Earth changes and 2012 prophecies

Jon Titor caused a lot of controversy on the Internet when he began posting some years ago - He says he is a time traveller from 2036 - here below is what he says 2036 is like - the full messages can be viewed at : http://www.johntitor.com/

JOHN'S WORLD IN 2036
The following posts are isolated to questions and comments about John's
worldline in 2036.

Your example of what people would do based on something I might say is accurate. However, my concern would be the potential actions of a single person, not the masses. In 1963, if I suggested that someone should watch the book depository windows as the President went by, the actions of a single person might have a huge impact on history. You also asked if I've visited my "past" family. That's where I am now.

John mentions that he has no idea what GINGER is but he mentions media hype and alludes to IT not amounting to much.

Again, I don't believe I said that either. My point in that conversation was about feeling manipulated by hype. Since they ARE asking you to buy something, I would be very interested in your lengthy and critical postings about ITS credibility. If you could post that link I would very much like to
see it.

John says the mechanical typewriter is a major machine again in the future and the Internet still exists and is widely used.

Actually, what I said was, ".you may be surprised at how many people use typewriters." I don't understand the conflict. What's wrong with typewriters? At least you don't have to plug them in.

What is the speed of the average computer in the future?

GHz is not a useful measurement. Computers are no longer measured by their speed as mush as the number of variables (not calculations) they can handle per second.

Who is the major super power in 2036?

It depends on how you define power. If you mean military, the world has developed into an odd balance. There are plenty of nuclear weapons left but if anyone uses them they, will be instantly erased from the planet by everyone else, regardless of the politics. We are very tired of war.

Are the two political parties still Republicans and Democrats?

There are no Republicans or Democrats to speak of. There are now over 10 major political parties.

How many States are there?

The states, as you know them, still exist but their political power has been combined with other states around them. There are now 5 major geopolitical areas in the United States.

Which states are the worst to live in?

When you can't drink the water its bad everywhere.

Do companies like (popular software and Internet names) still exist?

No.

Does money look different than it does now?

No, money is pretty much the same. Unfortunately, I do not have any money with me because I wouldn't be able to use it here.

Does the government know there that time travel going on?

In 2036, yes.

How many time travellers are there on your team? How do they choose new ones?

My unit has between 6 and 10. When I left, there were 7 others. Military service, physical fitness, history or technical background and special relationship to target contacts get you in the door. Why can't you answer questions about natural disasters? No one can change something now that would cause an earthquake or stop one. I will not share information that would allow someone to avoid death by probability.

PERSONAL RULES FOR TEMPORAL DISCLOSURE:

(1). I will not disclose any information that will cause someone to personally gain by its knowledge.

(2). I will not disclose any detailed information that would allow someone to avoid death by probability.

(3). I will not disclose any information that may compromise any future actions by individual people or threaten their family and well being.

What kind of music is popular, what kind of recreation is enjoyable, what
holidays are important?

I'm not sure if you wanted to discuss these or not. If yes, I will be happy
to do that.

Do you feel some pleasure in breathing clean air and not having to check a
radiation counter every few miles?

Yes I do. However there is a fear about being here that I can only define as uncertainty. When I walk around in 2001, the air smells clean but I wonder if it really is. In 2036, there is no grey. The air is either clean or it will kill you. That feeling is very overwhelming when I eat here.

Name any near future event that makes history.

You mean other than the mad cow pandemic, the breakthroughs in high-energy physics and the unknown functions of the 5100? I realize I've only been on this board for a few weeks but I assume you've read the other postings I've
made about these issues months ago in order to be so definitive.

Is propane still around in the future?

Yes but not very much of it comes from natural gas. Hydrogen is converted into propane because it's easier to handle.

I would hope the location I live in would be spared (the Hawaiian Islands).

My parents went to Hawaii on their Honeymoon. My dad told me a quick story about going to a fast food store and paying 6 or 7 dollars for a hamburger. I got an image in my head of a huge tanker filled with frozen hamburgers headed into the Pacific. Hawaii is very dependant on the mainland for food,
isn't it?

Thank you for your kind words.

Does the last name (forum personal name) have any historical relevance?

You may leave a message to yourself if you wish.

What happens with Australia?

I believed I wrote about Australia a bit earlier.

