Secret Footage of "Faith Healer" Peter Popoff in Toronto May 2011

[blueeyebabygirl]

i'd rather be conned to heaven than to free think my way to hell

[EpicAthiest]

@blueeyebabygirl

Without the ability to free-think, you loose the ability to recognize lies from truth.

You assume the only two pathways in life is to be blind (thus to heaven), and to reason (thus to hell), yet you can not see the multitude of possibilities of other religions to which you had the skull to avoid. All of them is like your religion and the followers like you have the same close-mind way of thinking.

I respect your beliefs and you have your reasons. Good luck. =D

[blueeyebabygirl]

your 'free thinking' is the quickest highway to hell too.

[SonofJaphet]

Popoff is the reincarnation of Simon Magus

[Death4Note]

"I hope you die of cancer!"

Wow! That is really sad.

[Death4Note]

I am a Christian and I don't approve of Popoff,s robbery roadshow. I would be surprised to discover if this guy has even read the Bible.

[funny20171]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRR­RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGG!­!!

[verhoffj1]

How can anyone fall for this?

[wanafly12]

thes type of guys need to go straight to jail forever

[h5y]

Fuck, he has one of those faces that I'd love to punch. 5:54 is so sad. How could anyone be so scummy like popoff and live with themselves? It's depressing that a false belief (god) has so much power over people to believe in this shit.

[HoldMyArrowsPlease]

This makes me sad.

[lefthandofanubis]

I love peter popoff. He is a piece of shit but his late night shows are morbidly amusing

[chronius9]

Thought such fraud as Popoff is asshole and he takes money from desperate people, but many of its public is too dumb not to be robbed.

If Popoff would stop doing, they would find another "healer". Education is only cure for problem.

[NoKiddingMan]

Recently, I had an encounter with a creationist who claimed earth is moving 2 inches per year towards the Sun and will collide with it in about 2000 years. Thus, earth is not 4.5 billion years old. Also he claimed that religion is not faith while asserting that humans used to live over 900 years (Noah).. I did not even know where to start to show him how ignorant he was... What a frustration.. And, this is not my first time. I used to discuss this stuff with Catholic priests..

[trema12345]

Lol notice how everyone in the audience is from the lower to middle class

[antuerius]

@trema12345 Lol, not unlike your ugly remark.

[kv01010]

@thinkagaincfi i believe you all need to do a follow up investigation on this.. with more video evidence

[sergiokct]

já sabia do seu caráter mas voltar e ter seguidores pensei que só acontecesse aqui no brasil,eles conseguiam fazer isso por muitos serem simples analfabetos mas até em países de'1° MUNDO " eles voltam como cães gulosos .

[Scr3amxAimxFire]

Anyone else notice that everyone there is black? are black people really that gullible?

[Keenanville09]

@Scr3amxAimxFire

c'mon man, its not because they're black, its because these are the ppl who are struggling the most in tough times. ppl all over the world fall for this of all races. im black and i would certainly not fall for this.

[NoKiddingMan]

@Scr3amxAimxFire I think good portion of black population have been marginalized and poor with limited education. This is sad. So, education and learning proper science is the key, as Professor Dawkins has emphasized. Your comment is NOT out of line at all.

[ryankc83]

If these people want to see magic go to Vegas and see Chriss Angel Mindfreak

[kidney122398]

What a fraud. My great-aunt gives him money and believes everything he says.

[ReddoFreddo]

you know you dont have to be atheist to hat peter popoff

[1incipitvitanova]

Worked for Peter & his wife Elizabeth soon after they went BK back in the 80's. He had just bought another mansion via one of his cronies. It was an absolutely horrible experience-evil manifested. Morally bankrupt w/ no socially redeeming values.

[seafenix]

Next? Peter Popoff-brand Holy Snake Oil. From snakes indigenous to the Holy Land. Real snakes bred from the staff of Moses! Cures all! Removes debt! Only a $5000 'seed of love' to Popoff Ministries. Cheap!

[eepruls]

This guy is on TV all the time and I stop at the channel and cannot believe people actually believe this shit. It's just such nonsense.

[Devestato72]

Lol

[worldwidepeace1]

wow...

[wenger1972]

What a scumbag.

You got to feel sorry for the oldboy - 5:14 to 6:15.

[Sicc7H8te]

im gonna call PETER POPOFF AND ORDER HIS LIL HEALING THING. IF HE ASKS ME FOR MONEY IM GONNA SEND A MONEY ORDER AND CANCEL IT. HAHA, FUCKEN RIP-OFF!

