BABA BLOOPER

Is blind mystic Baba Vanga one year out? She ‘predicted’ Bashar al-Assad chemical attack would take place in 2016

THE blind mystic who conspiracy theorists believe foretold 9/11, Brexit and the birth of ISIS could have been out by just a year with her predictions.

Bulgarian pensioner Baba Vanga is also believed to have warned of the Boxing Day tsunami - and now theorists reckon she predicted the Syrian chemical attacks.

Before her death in 1996 Vanga said “Muslims would use chemical warfare against Europeans” in the year 2016.

The premonition is eerily similar to last month's alleged sarin attack carried out dictator Bashar al-Assad on his own people.

It also raises the prospect that Vanga could have been a year out with her haunting projections all along.

Worryingly, she also foretold of World War Three - a fear raised in light of tensions between the US, Russia, North Korea and China.

Bulgaria-born Vanga, who died in 1996 aged 85, was known as “Nostradamus from the Balkans”.

She is believed to have an 85 per cent success rate when it comes to her predictions, so she’s long been revered in Russia as a kind of supernatural saint.

FROM ‘ILLITERATE’ VILLAGE GIRL TO APOCALYPTIC ANGEL

– Baba Vanga was born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova in Strumica, a village located at the foot of a volcanic mountain range in what was then the Ottoman
Empire
– She led an ordinary life up until the age of 12, when she mysteriously lost her eyesight during a massive storm — described by some as a freak tornado
– According to folklore, the youngster was flung into the air and then dashed to the ground by a powerful gust of wind
– What happened next is murky but her family reportedly found her close to death several days later, her injured eyes sealed shut and encrusted with a thick layer of dust and dirt.
– Vanga later stated that she had experienced her first vision during the days she was missing and believed she had been instilled with the ability to heal people and predict the future
– She was able to convince others of her paranormal powers and quickly developed a cult following

Many became convinced of her powers after the rise of ISIS - claiming she had posthumously forewarned of the terror group.

Some also believe that Baba predicted Brexit, as she warned that Europe as we know it will “cease to exist” by the end of this year.

Worryingly, the blind mystic claims that the continent will be left “almost empty” and be turned into a “wasteland almost entirely devoid of any form of life”.

Remarkably, Baba Vanga correctly predicted that the 44th US president would be black.

Recently, theorists insisted that Baba forewarned a 2016 invasion of Europe by Muslim extremists, a conflict she predicted would begin with the Arab Spring in 2010.

Another prediction that left conspiracy theorists convinced was a 1989 warning that had similarities to the 9/11 terrorist attack on the US.

She said: “Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds.

“The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.”

Some claim that the “steel birds” represent the planes that were deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers, causing “innocent blood” to be lost.
