JOHN TITOR AND Y2K
I already posted several excerpts from John's postings in my Comment #3 above. (I've relisted them in Post #12 below.) Now I'm rereading John's posts from the book his Mother published: John Titor: A Time Traveler's Tale
If I find additional quotes from John's references to Y2K in the book, I will post them on this thread as I rediscover them and as they are related to the topic of this thread.
Let me begin BELOW with his Mother's opening letter to readers in the book. Granted, this is from John's Mother, not him, but IMO it is evidence none the less. As for referencing John's posts from the book, it's much easier and faster than doing it from the Internet Posts, which I have in my Research Journals.
A Letter from John's Mother:
As I write, I can see the movers taking our furniture off the truck. It's parked half way in the driveway in front of our new home. The larger furniture is coming off now. There's the couch, our living room chairs and a box of dishes. It reminds me of the last time we moved in 1999 to escape the coming of Y2K. But that was in Florida, a whole world away.
Back then, life seemed more predictable. My husband had a new job, we had a small home on a lake and our son was born. The first time I heard about Y2K I was watching a news program on a quiet Sunday night. I paid little attention to the year 2000 computer problem until April 27, 1998, the day we met John Titor. He called first, came to our house and just knocked on the front door. There in the doorway stood a man who claimed to be from the future. Not just any man, he claimed to be my son, age thirty-eight: a time traveler from the year 2036.
From that day until March 2001, John Titor stayed with us in our home. He told us he had made a promise to my husband's father in 1975 that involved preparing us for Y2K. On January 1, 2000, the world did not end as John said it would. Strangely, this did not seem to surprise him and instead seemed to be a burden as a deep sense of sadness overtook him.
For reasons that are still not clear to me, John decided to go on the Internet and write about who he was and why he was here. During the entire time he was online, I had the feeling he was attempting to start or finish something beyond just being online. If John was trying to get some other message out, I hope this book will help further those ends. For me, my husband and our young son, it is over.

Here is an excerpt BELOW from what is purported to be John's Fax No. 1 that was sent to Art Bell in 1998. You may view the entire content of the Faxes at this link: John Titor's faxes to Art Bell transcript in the 90s. What do you think as a 2012 viewer? | Time Travel Institute
JOHN TITOR: Now for the future you might want to know about. Y2K is a disaster. Many people die on the highways when they freeze to death trying to get to warmer weather. The government tries to keep power by instituting marshall law but all of it collapses when their efforts to bring the power back up fail. A few years later communial government system is developed after the constitution takes a few twists. China retakes Tiawan. Isreal wins the largest battle for their life and Russia is covered in Nuclear snow from their collapsed reactors.
The Youtube video BELOW was posted by Larry Haber, the attorney for John's Mother (who also handled the publishing of the book), at John's request. For that reason, I also consider the video as evidence. In the video (beginning at approximately 2:10 minutes), John references the 2 Faxes sent to Art Bell in 1998. IMO, it validates that John(s) sent Art Bell the Faxes, and that in turn validates that John made the statement about an upcoming Y2K disaster.
MY OWN INVOLVEMENT WITH Y2K
MY THEORY ABOUT JOHN CHANGING OUR HISTORY...AND Y2K
In 1998-2000 I was the Co-Founder of the Y2K Task Force in Humboldt County, CA and I received a recognition award Certificate from the President's Y2K Conversion Council for my efforts. (Someday I might scan the Certificate and post it here.) It was a high honor given to three of us in my county. So I'm somewhat knowledgeable on the Y2K problem that John referred to.
I am also a researcher. Over the years, I have researched the subject of John Titor extensively...more than anyone that I, personally, have ever met.
It is my opinion that John's trip to 1975 changed the outcome of Y2K on our Timeline. I believe that change started a chain reaction and that also deterred the course of a Civil War on our Timeline.
That is why I believe John was so interested in the 2000 Elections. (John's Mother wrote about this in the book.)
As a researcher, I have seen overwhelming evidence that both 2000 and 2004 Elections were stolen by G.W. Bush. However, most Americans on our Timeline were 'apathetic' and did nothing when those Elections were stolen. There was no civil uprising over G.W. Bush stealing two Presidential Elections.
I believe there was a much different outcome on John's Timeline when that happened. My theory is that after the Y2K disaster resulted in thousands of deaths on John's World Line, that disastrous event changed the character of Americans in his world. Americans no longer trusted the U.S. Government. They, in fact, mistrusted the U.S. Government and blamed the Government for not warning them about Y2K.
I theorize that the stolen Presidential Elections on John's World Line were most likely the basis and beginnings that sparked a 2nd Civil War in America. Whereas, on our World Line, people did nothing when the 2000 & 2004 Elections were stolen, so a Civil War did not take root here on our World Line.
That is part of how I believe John Titor's presence here changed our World Line. I believe his interaction with his Grandfather, when he informed him about an upcoming Y2K disaster and the cause, was the beginning of the changes. I think his Grandfather shared that information with other IBM Engineers and Programmers, and that information was passed on through the years until it reached our ears.
It began around 1992, some elderly Engineers appeared on 20/20 and other News Programs. (I personally saw this episode.) Engineers began informing the public about the potential upcoming Y2K disaster. A few years before the Year 2000, it became a great concern to some. The closer we got to Y2K, others picked up the cause and it escalated around 1998 until Task Forces and groups were formed like ours in Humboldt County and addressed the computer problems.
I believe that's how John changed the outcome of Y2K on our World Line.
There were some Y2K problems after the turn of the millennium, but they weren't noticed much. PG&E in Northern California didn't have their Y2K conversions completed, and for 6-9 months many people weren't billed, so suddenly they got a bill for hundreds of dollars (depending on how much gas and electricity they used during winter). PG&E didn't shut off their utilities for late bills, because everyone got these HUGE bills suddenly after months of getting none. It happened to my sons, who rented a house there.
JOHN'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE 2000 THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
November 11, 2000
Q: Are you here to observe the Presidential elections?
JOHN TITOR: I would use the word "elections" a bit cautiously. Perhaps it's easier now to see a civil war in your future?
NOTE FROM JOHN'S MOTHER: John was very upset during the elections and spent more time away from the house than at any other. He never gave any details about his feelings or actions during this period but I definitely had the impression he was trying to carry out some sort of plan having to do with the election. When it was over, he seemed more at ease.
IN ANOTHER POST...
Q: Why are you here?
JOHN TITOR: I am here for personal reasons. For a few months now, I have been trying to alert anyone that would listen to the possibility of a civil war in the United States in 2005. Does that seem more likely now? Actually it's quite amazing to see what's happening. I have been trying to get people to pay attention for the last few months but to see it unfold is very interesting. Before I leave, I'll try and post my report.
I am curious. Will anyone be upset if Florida's votes are not counted in the Electoral College because of the current "confusion"?
MY THEORY: I think this is when John realized his presence here that affected the outcome of Y2K becoming a non-event on our World Line, also led to the chain reaction of people becoming apathetic...and in turn prevented the spark that would have started a Civil War with the fraudulent 2000 Presidential Elections.
If I'm correct...then when John's mother said, "When it was over, he seemed more at ease", I think that was the moment when John just gave in to what he realized had happened.
PERHAPS SOMEDAY John Titor will return and tell us if I am right or wrong!
