June 16, 2017/Death of Helmut Kohl
In 2008, when Helmut Kohl married his second wife Maike Richter, I said, „I see that the two will spend at most about ten happy years together… at least six, but not more than ten.“ In 2016, on the subject of the difficult relationship between the Kohl sons and their stepmother, I said, „For reasons unknown, I have always had a close spiritual connection to the Kohl family. Especially to Hannelore Kohl, who attended my kindergarten in Bonn, on whose lap I sat and whose death in 2001 I predicted. Next year (2017) we will have to say goodbye to Helmut Kohl. There will be no reunion with his sons.“

Twelve people died and over fifty were seriously injured when a truck drove into the crowd at a Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz in Berlin. „This year there will be a terrible event in the Christmas season.

But I also see that not everything will be as it should be.“ As Trump took office on January 20, 2017, several thousand people demonstrated against the right-wing populist Republican in New York, Washington and other cities.

February 11, 2013/Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI
On the day of his election as Pope on April 19, 2005, Ira said, „I am happy about our German Pope … But he will in fact only be a pope in transition. He will not, as is usual with popes, die in office, but will voluntarily resign the pontificate due to dwindling powers. It is very difficult to say exactly when this will happen, but he will be aged around 80. I see that the Catholic Church, during his term of office, will clearly lose influence and importance. The resignation of the Pontiff will not come at a good time.“
July 22, 2011/Attacks in Norway
At the turn of the year 2010/2011: „A Nordic country will experience great disaster this year. I am not sure whether it will affect Norway or Sweden.
