Life

According to Dees, he said he lived in a secret place in Sweden from 2003 to 2010, until the Swedish government asked him to leave the country in autumn 2010. Dees announced in March 2020 that he had been diagnosed with terminal melanoma and that he was rejecting conventional medical therapy; he then withdrew. He succumbed to cancer on May 31, 2020.

reception

The use of an illustration by Dees for a school book for Klett Verlag caused an international sensation in early 2017. After the ak [due] ll - Studentische Zeitung for Duisburg, Essen and the Ruhr area had published an article about the anti-Semitic caricature, articles also appeared in Vice-Magazin and the taz , which made it public that Klett was an illustration to explain the 2007 banking crisis Dees, in which a Pac-Man controlled by the Rothschild banking house devours the European continent. Klett-Verlag stopped delivering the book. The Greens MP Volker Beck criticized that "the illustration could be used in schools for four years without anyone noticing their clear anti-Semitism or doing anything against the textbook." The Anti-Defamation League considers Dees to be a conspiracy theorist , Holocaust denier and Anti-semites.
