Mark Dice
Mark Dice is an author and commentator on conspiracy theories, morality and pop culture issues.
Protests
Dice protested against Jessica Simpson's music video These Boots Are Made For Walking,[1][2] demanding that Simpson issue an apology for offending the Christian community and reshoot a new "cleaner" music video for the song. Simpson issued a public statement in which she announced, "It didn't really surprise me because I grew up with a lot of that backlash. That's why I didn't end up going into the Christian music industry. I think that if they're really good Christians the judgment wouldn't be there."[3]
Dice targeted rapper 50 Cent saying he should not wear a Christian cross anymore because, “He is defaming the cross and committing blasphemy by wearing it while he raps about killing people for no reason because he’s a big bad ‘gangster.’[4] 50 Cent's manager Chris Lighty responded saying the request was 'absurd' and, "They should look up our charitable deeds before casting a stone. This is entertainment and no one is forcing them to listen to the music or watch any of the videos. It's an individual choice."[5]
In 2007, Dice protested Duke University and demanded that the school change the name of their sports team, the Blue Devils, to something not offensive to the Christian community.[6]
Dice is calling for the Georgia Guidestones to be removed from public property saying they are an occult monument and the New World Order's 10 Commandments.[1]
Boycotts
Dice has been promoting a boycott of the implantible VeriChip which some consider a privacy concern[7][8] and which Dice equates with the "Number of the Beast."[9][10]
The Los Angeles Times reported that Dice organized a boycott of Oliver Stone's film World Trade Center when it was released in 2006 because it wasn't a conspiracy film like Stone's JFK.[2] Dice denounced the film as "the biggest 9/11 whitewash in history."[3]
Conspiracy theories
Mark Dice started his writing and activism using the pseudonym "John Conner" which he no longer uses.[citation needed] He is a member of the 9/11 truth movement and is known for calling in to talk radio shows in attempts to get the hosts to talk about the Bohemian Grove and 9/11 conspiracy theories.
In December 2006, Dice gained national media attention [4] [5]for ambushing Danny Bonaduce during his meal on Hollywood Boulevard by asking him on camera if he thought the September 11, 2001 attacks were an inside job. Bonaduce responded civilly until Dice inferred that the U.S. deliberately committed terrorism as a pretext for war. In June 2007, Dice interviewed Bonaduce again. It was friendlier than their first encounter.[6]
Tony Award winning actress Christine Ebersole and Tony nominated actor Daniel Sunjata have both appeared on Dice's radio show saying they agree with his 9/11 conspiracy theories that elements within the U.S. government were involved in the attacks.[7] [8]
Dice is the founder of a Christian organization called "The Resistance for Christ" or "The Christian Resistance" (often called "The Resistance" for short) which claims to be a world wide movement "fighting the New World Order" and upholding Christian values in society and in the media. Dice and others who support his organization believe that a network of secret societies (the Illuminati, Freemasons, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, etc) control the world, orchestrated the September 11th attacks as a pretext for the War on Terror and a domestic Police State, and secretly worship Lucifer. These ideas are detailed in his book, The Resistance Manifesto.[11]