[Harmonlisa]

He got his 2 daughters back because they sent all their money to POPOFF and can no longer afford their own homes.....They have to move back in with daddy.

[JRock005]

That black guy at 8:08 knows exactly what's going on here.

[Ri0t0nD0p3]

1 bad vote... i guess peepee saw the video

[jacksawild]

cunt

[wideosvatcher]

Fat stupid brain dead zombie bastard. Abraham Lincoln freed the fducking slaves for this?

[inquisitum]

Peter Popoff - what a complete douchebag. How desperate (stupid) do you have to be to believe this anything dickwad says.

[bill0756]

I didn't see any video of Popoff asking for $1000, as the video makers claim.

I'm glad they're exposing this a-hole anyway, and really glad they showed up at the meeting offering those fact sheets on Popoff. Conscientious Canadians, if only more of us Americans could be so!

[colonelnj10]

Wait- at 5:03, is that "Cheezus" I hear?

[DeadFishFactory]

So... scam artists are revered if they use religion?

[JohnJoe18]

@Manoficeandsnow He died last thursday

[Troggzorz]

only popoff dislikes this

[geekyn00b1]

9:00 - Now appearing at the Evil Douchebag House of Wax!

Great job (re)exposing this guy. Subbed.

[TruthofthePeople]

How could you scam people like this without feeling the slightest bit of remorse?

Popoff and his crew aren't just criminals, they're monsters.

[Water4Jeremiah]

1 dislike. (I wonder who that could have been.)

[yasumpuss1ey]

@Water4Jeremiah Peter Popoff, Muahahaha

[LaTeqn]

@Water4Jeremiah There is two now.. His wife got a Youtube account finaly.

[sigridmac09]

whar scares me more than this guy is the people who follow him. one deluded crazy is understandable -- mass delusion is more frightening.

[TheDynamicDriveler]

Well done - scum like Popoff need to be thrown in jail and the key thrown away for good

[Orlor]

Look at the head on that bastard! Looks like a slab of ham.

[opinionatorX]

Some one needs to put the 4 5th in his mouth and make him beg for mercy! This sucka needs to be stopped!

[eyeohv]

aww why doesn't the camera ever pan down past your linebacker neck? I wonder.

[monsterMettle]

@eyeohv What a brilliant contribution to the discussion. So glad you could be here.

[IstasPumaNevada]

While I completely agree that this man is a con artist who preys on the emotionally vulnerable, and personally think that such acts should be criminally punishable, I don't think it's helpful to add the dramatic music. It's the same sort of ploy towards fear and emotions that people like Popoff use. I think the facts and video clips alone are enough to show this person for what he is. Dramatic music is just leading people by emotion, and distracts from getting people to think critically.

[bubbah]

@IstasPumaNevada No, you moron, dramatic music helps to emphasize the situation without having to spend even more time in the video doing it in another way. People's attention spans are short. The video is nearly 10 minutes as it is.

[IstasPumaNevada]

@bubbah I think there are reasons attention spans are so short, and relying on dramatic music to get a point across instead of requiring people to think is probably one of them. Also, I'm sure slinging insults for no reason when attempting rational discourse doesn't help open communication.

[Claymore2211]

Honestly, what the difference between standing before Peter Popoff and asking him to heal you and kneeling by your bed and asking God to heal you? Same level of success; same level of efficacy. When are the religious going to realize they are praying to themselves?

[thekeyofatheist]

@Claymore2211 God doesn't usually demand money in return for the statistically normal results he provides.

[MatchCard]

Lol this video has more views on dprjone's channel. More people should be referred here!

[handygeek]

Unreal that this fraudster is still doing his work. 

[mlonster]

spread the word!! thanks to CFI for chasing these criminals.

(oh and btw. .get a better inhouse microphone! :)

[TheGnolla]

This man is evil. :(

[TheOats]

I like this video... except for one aspect of it... the music! I HATE it when "documentary's" try and manipulate the viewer with music/sounds.

Its especially irritating in this video, because this video really does not need any "enhancing". The sick things Popoff does is more than enough to make people able make up their own minds.

[deathray32]

What a shitbag.

[chapelierfoudre]

I can't understand why this guy isn't in jail - there where he belongs. People like him are a shame to their country.

[alienisuntverus]

I can't stand faith healers. What kind of idiot would really go up to those people when it's a lot less difficult to go to a doctor.

[slipperywhenwet5]

lol...

Cheesus.

