The question of secret underground bases has long been a source of controversy. Some people have actually seen flying saucers depart from these bases. Some believe they were created by the Space Force. Others suspects are the Department of Defense and British Army. What does it look like underground?
Department of Defense
In order to safeguard the United States against alien invasion, the U.S. Department of Defense had built secret underground bases decades ago. The Military Office of the White House had established a multi-million-dollar secret fund to help build more than 75 facilities. This money was funneled through a secret organization called MJ-12, which paid contractors to build top-secret military bases and alien bases underground. Ultimately, the president's fund paid contractors to construct these bases and shelters.
British Army
Two reasons made it possible for British soldiers to hide in underground bases during WWII were: The first reason was to avoid Nazi radar and the other was to hide from the enemy. These secret bases were constructed by units or Royal Engineers. They had hidden entrances that contained bunks, Elsan Toilets and enough supplies to last for a week. As the Germans advanced, the underground secret bases provided cover for the men.
Libya
The BBC has gained access to a complex beneath the former Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli. It includes communication equipment, food, water and weapons. It is basically the ultimate power base that provides everything you need to run a country.
FAQ
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.
Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? It goes to the United States, where most of it is exported. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. Mike Sexton is his full name. He runs Waste Watchers, a company that monitors the movements of trucks carrying trash all across North America. He then gives us a report on what happens next.
Sexton says he finds his job very satisfying. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton started following truck drivers nearly 20 years ago.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
His favorite story involved a driver who pulled off at an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He drove down the street and saw this building. He backed up and entered the building. "There were two large roll-off containers full of stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "Then he took out everything and began to fill up the truck. There were many old tires, furniture, rags and mattresses. "It was just a total mess. But it had been cleaned before he arrived. There wasn't any trash."
This is the reason why it happened. Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. The truck eventually stops running and the owner decides that it is time to get rid of the vehicle.
Trash is not the only problem our planet faces.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Some are washed into rivers and oceans. Others end up with fish in their stomachs.
Experts say if nothing changes, we could soon face a global food shortage. "If we keep going like we're going, we're not going to make it," one expert warned.But even though scientists agree that the world is headed toward disaster, most people don't seem worried.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. The names are not known to us. But, here's why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could mean 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. This is bad news for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
We must stop this from happening again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer to that question may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I set out to find out.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a town to disappear? What makes a place disappear?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You'll see why they are so important.
