John says that he is from the year 2036 and was sent back to 1975 from a military base in Tampa. He was born in 1998, so that means he is 10, he said that a WW3 will be started in the 2010s and that a Civil War will start in the US, but there hasn't been one yet. He describes people in 2036 as being religious, and close knit. There was a war that killed 3 billion people and we make our own foods.

I don't know what to think about this, what do you think? Could he really be from the future?

Someone should kill him to offset his destiny and ultimately all of the events he has foretold.

The most immediate of Titor's predictions was of an upcoming civil war in the United States having to do with "order and rights".[9] He described it as beginning in 2004,[10] with civil unrest surrounding the United States presidential election, 2004. This civil conflict that he characterizes as "having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse"[11] will be "pretty much at everyone's doorstep"[12] and erupts by 2008. ---WIkipedia

A "real" time traverer would not say things like "by 2008". He would know the exact day, to the best of his recollection, of specific events. He would name the presidents elected in 04 and 08, which any school child could have done. Unless he was being intentionally coy, whick would be an odd posture for a person miraculously in posession of something as rare as a time machine.

What are the chances that a person with a time machine would go back to a time when a technology was suddenly emerging in which he could anonymously post his "knowledge" instantaneously to everyone in the world without anyone being able to verify or challenge him?

"The truth is out there"

But 'John Titor' has nothing to do with it.
