Wow, who dug this up?
John Titor stated that the war would "start" in 2004, but probably possibly wouldnt be noticed until as late as 2008. It is quite possible when you think about it.
Actually, it (World War III) started in 2001 (Sept 11th to be precise)... We just haven't officially named it yet.
A civil war in America is pretty ridiculous though... First thing that'd happen is shutting down the internet and phone system, which would destroy any rebels organizing. Those that managed to do so anyways, would then be facing an army with satellites capable of reading license plates, thermal imaging, etc. Not to mention tanks, air support....etc. Ridiculous.
The only way is if there was a major schism in the military, but even then, with the established chain of command in the modern military, it's naive to think that any factioning would/could take place in an organized manner, if even at all.

John Titor ripped off many ideas from Alas, Babylon (Pat Frank, 1959). His story mimics that book to much for me to take him Seriously.

Unless 2/3rds of the US Army just disappears, any "civil war" would be extremely one sided (if the war is against the US government).

Not talking about the validity of John Titor, but the possible development of a Civil War in the US.
Haven't seen you for a bit Shadow, take a vaca?

About a civil war it might be possible, but I think a revolution would be more likely than a civil war. A people vs the goverment thing rather then americans vs other americans.

I would hope most people in the goverment (military) would side with the american people in such a event. If not we really wouldnt stand much of a chance.
Like in Titor's story with the shotgun militia that would just be crazy against a military enemy might as well use a pee-shooter. If the military has future warrior armour even most assault rifles wouldnt do any good.

His idea of the 'shotgun militia' if he was truly talking about a militia using shotguns as the common service rifle is a hole in the story. Then again pro-Titor types could argue that his worldline defines shotguns differently, or it's a turn-of-phrase, or whatever. They didn't address this in any posts I saw.

As a result of the many conflicts, no, there were no official Olympics after 2004. However, it appears they may be revived in in 2040.
only one way of finding out....
some of me wants to believe john titor, i also think many websites have grotesquely corrupted and misconstrued his predictions, thank you ktpr for presenting authentic evidence

What I found very interesting about John Titors claim of GE constructing a time machine with some form of gravity distortion device, is the fact that a physicist, Henry William Wallace, of GE, did do experiments in 1960's to the mid 1970's, and invented a machine/device to measure and generate a gravitomagnetic field, with time varying properties. Wallace also has a patent for this device. More here: www.eskimo.com...
We do not have very long to find out, and when we do find out, we probably won't even care

I just wanted to add that the whole worldline concept as Titor described it seems really fishy. It's almost like a hook to make sure that if some of his predictions are off then people can fall back on the fact that our "worldline" is slightly different from his so people can keep his prophecy going.
Of course, the brilliant part about it is that from a theoretical point of view, if time travel were possible then there's a good chance that this is how it would work. It would certainly explain getting around those odd paradoxes involved with going back in time and killing yourself or your parents before you were conceived. It's just one more universe you've changed from an infinite number with infinite possibilities of existence, so why should you care. However, by that same logic, when you attempt to go back to your point of origin you're not really going to end up back in the exact universe/worldline you left either, so the people John left behind when he went on his mission aren't going to get their 5100...

nah, a 2nd American civil war is ridiculous. the only possible "civil war" in America I can think of in the future will be when some of us who are actually in the know about the Cabal actually try to fight off the New World Orderlies when they try to create an NWO. But other than that I don't see a 2nd American civil war possible. And a fight against the system isn't necessarily an "American" war, just a revolution or something. I mean, this guy claimed some absurd claims on his site about the future like saying that we'd somehow advance and get peaceful and that there'd be no new world order when we all know that the Cabal/Illuminati has been planning this and they're putting out all the stops to make it succeed.
9/11 coverup, war in Iraq, tighter security, big brother, 'terrorist' attacks with no proof that terrorists actually committed them, etc. And if you haven't noticed, a lot more people in power are using the term NWO ever since George H.W. Bush infamously said it before the Gulf War about 5 times in diff. speeches.
the CFR confirmed on C-SPAN that the NWO is what Bush was after. everyone in the know about the Bushes knows about the Bush-bin laden connection and how they funded osama and the CIA got saddam in power and the gov't gave him weapons of mass destruction. they probably hid the weapons before the weapons inspectors got there early this year. George H.W. Bush was part of the Franklin cover-up of 1993 which was only in the washington post but no one seemed to notice it b/c they were probably too ignorant and brainwashed by gov't propaganda to believe it's true. I don't believe this John Titor guy one bit. If he's a time traveler from the future, why aren't there more coming?? am I supposed to believe this guy is the only one of the public besides the gov't who has the knowledge to create a time machine that supposedly can only go 60 years before or after the current time you're in?? come on, that's bs. someone will prove he's a fraud and I hope it's soon.
