Speaker 1: All right, folks, settle in for this one. What if
the future isn't something we're racing toward, but something that's
already been seen. What if the warnings we dismiss as
superstition are actually echoes rippling forward through time. Well, tonight
we're stepping into the life and visions of a woman
who could not see the world with her own eyes,
yet claim to see the world as it would become.
Our name was Boba Vanga, and according to her, in
twenty twenty six is not just another year. It's a threshold.
And whether you believe a word of it or not,
I promise you this. By the end of this episode,
you are going to understand why people listened to a
sclamer to the pharisees cairns out there, Oh dare you?
All guests only show do not reflect the opinions of
the host. The purpose of the show is to have
interesting conversations, stretch our minds and.
Speaker 2: Grow, not what we want.
Speaker 1: If you are looking for an echo chamber viewer and
listener discretion, he's adborged.
Speaker 3: You talk about extreme.
Speaker 1: What is happening and what is us? Hold out your
glass because we're about to fill it up.
Speaker 4: Join us as we travel and explore the vast unknown.
It's a hero's journey with dragons to slay, damsels to save,
and innumerable treasures to hoard. Porch is high, you'll look
at it from a different perspective.
Speaker 1: Baba Fanga was born January thirty first, nineteen eleven, in
a small town called strew Miltza and what is now
known as Bulgaria. Now. Back then, life was hard, Infant
mortality was high, and folks were really superstitious about naming
babies too early. The idea was don't get attached until
you know the child is going to make it. But
her midwife broke tradition and named her right away. She
named her Bengelia, and that name means good news, which
is interesting considering how much bad news would eventually get
tied to her name. She grew up poor, rural, working
in the land, just as a normal kid for the time.
Nothing mystical, nothing strange, but her life was forever changed.
At twelve years old in nineteen twenty three, she was
outside playing with her cousins in a field near a
nova silo, and out of nowhere a storm to gold
inn not just rain, not just wind, but a full
blown tornado. The kids scattered, running for cover, and that's
when Vengelia got picked up and thrown like a rag doll.
When the storm passed, her cousins went looking for They
found her lying out in the nearby field. She wasn't dead,
she wasn't moving either. Her body was badly injured and
her eyes, her eyes were packed full of mud, sand
and to breathe. When she finally woke up, she screamed
in pained covering her eyes. Every time that she tried
to open it. She would never see again. Later in life,
people would say this was the moment everything changed, that
she lost her sight in this world and gained sight
somewhere else. She was sent to the school for the blind,
learned braille, sewing the piano, and for a while it
looked like maybe she'd find a quiet, normal life. But
then her stepmother died and just like that, she was
pulled back home. No more schooling, no more protection. Now
she was responsible for the house and her younger siblings,
and during these hard times, their focus was on survival,
not education. And it was during this time when life
got really heavy. It was at this time Baba Vegas
vision started.
Speaker 2: That's called.
Speaker 1: When she was sixteen, a thief stole several of their
family sheep. Now sheep were everything back then. That was food,
that was that was their means of survival. Vanga told
her father that she had seen a man take them.
In her mind's eye. She described what the man looked like,
and she described the path through the woods that he
had taken the livestock. She even described where he had
tied them up. Her father didn't argue. He went down
the path into the woods where she had said, and
there they were. They were tied up exactly where she
said they'd be. That's when folks started paying attention to
this blind seer.
Speaker 4: Is it possible she was able to access some kind
of knowledge that's out there that normal people cannot access.
Speaker 1: As she grew older, her abilities grew with her they sharpened.
People came to ask her about lost loved ones from
the war, illness, and their futures. She claimed that when
someone stood in front of her, she could see their
entire life play out in her mind like a Moodie reel,
past presence, and sometimes their future. By her thirties, her
reputation had spread far beyond her village, and by the
nineteen eighties, she was known as Baba Vanga, the Grandmother prophet.
She reportedly made over one thousand predictions, and scientists who
observed her claimed around eighty percent accuracy. That's pretty good.
Her fame and accuracy gathered enough attention to even scared governments,
and in April of nineteen forty two, during World War Two,
Tsar Boris the third of Bulgaria, came to see her.
He had sided with Nazi Germany and wanted some guidance,
but she only told him one thing. Remember August of
twenty eighth, and one year later, on August of twenty eighth,
nineteen forty three, the Tsar died suddenly of poisoning. After that,
her name spread like wildfire. In nineteen fifty two, bob
Ivanga publicly stated that Joseph Stalin would die on March
the fifth, nineteen fifty three. That didn't go over too well.
She was arrested and imprisoned for making what the Soviet
authorities saw as a death threat. Oh I'm sorry, dear,
but like clockwork, on March the fifth, nineteen fifty three,
just as she predicted, Stalin died of a brain hemorrhage.
She was released. Her most famous visitor was Leoni Bryshneff.
He was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union from nineteen sixty four to nineteen eighty two.
You think that was the end of it, We are
just getting started. In nineteen eighty she said, quote Kursk
will be submerged in water, and the whole world will weep.
People laughed. Kursk was nowhere near the sea. Flooding was
an impossibility, but in August of two thousand, the Russian
nuclear submarine cursed sank, killing all on board. In nineteen
eighty nine, she predicted many future events quote.
Speaker 3: American president will fall after pin attacked by the steel floors.
Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one, the Twin Towers in
New York were taken down. She also predicted a massive
tsunami in Southeast Asia.
Speaker 3: Quote a huge wave will cover a pea coast covered
is people and towns, and every silk sapir pinis ze water.
Speaker 1: December twenty sixth two thousand and four, a nine point
one earthquake off the coast of Sumatra created a devastating tsunami,
swallowing up over three thousand miles of land and claiming
the lives of over two hundred and thirty thousand people.
She even predicted the forty fourth president of the United
States would be a black man.
Speaker 3: Quote, the forty fourth president of the United States will
be an African American man. Everyone will put the hooks
in him.
Speaker 1: January the twentieth, two thousand and nine, Barack Obama was
elected as the forty fourth presidents. At some point, coincidence
starts feeling really thin. And in that same year, nineteen
eighty nine, she also spoke about Vladimir Putin quote, all
will thaw like ice. Only one will remain intact. The
glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia. Too much is
held within one victim. Nobody can stop Russia. Everything will
be removed from its way. Not only will it be kept,
but also become the lord of the world. Make of
that what you will. Now. If this isn't strange enough
for you, here's where things get really strange. Baba Benga
claimed she wasn't alone in her visions. Many of her
predictions came from an external force. She said she communicated
with beings that weren't human, invisible like entities shimmering like
heat over water, shining ones. She said. They told her
that answers were hidden across all religious scriptures, and that
brings us to the sun Ray Project, also known as
the European Area fifty one.
Speaker 2: Most days don't look like an emergency. That's why most
people never think about what they're carrying. We do because
preparedness isn't about looking the part, it's about being ready anyway.
Comfort isn't a luxury. It's what keeps you moving when
the day goes longer than planned. That's why every Squatch
Survival pack is made here start to finish. Squatch builds
packs for people who don't assume the day will stay easy.
Rugarou Mothman built to last your missions and be passed
down when you're done Squatch Survival gear ready for the
next one.
