Following John Titor

He's got a nice little myth and cult status going......and the potential dollars probably still could come in......

How large of a monetary gain could one feasibly make from the John Titor story? Just wondering. Do you have a ballpark figure in mind?

There was a book at some point. At $55 on Amazon.....not cheap ! But I think the publication was a limited edition, you will only get a 'not new' version.

Obviously not under Titor's own name....I think it was his 'mother' or someone who allegedly wrote it. No idea how well it's done.....but can't be too bad a business if old copies are selling at $55 a time !! Even if only 1,000 copies were printed.....you're talking about $55,000 worth of book out there.

Then there's the 'official' Titor website, with merchandise and stuff. I've always been a little suspicious of why the guy who runs it is so determined Titor is 'real'.

And of course, the John Titor Foundation....which seems to feel the need to hire a lawyer. Now why would they need a lawyer ? Well of course.....copyright of 'the story'.

Of course, in that respect Titor has a problem. As he won't reveal his real name, then John Titor is essentially a fictitious character with a problem in that given the very nature of the story anyone else could claim to be 'John Titor returned' and there is nothing any lawyer can do. The only way the lawyer could argue ' you are not the real John Titor'.....is to reveal who the real Titor is.

Indeed.....such a ploy WOULD in fact be a far better way to expose Titor. I can imagine that Titor would hate to be out-hoaxed at his own story.....and have 'the sequel' taken over by someone else...who could even ( as they are John Titor ) rewrite the original story !

Hmmm.
 
Interesting. I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment. Maybe I should start an internet hoax.

Not to mention that you don't need The Book. The threads are here on TTI and the complete threads from TTI and Post-2-Post are available on Anomalies.net.

The only difference between The Book and the original threads are the "thoughts" of the fictional "Momma" Kay Titor and the indivudual posts that were edited from the original in The Book.
 
Just a general reply:

Books, Threads postings, etc, etc.

Snap your fingers!

Now to the court case suppoenaed to, I suppose
maybe if it does not change. Try as an adult, perhaps.
Well, the kid with tatoos on his face just wants to get mad,
and act like a fascist, but he is not going to take it out on
where I live and/or me. May need help, but then.............

If passing concealed gun laws, suppose have to find out about that later.

Anything else the anti-socials want to say to a civilian.
Too bad the Senator got an earfull, but then I suppose to be nice,
ya...............B.S.
So those kind think we all have to die alone,
them first for reasons I do know about and can prove.
 
Okay getting a little carried away again, which noone wants to hear I suppose.

It was the slashing tire almost teenager adult, maybe.

That was the third slashed tire this year though, but lately Easter Sunday
as not happened again so far.

Teenagers???

When I'm with my parents, I live in a community made up of "tree houses" on a large river in Florida. The river floods sometimes and we have access to the Gulf.

I wonder if this is what he was talking about.

Here are some predictions John Titor made that have come.

1) People in future create their own videos [YOUTUBE].
2) TV over internet [YOUTUBE, HULU]
3) Tubes replace by plasma & LCD [TUBES GONE]
4) Film replace by digital [PHONECAMS]
5) Internet over wireless [WIMAX]
6) Will you readily be able to identify the enemy.
They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process. [PATRIOT ACT]
7) Books and other forms of hard media are distributed on the web. [KINDLE]

Still to come.
Do companies like Microsoft, Yahoo!, and other internet software companies still exist'
No.

I am aware of the Mayan Calendar but in 2012, it was not something I was able to think about. When the time comes, I'm sure people will find the signs they are looking for that leads them to the end of time.

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.

The average temperature worldwide is a bit cooler.

Wavering western support for Israel is what gives Israel's neighbors the confidence to attack.
 
You really do have a nack for picking the most trivial of ideas and posting them as if they are somehow meaningful:

1) People in future create their own videos [YOUTUBE].

People in the "present" created their own videos and posted them on the Internet in 2000. That was the crux of the issue about "The Video". He was supposed to post it, or have it posted for him, online.

2) TV over internet [YOUTUBE, HULU]

ABC World News began being broadcast on the Internet in 1994.

3) Tubes replace by plasma & LCD [TUBES GONE]

In 1999 Japan's sales of LCD monitors was over 5.2 million units.

4) Film replace by digital [PHONECAMS

Digital cameras were first released to the mass market in 1997. The 1999 sales were ~5 million with demand far outstripping supply.

5) Internet over wireless [WIMAX]

The Wi-Fi standard 802.11 was set up in 1997


6) Will you readily be able to identify the enemy.
They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process. [PATRIOT ACT]

That's a political statement and not a prediction. Where in the PATRIOT ACT is there a waiver of due process?

7) Books and other forms of hard media are distributed on the web. [KINDLE]

The entire idea behind the Internet, UseNet was to distribute digital books, magazines, scientific papers, etc.

