Yea, much to my shock, I began to observe some of these same, seemingly disturbing trends and elements on X (formally known as Twitter) now that Elon Musk has taken over the site. For instance, right after the terrorist organization Hamas had brutally murdered hundreds of Israelis on Oct. 7th, I started to notice some VERY unsettling hashtag trends on the site such as: #Israel/Nazism and the like, and numerous other antisemitic comments and posts that were quite alarming, to say the least. Some were from idiots on the left, but then I started to realize that I had never noticed that much antisemitism on Twitter before. EVER! Which led me to believe, that there very well may have been something more to it, and that it was much more subtle at its roots. As we all know, the site has become much more right-leaning (although in all fairness, much more free-speech oriented) since the Musk takeover. In other words, there very well may have been more to it then just what meets the eye. (When you really think it through). Just sayin'...

For whatever its worth, I can't help but disagree with the narrator's lumping in Oral Roberts with the other Televangelists in this video. In all fairness, Roberts (to the best of my knowledge) NEVER (at least not directly) aligned himself with the Christian Right. In that respect, he was one of the only Christian Evangelists like this. The same with Joel Osteen. In fact, Oral Roberts and Joel Osteen, whether you personally agree with their particular teachings (or like them) or not, are probably responsible for giving more people hope, and preventing suicides, then all the other Televangelists combined...
(Except, in the end, when Oral's son Richard started sending out these seemingly bizarre letters, stating something to the effect, that if you didn't send them more money, his father was going to die! Which seemed to eventually do in the ministry). Just sayin'...
David Pakman's take on a possible explanation as to how Hamas penetrated Israel's Iron Dome in the brutal terrorist attacks on Oct. 7th. VERY interesting. Link here...
