In a startling turn of events that seems ripped from the pages of a mystical thriller, a chilling prophecy made by Peruvian shamans has materialised in the real world, sending shockwaves across the globe. The annual ritual, meant to forecast the fortunes of world leaders, accurately predicted a major geopolitical upheaval involving Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro and former US President Donald Trump.
The Ritual and the Revelation
On Monday, the 30th of December 2024, a group of shamans gathered in Peru's capital, Lima, for their traditional year-end ceremony. During this ritual, they peered into the future to predict the fate of global power players. Among their three key predictions for 2025, one stood out for its specificity and boldness. Shaman Ana María Simeón, speaking to the Associated Press, declared, "We have asked for Maduro to leave, to retire, for President Donald Trump of the United States to be able to remove him, and we have visualised that next year this will happen."
Another shaman, Juan de Dios Garcia, provided further details to Reuters, but with a slight variation in the outcome. "We see Nicolas Maduro defeated. Nicolas Maduro will flee Venezuela. He will not be captured," Garcia stated. This detail, however, would prove to be the one part of the vision that did not align with reality.
Prediction Turns into Reality
Merely five days after the shamans made their pronouncement, the world watched as their core prediction came to life. On Saturday, January 3, 2025, US military forces executed a dramatic raid in Caracas. In a covert operation ordered by former President Donald Trump, they successfully extracted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from their residence.
Contrary to shaman Garcia's prediction of a successful escape, Maduro was captured and could not flee. The couple was swiftly transported to New York City. By Monday, January 5, they appeared in a federal court in New York, facing serious charges related to cocaine importation and the possession of machine guns and destructive devices. They are currently being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.
Other Prophecies and a Mixed Record
The fulfilment of the Maduro prediction has significantly boosted the credibility of the shamans' annual ritual, which has historically had a mixed record of accuracy. The event is a rare occurrence where a specific geopolitical forecast has come true in such a short and verifiable timeframe.
The shamans made two other significant predictions for the coming year. One casts a shadow over Donald Trump himself. Juan de Dios Garcia proclaimed, "The United States should prepare itself because Donald Trump will fall seriously ill." The other prediction offers a glimmer of hope for global peace, with Garcia foreseeing an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "I see that the conflict will end, they will raise the flag of peace," the shaman predicted.
The swift realisation of the first prophecy has left many around the world intrigued and awaiting the unfolding of the remaining two. The event underscores the enduring cultural traditions of Peru while intersecting unexpectedly with the high-stakes arena of international politics.
