Alma materCalifornia State University
Occupation(s)Author, political activist and conspiracy theorist

Mark Shouldice, known professionally as Mark Dice,[1] is a far-right American author, political activist and conspiracy theorist based in San Diego, California, who argues that the New World Order and secret societies, such as the Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove, direct human affairs and global politics, particularly those of the United States. Books authored by him included The Resistance Manifesto (2005), published under the name of John Conner.[2]

Career

In May 2009, Dice self-published The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction discussing the possibility of an Illuminati secret society.[3]

Dice has produced various YouTube videos that have gone viral and received millions of views [4] and have earned him a mention on ABC's The View,[5] The Fox News Channel,[6] Conan O'Brien, and other shows. In 2010 he shipped a box of garbage to Glenn Beck at the Fox News Channel for what he considered disrespect of the "Truther movement".[7] More recently, Dice produced a series of YouTube videos where he successfully attempts to get random people to sign petitions supporting ridiculous things such as repealing the Bill of Rights "for Obama" and granting Obama immunity for any and all crimes he commits while in office.[8] The videos have received national attention.[9]

The History Channel series Decoded featured Dice, who met with the show's investigators to discuss the Illuminati secret society.[10] He was in the pilot episode of Culture Shock with Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee,[11] an investigative travel show, but the series was not picked up.[12] He is also featured in Secret Societies of Hollywood on E![13] and Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura on TruTV.[14]

Dice is a regular guest on conspiracy-friendly radio shows, including The Alex Jones Show[9] and Coast to Coast AM.[15]

Michael Reagan controversy

In June 2008, Dice launched a campaign urging people to send letters and DVDs to troops stationed in Iraq which support the theory that the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job".[16] “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 (son of former 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.[17]

Dice launched an ultimately unsuccessful campaign attempting to have Reagan punished by his syndicator or the Federal Communications Commission. The progressive activist group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting has since asked Reagan's syndicator (Radio America) to explain whether it permits "its hosts to call for murder on the air."[18]

YouTube controversy

On March 23, 2014, Dice's YouTube channel, which had 55 million views, 265,000 subscriptions, and 3–5 million views a month, was shut down due to “severe terms of service violations”. YouTube restored the channel later that day after a wave of pressure came about from supporters of Dice.[19]
