Hello 2013 (Time Traveler from 2043)

[BlastTyrant]

You have drawn my attention, i am a believer that TT is just Science Fiction, Changing the past would have consequences that no one could foresee in the future so it would have to be a drastic measure to even attempt it.

BUT as most of us in here we all have little tips of knowledge no one else does no matter how much we try to explain we know it as real, for me i know ET intervention is real, i have not only seen it so have hundreds of others.

So i will chime in here a bit as i read this very interesting post.
ET intervention is a guarantee for me, i know it will happen just not when, i read earlier thanks to Sam that you said this does not happen, which i do find hard to believe as i have seen it.

Also, what Roll does Canada Play in your future?

There was an old radio show called Dr. Floyd. I had found a CD case with a lot of episodes in an abandoned house. Ellison is the name of my brother (not by blood) who had died.

1. Dr. H., as I knew him, was an elderly science fiction fan and a genius. He actually could be described as being a stereotypical mad scientist, but no fizzy white hair. He is eccentric. I don't know anything about who he was before I met him.
2. I've never actually seen Chicago. I wouldn't want to. I know that the East coast has been changed quite a bit by the tsunami. What exactly are you asking me?
3. I'm not sure how to answer this without adding a narrative describing everything in increased detail. Unless you just want a short list of places where major victories happened. I'll give a bit of both, but I'll post that later. This deserves it's own post.
4. I don't know what the question is.
5. I can post this later too. I would rather give this it's own post.
6. Directly or indirectly? Directly there is only 8 people involved as far as I know. Indirectly, we are pulling a lot of stings through the underground.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Liberty.

1. Start the day with stretching. I eat a medium sized breakfast. I then find out what the day's duties are. I do those duties. If I don't have duties, or if they are don't last long, then I have my day to myself. I do chores. I sometimes have a small lunch. If I feel we are in a secure place, I will often listen to my music or to an old radio show. If we were in an insecure area, I would read instead if I had a book to read. In the evenings, I would like to listen to people's stories, often around a medium sized dinner. It was a simple life really. Nomadic, so sometimes we would pick up all our stuff and move. With Dr. H., life would be more complicated. Nothing at the lab was really "average" and there was no regular schedule of any kind.
2. No, they aren't as common. Electric cars are what are mainly used.
3. Power consumption has decreased. The technology used in the device I mentioned earlier causes all computers to use less energy while at the same time being more powerful. At the same time, there are far less people using energy. A lot of the east coast of the U.S. runs on hydroelectric and nuclear. There are also effective fusion reactors alongside remaining fission reactors. Solar panels are used on a small scale, typically in rural unmanned areas.
4. Fukishima is an extinction-class event. It would have to be fixed.
5. Yes, they exist. They are not nearly as popular though. I guess a bit like how radio is today. Mostly, if you want to watch a show, you use the nets. Augmented reality yet again is used for entertainment and it mostly replaces the TV.
6. I don't know.
7. By ratio, more people eat organic. There is a decline in genetically modified foods.
8. Depends on region and class. The lower classes tend to still have fluoride.
9. There is nothing new in the world. It is the same struggle that has always existed, but there are always new players taking the stage and manifesting the struggle in a new light.
10. A chimera is a living creature that is not of a single species, but isn't really a hybrid either. A living creature made with parts from different species.
11. I do have a copy of the Bible and I have read pieces of it. It is one of the most influential books of western civilization and I need to know it better for when I get to 1840.

Well BlastTyrant, it is unforeseeable and that knowledge can be depressing, but on the other hand every action you make in the present has those same consequences.
I find the existence of an ET intervention as unlikely as you see TT. Fair enough?
If there are ET's out there, I don't see why they would want to intervene.
Canada follows America's lead. As far as I know, they stayed in the background of the world's events.

I wish you had streaming movies to watch on TV through Netflix. (It comes through a device, but I don't know what it's called. It costs a nominal monthly fee to access it.) There is a TV Series called Fringe that I think you would like. It has to do with a Parallel Universe. The main character, Dr. Walter Bishop might remind you of Dr. H.

Here's some clips with Walter. He's a genius with some abnormalities, and very complex, but you'd have to see the series to understand why.

11. I do have a copy of the Bible and I have read pieces of it. It is one of the most influential books of western civilization and I need to know it better for when I get to 1840.

We must talk about this sometime. It will be very interesting, I promise.

