Mark Dice, also known by the pseudonym John Conner,[1][2][3] is an American commentator on conspiracy theories, morality and popular culture.
Conspiracy theories
Mark Dice is a member of the 9/11 truth movement and founder of Christian organization called "The Resistance."
Members of the group believe that a network of secret societies such as the Illuminati, Freemasons, Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove control the world, orchestrated the September 11, 2001 attacks as a pretext for the War on Terror and a police state, and secretly worship Lucifer. Members of the organization are known for calling in to talk radio shows.[1] Their ideas are detailed in Dice's book, The Resistance Manifesto.[4]
Actress Christine Ebersole has appeared on Dice's radio show saying she agrees with his 9/11 conspiracy theories that elements within the U.S. government were involved in the attacks.[5]
Protests and boycotts
Dice has promoted a boycott of the implantable radio-frequency identification (RFID) VeriChip, which Dice equates with the Number of the Beast.[6][7][8]
He has called for the Georgia Guidestones to be removed from public property because, he says, they are an occult monument and the New World Order's 10 Commandments.[1][9]
Dice protested against the Jessica Simpson music video These Boots Are Made for Walkin', saying that Simpson should issue an apology for offending the Christian community and reshoot a "cleaner" version.[10]
Dice boycotted the Oliver Stone film World Trade Center when it was released in 2006.[2] Dice and others were upset with Stone that the film was not a conspiracy film like JFK (1991), instead focusing on the true story of the rescue of two port authority workers.
In 2007, Dice protested that Duke University should change the name of its Duke Blue Devils sports team to something not offensive to the Christian community.[3]

'The satanic Georgia Guidestones must be destroyed,' insists John Conner of The Resistance. "The Guidestones should be smashed into a million pieces, and then the rubble used for a construction purpose." In addition to organizing national movements for the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones, members of The Resistance organize to hit the airwaves. They often flood the airwaves of call-in radio and television shows on topics of interests where they can throw the direction of the show and its host in their favour.

'It's in bad taste to name a team after the devil and to have a crowd sitting there cheering on the Devils,' said The Resistance spokesman Mark Dice, also known by the pseudonym John Conner. Officials at Duke's athletic department declined to comment for this story because The Resistance has yet to contact them. According to Duke's Web site, the mascot was inspired by a well-known group of French soldiers during World War I. 'Les Diables Bleus' were known as much for their courage as for their flowing blue capes.

A US site purporting to be a Christian resistance group is calling for a boycott of the VeriChip implantable microchip. The site calls VeriChip 'the mark of the Beast' as referred to in the Bible and claims that VeriChip is planned to rapidly replace credit and debit cards. In fact so far VeriChip has only been touted for use in medical cases.

A Christian group has a problem with the VeriChip implantable microchip, which it calls the 'mark of the Beast,' the U.K. web site The Inquirer reports. According to the report, while the web site is calling for a ban of the chip, it isn't clear if the web site is actually legitimate.
