a soviet strike might have been probable during the cold war, but those times are over.

The biggest threat are the arab nations right now....so mr. john tutor is way off.

It's just a hoax. I like the pictures of his machine though and the blueprints, those were very intriguing, but still...........

I just read all the JT stuff for the first time. No one here can say it was a hoax or not a hoax. If we take what this person said as fact we are left with the fact that this world line can be off quite a bit from his world line. So his predictions if he had really made any wouldn't neccesarily be accurate. He deviated from his time line twice by his own reconning. That could make any of the big predictions not happen at all. Heck he claims he stopped the Y2K problems by doing something back in 1975. Thats gotta change things a bunch. The only thing he did say was that the time lines over time correct themselves from changes made by travelers. That would suggest that perhaps his timing of events might be skewed but the actual events might not be. All that said, I think it was a wonderful science fiction story.

Makes you wonder though about all the trouble we are in for and the fact that he mentions the US government holding people indefinatlely without a hearing (He wrote that before 9/11.) He also made reference to people not standing for the government taking away rights to provide security. Interesting in light of the announcement that Motherland Security forces are looking into how to legally call of the election in case of an attack.

I think the whole John Titor thing is real. I don't know why. It's gotten to my head. I just spent about 5 hours searching on it. I don't know why I believe it. Ususally, something like this, I would just laugh at and look on, but something tells me this is real. This has gotten me fascinated with Time Traveling all together. But that's just me. You don't have to agree with me.
