If you know something, think something, if it sits in you and burns in the prison of callous disbelief, please tell me.

I won't promise I'll believe you, I can't prove I'll understand, but I will treat it with all the care and attention that should belong to such a daring gift.

Please.

Tell me what no one else will believe.

I saw a Jew shed its skin and speak to the senior Zion council about engineering a massacre in the Middle East that would create the sacrifices needed to open the Portal to New Jerusalem.

The only reason they didn't catch me was because I cloaked myself beneath a screen of sales and discounts.

But we need to gear up for the war effort. Conventional body armor is useless, since they can conjure up Thetans to invade our minds, so we need tinfoil to block out their eldritch magicks.

...but you didn't hear it from me.

Ah Jesus is just competition for Satan, he doesn't like undead people, he prefers the bad people, not necessarily dead ones. It gets very confusing when one is undead and bad.

I am an operative from a future time which has sent me back to witness the most cataclysmic event in history. I am not at liberty to discuss it, but one day I will board my timeship to safely return to the future just before the event, so when you notice I've stopped posting, it's time to grab your ankles...

I'll tell you a little about where I'm from. I'm from the 3rd planet in the Tau Ceti system, where I was born and raised in the early 32nd Century. Tau Ceti III is also known as 'New Athens' because it was initially founded as the sort of interstellar equivalent of a city-state and naming them after ancient Greek city-states was all the rage. That was in the late 27th Century, after humanity had mostly recovered from the cataclysm.

I was educated there and went on to Alpha Centauri AII (AKA New Corinth) for training in advanced infiltration, cultural studies and historical coursework. This was to prepare me for this mission.

I left home in the year 3164 and arrived here in the year 1992. My research was to gather historical and cultural data for a fixed number of years leading up to the cataclysm. Other agents are covering other timespans.

You people of this time are fascinating, just so you know. A bit narrowminded but that's understandable given your limited perspectives. I mean no offense, but surely you can understand why someone from a millenium in the future might find many of the things held as so critical in this culture to be quaint and a little backward.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. None of you will survive the cataclysm so I can reply honestly without disruption of the historical timeline. Th eonly questions I can't answer relate to the exact date of the cataclysm. Such knowledge could affect the timeline so I'm sure you can see why I have to keep quiet about it.

Thanks, but I have no god=brain. Only one that has the insight of 1200 years more history.

1)Like you. I walk freely among the people of 2008 and nobody's seemed to notice a difference.
2)Can't tell you.
3)Very well. The perk is that I will return to my own timeline only 1 minute later than I left it. This means I get my commission for the job without taking any 'real' time out of my life. In fact, these trips are considered very hazardous as well as requiring a great deal of skill and education, and one could reasonably live on the income from a single mission for the rest of their life. This is actually my second. My first was to observe conditions immediately after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire as it's a very poorly documented period in history. With the income of the two I plan to buy a beach house on a beautiful world orbiting a star in the large Magellanic Cloud. I've already selected the property. When you look out over the ocean at dusk during the summer, you can watch the galaxy rise and it takes up almost 156 degrees of horiszon... Talk about breathtaking! It's almost as bright as day...

Thanks, but I have no god=brain. Only one that has the insight of 1200 years more history.
3 My first was to observe conditions immediately after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire as it's a very poorly documented period in history.

What happened post collapse? Was it really as chaotic as most history books claim or was there some order to it?

Oh and I am the eggman and the walrus.

Does it lead to a wintry forest?
we aren't sure where it leads, we only know what comes through to see us.

There was some order but mostly due to the infrastructure being held together by the Church. It exercised just enough influence and stability to provide a foundation for the nations that followed.

Of course, my own perspective was limited by geography and the incomprehensibly slow travel time!

I have a proof of the Riemann Hypothosis, but space does not permit its inclusion in this post.

along the lines of faceless horrors from another dimension, who can only be kept away by playing the viola?

and for faceless horrors read "toddlers"

Also, 32nd Century Guy: Does any of this time travelling take years off your expected lifespan? For instance, if the average where you come from is 500 years, and you spend 100 years in the past; even though you will return to one minute after you left, will you then only be expected to live to the age of 400?
(And I want your job. Being able to go back and actually witness pivotal points in history would be awesome! Of course, there's already fiction on the subject, but it's not quite the same.)

That's right, since my frame of reference is still the same no matter what centuries I spend them in.

It can be both good and bad. For instance, if you ever had illusions about particular historical figures, they can be shattered utterly by real life encounters.

Higher power, yeah, pretty much no one will believe that. 2 gorgeous male slaves, your teen body and 18 million bucks could happen though.:D
