I’m not sure if this is one of Texe Marrs’ best books or not. I haven’t read one of his books for two-decades. I found this one in the basement. Having never read it, I gave it a go.
Although he often says that his material is not intended to be alarmist for Christians, nor is it to be despairing to believers, yet it is both. Yet Christ spoke of wars and rumors of wars, and God knows that His listeners had to feel their spirits quenched while hearing such devastating words.
The same thing can happen while reading one of Texe Marrs’ books, and “Mega Forces” is no different. For some this type of material gives a sense of relief as in, “Yes, the end is almost here…we’re about to go home to Heaven!” For others, they feel dread and fear while reading this type of book. Marrs hasn’t done anything different than what his Master did while foretelling the future. The only difference is there is more speculation on Marrs’ part than the Messiah’s.
In a way, this book like a “What If” book. What if they use gene splicing to create super soldiers for WWIII? What if they use robots infused with artificial intelligence and cyborgs? What if they use psychotronic murder to assassinate prime ministers of opposing nations? What if each global leader is protected/surrounded by psychic bodyguards?
That last sentence I threw in simply because, while Marrs didn’t actually write it down, it is implied by the imagination by his chapter dealing with psychotronic mind control in Chapter Eleven “Brain Invaders: Psychic Warfare.” This was my favorite chapter because it denotes the sinister aspects of our military involved in remote viewing and possible hypnotic assignation attempts, something any worldly government would love to utilize. The way he set the chapter up made it more believable when he quotes U.S. Army Lt. Col. John B. Alexander from the U.S. Army’s “Military Review Journal” in December 1980:
“The ability to heal or cause disease can be transmitted over distance, thus inducing illness or death for no apparent cause.”
Marrs’ next paragraph seals this unbelievable information in cement with Marrs’ convincing narrative:
“For those of you who are prone to believe that Lt. Col. Alexander possibly lost his mind, consider the fact that this was an article published in a staid, conservative U.S. Military journal read almost exclusively by senior military brass and civilian defense analysts. Actually, Alexander was merely summarizing some of the shocking conclusions already made by the Pentagon based on decades of ultra secret research on mind control and psychic means of conducting warfare and intelligence operations.”
The rest of the book is like what I’ve just described
Personally, having studied journalism and marketing in college, I felt some of his insinuations were alluded to and/or close to fabrications. That is my major critique. For example, just because they can use gene splicing and cloning doesn’t mean they’ll clone super soldiers. It is possible? Yes. But, in retrospect, from 2017, it saddens me to see that Marrs almost completely missed talking about drones armed with missiles. Think about it! Had he written about armed drones blowing people up through remote control, he could be using that on his resume’ as being a “futurist”, as someone who foresaw this happening.
But he didn’t write much about drones. He wrote about a missile using a fiber optic cable controlled via remote control by a soldier and compared it to a video game, but that’s as close as he came. That said, perhaps that technology using fiber optic cables was the foundation from which drones sprang from. If so, he could release an updated version of the book stating so.
A second (minor) critique is that he blasted so much information into the reader’s mind that it was difficult to digest. Perhaps halving the information yet citing more credible sources would have made more of an impact. For example, chapter eleven that I’ve already mentioned. There is a ton of information just about remote viewing that he could have gleaned, not to mention the other psychic warfare and intelligence tactics known as psychotronic weapons.
What I like is Marrs ability to navigate through all the information in an intelligent manner. The sheer amount of information, speculation, cited sources and quotes had to have been an absolute nightmare. Yet he conquered that mountain splendidly.
Would I recommend this book to another person? Probably not, but not because it wasn’t good. It’s just a bit outdated now. Books delving into futuristic endeavors are always forgotten UNLESS they pinpoint with accuracy at least one major event in the future. He used a shotgun approach and said it could be ‘this or this or this or this’ used in Armageddon, but he never took a chance and named anything as absolute. Although he did mention warfare in the future will involve less hand-to-hand and more technological combat in which you never see the face of your target.
If someone DID read the book today, I would think it would be to see how many predictions had come true. It is good to read to compare it to 2017 today. He came very close prophetically in several areas. I learned a lot about our military (chapter eleven made my skin crawl). It is a good read, well written and edited exceptionally.
I just read the ratings of the other reviewers who gave it either a 4 or 5 star. I was going to give it a 3 star. But, upon retrospect, after considering those who have given it higher ratings, I realize I was comparing it to something that might have been written today. This book came out decades ago, and as such, it is a classic in its sub-genre.