What colloquial language is used in the future?

Many people use the Internet for communication and entertainment. I would say that affects our speech. We type very fast.

What exactly happens to the water?

Yes, radiation affected the water but that can always be distilled out. There are biological hazards that cannot. In addition, fresh water is hard to come by without talking to someone with a gun first.

Does intercontinental transportation still exist? Have you visited other countries?

Yes, but the market is much smaller. No, I have not been overseas.

You have said you will not participate in helping anyone avoid 'death by probability'. Yet many things you have said could have caused an individual to do or not do something that will now result dying, or escaping death.

It would help if you could give an example. If you are referring to the conflict and war in your future, I'm not sure I'm specific enough to help any individuals avoid anything. Suggesting there is a war coming is a bit different than saying avoid Washington DC at 3:45 AM on March 12, 2015.

There is no way for you to be sure there is no future world leader reading this and believing you.

Are you sure about that? Besides, I think you can have just as much impact as any "future leader".

What is more, you will tell us no names, no locations, or any specifics as a result of your supposed ethics. If those were indeed the ethics you were committed to and reasoned with, you would not be here now.

I am curious about this also. Do you think I should not interact with you for your safety or mine?

Answer this and I will believe you until the ends of the Earth.

Again, you should not offer this to anyone for any reason.

Simply inscribe your knowledge of any large-scale events over the next six months. Encrypt said text file. Give text file to a custodian. The only problem is, now you have to trust the person who brings the information forward.

ARTIFICIAL MICROSINGULARITY = LOCALIZED KERR FIELD Is this a prediction?

I'm sure I would end up in one of their nice little padded cells while In your "world time" have things like "Saquatch" , "Loch Ness monster", and other reported unusual animals?

We have our swamp monsters too. In fact, I think it's interesting that we all respond to the unknown the same way regardless of our cultural experiences.

Is remote viewing used to gather military intelligence?

I am only aware of it from this worldline. I don't know otherwise.

Are psychics still common?

Yes, psychics exist but I don't have any knowledge of their use by the
military.

Is there a police force as we know it? Have any of your leaders been jailed or impeached?

Yes, we have police but they are organized in smaller groups. Yes, we still have political and religious leaders who find it difficult to obey the law. I would submit to you that the law is only as good as the people's willingness to apply it evenly and swiftly.

Is there a Global Superpower state?

Being a superpower only makes you a target. There is an uneasy balance in the world now that everyone "probably" has nukes, chems or bios. We don't just bomb people for the hell of it anymore. Military power is based on the number of autonomous fighting men who are actually willing to fight.

Do they have (old computer games) in 2036?

I am aware they are video games but I have not come across them.

Does China have a manned space program between 2001 and 2036?

I believe they are pretty close to putting a man in orbit. It shouldn't surprise you if they do that soon.

Do you have television in 2036?

Information does arrive on video but cathode ray tubes are out and crystal or plasma is in. Distribution is over the net, not broadcast.

Do you have flashlights in 2036? If so, what type of batteries does it use?

Yes, we have flashlights and we use similar batteries for most things. We do recharge a great deal. Have you ever seen those wind-up radios? They're pretty interesting I think.

How is electricity generated in 2036?

"Most" publicly generated power is through very efficient solar cells. On a local or household level, there is steam, hydro and inversion generation. There is a debate on using a singularity to generate power.

Does the sun look different in 2036?

When you can see it through the high level smoke and haze, not that I'm aware of.

What sort of clothing do you wear in 2036? Is there strong attention paid to what people wear in the group?

Clothing is much more functional. I'm not sure what group you're talking about.

John had a (50/50) chance of telling us the future.

Yes, there was a 50/50 chance of that happening but the odds were easily one out two that it could have gone the other way.

Describe what you mean by functional. Do you wear light colours, dark colours, loose, tight fitting? What materials are used for the clothing?

Seems a bit obscure to have a discussion about. Do we wear radiation suits? No. Do we use pockets a lot, yes.

How does this smoke and haze allow for solar cells to be efficient?

Do you have any idea how efficient solar cells are today? Sometimes it's sunny and sometimes it rains. Sometimes large dust clouds high in the atmosphere pass overhead. I don't understand the point you want to make. The sun looks the same.

