Hey guys, I'm from the Rest of the World. Just checking in to see if you've fixed that issue where you made Donald Juche Trump your president instead of a regular president person?

No? Oh ok, LOL what a mess!

Let us know when you've got it sorted. Thx.

Edit:

This 9 minute little podcast extra made me bring it up. It's just the basic story. No time machine chat or anything. I like the way this guy does his podcast with the ambient tunes in the background. Fun to listen to stories about time slips and ghosts and poo poo instead of real world depressing stuff. It's basically just the chatlog of John's most famous (I think) chatroom conversation.

There's a wiki article. Some of the stuff is really neat, I have a feeling the old Titor saga was probably written by someone who knows or was an IBM engineer:

That's a nearly year old article about the (Nobel Peace Prize winning) guy who predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He predicts the collapse of the United States empire by 2025.

quote:

Galtung has also accurately predicted the 1978 Iranian revolution; the Tiananmen Square uprising of 1989 in China; the economic crises of 1987, 2008 and 2011; and even the 9/11 attacks—among other events, according to the late Dietrich Fischer, academic director of the European University Center for Peace Studies.

I was going to say I was sceptical of this mans predictive power because he should be a billionaire if he was so right all the time , but he actually sounds quite reasonable with a well thought out hypothesis

Though in fairness a lot of the predictions that the fall of the United States is coming any day now for the past few decades have been built almost entirely on wishful thinking, whether their own or others. Until Donald Trump, there wasn't an active force undermining the power of the United States; more a very gentle drip of things that might have had impact.

That ball has been rolling for quite some time now. But if I had to pick a single moment that historians will look back on and say "on this day America lost it's power in the international community and the decline of the American empire officially began" it would be next week when Trump tears up the Iran deal.
