Mark Shouldice (born December 21, 1977), known professionally as Mark Dice,[1] is an American commentator,[3] and author known for his conspiracy theories about secret societies such as The Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove events, Satanists and the Illuminati control of the world.[4][5][3][6]

Career

In 2005, Dice wrote The Resistance Manifesto, a book on Illuminati and New World Order conspiracy theories, and quickly gained popularity on the Internet.[7][8] In 2009, he published The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction, discussing the possibility of an Illuminati secret society.[9] In 2010, The History Channel series Decoded featured Dice who met with the show's investigators to discuss the Illuminati secret society.[10] Dice has also been featured in Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura on TruTV[11][dead link] and America's Book of Secrets.[12]

More recently, Dice produced a series of YouTube videos where he attempts to get people in public places to sign satirical petitions, such as repealing the Bill of Rights "for Obama" and granting Obama immunity for any and all crimes he commits while in office.[13] The videos were discussed on Fox & Friends and in The Washington Times.[14][15]

A New York Magazine writer made a facetious comment in 2013 that actor River Phoenix had not really died, but was "said to be living now as conspiracy theorist Mark Dice".[16] In 2015, the Los Angeles Times derided Dice for his theory that Katy Perry was Satanic, and his theory that the Super Bowl halftime shows were elaborate Illuminati rituals.[17]

Michael Reagan controversy

In June 2008, Dice launched a campaign urging people to send letters and DVDs to troops stationed in Iraq, which supported the theory that the September 11 attacks in 2001 were an "inside job".[18] "People want the facts. The Marines are hungry for the truth—what got them there [in Iraq], why are they risking their lives—and we’re going to help them understand that", he told Fox News. "Operation Inform the Soldiers," as Dice has called it, prompted syndicated talk show host Michael Reagan to comment that Dice should be found and tried for treason. Reagan said on June 10, 2008: "How about you take Mark Dice out and put him in the middle of a firing range. Tie him to a post, don't blindfold him, let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice." Reagan added that he would pay for the bullets.[19][20] Dice appeared on Reagan's show the following week and received an apology.[19] The progressive activist group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) has since asked Reagan's syndicator (Radio America) to explain whether it permits "its hosts to call for murder on the air."[19]
