Francis E. Dec (January 6, 1926 – January 21, 1996) was an American lawyer and outsider writer who was best known for his typewritten diatribes that he independently mailed and published from the late 1960s onward. His works are characterized by highly accusatory and vulgar attacks on various subjects, often making use of phrases like "Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God" to slander hierarchies that he believed were engaging in electronic harassment against him.

Biography
Francis E. Dec was born in New York on January 6, 1926. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he enlisted into the United States Army with the rank of private. However, he remained within the United States for the duration of the war, albeit periodically moving between bases, at one point being assigned to Yuma Army Air Station. After the war, Dec entered into law, but was eventually disbarred by the state of New York in 1958 and proceeded to make numerous "incoherent" legal appeals, including an appeal to the Supreme Court. He was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for 60 days in 1961 and in 1965 attempted to flee his home in Hempstead, New York for Poland.

Delusions
For 25 years, Francis wrote and distributed materials warning of the "Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God", and its conspiracy to control the world through electronic mind control devices, or influencing machines. These flyers were mailed to radio and television stations across the United States
