Why hasn't he named specific people, places, or events, other than his future war? AND with time travel capability, why not just jump back in time,
erase certian things (or people), and ensure the safety of the world?
Because, he had said that naming a person might help them avoid death by probability, and he didn’t want that to happen now did he? I think he said
something about it going against his morals. He couldn’t erase certain things or people from the past, because it wouldn’t help HIS future. He
explained that there were different world lines, each different from the other, except ours was VERY similar to his. That was one of the fail safes of
his story, even if none of the stuff like a civil war or nuke fight in 2015 comes true, there will always be someone saying “well he had said that
even his presence being here, he could have changed our future.”
How was Titor able to obtain any type of valid ID, or housing for that matter, coming from a time in which he isn't even born yet? Forgeries?
How is he able to exist and go about a normal everday life without having any means to survive?
He explained that he was staying with his parents from the NOW, and even saw his own 3 (can’t remember the exact age) year old version of himself. His
mother had grown a garden just for him because Titor didn’t trust the food from our time. They provided him with a computer and I’m pretty sure an
internet connection as well, he also said once or twice that he had someone keeping his IP all nice and safe, (masked and whatnot.)
Let me just say this last thing... in order for this ATS member to even consider Titor the real thing, he needs to give specific dates.
He also said that he wasn’t looking for belief, merely making what he knew public for the consideration of others, and looking for conversation. He
didn’t want people just to blindly except what he was saying, but to research it for themselves. He ALSO said that he didn’t remember the outcome of
specific games or specific dates… I think he put it in these words once or twice:
“Would you remember if someone asked you if it rained on a specific day and time way back in 1932?”
Not his exact words, but pretty close I think… I’ll have to check later. I don’t believe anything of what Titor said, I merely took it into
consideration and researched a little bit, though only “time” will tell if he was a phony feeding anyone who’d listen BS or a straight-up authentic
“time” traveler.
