Faith Healer Douche Peter Popoff is back

Post by Coop D'etat »

Linky

Televangelist Peter Popoff was convincingly demonstrated to be a fraud by James Randi 20 years ago on the Carson Daly show, as discussed on this thread. Twenty years later he's back in the game. His new gig is selling "Miracle Spring Water" and "Dead Sea Salt" to guilible fuckers over infomercials who think it will "provide a point of contact" for God to heal them. He's also into the time honoured scam of "prosperity theology" (variations of giving money to God and God will give more money back to you).

The balls this man has to keep doing this after national humilation and backruptcy is astonishing, but the stupid people that enable him by giving such an obvious con-man their money is simply ridiculous.

First topic! Horaay!

Oh shit... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lì ci sono chiese, macerie, moschee e questure, lì frontiere, prezzi inaccessibile e freddure
Lì paludi, minacce, cecchini coi fucili, documenti, file notturne e clandestini
Qui incontri, lotte, passi sincronizzati, colori, capannelli non autorizzati,
Uccelli migratori, reti, informazioni, piazze di Tutti i like pazze di passioni...

...La tranquillità è importante ma la libertà è tutto!

I don't mean to nitpick, but don't you mean on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

That guy made his comeback years ago. Stupid people just don't learn; that's what makes them stupid.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
