FAQ
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
Observe why they are important.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.

It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe the earth swallowed them 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.

Then, where is it? Well, it's in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I set out to find out.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What causes a community to disappear? How can a town disappear from existence?

Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others believe it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would mean that the land was turned away by the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They are growing in size every year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
Did you know that there are approximately 1.6 billion metric tons of trash produced every day in the world?
According to the United Nations, the average person produces over 2.5 pounds of daily waste.That adds up to over 25 billion pounds of garbage per year!
Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? The majority of this rubbish is sent out of the country. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. Mike Sexton is his full name. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. He then gives us a report on what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton began following truckers almost 20 year ago.
He said, "I fell in love with it."
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton said that the man was searching for a place to store his stuff. "He drove along the road and saw this structure. He pulled over and went in. "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 old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was just a total mess. It had been cleaned up before he arrived. There wasn't any trash anywhere."
What is the explanation? 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. Sexton explained that people would bring home their household items, and then take them to the building. After they were done, they would dispose of the empty containers.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times 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. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.
Trash, however, isn't the only problem facing our planet.As you may have noticed, things are getting worse.According to experts, pollution levels have risen dramatically in recent years.More than half of all water bodies on Earth are polluted.Pollution from industrial chemicals has increased by more than 30 percent since 1980.Even the air we breathe is becoming increasingly toxic.A study by the World Health Organization found that the average person inhales around 100 million particles daily.
Most of these particles are made up of tiny pieces of plastic.Some of these plastics end up in landfills or incinerators. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. Experts warn that "if we keep going the way we are, we're not going make it," although scientists agree that the world is heading toward disaster. Most people, however, don't seem to be concerned.
