Texe W. Marrs (born 1944) is an American writer, who runs a Christian ministry called Power of Prophecy Ministries, based in Austin, Texas.[2]
He was previously an officer in the United States Air Force and a faculty member at the University of Texas.[2]
Media coverage [edit]
Marrs has received coverage from the news media for his claims that:
- The Oklahoma City bombing was planned and carried out by the American government.[3]
- Timothy McVeigh was framed.[4]
- Hillary Rodham Clinton is a "doctrinaire Marxist" who has recruited "other America-hating subversives for key administration posts".[5]
- "Newt Gingrich is a closet Marxist and member of the occultic secret society known as the Bohemian Grove."[6]
- "Bill Clinton is an establishment hack, a member of the traitorous Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, and Council of Foreign Relations. He and Hillary are deep into Egyptian occultism and Masonic magic."[6]
- "Robert Dole is a 33rd degree Mason and a fake conservative. He's anti-Jesus Christ."[6]
- Insistence that Bill Martin's plans for a Christian naturist resort is evidence that Satan is subverting Christianity.[7]
- Described as the "conspiracy theorist to end all conspiracy theorists" for his book Codex Magica: Secret Signs, Mysterious Symbols, and Hidden Codes of the Illuminati, which purports to expose a secret conspiracy between politicians and other famous people through modern history.[8]
- Accused Hillary Rodham Clinton of having "Orwellian" political ambitions.[9]
- In his book, The Usual Suspects: Answering Anti-Catholic Fundamentalists, Karl Keating debunks Marrs's claim that the Pope plans to head a one-world order, which is described by a reviewer as one of the more bizarre anti-catholic conspiracy theories.[10]
- His statement (with Karen Read) that "the exclusion of women from combat inevitably makes them second- class citizens in the military."[11]
Criticism [edit]
Marrs has been accused of being anti-Catholic.[12] In 1999 he alleged that former United States President George H.W. Bush would be involved in a black mass in a chamber within the Great Pyramid of Giza during the 2000 millennium celebrations.[13] Christian writer Constance Cumbey has accused Marrs of plagiarism of material from her book Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.[14]
