Dear John, I believe you're a real Time Traveler. I believe because of the research I did, and because of dreams I've had of the future. Your postings and my dreams had many similarities. If you are real, is this what happened, will happen, or where we're headed? Did something happen after you saw your grandfather in the '70's that made our Timeline aware of and prepare for Y2K? So we averted it, but in the process, the people did not develop independence, character, self-sufficiency, awareness of rights, etc after experiencing that type of hardship? That hardship would have been a blessing, because people would have learned to stand up for their rights and learn to speak up (especially after 2000/2004 so-called elections). But Y2K didn't happen, so the people never developed that good character. Instead they became selfish and self-absorbed, always thinking about themselves, never paying attention to what's really going on within their government. Many do pay attention, but their efforts to do good and stop bad things are squelched by the rich and powerful. As a result, the people will be overtaken by the government and a new world order will be formed. Will there ever be civil unrest that leads to a civil war? Will it happen on our Timeline or not? Has too much been changed? Will the people ever wake up, or will it be when it's too late? If you ever read this I would so like to hear from you. (I believe we are in the Last Days, but perhaps a different version and outcome than many think.)
