Louisiana Televangelist Says God Told Him He Needs $54 Million Private Jet Then Asks His Followers for Donations

SMH! These false prophets ministers wonder why religion is deemed one of the world’s oldest shakedowns outside of prostitution.

I am all for prosperity but it is extremely hard to wrap my head around the church’s “need” for a $54 MILLION jet. Unless Duplantis is jetsetting around the world nonstop saving God’s people, I can’t see how this is justified other than pure G-R-E-E-D.

What a con.

WWJD?

Via KTLA – Jesse Duplantis Ministries has three private jets, but Duplantis says he needs one more. As the televangelist who preaches the controversial “prosperity gospel” explained to his followers in a video last week, if Jesus Christ walked the earth today, “he wouldn’t be riding a donkey.’

There’s just one thing: To buy that $54 million private jet (Duplantis has his eye on a Dassault Falcon 7x), the Louisiana preacher needs his followers to donate money to the cause. As for those aforementioned three jets, the most recent of which was purchased in 2006, the ministry has been “just burning them up for the Lord Jesus Christ,” Duplantis said in the video, according to NOLA.com.

The Falcon 7x, with a range of 5,950 nautical miles, is needed “so we can go anywhere in the world in one stop,” he explained. None of his other jets can do that.

Duplantis told his followers that God told him, “I want you to believe in me for a Falcon 7X.” He said viewers should “pray about becoming a partner to it.”

He addressed the possible controversial nature of his request, according to KTLA sister station WGNO in New Orleans: “Now some people believe that preachers shouldn’t have jets. I really believe that preachers ought to go on every available voice, every available outlet, to get this gospel preached to the world.”

He has defended his use of private planes in the past in what the Washington Post called a “widely mocked” video in which he and another preacher said, among other things, that you can’t speak openly to God on a commercial airliner.

Lawmakers Brawl In Uganda Parliament Over Presidential Age Limit

Ugandan politicians went to war for 2 days straight in a WWE tag team style brawl over the country’s presidential age limit.

Reuters — Lawmakers brawled in Uganda’s parliament for a second day running on Wednesday over a fiercely disputed move to change the constitution to let long-ruling President Yoweri Museveni run for re-election after age 75.

MPs exchanged blows and kicks, with some using microphone stands as crude weapons in the melee, and at least two female lawmakers were carried out of the chamber after collapsing, a Reuters journalist on the scene said.

At least 25 MPs opposed to the proposed constitutional amendment to prolong Museveni’s tenure were forcibly ejected on orders of the speaker for involvement in fighting on Tuesday. All other like-minded MPs then walked out.

After calm returned, ruling party MP Raphael Magyezi introduced the contested motion authorizing parliament to draft and present a bill that would lift the constitution’s age cap on presidential candidates.

Under the existing constitution, eligibility to stand as a presidential candidate in the East African country has an age ceiling of 75.

That makes Museveni, 73, in power since 1986 and increasingly accused of authoritarianism and a failure to curb corruption, unqualified to seek re-election at the next polls in 2021. Removing the age cap would erase that barrier.

Smh, clearly the US isn’t the only country that has ahem… “president probs.” 

It’s really shameful that politicians and lawmakers can’t seem to come together and do their jobs without pure hellfire and brimstone unleashing. It’s unfortunate that they don’t seem as concerned about helping the people as they do “flexing their power” among each other, meanwhile WE THE PEOPLE are casualties of the war.

WATCH: Is Haiti Prison The Most Evil In The World? 

This eye opening documentary goes deep inside the trenches of Haiti’s biggest prison. 

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean and the world, is plagued with extreme crime and poverty.

The film highlights the severe overcrowding and uncontionably inhumane conditions that inmates are forced to live in inside the prison. It also exposes the brazen corruption within the Haitian judicial system.

This place makes Pelican Bay or Rikers Island look like a 5 star resort in comparison. I don’t doubt that US prisoners have it hard behind bars but inevitably nothing compares to the struggle in foreign prisons. Mainly because they have absolutely no regulations or regard for human life.

It’s impossible to fathom anyone living under such diabolical conditions.
