Texe Marrs (1944-2019) is a good case study of paranoid conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists are often, but not always, anti-Semites. When I first heard about Marrs in the 90's, I received his newsletter (then known as
Flashpoint). Marrs mostly dealt with crackpot conspiracies centering around the supposed New World Order and topics such as Yale's secret society Skull and Bones.
A few years ago, I checked out Marrs' website and took Marrs up on his offer again to receive his newsletter for free. When I received the first newsletter (now called
Power of Prophesy), I discover than Marrs is now a full-blown anti-Semite, selling the long-discredited anti-Semitic hoax
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The newsletter below markets his $25 book
Conspiracy of The Six-Pointed Star. More of Marrs' lunatic beliefs
here.
2020 UPDATE: Texe Marrs died on November 23, 2019. Since the date of his death is the anniversary of JFK's assassination, undoubtedly some of his followers have undobtedly concocted conspiracy theories about this. His last book Psychopaths: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow was published posthumously.
