextreme that it was for the Titor worldline future. Thisstill assumes 9/11 would happen in both worldlines,and the only major difference is infrastructurebreakdowns due to Y2K never happened in ourworldline.

2. We may have the opportunity to alter the future ofour own worldline so that the Titor civil war predictionis moot. Anyone who reads and believes the Titormaterial has a responsibility to act to avert that futureprediction from occurring. That action must take theform of participating in defusing the possiblepolarization that Titor speaks about. There are many


46/52

ways to do this. 9/11, PA1 & 2 and VA alone do notassure a Titor civil war future. Neither does furtherattacks by international terrorist in the US.

3. Titor himself on several occasions said that there

was a good 2.5 percent deviation in our worldlinerelative to his own worldline origin. That is a differencethat is large enough to keep expanding on, especially ifwe act responsibly and legally and with civility toinfluence both the government and the alienatedfactions of US citizens to find common ground thatdefuses any growing polarization. We can stop moreWaco like events from occurring, and we can lessenthe probability of serious domestic rural vs, federalconflict. Titor said he felt there was a chance that wemight not have his worldlines civil war future but he

thought it was not probable we would avoid it. Thattells me that we have been given the opportunity torespond with our free will to avert that negativeprediction. To give up and believe we cannot changethe Titor endgame is tantamount to relinquishing ourfree will, and saying we cannot make a difference. TheTitor material in this way takes away peoples freedomas much if not more than any indiscretions of the PA1,PA2 or VA that may be passed.

We are in a time where because we are at war with

international terrorism we must be willing to makesome sacrifices. Maybe PA1 and PA2 and VA will hurtthe foundations of freedom in the republic in theinterim, but that we can trust in the conscience ofAmericans and the elected government to roll back thisloss of freedoms as the war on terrorism is slowly wonover the long term. If that takes a generation, it couldstill be worth it in the scope of the whole history andfuture of the USA. It is asserted we must pull in ourstomachs, and be loyal to our government, even withall its inherent problems, and trust the Americanpolitical process, the courts, the congress, and theexecutive branch to eventually course-correct awayfrom any domestic abuses of these acts over time.

The Dangers of Believing and Acting on the TitorCivil War Predictions

The Titor material only underscores the importance of


47/52

people evangelizing the need for national unity, andevangelizing the need for highly alienated citizens inAmerica to not become labeled terrorists or terroristsympathizers themselves. Anyone who believes in theTitor material, and more importantly, the Titor

predictions for US civil war in our future, is by definitionpossibly aiding and abetting the interests ofinternational terrorists who wish to bring our nationdown. If people start to plan for that future on the sideof the anti-government types, that in my mind may wellengage in material conspiracy against the nationalsecurity of the United States.

This alone is sufficient cause to do everything humanlypossible to debunk and foil the Titor material frombecoming influential amongst already anti-government

predisposed US citizens. This alone is sufficient causeto do everything to avert and defuse the Titorpredictions from coming true in our worldline future ifthere indeed is any probability they could occur.

Many argue that we are heading in the direction of thehorrific Titor civil war future, and use (a) planneddiscoveries by CERN regarding creating microscopicblack holes (making time travel more possible inaccord to the Titor time travel machine descriptionsand his posted explanations), and (b) the advent of

9/11 and (c) the Patriot Act and (d) its expectedenhancements, and (e) conspiracy theories about 9/11being an inside job by rogue US governmentelements, as supposed evidence that we are on adirect collision course for the Titor predicted comingten year US civil war from 2004 to 2014. From thiscollection of so-called evidence some people are readyto become radicalized and prepare to change theirlives into being survivalists living an anti-governmentrural lifestyle.

One feature of the Titor story that helps this radicalizedconclusion is Titors statements that the rural anti-government factions won the coming civil war againstthe so called American Federal Empire with the help ofthe Russians who will nuke the US cities in 2015.

I assert that alienated citizens in the USA (survivalists,radical militia, religious cults, violent environmentalists,


48/52

etc) could use the Titor material as a rallying point toexpand their anti-government views and activities, andthat this is extremely dangerous to our country and itsnational security. It undermines the goals of thedepartment of Homeland security.

In time, with the lack of adequate debunking, andcontinued popularization of the story, the Titor materialcould develop Turner Diaries type mythical status, andprovide a rallying point for anti-US government beliefsand violent activism. On this basis the Titor materialand story must be stopped from gaining legitimacy.The moment people give up and want to prepare forthe Titor US civil war prediction, they have, bydefinition, joined the ranks of domestic terrorists.People do not have to join radical anti-government

militia or violent environmentalists such as the ELF(Environmental Liberation Front), or end of worldreligious cults for this label to be applied to them. Allthey have to do is start preparing for some prospectivecivil war in the US, and they have become, bydefinition, the enemy of the United States, as much asInternational terrorists already are.

