Jim Bakker’s Made-Up Chart Shows God Pausing Earthquakes After Trump’s Election

Mod: God has also delayed the end of the world. Which is why we are still here. That didn't just happen, y'know?

Jim Bakker’s Made-Up Chart Shows God Pausing Earthquakes After Trump’s Election (Patheoslink): According to televangelist Jim Bakker, the election of Donald Trump in 2016 was so monumental that the number of earthquakes around the world took a nosedive. It was clearly God’s way of telling us how pleased He was.

"… You want to see a chart that [will] blow your mind? I just got this from one of my newsmen here in the staff. You see that? You see what this is? This is the lowest earthquakes… Look at, down here. You want to know what that is? That’s the election of Donald Trump. Why would there be a dip in the earthquakes at the time of the election? Why would there be less earthquakes there?"

Where is that graph from? Who knows. Doesn’t it tell us something that the number of earthquakes has gone up since the election? Bakker didn’t comment on that. But still, what’s up with that dip? Simple: Bakker made it up. As with all his other Christian proclamations, he just pulled this one out of his arse. Right Wing Watch points out that the number of earthquakes around the world in 2016 was roughly the same as the years before and after — slightly higher, in fact.

Bakker’s chart is so fake, I’m surprised Trump didn’t draw on it with a Sharpie.

Former right-wing presidential candidate scamming Americans with toxic bleach cure (Daily Beastlink): They promote bleach as a miracle cure and distribute it to children in developing countries. And now they have a prominent conservative pundit propping up their network.

The “Miracle Mineral Solution” (“MMS”) movement falsely claims a dangerous chlorine dioxide cocktail can cure almost any illness, from autism to infertility. A new addition to the Facebook-fueled movement is IAMtv, a conservative web-based channel fronted by Alan Keyes, former diplomat and adviser to President Ronald Reagan who appears in pro-MMS broadcasts with bottles of MMS from a dubious bleach “church” featured prominently on his desk. IAMtv figures even claim Keyes is helping the network spread its mission from Uganda to the halls of power in the U.S.

MMS has found a growing fanbase, often among people skeptical of modern medicine or desperate for miracle cures. Meanwhile, its champions are trying to make the concoction mainstream.

There is nothing miraculous about Miracle Mineral Solution. It’s poison. As the Food and Drug Administration warned in an August statement, the solution is “a powerful bleaching agent.”

“Miracle Mineral Solution has not been approved by the FDA for any use, but these products continue to be promoted on social media as a remedy for treating autism, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and flu, among other conditions,” the FDA noted. “However, the solution, when mixed, develops into a dangerous bleach which has caused serious and potentially life-threatening side effects.”

Those can include damage to red blood cells and critical organ failure. An NBC News investigation found at least 2,123 cases of chlorine dioxide poisoning resulting in serious side effects in the U.S. since 2014. Of the 50 cases that were deemed “life-threatening,” eight people died. Doug Nash, a former mayor of San Juan Capistrano, California became a vocal opponent of MMS after he claimed the potion caused his wife’s immediate sickness and her death later that day in 2009.

“She tried it one time,” Nash told ABC Los Angeles. “And it caused her death in 12 hours.”
