Times when Nostradamus and Baba Vanga predictions came true
Nostradamus
—and the blind Bulgarian mystic
Baba Vanga
.
Though often debated, several of their predictions are believed to have eerily come true, stirring curiosity and wonder even among skeptics.
Nostradamus: The Renaissance Seer Who Looked Ahead
Born in 1503 in France, Nostradamus published
Les Prophéties
in 1555—a collection of 942 poetic quatrains believed to foretell the future. Here are some instances where his words appear to align with real-world events:
1.
The Rise of Adolf Hitler
Nostradamus wrote:
This is often interpreted as a prediction of Adolf Hitler's rise.
Born in Austria to a poor family, Hitler's oratory drew massive support, eventually leading to World War II.
2.
The Great Fire of London (1666)
Another quatrain states:
Indeed, in 1666, a massive fire broke out in London, destroying much of the city.
3.
9/11 Attacks
Some believe Nostradamus foresaw the September 11 attacks:
While vague, the reference to 'steel birds' and a major city led many to connect this quatrain to the tragic attack on the Twin Towers in New York City.
Baba Vanga: The Balkan Oracle
Blind since childhood after a freak storm, Baba Vanga made hundreds of predictions until her death in 1996. Many of her followers claim her success rate is over 80%. Here are a few that stunned the world:
1.
9/11 Attacks
Baba Vanga allegedly predicted:
This prediction has been widely circulated and interpreted as foreseeing the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
2.
The Kursk Submarine Disaster (2000)
In 1980, she reportedly said:
On August 12, 2000, the Russian submarine
Kursk
sank, killing all 118 crew members.
3.
Barack Obama's Presidency
She foresaw that the 44th President of the United States would be an African American. Though she added that he would be the last president, many interpret this as symbolic of global change rather than literal succession.

Another Yalta moment for a new world order
Based on interactions with American national security elites at the annual Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, Politico compiled a report six months into Donald Trump's second presidency last weekend. The digital newspaper reported the Aspen delegates 'accepted that this president has irrevocably upended the global order... former and current US and foreign officials, business leaders and analysts acknowledged publicly and privately that the Trump administration has dealt a lasting blow to much of the post-World War II consensus around free trade and long-term cooperation'. Indeed, isn't this how history rolls on—when a statesman appears out of nowhere with a sledgehammer and a bold agenda to break the crust? The demolition is painful to watch and the outcome difficult to predict, which is reflected in the industrial-scale demonisation of Trump by the self-styled 'liberal globalists'. Trump has smashed not only 'the norms and conventions that governed US trade relations, use of military force and engagement with stalwart partners and alliances', as Politico characterised it, but also rolled back the agencies entrusted with foreign policy tasks including USAID, CIA, Pentagon and the state department. Indian foreign policy elites seek solace that Trump's policies will not have a long shelf life and could be easily reversed once he leaves office. However, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice admitted at the closing panel of the Colorado summit, in her capacity as co-chair of the Aspen Strategy Group, 'We have to recognise that we're probably not going back to exactly that system'. We find Trump's pugilistic approach on India-Pakistan tensions to be irksome, as our attempts to influence it on the edges are being rebuffed. But US mediation between India and Pakistan has been a fact of life going all the way back to the Indus Waters Treaty. The difference today is that Trump is claiming credit for it, which is profoundly embarrassing for the Indian leadership. But then, our politicians are second to none in grandstanding either.

