As the JFK 50th Anniversary looms, I land the biggest interview of my career in the form of truther-journalist icon Jim "A View From" Marrs. We discuss a broad overview of his books and work, from JFK revelations in "Crossfire" to the alien agendas of "Our Occulted History." You don't wanna miss this one! P.S.: I am sorry about the terribly annoying audio clipping in regards to my voice. This is what happens when you use an Android call recording program. Try to bear with it. The information in this talk is still top of the pops. Recorded November 11, 2013 Jim Marrs (born December 5, 1943) is an American former newspaper journalist and New York Times best-selling author of books and articles on a wide range of alleged cover ups and conspiracies.[1] Marrs is a prominent figure in the JFK conspiracy press and his book Crossfire was a source for Oliver Stone's film JFK. He has written books asserting the existence of government conspiracies regarding aliens, 9/11, telepathy, and secret societies. He was once a news reporter in the Dallas--Fort Worth Metroplex and has taught a class on the assassination of John F. Kennedy at University of Texas at Arlington for 30 years. Marrs is a member of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth. Since 1980, Marrs has been a free-lance writer, author, and public relations consultant. He has also published a rural weekly newspaper along with a monthly tourism tabloid, a cable television show, and several videos. Since 1976, Marrs has taught a course on the assassination of Kennedy at the University of Texas at Arlington.[3][not in citation given] Beginning in 1992, Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a top-secret government program called the Stargate Project involving the psychic phenomenon known as remote viewing, only to have the program canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995. Within two months, the story of military-developed remote viewing broke nationally in the Washington Post after the CIA revealed the program. In May 1997, Marrs' investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, was published by HarperCollins Publishers. Publishers Weekly described Alien Agenda as "the most entertaining and complete overview of flying saucers and their crew in years." The paperback edition was released in mid-1998. It has been translated into several foreign languages and become the top-selling UFO book in the world. In early 2000, HarperCollins published Rule by Secrecy, which claimed to trace a hidden history connecting modern secret societies to ancient and medieval times. This book also reached the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2003, his book The War on Freedom probed the alleged conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. It was released in 2006 under the title The Terror Conspiracy.[4] Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the annual International UFO Congress[5][not in citation given] and the annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference,[6] but he also speaks at local conferences, such as Conspiracy Con[7] and The Bay Area UFO Expo.[8] Beginning in 2000, he began teaching a course on UFOs at the University of Texas at Arlington. Marrs usually also gives a book signing at Brave New Books in Austin, Texas at least once a year. Marrs has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, C-SPAN, The Discovery Channel, TLC, The History Channel, This Morning America, Geraldo, The Montel Williams Show, Today, TechTV, Larry King (with George Noory), and Art Bell radio programs, as well as numerous national and regional radio and TV shows. In October 2011, Jim Marrs started his own radio program, "A View from Marrs" on the Jeff Rense Radio network airing three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3 pm Central time. Marrs has on his show a wide variety of guests and dedicated the entire month of November to the latest information regarding the JFK assassination. He also has subject matter on UFO research, survival tips, and much more. This radio program was cancelled due to his two upcoming book contracts. With a friend, Michael H. Price, Jim Marrs completed a Comic Book entitled, "Oswald's Confession & Other Tales from the War" published by Cremo Studios, Inc., in 2012 with Jim as also the cartoonist of this book. February 2013 Jim Marrs' book, "Our Occulted History: Do the Global Elite Conceal Ancient Aliens?" was published by HarperCollins.
