FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
And see why they're so important.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. The names are not known to us. Here's why this matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. It's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
The answer to that question may shock you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.

American history's secret societies and clubs
For many reasons, secret societies and clubs of American History are fascinating. Another reason is the mystery that surrounds them. Their impact on our society is another reason.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America’s history to spread ideas that would otherwise be taboo. These ideas include antisemitism or racism. These groups helped spread political ideologies like communism or socialism.
The Ku Klux Klan is America's most well-known organization. This group was created in 1865 after the Civil War. It was created to protect white men against African Americans.
The Knights Templar and Freemasons were also created during this time. These groups had the same goals and beliefs.
Another interesting aspect of secret societies is that they often had memberships restricted to males only. These groups also had women members. These women included Emma Goldman. Margaret Sanger. And Susan B Anthony.
The ideals shared by the secret societies mentioned earlier were not shared by all. The Order of Skull & Bones for instance was founded in 1832. Their goal, however, was to create an elite section within the United States.
