1. You are a time traveler from the year 2038, sent back to the past. Since it is impossible to land at the exact moment you want to, instead you traveled back in time to before you wanted to land to play it safe and you are willing to stay here and wait until your appointed time.
2. Your job here (at your appointed moment in time) is to change the course of human events in a big way. To that end, you have no problem talking about the future since you're here to change it... logically, talking about it changes it.
3. You have recuited your "current self" for this project. Since you are from 2038 and we're in 2006, your "current self" is 32 years younger than you and currently in the Air Force flying F-18 Hornets for the Australian Air Force. This would make the current you approx. 22 years old and the you you right about 54 years old. Also- Australia is currently working on the F-35 Lightning II aircraft, which will be in rotation in a dozen years- right in time for the war because the Lightning II is superior to Chinese planes.
4. Your recuiting your current self for this job means the job you're here to do is more important than the continuity of your human life- that by recruiting your younger self, you are altering your own history, possibly to a degree where yes- time will become severely distorted as a result. In short, this is the old Biff giving the younger Biff the Sports Almanac, right?
5. Hillary Clinton will be our next President. It doesn't take a giant leap to conclude that you were sent here to somehow stop Hillary- kinda like "The Dead Zone". Case in point- you talk about inhumane terrorist acts on Catholic schools, riots in France and Australia and angst in Iran and Syria- all events that severely distort time, which is why you're here.
6. Your time machine is a human made flying saucer. This flying saucer is presumably in your backyard, supposedly under some sort of cloaking device. The saucer itself looks like a saucer- if you want to see what it looks like, we should just Google it. Time traveling is expensive and difficult and you barely made it to 2006- your shuttle (or space ship) nearly broke apart upon re-entry.
6A. Additionally, you are not the flying saucer's inventor, just the pilot. Your outstanding record and your contacts in Sydney, Australia (where your IP comes from) are the reasons you were chosen for this mission.
7. Two days after you appeared, you decided to keep why you're here a secret for the time being because if you proved you're a time traveler the media would be all over you and your mission's objectives would be ruined.
7B. To that end, on the same day you also decided you're only going to post here from time to time- making sure there is no direct proof of any of your claims. But don't worry- Clinton will be the next President and there will be bombings and killings and wars and when that happens, that will be my proof.
7C. Additionally, if none of those things ever happen, this means you somehow secretly changed the timeline which explains why none of it has come true. But everything will be revealed at the proper time, it's just that this is not the proper time.
8. Three weeks later you reappeared on this forum as Falzone2 from Lidcombe, Australia. You forgot your password, so you created this new screen name. Realizing the amount of information time traveler fans would demand of you, you decided to post here once every two weeks.
8B. Additionally, you tell us Bush will serve out his term as President. Apart from that, your job is to stop a series of events from ever happening, presumably happening sometime in 2008. If you are successful, none of the predictions you have made (apart from Bush serving out his term) will come to pass.
9. This is your one and only chance to change things and you must follow things to a precise detail. However, if things don't work out, you will go back to the future and come back with a new plan.
10. You decided to push the plan up instead of wait. The plan is "1. Stop Hillary from becoming president or 2. Stop the government from making a fatal decision."
11. Four days later, you say that now Australia will not be facing a civil war. There will be riots, and these riots will be related to Hillary, but it's not an outright Civil War.
12. Finally you tell us the US is about to invade Iran- by 10/30/06. This is the series of events you were sent back to stop- this upcoming war, Hillary's Presidency, worldwide riots and nuclear bombs.
Does this bring me up to speed?