The best thing you can do for your children is to protectthem from the Titor future by exercising your free will tohelp defuse the power of the Titor predictions and

story. You are playing with fire when you start toprepare for such a negative future scenario. Youbecome the enemy of the US Government bydefinition.

Probable Counter Intelligence Response Scenarios

Assume, for a moment, that some leaders of ournational intelligence infrastructure along with someesteemed top secret clearance scientists came to thefrightening conclusion that the Titor time travelincursion into our worldline actually occurred. Theyalso conclude that the Titor predictions might helpignite and assure the Titor negative future occurring forus more than if the Titor material never happened,precisely because his predictions help fortify negativebeliefs about the government and about the future andabout our inability to change things.


49/52

What would these very concerned authorities do aboutit? I would suggest courses of action to limit if notreverse the damage this time travel incursion eventmay have on our worldline free will are in order. Iwould set up a domestic operational mitigation

response using a two pronged approach coming fromsupposedly different quarters, seemingly unrelated andindependent of each other:

Operational Prong 1:

(Directed to all those who are undecided about theTitor material):

Doing the best to prove the whole Titor Time Travelevent and materials is a sophisticated hoax, by:

a. Debunking the supposed physics (and philosophy)of time travel as put forth by Titor, including debunkingthe machine and manual pictures as a sophisticatedagitprop info packet. Get several top esteemed publiclyknown physicists to provide powerful counter-arguments (even if faked counter-arguments). Provethat everything Titor said was already known and anydedicated hoaxer with anti-government leanings couldhave assembled this material and played a timetraveler from the future.

b. Debunking the Titor mission to retrieve an IBM 5100

c. Debunking the Titor character, the lack of slang, thelack of specific dated predictions, the lack of answeringquestions that were legitimate, the lack of any hardevidence left behind, the lack of any in-personwitnesses. Identify inconsistencies, contradictions,similarity to writer novella standard form, and anythingelse that can impeach its face value supposedveracity.

Operational Prong 2:

(Directed to all those who believe the Titor Time Travelevents occurred):

Doing the best to prove that we can change theworldline future away from the prospective predicted


50/52

negative future of US civil war, by:

a. Debunking the idea that our future will be the Titorfuture by emphasizing human free will, naturaldivergence of worldliness, the ability of the few to

influence the many, using aspects about our havingfree will and the idea of the multiverse in the Titormaterial to help inoculate our worldline from creating orallowing that future to evolve.

b. Promoting the philosophy of national loyalty beingmore required than ever given we are in a time of warwith international terrorism. Make it very clear thatanyone who believes the Titor material is in effect adupe of sophisticated agitation propaganda devised byanti-government elements or even international

terrorist elements. From the international Al Qaidaterrorists point of view the enemy of my enemy is myfriend, and so being anti-government in any extremeright now is helping Al Qaida hurt the US.

c. Covertly identify, profile, track, infiltrate and ifnecessary entrap any party or group who becomepowerful Titor negative future prediction advocates fortheir possible role in becoming sympathizers tointernational terrorists, seditious or anti-governmentactivity or anti-government conspiracy that could aid

and abet international terrorism against the US. Thesemeasures could increase the chances to defuse theanti-US activities that certain people may engage thatwould knowingly or even unwittingly threaten ourhomeland security.

Preliminary Conclusions

It is submitted that the Titor Material is one moresource of agitation propaganda that can potentiallyundermine patriotism and loyalty to the US

Government, and fuel anti-government sentiments ofpre-existing radicals that would believe in the Titorstory.

Whether the Titor time travel contact event was real ora hoax that is difficult to disprove, the results can bethe same anti-government activism that couldbecome violent in nature is supported by the Titor


51/52

coming US civil war predictions.

Due to the Titor prediction that the rural side wins thecivil conflict against the so-called American FederalEmpire (AFE) due to help from a Russian nuclear

strike on major cities in the US, some believersautomatically assume in order to survive, they shouldleave the cities and learn to survive independent ofsocial infrastructures, and that they should even takeup arms to defend themselves against the AFE. Inessence, they join the anti-government groups orparties or so called developing forces in a materialconspiracy to eventually overthrow the USGovernment. They become, by definition domesticterrorists, and sympathizers with the goals ofinternational terrorism as conducted by Al Qaida,

whether they like it or not.

It is suggested that a viable course of action to defuseand dilute the potency of the Titor Material is to engagein earnest and effective debunking of any advocates ofthe Titor predictions of US civil war. It is alsosuggested that people be warned of the grave dangerof believing in the Titor US civil war predictions. Toachieve these goals, both overt and covert counterintelligence action may be called for.

International terrorism may help embolden domesticterrorism. It is the duty of the philosophical, religious,scientific and intelligence communities to carefully actto stop the Titor Material prediction of coming civil warin the US in its tracks in any way possible. Theconsequences of not doing so could in effect, howeversubtle, encourage the birth of yet another anti-government radical movement in the US, not tomention reinforce existing radicals in their beliefs andwillingness to engage in violent domestic terrorismactivity.
