Re: Good example of what Titor was trying to tell
recall,
Since Titor´s predictions of a police state is also coming true before our eyes, the preponderance of the evidence strongly favors Titor´s credibility and a rationa person must conclude on the basis of the evidence than Titor is far more likely to have been genuine than a fraud
Keep a couple of things in mind when relying on Karl Simononak as a credible source.
First, Karl was the first person that Pamela suspected of being Boomer - that was way back in 2002. She's since changed her mind. I've placed him down the list of Probables as being a member of Group Titor but he's never fallen off the list. Too many odd coincidences in his background. Before we even knew who or what a Karl Simononak was I concluded in an early analysis that Boomer may have attended the University of California at Davis. I'm not a time traveler - but when Karl surfaced we discovered that that's where he did his PhD work in Physiology with a minor in Radiation Biology. There are many more but that's already been covered in previous posts. Karl has an extreme political position and he's using Titor to promote it. No particular problem there, many people are doing the same. But its not a reliable criteria for determining that a source is credible on the subject of whether or not Titor was a time traveler. I expect just a bit more from a PhD in a physical science.
Second, Karl knows the meaning of "preponderance of the evidence". What he posted on his site does not represent anything close to a preponderance of the evidence. That level of certainty, though low, means that when the totality of all evidence is taken into consideration more than half is found to be credible. This is the level of certainty used in a civil trial. It falls far, far short of what would be required of a scientist to determine that someone is a time traveler. He threw out a term that he knows would sound impressive to people who might not know its actual meaning but which in reality isn't at all impressive.
Yet when you read the page on which the above quote is taken from he states that most of the "predictions" relative to the social issues have not come to pass. No civil unrest in 2004-2005, no Weekly Wacky Wacos and no civil war that should by now be apparent to everyone.
The topic of a "police state" is a buzz word that has been going around for several decades - and someone is always willing to say that it is a fact. Titor's "prediction" was a regurgitation of a hot topic on many sites, not the least of which were the militia sites. Mistrust of gvernment is an American institution.
Non-lethal waepons? We've been working on them for decades - principally because of law suits that have demanded them.
People are going to have their opinions of the state of affairs. But that in no way equates to their having relied on time travel to make predictions that are simply opinions that are subject to interpretation and which are certainly not universally held (or even a significant minority opinion). As far as I know, only Rick DOnaldson and I actually went through all of Titor's political-social commentary and predictions and checked them against what were hot Internet topics before Titor started posting. There wasn't a single item on the list that was not already something that was being debated on hundreds of sites. They not a predictions - they were news reports on current affairs - What's Hot Tonight on the Internet, or The Church of What's Happenin' Now.
The term that he used isn't just unimpressive, its not even accurate if used correctly. So far Titor has failed to make one undeniably accurate prediction. Its only the "predictions" that are subject to interpretation as to what he meant in his (non) responses to questions that are subject to any doubt.
As an aside relative to propoganda, go back to the YouTube video that you posted the link to re. the protest at the UN. Notice how the camera person photographs the scene. All close-ups with the camera pointed down toward the ground. How many people are involved in the protest? I counted fewer than 100. This is a common techniques that is used even by the "legitimate" news media. They use close-up and narrow angle lenses to fill the frame with people - but they are careful to make sure that there are few if any panning shots. That's a tip-off that the protest wasn't , how shall I say this, "well attended"?
If its a mass protest they make sure to get someone on a perch above the crowd for some wide angle panning shots to show that the crowd is large.
