Jim Marrs speaks on The Rise of the Fourth Reich at UFO Congress Convention

The Rise of the Fourth Reich

Jim Marrs

In his explosive new book The Rise of the 4th Reich, investigative journalist Jim Marrs, reveals the most horrendous secret of the 20th century – the Nazification of America.
The author of the underground bestseller Rule by Secrecy, reveals the frighteningly real possibility that today the United States is becoming a Fourth Reich, ruled by the same wealthy elite that originally funded German National Socialism, an ideology thought to have been vanquished more than a half century ago.

While the USA helped defeat the Germans in World War II, we failed to defeat the Nazis. At the end of WW II, ranking Nazis, along with their young and fanatical protégés, used the loot of Europe – perhaps including the legendary treasure of Solomon – to create corporate front companies in many countries, including the United States of America. Utilizing this stolen wealth, men with both Nazi backgrounds and mentality wormed their way into corporate America with the aid of the capitalists who had helped create Nazism. They slowly bought up and consolidated numerous companies into giant multinational corporate conglomerates. Many thousands of other Nazis came to the United States where their backgrounds were whitewashed in classified programs such as Project Paperclip. They brought with them miraculous weapon technology that helped win the space race but they also brought their insidious Nazi philosophy within our borders.

This concept may seem absurd to those who cannot see past the rose-colored spin, hype, and disinformation poured out daily by the corporate mass media—most of which is owned by the very same families and corporations who supported the Nazis before World War II.
Jim Marrs has gathered compelling evidence that an effort has been underway for the past 60 years to bring a form of National Socialism to modern America, creating in essence a modern empire–or “Fourth Reich.”
