Overview of Victor Marx: The Man Who Weaponized Faith. | Candace Ep 329
This episode of The Candace Owens Show (Ep. 329) is an extended interview between Candace Owens and Corby Hall (founder of FullDR). Corby recounts his multi‑year business and personal relationship with Victor Marx (name appears in the transcript also as Victor Marks), the founder of the All Things Possible (ATP) movement and promoter of a compact AR platform (“Fold AR”). The conversation combines allegations about spiritual manipulation, business pressure and coercion, suspicious weapons requests and transfers, psychological tactics used by Marx/Marks, and worrying overlaps with political and charitable networks.
Main takeaways
- Corby Hall describes being drawn in by a spiritual ritual called a “retooling prayer” at Victor’s Colorado Springs property that functioned like a quasi‑exorcism and elicited his deepest insecurities.
- A business partnership formed around a Victor Marx signature Fold AR (compact, caliber‑swap AR platform) and an ATP charitable mission to equip school resource officers (SROs) with rifles.
- Over 2023–2025 interactions escalated from product demos and PR to coercive demands: requests to supply weapons for extrajudicial operations in Haiti, talk of providing tens of thousands of guns to foreign military actors (IDF), and an alleged attempt to obtain controlling equity (51%) in Corby’s company.
- Corby reports emotional abuse, manipulative spiritual control, a threatening text suggesting he could be “disappeared,” a verbal threat claiming “I could whoop your ass,” and staged intimidation (bodyguards, vests, cameras).
- Corby sold one Fold AR to a Texas officer (June 2024); the weapon was reported stolen July 4. An ATF trace related to that serial number arrived in Corby’s inbox on Sept 10 (the transcript links that date to the day of Charlie Kirk’s killing), which raised further concern and interest in tracing the weapon’s movement.
- The episode reframes these events as part of a broader pattern Candace is investigating: the abuse of faith and pastoral authority to manipulate people and empower networks that mix religion, politics and private operations.
Key people and entities
- Corby Hall — founder/inventor at FullDR (Fold AR manufacturer).
- Victor Marx / Victor Marks — founder of All Things Possible (ATP). (Transcript alternates spelling.)
- Eileen — Victor’s wife/partner (participated in rituals and visions).
- Chaz — COO of ATP (text messages included in the narrative).
- Charlie Kirk — referenced as having had a falling out with Victor; his death/context is a broader thread in Candace’s investigation.
- Sebastian Gorka — appeared as a platform where Victor discussed the Fold AR and the SRO mission.
- “Jimmy Barbecue” (Jimmy Cherizier) — Haitian gang leader referenced by Victor in discussing potential extrajudicial action.
- Douglas County, local ISD — parties who received demos / the school that received 5 rifles funded by Hall.
Concise timeline (as described in the episode)
- Late Nov / Dec 1, 2023: Corby and his wife travel to Colorado Springs for a demo. First “retooling prayer” and ritual; Corby says demons were named and “judged,” and deeply personal fears were elicited.
- January 2024 (SHOT Show, Vegas): Corby builds a Victor signature Fold AR; Victor officiates a quick wedding between Corby and his then‑fiancée in Vegas (certificate executed but licensing questions remain).
- Summer 2024: Corby funds and delivers five Fold ARs to a local ISD (ATP paid Corby back later). ATP’s SRO mission is discussed but doesn’t scale beyond that delivery.
- June 2024: Corby ships a Fold AR to a Texas buyer (police officer) — sale recorded.
- July 4, 2024: That Texas buyer reports the rifle stolen from his vehicle in Midland, TX.
- Aug 2024: Corby returns to Colorado; Victor pushes for a thousand‑yard rifle/camera for use in Haiti, allegedly to target or deter people climbing a fence at an orphanage. Corby refuses to supply weapons for extrajudicial uses.
- Sept 10 (year in transcript tied to Charlie Kirk’s death): Corby receives ATF trace notice for the stolen Fold AR serial number — he later learns the buyer reported the gun stolen.
- Feb 2025: Corby discontinues daily THC use (says it had been a dependency).
- Early April 2025: Corby makes an extended visit to Victor’s property. During this meeting Corby alleges:
- Pressure to sell a controlling stake (51%) in his company at a low valuation.
- Discussion of sending tens of thousands of rifles to Israeli forces / foreign operations.
- Physical and spiritual intimidation (bodyguards, cameras, bulletproof vests), a remark that “I could whoop your ass,” and an alleged threat in a prior text that he could have Corby “disappeared.”
Weapons- and ballistics‑related concerns discussed
- The Fold AR: a compact, folding AR design with a quick‑change barrel system (caliber/barrel swap via a push‑pin). Corby describes this as one reason special forces and IDF operators were interested.
