Mark Dice, also known by the pseudonym John Conner is a San Diego, California author interests in conspiracies, morality and popular culture.

Dice founded an organization,[1] variously called The Resistance for Christ, The Christian Resistance or The Resistance, which professes certain beliefs about the illuminati, freemasons, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, the 9/11 attacks and satanism, and which has been reported to "flood the airwaves of call-in radio and television shows"[2] to promote them.

He has called for the Georgia Guidestones to be removed from public property,[2][3] protested a Jessica Simpson music video,[1] called for a boycott of the VeriChip,[1][4] called for a boycott of an Oliver Stone film,[5] called for Duke University to change the name of its sports team,[6] called for rapper 50 Cent to stop wearing a cross,[7] and claimed that Tom Cruise worships satan.[8] A gossip column reported[9] that he had announced a party to celebrate a Paris Hilton jail sentence, but was quickly thrown out by security for filming the party.[10]

He markets an assortment of products on a website which, according to The Inquirer's Nick Farrell,[1] is "full of tin foil hat wearing paranoia" that is "carried off in an amusing way."
