There have always been so-called 'mystics' who've claimed to see into the future; and just occasionally they get things right; they HAVE TO once in a while.
Baba Vanga, was seen by many to be the modern Nostradamus, and she was taken very seriously by those who believe in such things; and she still is. She certainly looked the part.
Most predictions are usually very vague, as with daily horoscopes, and can be interpreted to mean almost anything (As the Delphic Oracle once noted, 'A great army will win today's battle, etc').
Vanga has apparently announced that during 2026, WW3 will begin, that humanity will suffer a terrifying change, and that AI will cause havoc.
Personally I am a total sceptic. Vanga, who was from Bulgaria, died back in 1996 and even though people do claim that she has always been accurate, I have yet to see any firm evidence.
It is a strange thought, that if she is right about WW3, it will have been the fault of just one man; Putin. Just one Russian megalomaniac could possibly cause so much trouble for over 8 Billion people; why has he not been eliminated?
With just four months left of this year, it'll be interesting to see how accurate Baba Vanga really was. My fingers are crossed that she was wrong.
I think it is complete and utter rubbish. People do believe the strangest things.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. It's just another way of trying to make money out of the gullible.
DeleteSpot on Cro, people peddle all sorts of nonsense to get money out of the gullible. The really clever ones dress it up as saying they are “truth seekers” and convince their gullible followers that they are now “wide awake” because they have seen the light.
DeleteDon't hold your breath! I remember reading her predictions 4 or 5 years ago. She was predicting WW3 to start back then. I read other dire warnings, none of which came true.
ReplyDeleteAfter the event anyone can interpret her predictions and twist them to suit the occasion.
Utter rubbish as Traveller says. And so is Nostradamus
Yes. It amazes me that people take any notice of these people. We can all predict things, and if they come true we can claim to be clairvoyant. It's all nonsense.
DeleteShe looks quite formidable and I'm sure she could really see into the future.
ReplyDeleteWe are off shopping today to buy a camping gas stove and to stock up on tinned food ... just in case.
I predict that it will be a nice day, and all the shops will be open!
DeleteMuch as I think Putin is evil, surely the one man who could cause WW3 is Trump
ReplyDeleteI tend to think of both the Russian and Iranian regimes as being much more evil that the USA. The USA may get things wrong, but they're not instigators of evil.
DeleteI thought that Baba Vanga was a suburb of Timbuktu in Mali. Now I predict that I was wrong. I rather fear that if Putin and Trump dropped dead on the same glorious day, there would be new monsters to replace them.
ReplyDeleteSadly that is true. We need more peace-loving leaders in the world, otherwise it could be disastrous.
DeleteIt's such a pity that these so-called "Mystics" can't predict something good for a change. Why is it all doom and gloom? How about a nice weather forecast, or good news for everyone with poor health - and getting it right?
ReplyDeleteThe demise of Putin and his henchmen, the Orange Blob and his followers and that fat little fellow in N. Korea, would also be splendid news if the predictions were correct.
Coppa's Girl
Doom-n-gloom has more appeal. I suppose we expect good things to happen every day, but WW3 is more shocking, and grabs people's attention.
DeleteIt's such a pity that these
ReplyDeleteDid you just fall off your chair???
DeleteFor once I am on the same page as Traveller. People are like blotting paper. They will soak up anything, no matter how preposterous is the fake vaccine, the fake climate crisis, and the fake invasion. The Globalists run the show. End of.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is a classic case; some people will believe anything.
