Vanga predicted:
Assassination attempts in 2008
I have searched the inet and have found two slightly differing interpretations of what Vanga stated exactly in this prediction of hers as follows:
Quote:
2008 - Assassination attempts on four heads of states during conflict in Indonesia. That becomes one of the causes for the start of WWIII.
2008 - Baba Vanga speaks of conflicts in "Indonesia" leading to the upcoming WWIII, but I've seen some people say that Indonesia had been mistranslated and it's meant to read "India". This will also involve the attempted assassinations of 4 heads of state.
So I will include such occurrences that happened a year either side of 2008 as she has already exhibited that her predictions are not always ‘precise on the year she states they will occur’. With such things, if they occur one year either side of there predicted timeframe, that is by no reason for them to be out ruled as erroneous altogether. When predicting something short term, as is a decade or two in advance, most would agree that a tolerance factor of 1 year is quite good. When predicting something medium term, as in 1 or more centuries in advance, a tolerance factor of 10 years is quite good. Equally so when predicting something long term, as in 1 more millenniums in advance, a tolerance factor of 50 years would be good and a tolerance of 100years could also be acceptable.
Now in this prediction generally, there is no reference made to the direct linking of assassination attempts or the conflict in either Indonesia or India. It that I mean we cannot concisely imply that the assassinations or the conflict are events that occur as a result of one leading onto another, or that one has direct relevance or bearing on the other. All we can conclude is that they will both occur and that either one or the other or BOTH will be 'some kind of catalyst' or have 'some kind of bearing' on the onset of what will be generally considered by future generations as the start of WWIII. Keeping in mind that events like world wars are never something that can be started on an exact date or point in time, they are something that takes years to reach and can often be seen to begin long before their main thrust has impacted. WW2 did not technically begin exactly in the year of 1940 nor did the first in 1915. Conflicts and fighting had commenced in both, years before their official establishment date or year, and continued for long after their official year of cessation. Many believe that WWI never really ended till the commencement of WWII, as do also believe that WWII is still going on to this day, and as others believe that WWIII commenced in 1987 with the coup of the then exiled Ayatollah of Iran in France or with the occurrence of 911. But in all those cases that is not what the worldwide majority believe, irrespective to the fact that they only believe what they are told. What has relevance in this case though is that Vanga referred to the end of the first 2 world wars as being that which is commonly known or believed, as she has made inference to this in other talks of hers. So it would therefore be safe to say that her understanding and belief of the beginning of WWIII would be that which the masses 'or general consensus' will be in future, as it would be shown to be the year that the main thrust of its existence commenced or that official documents were signed to the effect. The scopes of her predictions are long term and as such would no doubt structure them using terminologies that will be relevant long after our time.
The following politically motivated events occurred in 2008.
Assassination attempt on 2 Heads of State:
Rebel East Timorese soldiers invaded the homes of the President and Prime Minister of East Timor on February 11, 2008, leading to the shooting and serious wounding of President José Ramos-Horta, the shooting up of the car of Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão, and the fatal shooting of rebel leader Alfredo Reinado. Gusmão was born to mestiço school teacher parents in Manatuto and attended a Jesuit high school just outside of Dili.
1 assassination attempt:
On Tuesday July 15th 2008, Mideast envoy Tony Blair called off what would have been the first visit of a top Western diplomat to Hamas-ruled Gaza, after Israel's Shin Bet security service received "pinpointed and imminent" intelligence that there was going to be an assassination attempt on his life.
1 plot in preparation for an assassination attempt:
On August 26th 2008, four people are under arrest in connection with a plot to assassinate Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver.
The following occurred in 2007:
1 assassination attempt:
On February 27, 2007, at about 10 a.m., a suicide bomber killed 23 people and wounded 20 more outside Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during a visit by Cheney. Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the attack and said Cheney was its intended target.
1 assassination attempt:
On October 18th 2007 bombs exploded alongside a road in Karachi Pakistan as the convoy of former Prime Minister Bhutto passed by. Many people were killed and there were also a number of injuries. The assassination attempt was condemned by the White House, the United Pakistan Assassination Attempt Kills over 100 People.
1 assassination:
On Thursday 27th December 2007 Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a suicide attack.
So if we look at the prediction from the Indonesian perspective, we have 4 assassination attempts of relevance that took place, and if we look at the prediction from the Indian perspective, we also have 4 separate assassination attempts of relevance that took place. Not forgetting that Pakistan is well within the Indian region and has in fact being in conflict with India for a long time. I would therefore tend to lend more weight to the latter perspective as it has more relevance than the first given that the Pakistan attempt was historically denoted by being followed up with a successful assassination on the same person.
It would be reasonably safe to once again conclude that this was not an erroneous or chanced prediction irrespective as to the exact meaning of Vanga's regional inference as it essentially covers both, and she may have not totally clarified the situation knowing somehow that what she said was enough to establish its being and main validity when the time was right.
Given all this, I would personally find it hard to say that she is an outright hoax.
I would like to add that total and undisputable proof of Vanga's psychic integrity, as with any seer, will be left in the hands of time. Luckily for us in this case, all we need do is wait for a couple of years, as per the two successive predictions she made after the last one I mentioned:
Quote:
2010 - The start of WWIII. The war will begin in November of 2010 and will end in October of 2014. Will start as a normal war, then will include usage of nuclear and chemical weapons.
2011 - Due to the radioactive showers in Northern Hemisphere - no animals or plants will be left. Muslims will begin chemical war against Europeans who are still alive.