Ghaziabad fake embassy scandal: Westarctica and the world of micronations
A 45-year-old man in Ghaziabad was pulling off a unique scam by pretending to be the 'ambassador' of Westarctica, an unrecognised micronation in Antarctica. A raid by the Uttar Pradesh Police at the house he claimed was the official embassy busted his con. The case has put the spotlight on micronations. What are they? read more A man has been arrested in Ghaziabad for running a fake embassy and conning people. News18 The Uttar Pradesh Police have busted a fake embassy in Ghaziabad. A 45-year-old man, identified as Harsh Vardhan Jain, was allegedly running a scam from a two-storey house in Kavi Nagar, claiming to be the 'ambassador' of Westarctica, an unrecognised micronation in Antarctica. According to the Noida unit of the Uttar Pradesh Police Special Task Force (STF), the man conned people using forged Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) documents and promises of international deals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While his embassy was not real, Westarctica is. The incident has brought micronations to the limelight. But what are these? We will explain. What are micronations? Micronations are 'wannabe' states whose representatives claim to belong to an independent nation or sovereign state. However, these political entities are neither recognised by any sovereign state nor under international law. The 'rulers' or founders of these micronations are motivated by philosophical experiment, political protest, entertainment or artistic expression, and sometimes by criminal activity. A lack of legal basis has, however, not stopped these micronations from creating their own coins, postage stamps, national anthems, flags and even passports. Dozens of micronations have emerged since the 1960s. American writer Leicester Hemingway founded New Atlantis in 1964 by constructing a bamboo raft with steel, iron piping, and rock, six miles off the coast of Jamaica. He claimed it was an island with full sovereignty. The raft was ultimately destroyed by a cyclone. There are micronations that still exist, such as the Principality of Sealand. It is an offshore platform in the North Sea used by the British military during World War II. Paddy Roy Bates, a former soldier, took up HM Fort Roughs in 1967 and later declared its independence. He later named it the Principality of Sealand, with its own flag, money, national anthem, stamps and football team. Australia has many micronations, with its first being the Principality of Hutt River founded in 1970. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Republic of Lamb is an island off the coast of Scotland purchased by popular spoon bender and legendary 'psychic' Uri Geller. He offers citizenship, with all proceeds going to Save a Child's Heart, an Israeli charity which treats children with heart conditions globally. In a picture taken on May 27, 2010 Emperor George II of Atlantium, a micronation, displays the 25 imperial solidi note featuring a portrait of himself (top) in Sydney. File Photo/AFP Another micronation is the Republic of Minerva, an artificial island built over disputed coral reefs between the Pacific island nations of Fiji and Tonga. The Royal Republic of Ladonia was created in 1986 by artist Lars Vilks to protest local authorities in southern Sweden's Kullaberg, who deemed the two large sculptures he built in an inaccessible nature reserve illegal. Ladonia, which is ruled by Queen Carolyn, promotes freedom of expression, art and creativity. Kailasa, the so-called country founded by self-styled godman Nithyananda, who is wanted in India for rape and abduction, is also a micronation. Nithyananda purchased an island off the coast of Ecuador, which he claims as 'Kailasa', as per BBC. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD How serious are micronations? The creators or founders of these mock nations know these entities are not 'real'. But they still have fun and sometimes use the opportunity to protest. 'They are very serious about this. Pretending to be a king or a president takes a lot of effort. I think the psychological strength you need to do this constantly when no one recognises you must be quite difficult. But generally speaking, it is for fun. A lot of them also do it as a way to build a community,' Harry Hobbs, co-author of How to Rule Your Own Country: The Weird and Wonderful World of Micronations, told Forbes in 2023. He added: 'I think the best ones are really designed for a clear political purpose. There's the famous Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands. They seceded from Australia to protest legislation banning same-sex marriage and formed a gay and lesbian kingdom. They sailed to an island in the Great Barrier Reef, planted a flag, and set up a country.' However, pretending to rule a sovereign state is not fun when reality hits. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In 2002, Vilks received applications from migrants and refugees from across the globe for citizenship, believing Ladonia to be a real country. The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands also got letters from queer people in other country who needed asylum. Ghaziabad man's con as 'ambassador' of many micronations The UP STF has arrested Harsh Vardhan Jain after a raid for running a fake embassy in Ghaziabad. The man converted a house in Kavi Nagar, surrounding it with high-end cars, and claimed it to be the official embassy of Westarctica. The Grand Duchy of Westarctica is a 620,000-square-mile tract of land in western Antarctica. It has its 'royal head of state' — the Grand Duke Travis, a flag, currency, and over 2,500 'citizens'. 'Jain claimed to be the consul or ambassador of Westarctica, Saborga, Poulvia, and Ladonia — none of which are recognised as sovereign nations," SSP Sushil Ghule, who led the STF raid, told the media. 