CryoLemon,
It's not really a Waco event. It didn't happen in the United States, it happened in Puerto Rico, but let's give it a "maybe" because PR is a U.S. Territory.
Titor didn't say that there woud be "an" event. He said that starting around the time of the 2004 general election we would witness an increase in the frequency of such events culminating in the Weekly Wacky Waco incidents - a once a week event.
---------------------------------------------------
Knowledge,
It's been 11 months since the 2004 general election but it's also been 19 months since the primaries started for the 2004 election...which marks the beginning of the general election in a larger sense. So I can see why JohnTitorIsFake made the statement about the intervening 19 months.
Personally I think that 19 months is stretching it a bit too much.
---------------------------------------------------
In any case I haven't seen an increase in the frequency of this sort of incident. They pop up in the news a couple of times a year.
So, we have one "maybe" and are looking for another "maybe" every 10-14 days for the next year with the time between incidents converging on 7 days over the next two years. In other words, we're looking for 70 to 80 Wacos during the next 26 months because the civil war is supposed to be in full swing by 2008...26 months from now.
He missed on the violence surrounding the 2004 general election. He's already missed another prediction. He said that Western Civilization would suffer a catastrophic collapse in 2005. But 2005 is going, going, gone in 12 weeks...and Western Civilization seems to be reasonably well intact.
That's not all that important, really. According to the saga the collapse of Western Civilization is simply the entire basis for the world war...nothing to be concerned about.
It's been fully 5 years since Boomer wrote this story. When he wrote it 2008 was a long time out into the future. Pleanty of time for people to contemplate the subtle "predictions" of the story. But time is growing short and we're getting beyond the time when we look for subtle clues.
We are, according to Titor's Saga, on a headlong course racing blindly toward the total collapse of Western Civilization, a massive civil war in the USA and a nuclear holacaust that kills half of the population of planet Terra...and the whole enchilada comes to a head in 26 months.
By this time, according to the timeline of events in the saga, we should experiencing a period of not at all subtle domestic violence. And it just isn't there.
There are enough of us still around who personally experienced a real live civil war in the USA from 1968 to 1974. There was nothing subtle about the events. Time is running out and there just isn't much of anything going on. Titor has grossly missed on every "prediction" where he made reasonably clear and concise statements about what was to come. The civil war was one such sequence of events.
But there's a little time left. People (I suppose) can only hope that they witness bloodshed, bombs and general misery because then they could say, "See...Titor said this would happen" and feel happy that they were able to say that (though if Titor was actualy right they wouldn't have much of an audience to thumb their nose at, would they? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
(Actually the Titor Saga wasn't too bad an effort considering that it was written by a 15 year old kid.
