Art Bell Fax Transcript
From the first FAX:
"You can alter history in the new universe that you have just created. Most of the time the changes are subtle. The oddest one was a skyscraper that don't exist in New York.
...
Now for the future you might want to know about. Y2K is a disaster. Many people die... The government tries to keep power by instituting martial law but all of it collapses when their efforts to bring the power back up fail.
A few years later communial [sic] government system is developed after the constitution takes a few twists.
China takes Taiwan, Israel wins the largest battle for their life. And Russia is covered in nuclear snow from their collapsed reactors."
From the second FAX:
"...Typically time travelers do not purposedly affect the world lines they visit, however this mission is unusually long and I've grown attached to some of the people I have met here.
Anyway for my own reasons I have decided to help this world line by sharing information about the future with a few people in the hope that it will help their future. I am contacting you for the same reason. Unfortunately there is no historical reference to your program in my worldline.
I believe you can change your future by creating one now.... Russians... are not preparing for war with the average US citizen. They are preparing for war with the US government. They will eventually save this country and the lives of millions of Americans."
The scenarios described in the two FAXs appear to be mutually exclusive. The first describes a crippled Russia and the looming Y2K disaster; the second says nothing of these, and describes a Russia gearing up to attack the U.S. government. Bear in mind that the events of the history in which we are now living is yet a third scenario, in which Russia is reverting to totalitarian government, a position from which it would not need to wait until America is undergoing a civil war to oppose the West militarily again.
The second FAX is consistent with the later Titor material, but the first is not entirely inconsistent if you consider that each trip to the past, in his scheme, recreates a future. This is why some consider the first FAX to have been sent before the first trip back (to avert Y2K).
The FAXs do not in any way prove or disprove Titor's legitimacy as a time traveler, but on the contrary raise further possibilities not inconsistent with his 2000-2001 predictions.
In each case, the global upheaval results in a more communal, readjusted society among the survivors, who value the Constitution to a degree not common among us today.
