The Legend That Is John Titor

Has taken another step into the bizarre and also into the mainstream. Not quite a full foot into the river of the mainstream but it is doing a toe dip now.

It seems that there is now a documentary that claims CIA involvement, many interviews, and lots of innuendo. I haven't seen this but if I were a gambling man I'd say that it is a mockumentary that blurs the lines from fact and fiction. Think about it, a documentary on a man who may or may not have ever existed, who claims to be from the future. The doc even has a My Space page! What does that tell you?

It could be a stroke of genius of Blair Witchian proportions!

The story all started back in 2000-01. He made a series of web posts claiming to be from 2036. You can also read my last post about the John Titor story for more details.

This story just doesn't go away. So what is it about this story that isn't just discredited out of hand? I mean this is about someone who just made a series of web posts, I mean who can't do that and claim they are from the future? The fact of the matter is that John Titor, either real of a very elaborate hoax, has a huge esoteric effect if you know where to go on the web.

How much of an underground presence does John Titor have? Well just do a search on You Tube, the next time you are going to watch an episode of Drinkbusters.

You know after typing that sentence about a subject as profound and mysterious, with unlimited threads for discussion and deep conversations such as time travel and then tie it to Drinkbusters about my friends and I who test drinks, I suddenly feel a twinge of inadequacy.

Eh, I'll get over it!

Anyway back to John Titor. If you want to get a good grasp of the mystery go to
www.johntitor.com
www.fasttrackproductions.biz/TimeTravel_0.html

and see for yourself.
Think about this for a second, If time travel is possible in the future couldn't there actually be a time traveler here today? At the moment that time travel is possible then time is no longer relevant to you. You are no longer restrained by time other than by natural aging and even that could be irrelevant if aging is conquered sometime in their future.

So for me personally what is it that intrigues me about this story? Even when common sense is screaming at me that it is a hoax, why do I still keep up with it? I want to believe that John Titor is a real life time traveler.

I want to believe that mankind in the future has harnessed time to create a better world. The possibilities of creating a paradise this side of Heaven would be at hand. It could make man's inhumanity to man a thing of the past.
