This is an interesting topic that appeared on this forum. The past few weeks I have been reading articles about Someone who went by the name John Titor.

I found the story thought provoking and strange. Many small points made it seem real or one of the greatest Hoax's of our time.
Essentially John Titor indicates that a civil war starts in america about now and you can recognize the enemy because they arrest people and you never hear from them again. Just strange that this topic shows up at the same time that I am wondering about this John Titor fellow.
I think we now have a pretty big chance of federal abuse of power right now than at any time in our history. The first Civil war in america was at the start fought because of states rights. The idea that the power of the federal government over the power of the states was supreme. At any rate read the John Titor story and tell me what you think.