If each worldline is separate from the others, then wouldn't the consequences of your actions now have no effect on your original world line?

Yes, that's correct.

If this is the case, why won't you tell us things that will give us knowledge?

I am not qualified to judge if you deserve it or not and I have no idea if you may be the next (for lack of a better reference) Hitler. However, if I were able to physically help you from a situation because I was there and I knew it was coming, I would help you.

My only guess is that you are not a time traveller, and don't want to make anyone do something stupid.

Yes, I am aware that is the obvious first answer but I would hope my moral and logical arguments at least make a dent in your thinking. If you were a time traveller, would you be comfortable giving out all that information after considering the possible consequences? (Provided you knew it). If I were you, I would be worried about what the next time traveller might do,
even by mistake.

How can I leave a message for myself in the future if the things I do in this worldline do not affect any other?

Just post it here. All this information will probably end up on the web in 2036. If you're alive then and you think ahead for some reason to do a search on yourself, you might see it. Of course the "you" there would have no memory of doing it.

Your prediction of (national politics) pending disintegration, beginning in three short years, is impossible.

Have you see the documentary on Waco? Just for argument's sake, what do you think would happen if information were discovered that confirmed the worst accusations made against the law enforcement officers there? Would you hope nothing?

Do you remember any poetry after 2001 in your past?

A Soldier's Winter

The day before it wasn't snowing.
The trees are strangers, leering, disapproving in the ash of winter ..myworld, my life, my wandering path.
I pray God's eyes may once again gaze upon me and remind me that I am still His child.

I only (think) I remember the first line but the last one I remember. It has quite a few more lines that I don't remember. It is rumoured this was written first as a letter by a soldier. After he died it was added to and edited by others. In my opinion, it has become a symbol for the collective guilt my
parents' generation feels for what became of the world.

Is there a market for new books in 2036? Are most of the books available old or new?

Yes but there are no large commercial printing and distribution companies. Books and other forms of hard media are distributed on the web and printed or put on other media from local hubs.

What happens to Bill Clinton?

I don't really know.

What happens to Bill Gates?

This I do know but I won't discuss.

Why are orphans an issue?

Problems with the environment still have lasting affects on all people, which cause the average life span to (be) lower. In addition, people are more susceptible to accidents. Family life and children are very highly valued and the community takes the responsibility for raising children if their parents die.

What is your biggest environmental issue?

Water. You need it for everything and there is very little left in the world that is positively safe to drink.

Does distillation remove radioactivity from water?

It removes the dust and dirt particles that are radioactive.

Do people still watch TV?

Yes but it isn't broadcast anymore.

Are there women on your travel team?

Not that I'm aware of but I would assume there are women who are either trained or are training for the same type of work. I don't know why there wouldn't be.

What is the status of women in 2036?

I understand the question but I have nothing to relate it to in 2036. The status of women is the same as men. Equality issues disappeared during the war.

Do women hold office?

Yes.

Do women work outside the home?

Women are not expected to stay home and be "barefoot and pregnant" if that's what you mean.

Do women get equal pay?

Yes.

Are women safe on the streets at night?

There is still crime but people do not attack each other the way they do here.

What do women wear for the most part?

Clothing is more functional. Women wear very similar clothing as men when working or training. In our free time or with our family and friends, clothing is much more individualized. Long dresses, knitted sweaters and pants are still quite popular. You'll have to forgive me; I'm not very good at describing women's clothing.

Are the Amish alive and well?

Yes, I believe they are.

What is the birth rate?

I don't know the exact figures but having children is radically lower than it is now. It is the one thing I wish we had that you enjoy here.

Is there an unusual rate of birth defects?

Yes. Mostly stillborn.

You said that your culture was centred around Universities. Weren't they wiped out in the war?

Not all major universities are in large cities.

Do you use cell phones?

Yes, we use a form of cell phone.

Do people eat red meat?

Yes but not as much as you do.

Do people drive cars?

Yes but they are not produced in nearly the same numbers or used the same
way.

Are airlines in operation?

Yes but again, not nearly as many.

Do airlines travel internationally?

Yes, but most people don't get really want to go overseas.

Are people pressured into a Christian doctrine?

Not at all.

Do the police make drug busts?

No.

