Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight slammed the “appearance of Satan” in Hollywood, speaking out against what he sees as divisive forces in the United States. Voight commented during a discussion with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt after Schmitt said a lot of the cultural chaos America is experiencing has roots in Hollywood.

The host said, “You know, much of this cultural rot comes from where you live in southern California, in the business that you’re in. I’m not saying that as an insult; it’s just a fact.” Voight, who’s no stranger to speaking out about faith and politics, noted that he couldn’t be blamed for what’s happening and proceeded to detail what he sees as “disturbing” happenings.

He said, “In the time of my life, I’ve seen an enormous change in this country. And it’s all been quite disturbing.” Voight went on to claim the “agenda of the KGB,” the former USSR security agency, was to “divide the United States, divide the citizens of the United States, through the press, through the schools, take God out of the schools, and divide the country by race and age and gender.”

He said this was accomplished in a “rather short period of time” before delving into his beliefs about Marxism. Voight rhetorically asked, “What is Marxism based on? What is their engine that gives them guidance? It’s certainly not God, so we have a lot of atheism that’s coming forth.” In addition to atheism, the actor warned about the presence of evil.

Voight said, “Now we have an amazing, you know, appearance of Satan in our community now. It’s a difficult time.” Despite those tribulations, the actor said he has “great hope” as people discover “pernicious” activity unfolding. He concluded by proclaiming, “The truth will prevail.” The actor also discussed his new series “Land of Israel,” premiering on Newsmax.