None of these items were predictions. They already existed at the time that TTO./Titor made the posts.

Imports from China climbed to a record $35.3 billion in August, pushing the trade shortfall with the Asian nation to $28 billion, the highest since comparable data began in 1992. Growing friction over exchange-rate and trade policy dominated discussions at the International Monetary Fund’s annual meeting in Washington this month.

Right now we have a record trade gap. Don't take my word for it see your local Walmart that has over 90% of items (not food) with MADE IN CHINA on the box, and then tell me that all is fine now. Where are our jobs, not here anymore - they are gone.

Tea Party is start of second civil war. Politicians are liars - there is no recovery. Things are getting worse. Expect the city versus country John Titor spoke of to hit soon. Also, for food much higher prices.

Is that the same Titor who predicted civil war in 2004 ? Just how much leeway do you want to give this guy ? If there is a civil war in 3072......will you then claim Titor got it right ?
 
WHERE IS JOHN TITOR EPISODE 13

Hello to all in the Time Travel Institute Family. It's been a while but we have always valued and appreciated the feedback and information we've gathered from this community. We are back at it again with a series of new videos. We plan on getting one on one interviews with key players in the Titor story as well as deeper investigation into the John Titor Foundation. We'd also like to be able to interview some of you on this forum. People who have claimed to talk to John, People who have theories on John - Believers and Skeptics. If you would be interested in doing so - please contact us at [email protected]. We are gearing up to start interviews in January 2011. Thanks again and enjoy the newest installment.

WHERE IS JOHN TITOR? EPISODE 13 - THE GOOD BOOK PART 2
 
Actually Obama is that Lincoln-like President. Both great orators. In fact, there is speculation in some circles( and which I do buy into) that Obama is actually the reincarnation of Lincoln. Lincoln did not hold blacks in high regard and that was his "punishement"(to be reincarnated as a black) for so much bloodshed during the Civil War. Both Obama and Lincoln from Illinois too . . . coincidence?

Uhhhh...sure, although I don't know how one gets "circles" from a group of one.
 
This is the most compelling evidence yet of who John Titor may have been. The following thread discusses a patent that was taken out on the drawings and math involving the "time machine". The person who applied for the patent (Marlin b.Pohlman) has advanced degrees in computer science, a physics background, and is a Director of Oracle. On his myspace page, he mentions Titor as his hero. Of course, some still believe that he is John Titor and that his machine actually works. Applying for a patent perhaps shows that it may be more lucrative to BE him now. In any case, he certainly Looks like a possible candidate--especially showing some of his "social pathology" in his views of the world. His book is a paragon of dryness and analytical computer mindset. This guy is no "geek" that you would see on "The Big Bang Theory"--more like "Animal House" with brains. If he IS, indeed, Titor; I would go see the movie. It's really a very funny story.

Eliakim,

Just a couple of problems with Mr. Pohlman's "invention":

1. It's not an invention. One invents gadgets; physical things. The supposed application is simply a math based paper. Nothing particularly wrong with that but there's nothing in the application that indicates that anything is being invented. It would be appropriate to file for a copyright for paper - but he didn't.

2. Rather than relying on Free Patents Online (the link on GLP) I went to the US Patent Office online database. Nada. No application on file and Marlin Pohlman's name does not appear anywhere in the database. In any case, no patent has been issued under the title on the application and none have been issued to Marlin Pohlman.

3. Titor's schematic drawings were ripped directly from the Internet (probably from this site) and inserted at the top of the application - Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 - with the same lack of definitions for the numbered arrows pointing to the components.

4. Referring back to #3 - those schematics, which were included in The Book, are copyrighted by the John Titor Foundation. There is no reference to the JTF and their copyright filed with the US Copyright Office.

5. As it relates to Titor - so what? Ripping some diagrams off of the Internet two years after Titor stopped posting and slapping them into a questionable patent application without any explanation sounds a lot more like a joke than a patent application.

I don't think that this points a smoking gun at Marlin Pohlman. However, he's a writer and a computer expert. But tossing in the schematics without any explanation, as I said, sounds like someone was pulling a leg or two - maybe hacking the site and sticking in the diagrams without Pohlman's knowledge? That's possible but over the course of the last 8 years it should have been caught. Not finding the application on the USPO site is also a big problem that makes me wonder if Pohlman had anything at all to do with the application on Free Patents Online. I suppose that if someone is curious enough they could contact him and ask. After 11 years I'm not that interested anymore. Besides,
we went through the Marlin Pohlman "invention" about three years ago here:

My bad. I never saw the threads you alluded to. I just posted it thinking it was fairly new. I couldn't care less about it either. It's a big joke to me, always has been. I usually don't waste my time with junk like this. Thanks for clueing me in. I won't waste any more time here or on that site either.
