There are some places on earth that the average human will never have the opportunity to see or experience. Some are only accessible to the world's wealthy while others are reserved for the poor. These are the most mysterious places on Earth, and most of us will never have an opportunity to visit them. Continue reading to learn more about these hidden places and where to visit them.
Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station
Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station houses US drone operations. These missions are secretive and used to target terrorists all over the globe. They are also used for monitoring phone calls, emails, Google search queries, and other communications. Since 1954, the base has been operational and successive British governments have apparently cooperated with its operation. MPs have been repeatedly denied access to this base.
Menwith Hill is a participant in numerous "capture-kill” operation. Although Snowden's documents did not reveal details of the fatal incidents, it is clear that the base has been used in the killing of hundreds of civilians in the last decade. It also played an important role in drone strikes against Yemen.
North Sentinel Island
Since 1997, North Sentinel is off limits to outsiders. The Indian government barred contact with the isolated island in 1997 because it is at risk from diseases brought from other places. The island's inhabitants aren't particularly open to visitors. They have been living alone for more then 50,000 years. The Sentinelese actually want their island to remain isolated.
Its population is estimated to be between eighty and 150 people, but the actual number could be significantly higher. They speak their own language and live in huts that have slanted roofs. They also build their own narrow outrigger canoes and carry bows and arrows. They hunt for food as well as harvest crabs and fish.
Baikal
Lake Baikal in Siberia has the deepest water level in the world. It is also one of the oldest. It is home to over 1,700 species. Nearly 33% of these species are only found in the Lake. A program of ambitious research has brought together scientists from all corners of the globe and their Soviet counterparts.
Although Lake Baikal's water is clean, some pollutants can cause it to become contaminated. These contaminants are carried up the food chain by tiny creatures called Epischura (small fish that live near the shore). They accumulate in the larger fish's bodies. Lake Baikal has three endemic species: omul, nerpa and golumyanka.
Mount Weather complex
The Mount Weather complex in Washington DC has been a secret location for decades. There are many facilities at the complex, including an emergency medical center, a crematorium and a radio and TV studio. In theory, the facility can accommodate up to 2000 people in an emergency. However, it is unlikely that anyone will ever use the entire complex. The facility was temporarily restored after a major electrical power outage occurred in Washington, D.C., April 7, 2015.
Mount Weather complex is one the most secretive locations in the globe. The secret location is underground and requires a special code to access. It is possible to gain access once a code has been decoded. Once inside the complex, a shield protects it and provides a surveillance system. There are several secret passages leading to the complex and a number of underground rooms, which contain various systems. Two underground buildings are located in the middle of the complex. These buildings house the main facilities of the complex.
Haiku Stairs
Haiku Stairs is not recommended for faint-hearted. Haiku Stairs is located in the Pacific Ocean. The area is also home to a radio station that broadcasts to Navy ships all over the Pacific Ocean. If you want to climb these stairs, you should be physically fit and take along plenty of water.
Since 1987, the public is prohibited from using the stairs due to dangers of trespassing. This makes it illegal to climb the stairs during daylight hours. A $1000 fine can be imposed for violating this law. Guards patrol the area, and police helicopters can often be seen hovering over the stairs.
FAQ
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full 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.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, 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. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
And see why they're so important.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But here's why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They would then go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This must be stopped before it happens again. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
