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] and that 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.

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][better source needed]}