1. It is not technically illegal to own a Bible. They do actually appear on the market from time to time. I don't think it is safe to buy those, actually I'm sure of that. It could make you a target. However, most of them were collected for "archival purposes." Like I said, for the most part only state sponsored priests have access to them. You can certainly download a copy for a fee, but it is edited to suit their needs.

About them editing the Bible, there is a warning about that in Revelation 22:18-19, the final Chapter of the New Testament:

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.​

Does Texas play any significant role in your future? I know they have been fighting tooth and nail vs the Obama Dictatorship since Day 1.

So assuming Things went haywire, would Canada and Texas be safe havens?

Fair enough on the TT to ET intervention, we'll call it a draw

I would guess if anywhere is safe, it would have to be texas and oklahoma. Lots of rednecks with a hole lot of guns LOL and we control all the oil, and oil drilling, and oil rig repair parts LOL!

The revolution was not a singular movement, but many divided factions each working for different but often similar goals. Different factions often were divided by cultural and philosophical lines. Thus the revolution was different depending on regions. For example the people of Texas made use of their already existing state military and their idea of revolution was more like a coup. In central U.S. it was less professional. The coasts were bloodier.
I'll give you three victories and three defeats, that's all. These are the battles I know the most about.
Revolutionary Victories:
Randolph AFB. This victory was essential in giving the Texas Revolutionaries air dominance.
Worcester, MA. Revolutionaries took control of key roads.
Greenaboro, NC. Took control of roads and successfully set up a supply network.
Revolutionary Defeats:
Tucson, AZ. The defeat here allowed reinforcements into Texas setting off a wave of defeats.
Hampton, VA. Located in a dense military area, this place was hit hard.
Savannah, GA. While attempting to take control of the major roads leading out of Florida, the trifold plan fell at Savannah due to a Navy tactical strike.
I decided to write less about this then I intended. I'm sure that revealing information about battles could result in the outcomes being different. I don't want to harm this worldline by giving to muh information about this. I also don't want people to throw their lives away needlessly because I told them there would victory.

As for my life up until now, I will describe my life tomorrow if I have the time.

I wouldn't Dr. H. quite that eccentric, but I recognize that actor from the Lord of the Rings. He seems pretty crazy. Maybe I'll get start watching Fringe.

I tell you this, those bastards with the Oligarchy don't deserve to have a piece of the tree of life!

Well, BlastTyrant, I accept your draw. Initially, you could consider them safer than most places, but there isn't anywhere that is truly safe.

 

[BlastTyrant]

It is if nothing else a interesting story, Fake or Real, and i am enjoying reading it.

Does Minnesota play any role?

 

[Samstwitch]

Floyd, can you tell us what are the main reasons why the Revolutionaries were defeated? What were their weaknesses and/or strengths? Can you give any advice about the Revolution to help us in the future?

 

[Orpheus Rex]

I think your story is BS; I'll be nice and keep an open mind though. I can't consider you a fraud until I find a significant hole in your plot, nor will I accept your story as fact until I have significant proof. I require photos. I understand why you might be hesitant to post, but it would be the only way to convince me. And don't bother with photoshop either, I will have them checked for it.
You have a lot more to explain.

...decades and convince a certain John Booth and fellow conspirators to not kill Lincoln...

How do you know who "John Booth" is if you are supposedly uneducated about that period of time?

Yes, the Twin Towers were destroyed in my world line by Islamic fundamentalists in honor of their dead leader.

Who was the dead leader and how did he die?
You are trying to go back in time in your own world line. This is a violation of causality. Explain how.
What exactly is this device/technology? Why do you keep switching between the two terms? Did Samstwitch call you out on your initial story?
You claim to be a revolutionary, yet you accuse leaders of the "freedom movement" of becoming tyrants, why? Is it because you want to cast doubt on their convictions effectively before the next election?
What does your username mean?

My cell sent me to Dr. H. at that time.

If you are such an important time traveler, why were you sent to Dr. H.? Wouldn't they send people as an escort?
What was the strategic significance of Hampton VA?
When did you see Lord of the Rings? And did you see the extended versions? Why would you have time for that if your life is such a struggle?
Why did you tell us about how you killed that guard?
What is your relationship to Andy?
What is your relationship to Phil?
What are the names other people in your cell?
Have you ever been incarcerated?

They wanted more money because they thought it was drug related. I smiled, I assured them it wasn't, talked a bit about family values, and offered them a reasonable price, insisted upon it really. But we got to a reasonable deal.

Did you threaten the guy's family? How does such behavior reflect well on the revolution, seriously!?!
This is only wave numero 1 of my questions! Mwahaha! I will expose you for what you are!