[Commentsboxcaughtme]

That fucking sick bastard. While I find that old man's beliefs ridiculous, the fact that they turned him away because they knew what they're doing is bogus is so fucking sick. That man was confused and hurt, on top of being sick and seeking help. Words can't describe how much I despise this faith healing bull-shit and its practitioners who only serve to hurt people for money. So fucking sick.

[TotallyVeracious]

I thought fraud and stealing was illegal.

[slipperywhenwet5]

@TotallyVeracious It is.

[NiMur90]

I don't know what's sadder; that a person can be that reprehensible or that people are stupid to believe him..

[talldarkmystere]

Isn't it interesting how people almost always put their hands up in the air when they're being robbed?

[euroman32589]

@talldarkmystere ..well said.

[metaphid]

There is no end to the poor, ignorant sheep seeking salvation from pieces of shit like Popoff. How depressing.

[doubleas2380]

Disgusting.

[carlcartman]

I wonder if he still uses a radio to make his 'readings.'

[fortyone0]

Thank you CFI for helping to expose Popoff. He is a parasite in every sense of the word. Disturbing to see him here in Canada.

[LynxChan]

Seeing that sad, sick old man being turned away by Popoff's goon and limping to his seat, wondering why they wouldn't help him, makes my blood boil. Scum looks down on you Popoff, you sick bastard.

[NeilDeBarna]

If I had the power to heal people by laying my hands on them and saying a few words, I'd be doing it all day every day. I would devote my life to it, saving millions of lives. I would not exclude the poor by asking for money.

If Peter Popoff truly believes in himself, he is the most selfish person in the whole world. If he doesn't believe in himself, he is a conman and a liar with no morals.

Peter Popoff is a christian. I am an Atheist.

Yeah, we approach life in a very different way.

[TheRedneckAtheist]

This "man" is scum of the highest, or perhaps lowest order.

[AVY05]

1 dislike is a miracle....wait, that must be Popoff!!

[paranorma1palace]

popoff you bastard !

[TheEvilOfScientology]

Popoff is scum of the highest order.

[mandrellian]

87 likes; 1 deluded fool who's quite happy to kiss Popoff's manky arse and call it ice cream

[paranorma1palace]

@mandrellian

that must be popoff :)

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Scumbag.

[eyallev]

I'll write a book on how to get out a million dollors. and sell it at 10$ a copy.

inside, it will say :"write a book, set the price at 10$, and find 100,000 fools to buy it".

seems to work for this guy.

[firefly4f4]

I sent a link of this video to my MP. I have absolutely no idea if it will get acted on, but I have no desire to see this man in this country again.

[fourbabies1]

have a look at darren brown, english magician and sceptic. he trained an atheist skuba diver to "heal" people for british T V and the man had the same results as popoff. sickening.

[LordUa437]

So many sheep, so little time...

[wmg111]

Am I the only one who finds the concept of a faith healer named Popoff....funny?

Just askin'.....

[Wrath0fKhan]

This is just so sad... Thanks for all your great work, dear CFI team.

[joebonk]

umm why didnt you all catch all this stuff on tape... like james randi suggested?

[LokcedUot]

This is depressing.

[incertusveritas]

I see the same modus operandi here as in all other organized religious sects the masses flock to for supposed salvation from being human; the sect that is headquartered at the Vatican is a perfect example among many others...

[maxpainfu1]

The *brrrrrrrr* sound is a lil unnecessary. No need to emphasise how fucked up he is.

[thegyger]

How did this asshole get in to our country ???

[yurity]

Give your glory to god and your money to me

[BartBVanBockstaele]

This is what "religion" and "faith" does to the uneducated mind. While I am an advocate of freedom of religion, I think that charlatans like this could be easily taken care of by consumer protection organisations, if they only had the courage to accept that freedom of religion cannot possibly include freedom to swindle.

[BetaDeltaCebu]

At least no atheist was scammed by this scumbag...

Christians deserve to be fooled anyway...

So no harm done...:)

[LynxChan]

@BetaDeltaCebu really? You know no Christians who are decent people? Do you have such a low opinion of the religious people in your life that you think they deserve to lose their life savings, or worse die because they stopped treatment of a disease they were "cured" of?

Personally I try to have a little more empathy with my fellow human beings.

[gettingolder2]

O dam, look at all the delusional People, giving up there money.

[AtheismTV]

I admire you. Excellent work!

[goemon9378]

man, i should get in on this sweet jesus money scheme

[stiimuli]

this man and his entire posse needs to be arrested

[LordNapalm]

I got the worst cold from these sick bastards.

[iltgb]

Excellent video!

[lisangelo]

Sad.
