‘Time traveller’ from 2045 names future US president
YouTube personality also claims humans will contact aliens by 2028
A self-proclaimed “time traveller” who claims to have arrived from the year 2045 says the granddaughter of Martin Luther King will become US president.
Adam Archon has shared a number of events due to happen in the future, starting this year, on his YouTube channel, in what the Daily Express calls “an incredibly bizarre time travel confession tape”.
In the video, which went viral after being shared by conspiracy channel ApexTV, the time traveller revealed that the “last formal US President”, will be Yolanda Renee King.

He also said that King, currently 10 years old, would be regarded as the greatest US president in history. The Daily Star notes that Yolanda “rose to public prominence after giving a speech during the March for our Lives event in Washington DC, last year”.
Archon added that the existence of aliens will become public knowledge in 2028.
“In 2028, the existence of aliens is revealed to the public while they do not say where they are from, it is not from space,” he said. For good measure, he added: “There will also be a single digital currency, there will be no cash.”
Archon agreed to take a lie detector test for ApexTV. The Daily Dot says he reportedly “answered truthfully when saying he’s from 2045, that he has a chip implanted in his hand to facilitate time travel, that aliens land on Earth in 2028, and that humans begin to converge with robots in 2045”.
However, it notes that “ApexTV is not a trusted news source—it’s a widely popular YouTube channel that’s rolled up millions of views with its entertaining tall tales about time travel”.
An earlier article by the site reports that time travellers appearing on the channel is nothing new.
“There are plenty of other supposed time travellers who want to talk about their journeys,” it says. “They’re approaching ApexTV for coverage and exposure even though they want their faces pixelated and their voices modified. They claim to have traveled through time. They claim to have proof. They are, of course, full of it.”
