Texe Marrs - on the fringe of the wacko Christian Right

The Christian Right in this country is inundated with a variety of hucksters, shysters, con men, dribbling and drooling idiots, biblical illiterates, scientifically-challenged morons, criminals running so-called healing ministries, ethically bankrupt revivalists--and those are the "good" guys.

Few, however, can compare with Texe Marrs. We've written about this clown before, but it's important, I think, to note how depraved humans can become.

Marrs is "President of Power of Prophecy Ministries and RiverCrest Publishing in Austin, Texas." His website and monthly newsletter are called "Power of Prophecy." Marrs has a radio program. You can hear him on shortwave radio on Saturday nights from 7 - 8 p.m., Central Time, and on Sunday nights, from 9 - 10 p.m., Central Time.

According to the bio presented on his website, Marrs has written many books, three of which were supposedly "#1 Christian bestsellers."

Marrs claims to have been "assistant professor of aerospace studies, teaching American Defense Policy, strategic weapons systems, and related subjects at the University of Texas at Austin from 1977 to 1982. He has also taught international affairs, political science, and psychology for two other universities [unnamed]. A graduate Summa Cum Laude from Park University, Kansas City, Missouri, he earned his Master's degree at North Carolina State University.

If the above is true, it just goes to show that you can be educated and still crazy as hell!

Marrs also claims to have been "a career USAF officer (now retired), [during which time] he commanded communications-electronics and engineering units."

This information would indicate something is seriously screwed up at the University of Texas and in our military for this man is truly unhinged! To think he would be in charge of young minds or any military unit for any reason is beyond comprehension.


Power of Prophecy is similar to other convoluted, simple-minded fundamentalist organizations, in that they hold many beliefs in common:

Jesus Christ is God, "the one mediator between man and God."

The only valid bible for Marrs, however, is the King James version, which Marrs says "is God's perfect word ... without error, and is man's authoritative guide for how we should live."

"God alone has salvation power through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins."

God is bigger and more powerful than Satan.

Marrs also believes "in the power of Bible prophecy," because he is convinced that "God has preordained the future from the beginning and that He holds the future in His hand."


Some specific teachings of POP include:

POP is "biased in favor of the Truth." POP hates lies and false teachings and hatred and abortion "and other forms of sin and depravity." POP is not afraid of being branded "politically incorrect."

POP is neither Republican nor Democrat. Marrs will support whichever candidate "is in line with the Truth, found in the Holy Bible."

POP does not accept government money because government money "always comes with strings attached."


Texe Marrs is not afraid of speaking his mind. Unfortunately, that openness has most often resulted in offering the public a view of just how seriously deranged he is.

In March of 1997, Marrs denounced the Mattel Toy Company for its "Goddess of the Sun" Barbie doll. Marrs wondered if this doll represented "the Whore of Babylon spirit, alive and with us today?"

In August of 1997, Marrs said that the New International Version of the Bible was "a feminist book for the New Age."

On Feb. 16, 2008, during his Power of Prophecy radio program, Marrs claimed that the FBI shoots the pets of American citizens. He further said that the government was telling lies about al Qaeda and concocting bombings reported in Iraq during "Operation Iraqi Freedom."

Marrs has also said that "America is a psycopathic nation." [It takes one to know some?]

Marrs has said that "A church can become dysfunctional because a psycopath gains control, and it's not always the pastor...soon the whole church goes insane." [Now that may be true!]

Marrs does not care for John Hagee, which is rather amusing, as he is at least as nuts as is Hagee! He slammed Hagee for claiming that Jesus was not the Jewish messiah and said Hagee "may be possessed by Satan," and "Most of these fakers have diploma mill [degrees]," and "His books are ghost written," and "John Hagee is a faker."

Marrs has further stated that Hagee is a false prophet, and part of the "Judaizer movement, an apostate and an Antichrist." Hagee attacks the word of God and is in bed with Jews, Lucifer, Satan, and the serpent."

Marrs doesn't much like the Roman Catholic Church or Freemasonry or the New Age movements.

Marrs is anti-Semitic and offers for sale the discredited "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." About this book he has said that "The Illuminati's March of Death as I call it was revealed in advance in the satanically prophetic textbook of terror called The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Read what the Zionist monsters said they were going to do."

But Marrs says that doesn't mean he's anti-Semitic. "If we hated the Jews, we wouldn't want to see them in Heaven with us, would we? We'd want to see them go to Hell. But it's the Christian who truly loves the Jews, who truly wants the best for them. And that's why we preach to the Jews, as well as to gentiles."

"No Christian can be an anti-Semite. I cry tears for the Jewish men, women, and children about to be unknowingly sacrificed on the altar of Mammon. I plead with my Saviour, Jesus: Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do."

That's not anti-Semitic? And in other books, Marrs cements his anti-Semitism: "The Jews rule over us, and nothing will ever be the same."

On his website, he thunders that whole congregations of churches - Baptist, Pentecostal, and mainline denomination congregations are "going Jew! And their pastors demand to be called 'Rabbi'. Their people are wearing Jewish garments and are into Yiddish songs and dancing in a circle. Meanwhile, some are working on a Christian Talmud, a book of laws and traditions for all Christians to obey."


The above is just a small sampling of the insanity of this prophetic moron. On his website you'll find more of the same.

You can buy, for example, a tape of CD of something called "Will Barack Obama be Assassinated?--Why the Elite Cannot Let This Man Exercise the Awesome Powers of the American Presidency."

Other "products" connected with his radio program this week, include: "The Elite Serial Killers of Lincoln, JFK, RFK, and MLK"; "Triple Murder at Martha's Vineyard--Bill and Hillary Clinton, the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Jr.; "How the Illunimati Controls America (2-Hour Set)--The Synagogue of Satan and the Dancing Marionettes of the Democratic Party."

"McCain and His Masters"

"The Detention Camps Are Real"

"God, Magog, and the Scroll of Bush"

"Texe Marrs' Codex Magica Featured The Golem Monster"

Texe Marrs may be a raving lunatic, but there are enough crazed and deluded people in this country to provide him with the resources to continue producing his fantastical, anti-Semitic, misguided prophetic madness.

The really scary part is when you realize that many if not most of these people will find their way to a voting booth in November.

Sometimes I'm not sure if the light at the end of the tunnel which some people claim to see, is nothing more than the last flicker of human sanity.
