Continuing the whole 'creeping myself out' process - here's another interesting tidbit around 2012 - I acutally read through the article and checked out some links - and this one about John Titor seemed - well, creepy. Basically (the short version) he was a dude who posted on the net in 2000/2001, claiming to be from 2036, andsaid he was 'returned' in order to jack some old school computer that was needed to decode some legacy *ROFLOL* programs.
Not saying I BELIEVE in any of this - but, hell - it's odd, ya know? Here are some of his statements about the next couple of years.
- A Second American Civil War from 2004-2008, during which civil liberties would be surrendered under the guise of National security. (I think this is the creepiest prediction of em all - we've still got another TWO YEARS to go)
- An event similar to the "parting of the Red Sea" will occur in 2012.
- Third World War in 2015, a gradual global escalation that was ended by Russia bombing American, European and Chinese cities.
- John suggests "avoiding Washington DC" at approximately 3:45am, March 12, 2015.
- Sometime before this point (referred to as "N-Day") China forcefully annexes Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
- Chemical and Biological weapons are used, and some "non-lethal" weapons turned out to be quite lethal.
- Australia successfully repels a Chinese invasion.
- The war kills over 3 billion people.
- Post-war
- Communities of survivors gathered and grew around libraries and universities.
- The United States split into five regions based on various factors and differing military objectives.
- The US Constitution was changed by a Constitutional Congress.
- A President is elected for each of the five major areas of the US.
- The powers of the union government are more defined and reside at the county and state level.
- The Vice President is elected separately.
- The US Capital is in Omaha, Nebraska.
- Life in 2036:
- Society
- Military service plays a large part in day-to-day life.
- Federally subsidized welfare is gone.
- Capital Punishment is still implemented.
- Communities have returned to a family/community centred state, advised by elders.
- Politics is no longer dual-party, with over 10 major political parties.
- Texas is Hispanized.
- International travel is rare and infrequent.
- Religion and Beliefs
- Religion is far more personal and plays a major part in day-to-day life.
- There are no large centralized religions.
- The Ten Commandments have been restored to the "10" that God gave Moses.
- Sabbatarianism, or worship on Saturday is a common practice.
- Technology
- Wireless internet is ubiquitous.
- Television and Telephony are delivered via the Web.
- Books and other hard media are now distributed online and printed from local hubs.
- Napster distributes music, but Microsoft and Yahoo no longer exist.
- Digital Cameras are the norm, film is used only by artists.
- Power is not distributed over long distances. Alternate forms of generation are common, the most prevalent being solar.
- Environment
- The environment is heavily affected by radiation. The lack of potable water is the biggest enviromental issue.
- Global Warming has had little effect. Temperature is about the same although there were anomalies after the war.
- The ice-caps are still melting at a constant rate.
- Fresh water is hard to come by, thus supply is controlled.
- Health
- The birth rate is much lower, due to a high number of birth defects and stillbirths.
- Mad Cow, or vCJD in humans, is a devastating public health problem.
- Cures for AIDS and Cancer have not been found. Viral therapy is used for Cancer.
Interesting, isn't it?? I'm not sure what's worse - that none of this stuff would really SUPRISE me if it happened, or the fact that he said it would happen.
