Mark Dice
Mark Dice, also known as John Conner (both may be pseudonyms—verification by a reliable source is lacking), is a YouTuber, culture jammer and author based in San Diego, California.
Dice/Conner either founded or took over (sources differ) an organization,[1] variously called The Resistance for Christ, The Christian Resistance or The Resistance, which professes conspiratorial 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] and announced that he believes many female Fox News anchors who wear mini skirts look like prostitutes. [1]
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."
