Encyclopedia
Mark Dice is an author, pop culture critic, and political activist based in San Diego, California
.
Dice and his supporters have been reported to "flood the airwaves of call-in radio
and television shows," a practice called phone mobbing, to promote these ideas. His first book, a 450-page manifesto titled, The Resistance Manifesto (2005) details these beliefs. .
operates under the cover of various organizations and manipulate political and financial arenas, slowly eroding the Constitution and America’s sovereignty, pushing towards a New World Order
global socialized government. This "Illuminati" that he talks about is an alleged corrupt extension of the historical (and real) Illuminati secret society founded in Germany in 1776, but was said to have been stamped out by authorities after their plans to infiltrate and overthrow all state and local governments were discovered. Dice also believes that the New World Order promotes immorality, selfishness, materialism, and purposefully aims to keep the population entertained with television and issues of little significance in order to separate them from the political process, thus allowing the Illuminati to operate without much opposition.
In May 2009 Dice released a The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction, which analyzes the possibility of the existence of the Illuminati secret society and the many allegations and conspiracy theories surrounding the group. While Dice's writings detail his belief that the Illuminati are still functioning today as a mafia and insists it is not a "conspiracy theory", some of his research is dedicated to debunking various conspiracy theories and separating the facts from the fiction; hence the "Facts & Fiction" subtitle for several of his books.
, boycotts, and pop culture criticism.
For example, Dice boycotted the 2010 Super Bowl, urging people to read a book about American history or politics instead of watching the game because he believed Americans were becoming dumb.
Believing that Facebook has become an obsession for most people and leads to self-absorption and narcissism
, he announced "Facebook-Free Week" urging people not to log on for one week, and instead connect with family and friends face to face over dinner or drinks.

a "singing stripper" for dropping her good girl image in her Boots Are Made for Walking Video," called out rapper 50 Cent
saying he was a bad role model and said he should retire and has publicly given Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan unsolicited personal advice. One Christmas he started what he called the Paris Hilton Holiday Food Drive, purposefully hijacking the celebrity's name, hoping it would encourage people to donate nonperishable food to the needy, believing she was involved.
In 2009, Dice urged his supporters to disrupt the premier of the film Angels & Demons because "Dan Brown spins it to make everybody think [the Illuminati] is a conspiracy theory, the figment of the imaginations of conspiracy theorists" when he believes the Illuminati exist and were responsible for the 9/11 attacks and the banking collapse.
Dice is a regular guest on various AM talk radio shows such as The Alex Jones Show, and has appeared on Coast to Coast AM
, KFI 640AM Los Angeles
, Mancow's Morning Madhouse

, one scene shows a heated confrontation between Dice and actor Danny Bonaduce
surrounding their disagreement on the 9/11 attacks and the War in Iraq. He is also featured in Invisible Empire (2010) which is directed by Jason Bermas
and produced by Jones.
Dice has produced various YouTube videos that have gone viral and received hundreds of thousands of views and have earned him a mention on ABC's The View, The Fox News Channel, Conan O'Brien, and other shows. In other events, he had people sign a petition to repeal the first amendment (the freedom of speech) to show how ignorant people were; offered a one ounce gold coin for sale which cost US$1100 per ounce at the time, but only asked a few dollars for from random people on the street to see if they knew anything about gold and would buy it (nobody wanted it); he shipped a box of garbage to Glenn Beck at the Fox News Channel because he didn't like something he said about him, and his early videos showed him interrupting college classes at UCLA, San Diego State, UCSD, and other SoCal schools, and then giving away DVDs of documentary films, including Loose Change, supporting the 9/11 truth movement
.
The History Channel series Decoded featured Dice, who met with the show's investigators to discuss the Illuminati secret society.

s to troops stationed in Iraq which support the theory that the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job". “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. His aims were to inform troops about the alleged lies that lead to war and create an environment where they could safely discuss these sensitive issues amongst each other.
"Operation Inform the Soldiers," as Dice has called it, prompted syndicated talk show host Michael Reagan
(son of President Ronald Reagan
) to comment that Dice should be found and killed 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. Dice reported Reagan to the FBI, but no charges were filed.
Reagan was not punished by his sydicator or the FCC despite a campaign by Dice to have him fired. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting
has asked Radio America to explain whether it permits "its hosts to call for murder on the air."
