Media coverage
Marrs received coverage from the news media for his claims that:
- The Oklahoma City bombing was planned and carried out by the American government.[3] The terrorist Timothy McVeigh was framed.[4]
- Judaism is the most evil satanic cult that ever existed and Jews are conspiring to overtake the whole world through deceit and cultic worship.[5][6]
- Hillary Clinton is a doctrinaire Marxist who has recruited other America-hating subversives for key administration posts.[7] Hillary Clinton also has Orwellian political ambitions.[8] According to Marrs: "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."[9]
- "Newt Gingrich is a closet Marxist and member of the occultic secret society known as the Bohemian Grove."[9]
- "Bob Dole is a 33rd degree Mason and a fake conservative. He's anti-Jesus Christ."[9]
- Bill Martin's plans for a Christian naturist resort is evidence that Satan is subverting Christianity.[10]
- 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.[11]
- In his book, The Usual Suspects: Answering Anti-Catholic Fundamentalists, Karl Keating debates Marrs's claim that the Pope plans to head a one-world order.[12]
Public behavior
Marrs has been accused of being anti-Catholic.[13] 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.[14] Christian writer Constance Cumbey has accused Marrs of plagiarizing material from her book Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.[15] She requested her name never be associated with Texe Marrs because of his exaggerations and blatant anti-Semitism.
Additionally, Texe Marrs has promoted a book, The Greatest Lie on Earth: Proof That Our World is Not a Moving Globe, by Edward Hendrie, which alleges that the planet Earth is immobile and flat.[16] Marrs also offers Hendrie's book which asserts this argument through his ministry,[17] and books by Hendrie alleging that the world is being manipulated by a vast Jewish-Catholic conspiracy.[18]
