    It depends on how far back you go and who you contact about he incident and the evidence to solidify the claim. 9/11 could have been stopped relatively easily with a few days notice to national security. The air force could have shot both planes out of the sky. Just call the civilian deaths a tragic casalty of terrorism and use it to help fuel the war. The twin towers could have been shut down that day.

    But you’ve gotta materialize right in front of the commander in chief, bring a mountain of carbon datable evidence like news papers and original classified docs, and hope that you don’t get brained on the spot before you make your case.

    As for covid, you probably can’t stop it but maybe better warn and prepare world governments so they can get their population ready through subtle conditioning like trying to get wearing mask be a fashon trend or advertising bidets heavily as the new rich yuppie thing to show as a status symbol.

      Scientists have been talking about a big pandemic for years before Covid. Nobody cared. If I ever get to time travel, I’ll use it for personal gain. That’s the only way something good’ll come out of it.

      Bringing evidence from the future is cheating. They wouldn’t believe you if you told them the truth but if you say you are a terrorist and placed a bomb in the world trade center, they might evacuate it

        Cheating? I didn’t think there were rules covering time-based warfare. Damn. Wheres the fun if you can’t cause some temporal paradoxes and get a few people stuck in Groundhog Day scenarios. Where’s the freedom?

      You dont notify the government directly, you notify the news desks of MSNBC, Fox, ABC and the major newspapers. Do it via express postage envelopes a few days out, include any publicly available info on hijackers, flight numbers and times.

      The Government might ignore it as a hoax, but not if they know that the information has come via every major news outlet in the country. They have to act.