Are there jails? What kind of criminals are in them?

Yes there are jails. Mostly theft, fraud, rape and murder.

What kind of public punishment is there?

Hard labour, community service, banishment (you must move to another community), public execution.

Your justice system sounds like New England during religious persecution and intolerance.

How do you define intolerance? We don't really have the energy or desire to waste time being intolerant. If you produce and help the community than you can do pretty much think and do anything you want within the law.

Are there herbal medicines and alternative life styles?

Yes.

Is there personal freedom?

Yes, the same freedoms you enjoy under the Constitution.

Is there an IRS?

Yes, we pay taxes. Sounds like you don't enjoy keeping track of your personal income taxes. I don't think anyone does.

Is the same type of currency used? Is ours today good in 2010 or 2020?

Yes, we use money. That's a good question. I don't see why you couldn't use your current bills in the future.

Other than time travel how do most people get around the country? Do people travel much?

There is a high-speed train system, horseback, bike, walking. Automobiles are used mostly for sport and some transportation.

Are people suspicious of strangers or are all you people just one big happy family?

There is still conflict and mistrust. Yes, I am suspicious of strangers. I think that's an instinct we are given to help us stay alive.

Are we travelling in space in 2036?

Not yet but they are working on it.

Has first contact with an alien race occurred?

Not that I'm aware of.

What is the next movement in music?

I appreciate your frustration and quite a few people have asked me questions like this. The expected answer is that I don't want to break my personal code of "time travel ethics". The real answer is, I just don't know. I was not prepared for the year 2001, I was prepared for 1975. I don't suppose it would be very impressive if I told you Disco would be big until 1980.

Is there any more background information you can give?

Once I leave, I would not want any attention to come to my family here.

I'm sure even in 2036 there is a tendency to tease one's detractors if they make themselves available.

I have no intention of teasing anyone but I do grow tired of the same cycle over and over again. Eventually, the people who do not like me or what I have to say (real or not) will win. I will either leave or grow tired of answering the same questions.

If your most vociferous detractor continually puts on weak attacks; it takes attention away from the really challenging questions.

Again, please do not confuse my inability to answer the same questions over and over with a desire to make someone upset. I gain nothing by angering anyone or making them look foolish.

You said the position of women is controversial and conservative in 2036. What does that mean?

It certainly isn't disrespectful. I apologize if it sounded that way. It's one of those areas I realize will be difficult to discuss because we may lack similar experiences. In 2036, there is not a desire to "have it all". With factors such as the difficulty in conceiving and the decentralization of production and industry, there is not an unrealistic scramble to have a "career" and a family. Out of necessity and circumstance, family life has become more traditional. However, there are many families where the wife /
mother is the main breadwinner and the husband / father remains "home" with the family. The difference is in the method of decision-making. People do not have children (if they are able) unless they can devote the required resources to maintain it.

What type of money system do you have on your world line?

Its not very different than it is now. Yes, we have money and credit cards. However, like everything else, the monetary system is decentralized. Banking is based mostly around the community structure. There are no multinational banking or computerized economic systems. There are also no income taxes.

Is there an IRS and a need to keep a lot of receipts and paperwork?

Yes, we pay taxes. I had considered going into more detail about the tax system but I didn't have a great deal of time. Currently, I am watching my father go over all his taxes and he doesn't look like he's having a very good time. My comment referred to the collective misery I see around me during this time of year.

What do you see for the future of time travel on your worldline?

That's a good question. I am hopeful that one day when we get the planet cleaned up it will be a nice place to live on again and no one will want to leave it. On the other hand, if time travel were commonplace right now, I think a great many people would leave and perhaps never return. There is also a suggestion that time travel might make an interesting punishment. However, I don't think we have the right to force criminals on unsuspecting worldlines and sending them to the Stone Age might be a bit much.

I find this fascinating. Has California had the big earthquake?

The big one? As you are experiencing now, there are earthquakes, storms and other unfortunate surprises from Mother Nature that have impacts on your society and future history. That is one reason I won't go into detail. However, don't worry too much about major portions of coastline slipping
under water.

What music do 20 year olds listen to?

People listen to all types of music. A great deal of it is available over the web. I would also add that people spend much more time making their own music.

What's the future of cloning?

