"I Came from the Future"... From John Titor to Illuminati Cards, the Reality of Conspiracy Theories

A video has been released that explores the boundaries between truth and falsehood through conspiracy theories and mysterious incidents that have shaken the world. The video covers everything from the prophecy controversy surrounding the 'Illuminati Cards' consisting of 526 cards to the issue of gold bar storage at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and cases of individuals who claimed to be time travelers.

Prophecy contained in 526 cards, or sophisticated coincidence?

The 'Illuminati Cards' released by Steve Jackson Games in 1994 were once ignored for being too difficult and complex due to their massive composition of 526 cards. However, they began to attract attention as it became known that certain cards contained images similar to actual events. In the video, images reminiscent of the Twin Towers or cards depicting the relationships between political figures were mentioned. In particular, depictions such as Hillary Clinton appearing to hold Clinton's leash, a bird reminiscent of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and cards dealing with highly lethal superbugs were presented as examples of prophecies. Additionally, it was presented as a point that raises questions about the accuracy of the prophecies that a tattoo on the arm of stage protagonist Jason Aldean matched the corresponding card during the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.

Regarding this, the video introduced an anecdote that the developer created them based on information obtained by hacking the websites of past secret societies. It included the content that they were released in 1994 after many ups and downs, including government secret agents raiding and seizing the cards and undergoing legal battles. Whether this was a meticulous plan or a device for noise marketing remains a mystery.

6,200 tons of gold bars sleeping in a 24m deep vault in New York

Questions regarding the amount of gold stored in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a symbol of the US economy, were also addressed. According to the video, the vault located 24m underground in New York is known to store approximately 6,200 tons of gold. This figure accounts for about 30% of the world's gold reserves, making up a significant portion of the total 200,000 tons of gold existing on Earth. The historical context of European gold flowing into the United States after World War II was mentioned.

The video mentioned that there is a tour program where ordinary people can view the gold bars for a limited time after making a reservation. After passing through security checkpoints, the tour provides about 5 minutes, and it is even possible to lightly touch the gold bars. However, the difficulty of verifying whether that much gold is actually stored was pointed out. The strong security system, where there is only one entrance to the vault and even the elevator going down to the vault is remotely controlled, serves as the background for why these conspiracy theories persist.

John Titor and 1940s photos, the romance and questions of time travel

Cases of individuals who claimed to travel through time were also introduced. 'John Titor', who appeared on an internet forum in 2000 and claimed to have come from 2036, drew attention by revealing blueprints of a time machine and mentioning future events such as the Iraq War. He claimed that the IBM 5100, a portable computer model of that time, was absolutely necessary to solve problems occurring in 2038. He claimed to have appeared in November 2000 and left in March 2001.

Furthermore, cases raising the possibility of time travel were mentioned, pointing out that individuals in photos presumed to be from the 1940s show modern fashion and styles. Despite being a photo from the 1940s, the individual in question was wearing sunglasses, and it was confirmed that the group uniform of the Montreal Maroons ice hockey team at the time included an M-shaped mark. The video connects humanity's romance and mystery regarding time travel by questioning whether the claims of these individuals match actual records or are simply fiction.
