Baba Vanga Predicted about 2010

Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian blind woman who has predicted many events of 2010. There are many versions floating over internet and most notable is from Pravda news agency. Pravda is supposed to be content mill feeding Russian thoughts.

Baba Vanga predicted that WW III will take place sometime in 2010. A saint or fortune teller may say one thing while other read as second thing. It is very difficult to point to the facts which would or are leading any such events. Vanga did not write anything herself. She had strings of TV appearances and often appearing with government officials.

Back to her claims that World War Third or WW III would break in 2010, does not hold much of logic. There are no events on the horizon which would point that anything such is going to happen.

There are other doomsday theories which are pointing to 2012. Which one is true, the one for 2010 or 2012. Nobody can say for sure.

Each year many such theories come to light and fade away as those are proven wrong. We are living in the modern times when everything can be explained logically. Baba Vanga may have said something which is being read differently by the people. It may be the just the efforts to create sensational news.