'He used diplomatic insignias and paraphernalia to create an illusion of official legitimacy," he added. UP Police busts fake '#Westarctica' #embassy in Ghaziabad! A man posing as a diplomat arrested in a bizarre international scam@_anshuls brings you the ground report#Ghaziabad | @Poonam_Burde — News18 (@CNNnews18) July 23, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Jain morphed photographs of himself with world leaders, including prime ministers and presidents, and used credentials with forged seals of the MEA. 'He used the guise of diplomacy to influence businessmen, promise them access to international markets, and run a hawala network through shell companies,' the UP police said in its statement. The fake embassy helped Jain scam people seeking foreign investment or work permits, as per the police. Jain is alleged to have pocketed large sums from private individuals and companies, promising them special diplomatic permissions or international licenses. The UP STF seized Rs 44.7 lakh in cash, foreign currency from several countries, and four high-end luxury vehicles, all bearing fake diplomatic number plates. Forged diplomatic passports and MEA seals were also recovered. With inputs from agencies

From A Fake Embassy In Ghaziabad To The Weird World Of Micronations
Delhi Police shut down an embassy this week. The Embassy of the Grand Duchy of Westarctica. Only it wasn't the Grand Duchy's embassy. It was a scam run by a man from Ghaziabad, who rented a bungalow, padded the scenery with high-end cars and photographed pictures of himself with world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to con people out of lakhs. It was a fake embassy, yes. But, amazingly, the Grand Duchy of Westarctica is not. It is a 'country', a tract of land in western Antarctica that is around 620,000 square miles large and has a 'royal head of state' - His Royal Highness, the Grand Duke Travis - a flag, currency (the Ice Mark), and over 2,500 'citizens'. Only it is not. Because no sovereign nation in the world recognises it. Confused? Welcome to the weird and entertaining world of micronations. What is a micronation? It is an aspirant state, a wedge of unclaimed land or an abandoned structure, or even a disputed field of wheat (yes, that happened), that claims sovereignty and political independence, but lacks the force majeure to enforce that demand under international law. These are not the same as microstates - such as the Vatican City and Liechtenstein - which are recognised sovereign nations despite their small size. So what's the point? Well... that's a question, isn't it? Many are created as a joke. There is the Republic of Le Saugeais, for example, a collection of 11 villages between France and Switzerland 'born' in 1947 after a joke between a hotel owner and a French official. Others may have been formed as a form of protest, however bizarre. In Florida in 1982, the Mayor of the island city of Key West declared the Conch Republic and 'seceded from the United States' to highlight the lack of development of the region. Another example is Freetown Christania in Copenhagen, an 'anarchist commune' of around 1,000 people built - intentionally - over a former military base. The main street is called Pusher and, unsurprisingly, was famous for the open but illegal trade in cannabis, right until last year. And then there are yet more. The Principality of Sealand is an offshore platform in the North Sea that was used by British military during World War II. Taken over by Paddy Roy Bates, a former soldier, Sealand is now, perhaps, the most famous micronation, and even has 'visas' for 'tourists' who want to visit. There is the Republic of Minerva - an artificial island built over disputed coral reefs lying between the Pacific island nations of Fiji and Tonga. And there is Liberland - a seven square km parcel of forested and uninhabited land that is part of Serbia and Croatia's border argument. For the artist in you, there is the Royal Republic of Ladonia that was created in 1986 because local authorities in southern Sweden's Kullaberg said two sculptures were illegally built. Ladonia is now ruled by Her Majesty the Queen, Carolyn. But what, really, is a micronation? Anything you want it to be, really. A friendly 'how to' guide shared by the President of the Republic of Molossia in the American state of Nevada has quite a few details, including the five different kinds. A 'soverign nation' that has a formal system of government, passports and border control, and membership in an international organisation. These are usually built around physical territories. A 'ship under flag of convenience', which would be like Sealand. A third kind is created using the laws of the country in whose territory the micronation lies. The fourth and fifth are a 'model country', which is usually a website or an online presence, and establishing a 'nation' in a remote area. Liberland is an example of the latter. Now the legal (and boring) bit. A micronation is not 'real'. None has ever been accepted by an established nation. But that does not mean their creators/founders are not serious about their 'countries'. For example, in 2000 Molossia founded and hosted the 'Intermicronational Olympic Games' that coincideed with the Summer Olympics. The list of events included online games like chess and checkers (hosted unofficially on the Yahoo platform) and assorted track events. Molossia President Kevin Baugh and his son Mark were the stars, winning gold medals in the 100 metre dash and frisbee throw, and silvers in 'the tennis ball throw', chess, and checkers. We're still waiting for the next Intermicronational Olympic Games. But last year the Jewish Bolshevist Republic of Schykille, in Pennsylvania in the US, hosted a world football tournament that featured 24 teams, including Sealand. Want to start your own micronation? This sounds fun. You could, really. In the words of Mr Baugh, the President of Molossia, you could start by simply claiming land. "... it doesn't need to be solely yours. Claim land that is publicly owned, like a local park, a nature reserve, that sort of thing. Go there, plant your flag, and claim the land for your nation..." Then all you need is a flag, a national anthem, and other 'national' symbols. Congratulations. Just beware of unscrupulous men and women pretending to be your diplomatic envoys!