Cloning full people has been determined to be medically and ethically unsound. We do have research and progress in cloning body parts and creating more viable sperm and egg production.

Any more on Bill Gates?

Not really. Just curious, why is he of such interest?

Do people wear chips yet?

No. People value their personal independence and ability to take care of themselves.

Is reverse speech used in the future?

I'm not very familiar with reverse speech but what I saw on the web leads me to conclude it's a bit objective. I'm not sure if its been proven scientifically to be very accurate. Are you aware of any research that shows that?

What about earthquakes in California or Nevada?

No I can't. Besides, I see others predicting earthquakes and very few people pay any attention to them.

Are the Great Pyramids standing in 2036?

Yes, although one of them was severely damaged.

How's communication around the world in 2036. Do you still have literature widely available?

Yes, books and other literature are available but most of the distribution is via the net.

What's the latest book you've read that you were only able to hear about in your own time?

The latest book I read was the autobiography of the Red Baron compiled from letters to his mother. Yes, I was aware of it in my own time but finding an original copy there was almost impossible.

Is new literature also so available?

Yes.

Is the English language segmenting? Is tourism still strong and thriving in 2036?

I would say the English language is pretty much the same as it is now. There are differences in slang and figures of speech but it's nothing you couldn't pick up. Yes, I suppose we do have "tourism".

Can you tell me when the police stop busting people for weed?

It happens about the same time they stop coming to your house when you dial 911.

Do they start pushing for legalization earlier than the war?

It's not really an issue of the government letting you do something; It's more like they have other things to worry about. Don't you feel you're capable of taking care of yourself? If you want to take mood-altering drugs, why should my opinions stop you from that? They don't stop you from taking alcohol, tobacco or fast food.

In any case, it also lets Darwin take over. One of the reasons drug abuse isn't a major problem in 2036 is because no one wants to die from it and everyone else who did is dead.

Are people using "reverse speech"?

Not that I'm aware of.

Where did you attend High school and what year did you graduate?

No, I did not have a "high school" experience.

Why is it not ok to give us information about our near future but it is ok to take back emails and modify another worldline?

I'm not saying anything in your messages. You are. Are you suggesting I edit your emails? Are you unable to weigh the consequences of your opportunity and I am now responsible for what you might say to yourself? Now that you have the chance to put your own morals to the test do you feel you're
incapable of living up to your own standards?

Is it wrong to say one thing and not something else? If you feel you should tell yourself to buy a certain stock than I suppose you are willing to take the risk that "your" advice doesn't prove wrong in the next few days. What ever I might do, I would consider the fact that someday you will have to address this question again as an entire society.

Why would I offer to make the video if I thought it would "expose" me? If it makes you feel better, I doubt it will change your mind anyway but it will give you something to talk about when I'm gone. I think that's the greatest gift I could give you.

Do most of the people of that time die, especially ones that currently have health problems?

Yes, and people are still dying and a great deal of them are passing from CJD. As I said, with my very first few posts almost 6 months ago, I want to emphasize how devastating this will be. I believe two people are confirmed dead in Colorado from CDJ from surgical instruments. Ahhhh, the power of
cheese. Milk does a body good and beef is what's for dinner!

Me: "No, I have not tried any fast food. Thinking about where the food came from, how it was shipped and treated absolutely terrifies me. I have tried to tell people about CJD disease and it seems to be "catching on" in Europe."

Me: Do not eat or use products from any animal that is fed and eats parts of its own dead.

Me: The "Mad Cow" story here is yet to begin...

Is it possible that sometime in your future time travel will be
commonplace?

Yes, that is absolutely possible and eventual.

Have any of the scientists of your time discovered any new planets, possibly ones with life?

Not that I'm aware of.

Has the bandwidth of the Internet increased greatly?

Yes.

How does time travel affect future exploration of the universe?

There is a great deal of debate about trying to use a distortion unit to "travel" to the moon. The experiment would require very precise calculations that would allow the VGL system to find a theoretical path to the moon on a different worldline. The only problem is there is no way to communicate with anyone if the experiment should succeed. In other words, it's possible to do
it but only the people on the receiving end could take advantage of it.

Is there still (sporting event) in 2036?

Yes, we still play basketball but I am not a fan and can't comment on its organization.
