The Baba Vanga prophesy

realitykeeper

Occasionally prophesies by mystics or religious prophets ring true and this may be because they are often vague and not specific to a definite time or place. Still, when current world events begin to align with such prophecies with uncanny accuracy it is intriguing.

For example, the blind Bulgarian mystic - Baba Vanga, once predicted that the "exploiters will become the exploited" referring to wealthy nations exploiting poor nations. It is well known that after colonialism, the wealthy countries exploited African countries to acquire commodities cheaply and they used various means to do this. Probably the most effective method of strong arming the goods at rock bottom prices was the use of regional trade blocks setting the rules and disparate African countries had little choice but to comply.

Recently however, we have seen the effect of mass migration on the European Union, i.e. border controls between friendly nations right across the EU, even as far north as Denmark - Sweden. Then there was Brexit and now talk of other countries holding similar referendums.

Meanwhile, in the recent AU summit, all the talk was of African unity. A single African passport within 5 years, the need for African countries to begin trading with each other and the merging of the newly emerging African trade blocks.

If Africa unites and the European Union breaks apart, then a game changer is afoot. In unity there is strength and a fragmented Europe will become vulnerable to exploitation.

questionmark?

Many if not most African nations can't feed their own people without outside help, educate their citizens or form stable governments(yes there is exceptions). For Africa to unite, the countries within it have to unite first and get the basics right. Unfortunately a successful Africa won't be seen in my life time. Europe and in particular the EU may not have long to go before breaking up but that doesn't mean the kind of instability that would lead to no food, education or government without outside help like Africa.

Also it should be noted that the peoples, tribes, cultures, languages etc. within Africa are far more diverse than those within Europe. It would be some job uniting them in any meaningful way.

Here we go again.

Baba also forecast that Barry o' Barma would be the last sitting president.
A full suspension of the current us election mightn't be as far fetched as it sounds,
what with the diverse public opinion between the two candidates.

This is literally the most cleverly disguised anti-migrant threat I've ever seen. Well played sir, well played indeed

... but there are other developments to support the theory of exploiters becoming the exploited. For example, there was the whole issue of the US and Europe outsourcing low paying manufacturing jobs to the third world. I use the past tense because nowadays it is not just low paid jobs but also cutting edge technology manufacturing.

What is interesting is how perceptions of this outsourcing vary. For example, when it first started happening I recall thinking the whole idea was generous to the point of madness. Low paid manufacturing jobs were a vital component of the western economies. The west needed those jobs for so many reasons and yet people in the west talk instead of western companies exploiting low paid workers in the third world.

Those jobs were needed in the west to prevent over heating the economies with bubble fueled service sector jobs. Low paid manufacturing was needed for our low skilled workers (there will always be plenty of those). Low paid jobs were needed here to take people off the dole.

Nobody in the third world was dragged kicking and screaming into those factories, they went willingly and for good reason. They could see such jobs as a stepping stone to greater wealth down the road for themselves and their kids. They were right and now their is nothing but hot air and funny money from the central banks propping up western economies.

I fear the world is about to become very interesting in the not too distant future.

No its called the shotgun method, they predict enough random garbage eventually some of it is bound to line up to make them look like they know what they are talking about.

Go and look at the full list of her "prophecies" and see how many turned out to be complete trash
