It's as if they are on automatic pilot. If we could do a scan, would there be ANY brain activity at all, or are they just plants with legs?

I don't think it's as funny as he seems to, however. But maybe that was nervous laughter.

Mark Dice's 415 page book, The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction separates and analyzes the various claims and evidence about the Illuminati, their history, beliefs, members, organizations, and activities. This is a supplement for Mark's previous book, The Resistance Manifesto, which focuses more on the New World Order, the 9/11 attacks, Big Brother, and how the political agendas of the elite are fulfilling Bible prophecy.

The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction focuses more on the Illuminati secret society and historical evidence pointing to its existence and actions. The trail of information discussing the Illuminati is traced back to the original sources, as each one is analyzed with regards to its authorship and the information found in each source. This book is also about debunking various frauds, exaggerations, and disinformation involving the organization and also highlights the rare instances that the Illuminati or subsidiary organizations are mentioned in mainstream media or incorporated into fictional films, books, and TV shows.

The deeper one goes down the rabbit hole, the more bizarre the information becomes. When one is new to this path, what appears to be a misunderstanding, an exaggeration, or a lie, often is found to be factual and thoroughly documented by reliable sources. In this book Mark Dice has taken an objective and skeptical view of the topic and has sifted through the volumes of information to get to the truth and the sources which lead to its discovery so we can leave the fiction, distortions and lies by the wayside and not be fooled or distracted by them. As the cliché goes, the truth is stranger than fiction.

"an Orwellian police state" Most folks would have a tough time describing what such a world would look like, since "Orwellian" is not in their everyday lexicon. Even going on to say Nazi style police system. Alot of the signers are so far removed from the horrors of WWII that they haven't a clue.
Should we be dumbfounded that folks would willingly and casually sign on to a petition like this? YES! But should we be THAT surprised that many do - not from what I know of the general cross-section of our populace. They know all about the i5s, and next to nothing about those who govern their lives. I'm finding some small solace in that I'm in my twilight years.

Mark Dice (real name Mark Shouldice) is a conservative Christian American conspiracy theorist, social critic, activist, and author of six books outlining his beliefs about the New World Order and the Illuminati and their evil plans to destroy Christianity and humanity, and bring about a one world socialist government ruled by the Antichrist who will make everyone wear Google Glasses.

Political prankster Mark Dice asks San Diego beach-goers if they'll sign a petition supporting "the Police State" which includes "Orwellian" and "Nazi-Style" tactics to "keep Americans safe" in this "Brave New World."


Wow. Prankster Gets People to Sign Petition for a More Orwellian, ‘Nazi-Like’ Police State

Sometimes people sign prank petitions because they don’t quite understand what the petition is about, as in the infamous dihydrogen monoxide hoax. But one prankster in San Diego was amazed to find that so many people were willing to sign a petition that was out-and-out attempting to institute an Orwellian police state in the United States.

Political prankster Mark Dice takes great pains to let people know he is asking them to sign a petition for the “Nazi-style police state” and an “Orwellian system.” It’s rather horrifying to see people signing a petition even as Dice is patiently explaining to them why he wants a system modeled after Nazi Germany.