- Barrel‑swap scenario: Corby explains a possible technique where an operator could shoot with one barrel system, then swap barrels and remove identifiable ballistic signatures — a plausible method to complicate forensic tracing if components are removed or separated after a shooting.
- Ballistic fit to the Charlie Kirk killing (discussion by Corby and Candace):
- They discussed 300 Blackout (especially subsonic) and .223/5.56 profiles. Subsonic 300 BLK rounds are more likely than many rifle calibers to remain inside a body (no exit wound) and can behave differently depending on suppressor usage, bullet type, and shooting angle.
- Corby notes a 223/5.56 (the barrel type shipped in the missing rifle) generally has much higher velocity and is more likely to exit; therefore a 5.56 profile is less consistent with a no‑exit‑wound scenario.
- They present this as context for how a folding, caliber‑swap AR could be used or concealed in an attack and why tracing missing components matters.
Psychological tactics and cult‑like patterns alleged
- “Retooling prayer” ritual: Corby describes an exercise that created a “circle of judgment,” involved naming demons attached to a person, eliciting immediate verbal responses to prompts, and “judging” and dismembering those demons in front of witnesses. Corby felt this ritual functioned to extract vulnerabilities and bond people to the ritual leader.
- DARVO behavior: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender — Corby and Candace describe seeing patterns where accusations are denied, critics are attacked, and roles are reversed, which is used to silence or control dissent.
- Emotional leverage: speaker(s) used revelations of intimate fears (kids, love, fraud) to create intimacy quickly and then leveraged those disclosures.
- Spiritual authority misuse: The interview frames Marx/Marks as using claimed pastoral/prophetic authority to push business and geopolitical agendas and to silence questions through spiritual framing (“God ordained,” visions).
Notable allegations that listeners should note
- Spiritual manipulation: ritualistic practices that served to create dependence and disclose private vulnerabilities.
- Business coercion: requests to buy a controlling interest at a low valuation, promises of connections and funding tied to acquiescing to non‑business demands.
- Weapons and export concerns: requests to manufacture/deliver dozens to thousands of rifles (including possible shipment to Haiti or foreign forces), and one Fold AR sold to a Texas officer later reported stolen and ATF‑traced.
- Threatening conduct and intimidation: alleged texts suggesting disappearance, in‑person threats, and a staged environment of bodyguards/cameras to intimidate.
- Possible overlapping networks: ties or associations (real or claimed) with political figures, ministries, and charitable initiatives that Candace connects to a broader pattern of faith‑based influence and abuse.
Action items / suggested follow‑up lines (what Corby and Candace say they or others should pursue)
- For investigators / interested parties:
- Follow the ATF trace chain for the stolen Fold AR: which FFL sold it, what trace records were made, and whether the gun‑shop/customer file corroborates the officer’s account.
- Verify licenses/certificates: was Victor authorized to officiate marriages in the jurisdictions claimed? Does ATP have transparent 501(c)(3) filings for the SRO mission?
- Check export and trafficking rules related to shipments to Haiti; clarify whether any export filings or State Department permissions were pursued or obtained.
- Collect and preserve communications (texts, recordings) between Corby, Victor, Chaz and ATP for forensic review.
- If there are complaints about threats/harassment/disappearance offers, report to law enforcement with timestamps and exhibitable evidence.
- For viewers/readers:
- Be cautious about spiritual leaders who claim unquestionable authority, mix pastoral roles with business control, or require public disclosure of deep personal vulnerabilities as a condition of fellowship.
- Learn DARVO and other manipulative tactics to recognize when denial-and-attack strategies are being used to silence critique.
Notable quotes from the interview
- Corby describing the ritual: “He establishes a circle of judgment…asks how many demons are assigned…names them…and commands angels to make the demon kneel.”
- Corby on the emotional impact: “You are telling him your deepest fears…you’ve instantly established an emotional connection with these people…you shared something you would not share with a person you met.”
- On threats and coercion: Victor allegedly texted, “I can just have you disappeared…I can have you knocked off or disappeared to a banana plantation in South America.” In person, Corby says Marx told him “I could whoop your ass and there ain’t nothing you could do about it.”
- Candace’s framing: “Faith has been used to manipulate the masses…faith has been used to maybe cover up for evil.”
Final summary note
This episode presents a first‑hand account from an inventor and small manufacturer about how a charismatic spiritual figure entered his professional life and used ritualized spirituality, emotional leverage, promises of mission and funding, and coercive behavior to try to influence business decisions and personal actions. The conversation ties weapons‑technical issues (folding AR, quick‑change barrels) to accountability questions (a missing, ATF‑traced rifle) and broader cultural concerns about how faith and influence are being weaponized in political and charitable networks. Candace frames the story as part of a larger investigation into faith‑based manipulation, and Corby outlines both forensic directions (ATF trace, gun‑shop records, export legality) and psychological red flags for listeners to watch.
