In 1986, magician James Randi caught faith healer Peter Popoff with a radio in his ear. His wife was reading him the names and illnesses he said came from God.
His ministry had been taking in $550,000 a month, and a year later he was bankrupt. Years later he returned to TV with "miracle spring water," and in 2005 his ministry took in over $23 million.
In the video below, Randi shows how his radio scanner caught the voice in Popoff's ear. "Hello, Petey, can you hear me?"
At his "miracle crusades," Popoff named strangers and their illnesses, saying God told him. "God is touching that thyroid condition right now," he told one woman.
Randi suspected a trick, and his scanner picked up "a decidedly worldly source." It was Popoff's wife, Elizabeth, reading him prayer cards the audience filled out before the show.
Randi played the tapes on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Popoff first called them a fake, then admitted the earpiece and said "almost everybody" knew.
That fall he went off the air, and in 1987 he went bankrupt owing 790 creditors. His lawyer blamed "poor business judgment" more than the exposure.
By the 2000s he was back on late-night TV, mailing free "miracle spring water" and asking for donations. His shows still aired in 2025, when a UK regulator fined a channel £150,000 for broadcasting them.
Why do people still send Popoff money: they never saw Randi's tapes, or they trust faith more than proof?

The so called mpimpis, Clever blacks and mimosa Bantus will continue punishing the ANC.
Their vote didn’t just go to the the DA in the metros…it also went to ActionSA
People don’t want to talk about ActionSA because it doesn’t fit the sellout agenda
Guys, a lot of black people didn’t vote in the cities. It is possible to engineer voter apathy (through media and paid influencers) which likely happened.
Whites rallied together and made sure they turned up and they voted.
There was no vote rigging.
He’s going to AKA you with his lawyers. Calm down.
And while we’re here, does anyone want to know why I call @SizweDhlomo “Sizwe Jr”. It’s a long story but it’s full of suspense.
It seems a lot of metros will depend on who ANC decides to get into a coalition with and that will inadvertently show who ANC is really for.
They really tried but can’t beat PGA.

Pangolins are basically like this kid
#sapsNW [POLICE CLAMP DOWN ON WILDLIFE CRIME: FOUR ARRESTED AND TWO PANGOLINS RESCUED]
Four suspects were arrested for the alleged unlawful possession of endangered species after two live pangolins were found inside a vehicle during an intelligence-led operation at Waterfall Mall in Rustenburg on Wednesday, 04 November 2026.
The operation followed information received by Crime Intelligence (CI) Ivory Park, regarding a group of suspects who were allegedly involved in the illegal trade of endangered species. The information indicated that the suspects were in possession of two female pangolins, which they intended to sell to potential buyers for approximately R500 000-00 each.
Following the information, a cross-border, multidisciplinary team comprising members of Crime Intelligence Ivory Park and North West, SAPS Ivory Park Task Team, Phokeng K9, Rustenburg Tactical Response Team (TRT) and Safeguard Risk Services was assembled and deployed to the area.
The team proceeded to the parking lot at a Mall in Rustenburg and kept observation. A white BMW, in which the suspects were travelling, was seen entering the mall and was intercepted by the operational team.
Permission to search the vehicle was granted and upon searching the vehicle, two live pangolins were found inside the boot. When questioned about the endangered species, the four suspects, aged between 38 and 51, could not give a reasonable explanation and were subsequently arrested for unlawful possession of endangered species.
The vehicle was also found to be affixed with false registration plates. It was seized for further investigation.
Members of the Rustenburg Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) and the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment were called to the scene. The two pangolins were rescued and taken for safety purposes by members of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.
The estimated value of the pangolins is +-R1 000 000.00(One Million Rands)
Further investigations are continuing to establish the suspects' criminal network.
The suspects are expected to appear before the Rustenburg Magistrates' Court on Friday, 06 November 2026, to face charges of unlawful possession of endangered species in contravention of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 10 of 2004.
The Provincial Commissioner of the North West, Lieutenant General Arthur Peter Adams, commended all the units involved for their excellent collaboration and swift action that led to the rescue of the pangolins and the arrest of the suspects. He emphasised that the SAPS remains committed to protecting the country's endangered species and bringing those involved in wildlife crime to justice. #EnviroCrimes ML

Also guys stop voting ANC! They are the original sell outs! Next week they are going to go into a coalition with the DA and help make that racist Gogo the mayor! Voting for ANC is the equivalent of voting DA. They are the same thing.

The strategy of Oppenheimer is working nicely.
At this rate 2029 y’all are getting a White president cause y’all have million black parties that split the votes and DA benefits from that.
DA will run South Africa in 2029
Like I said, keep gold, cash, diamonds or silver.
BREAKING: 🇵🇾 What just happened in PARAGUAY is a WARNING for everyone on earth.
More than 3 million people (60% of Paraguay's adult population) have lost access to EVERYTHING. Their bank accounts. Their pensions. Frozen. Inaccessible.
Paraguay’s largest digital bank, Ueno Bank, has collapsed.
The president of the Central Bank (who is deeply connected to Ueno) has just RESIGNED. Eight high-level executives including the founder and the Bank President are being detained.
The people have taken to the streets to demand their money back. And rightly so.
This is the model Milei and the rest of the Epstein class are pushing. This could happen ANYWHERE. Best to save in physical gold and physical silver, imo.
