As if we didn’t already have enough, now all our evils are combined into one: “It is the end of the world as we know it,” Baba Vanga warned.
2024 hasn’t exactly been a bed of roses so far. The devastating earthquake in Japan… The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas continue… The continued rise of the far right (despite a positive respite with the recent elections british y French)… The death of Alexei Navalnyi…And let’s not forget how bad ‘Madame Web’ was and that Kayne West is still putting out music.
We could continue, and we still have to see the american elections of “two old men in an old man’s war”, as well as the constant threat of increasingly powerful AI models that extend beyond the control of humans and governments.
Now, the legendary blind fortune teller My father has revealed that The end of times will begin in 2025. More specifically, that the beginning of our destruction will begin next year with a conflict in Europe that will devastate the continent’s population. It will be the starting signal for events that will finally culminate in our downfall.
In other words: 2025 will be the beginning of our end
For those who have never heard of her, Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova, popularly known as Baba Vanga or “Nostradamus of the Balkans”, was born in 1911 and had supposed prophetic gifts.
Blind since childhood, the Bulgarian clairvoyant seemed capable of seeing the future, “powers” that she attributed to a tornado that left her blind. These skills of hers became known in the midst of World War II, and people such as Bulgarian Tsar Boris III and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev consulted her in person.
He died in 1996 and has since become a cult figure among believers in divination and, as you can imagine, among conspiracy theorists.
Apparently, many of his predictions have been fulfilled long after his death. For example, Baba Vanga is said to have predicted the death of Princess Diana, the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He even predicted his own death on August 11, 1996, at the age of 85.
Of course, many of the predictions attributed to him cannot be authenticated, as they are based on second-hand accounts.
Although the mystic no longer exists, he made predictions for all years up to 5079.
Lucky us, or not, because it has already done seven prophecies for 2024none of them particularly comforting (aside from an attempted assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin by a compatriot).
Baba Vanga Predictions
Here are the famous blind mystic’s latest predictions: her chronology of our demise, so to speak:
2025: War in Europe
The event that will trigger the demise of humanity will be an unspecified conflict in Europe that will decimate the continent’s population.
2028: The exploration of Venus
Humans will begin to explore Venus as a source of energy. (It should be noted that the second planet from the Sun is inhospitable and nothing can grow there.)
ADVERTISING2033: Melting of the polar caps
Baba Vanga is said to have predicted that the polar ice caps will melt, raising sea levels to drastic heights around the world.
2076: The return of communism
Communism will spread throughout the world.
ADVERTISING2130: First contact
Humans will supposedly establish contact with aliens, thus confirming that The X-Files were right all along.
2170: Global drought
Climate change will continue to ravage the planet and drought will devastate much of the world.
ADVERTISING3005: The Martian War
Earth will go to war with a civilization from Mars. There is no further information on who fired the starting signal, but we’re betting it’s probably us and not the Martians. We’re not the friendliest species, let’s face it.
3797: The End of the World – Part I
The Earth will no longer be able to support life, which means that humans who survived the Martian war will have to leave the Earth because it has become uninhabitable.
ADVERTISING5079: The End of the World – Part II (This Time for Real)
The end of everything. The big end. World’s End.
There we have it.
As noted, not many of the predictions attributed to her can be authenticated, and Vanga was far from infallible, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
ADVERTISINGGot some rightbut he also predicted that a large nuclear power plant was going to explode last year and that the Earth would be hit by a devastating solar storm… So we avoided those catastrophes.
It’s also worth mentioning that when it comes to predictions about our future, Vanga is not alone. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists also announces an annual estimate with its Doomsday Clockwhich this year set its sights on 90 seconds to midnight. For second consecutive Year. It is the closest it has been to midnight in the history of the clock. Not very reassuring, is it?
All we can do now is hope that Baba Vanga’s catastrophic visions are wrongthat we finally wake up and learn to live together focusing on what unites us instead of what separates us. And not piss off any Martians, naturally.
If not, get ready for next year, it’s going to be very busy.
