The split in the U.S.
Titor's references to his past effectively describe World War III taking place. This culminates in nuclear war in 2015 in which nearly three billion people are killed, largely within major world cities. He says the first inkling of this will become apparent in 2004/5 around the time of U.S. presidential election, 2004.

Yes, I have been reading this John Titor stuff. Yes it is fiction but it is interesting and with the way things are, it makes me wonder. Up until into Bush's term, I would have laughed at something like this. It seems more likely now. I don't think things will deteriorate that quickly but we may have problems if we aren't careful.

2. 200 Nukes Ready to Fire Are you ready?
Secretary of Defense William Perry toured Russia's nuclear facilities and came away "scared to death".

He said he was especially scared when he visited a site--7 stories underground--well reinforced--200 multiple warhead loaded ICBM's aimed at targets in America.

He said they could reach us in thirty minutes. Dat's quicko.

ByeBye----

3. Yawn....
old informationa really. ICBMs' flight time on average is anywhere
from 30-45 minutes. SLBMs are roughly 10-15 minutes depending on how
far inland they are targeted.

How about them Chinese and their nukes, eh?

We're aiming nukes at them as well...so, what's to be scared off?

4. His social visions are rather simplistic....
most of what he describes as his "world" in 2036 sound very much
like what the survivalists envision.
"Religion taken much more seriously...." :eyes:

Its called "future projection"...and a warped one at that.
