Vanga The Predictor
Posted by Spiros Antonopoulos on February 8, 2006 - 7:53pm.
In Russia she is comparable only to Nostradamus. And for good reason: she predicted the Chernobyl disaster, the fall of the World Trade Center towers, the break-up of the USSR, Boris Yeltzin's election win, and even Joseph Stalin's death (with such uncanny accuracy that she was jailed for her a priori visions). She has since passed away, but Evangelia ‘Vanga' Dimitrova, or Baba Vanga as she was commonly known, continues to be the subject of rigorous scientific study by the secret service in Russia and elsewhere. Even Adolf Hitler was reported to have sought her consult—and allegedly left Vanga looking very unhappy.
In her home country of Bulgaria, the world's only publicly-announced, state-run parapsychology research institute in the 1960's was established—in part, to continually record and study the prophetess' daily activities and consults. Most of the details surrounding this work remains highly guarded, but the Bulgarian Research Institute for Suggestology does claim that Vanga would tune into “real futures” with more than 70% accuracy.
So what’s all the fuss? Why the continued interest and secrecy? Because many of her predictions of future have yet to come to pass. According to a recent article in Pravda (who have reported on Vanga before) the Russian secret service looks to her work to better prepare for coming disasters and terrorist attacks. While the article reviews many further passages from Vanga’s recorded legacy, it cites one particularly interesting, hopeful, and LIME-ish prediction by Vanga (dated 1960) —
“The trains will start flying in 2018. They will be powered by the Sun. Earth will take a rest since they will stop extracting oil.”

lets hope its before 2018, but even then would be better than not at all.
That's ridiculous. Even the most optimistic “greenie” would admit that's way sooner than we could possibly wean ourselves off of oil. If one looks at the amount of oil in the ground, even the most pessimistic of estimates gives us way more than a decades worth. It's true we may have peaked but that's just crazy talk to think we are 12 years from no more oil. Of course one could assume she means no functioning civilization will be around to pump oil as the Middle-East will be nothing but glass after a global thermo-nuclear war. That's probably the only plausible way we won't be pumping oil in 2018. Let's hope she is off by a few generations.
Reality has a way of fulfilling these prophesies in a creative way. No one guessed in 1980 that “kursk will be covered in water” meant the submarine, not the city (anyway, aren’t subs supposed to be covered with water?)
Likewise, were the twin towers the best guess for “American brethren?” attacked by “Steel birds”?
It’s too soon to tell what “the trains will start flying” really means.
At any rate she doesn’t say we will run out of oil, just that we will “stop extracting” it. She also doesn’t say for how long…
Let’s just be optimistic and hope she is right
