Ya know it's getting bad when we are looking up words in the dictionary hehe.

Timescholar, I agree. That was kind of my point; I realized your question as rhetorical, however I saw some dark humor in answering it :lol:, I'm slightly twisted that way :dry: .

When it comes to JT, I tend to look at everything on the whole . It really cracks me up when people are quick to either 'press' or 'dismiss' an issue because some factoid missed its potential mark by < 24 hours, or in this regard - attempting to hash out whether its 'near' or 'around' some specific event.

I say just let life happen and watch where the chips fall. If they keep falling in JT's direction, then we know what that probably means. If life goes down some road that leads nowhere near his predictions, then we also know what that probably means.

Que Sera Sera

On the other hand, whether the Waco type events were to gradually occur in 2004 was the actual question. Titor doesn't write that they will begin in a period of time keyed to the election, or in early 2005: these are not "factoids." And "near," as Titor used it casually, sounds more to me like "before" than "during" or "just after."

"Factoids" are fairly important, too, because, by not being sticklers about the details, we tend to bend the facts so that the predictions "come true" or so that Titor is proven to be a hoax, depending.

I agree. It may seem like an arbitrary thing, but the language used could be a real indicator of just what "John Titor" (real or hoax) meant. "Near" is a word that has a different meaning when it comes to time. A hammer can be near the toolshed and be anywhere close by; I think, as far as time is concerned, for an event to be near something that is scheduled to happen (the elections) it indicated that the event in question will happen before. Then again, the more I type about this the more confused I become....oops

Actually capitalism has very little to do with any of the above. Capitalism gets bashed by certain corners because of the profit motive involved. Without profit, there is no sustainable structure for an organization to operate. Socialism, communism, statist forms of govt. produce inefficient, bureaucratic and lower quality goods and services. The best environment is one that is unfettered by govt. bureacracy and regulation, one that is regulated by the \"market\".

I agree. I hear capitalism being bashed by a lot of my peers. They have no idea just what capitalism did for us. It brought us out of feudalism in the blink of an eye! After hundreds and hundreds of years with relatively no technological advances capitalism hits the scene and BOOM explosion of innovation. Of course there are any number of contributing factors, but capitalism was definitely an important one. That being said, capitalism is so out of control it is ridiculous. Reforms HAVE to be made. Problem is, most (if not all) of the people who have the power to change the system are the ones who benefit most from the current setup.

It is not that capatilism is out of controll. It is that big government and big corperations collude too much. Things like corperate welfare are interfereing with the natural flow of capatalism. We have kind of corperate socialism going on. I believe that is the dictonary definition of facism.

Very well put. Is it safe to say that currently the economic system/world trade is set up in such a way as it is easily controlled by governments/individuals?

I sometimes wonder if Corporate Welfare includes the 'package' that a CEO gets when he quits a corporation. You know, that Welfare payment of tens of millions.
If it was not for the consumer at the bottom of the food chain, that guy would be lucky to get the pen set from his desk and a plaque. Then the corporation does a nose dive. Yes Sir, some great job done by that guy. Or even better, they decide to sell all their stock options a few weeks before it goes south. I guess the higher you work the more precognative you become. Must be the coffee served in the board room. *cough*.

Maybe they have access to time machines. They know when stock is about to go bad, or when a certain plane may be flying into a certain tower's top floors. That way they know when to pull up their stake in those top floor dwelling companies and move on. Lucky for them the media rarely reports on it. Could it be because the media makes their money from corporations placing advertisements on their stations? Perhaps it is because CEOs and the like serve on boards for various sources of media itself? They all have their collective fingers in every cookie jar out there.

We better watch what we type, they may be here looking for new and better ways to time travel.

It is an interesting piece of information that, on that morning, the reports were that there must have been tens of thousands of people in the towers; and that this is what apparently Bin Laden himself believes. In other words, a question is raised about the actual number of people killed in the towers, and whether the figure has been concealed.

Well the insurance company that underwrote the policy for the buildings would know very intimately, wouldn't they.

Insurance companies! What was I thinking... of course, if an insurance company says that something is true, it must be. Sorry.

"I'm sure the total is accurate" because "people have families." Is this something anyone has really investigated, or are we taking the word of the news?

You remember the news: the ones who told us that Oswald was a lone gunman and that the Roswell saucer was a weather balloon. That Sirhan and Ruby acted alone; that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; that all of the Nixon tapes were released; that the documents couldn't be found for... oh never mind. Forget I said anything.

Where's my TV guide?
