FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. This is why it 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. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They could go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to 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. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just moved to a new town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland, actually!
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 has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided that I would investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How does one place go extinct?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. 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 looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
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 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? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. It then gets dumped in foreign countries, polluting their ecosystems. However, now we know where all that trash goes. Mike Sexton is his real 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 says he finds his job very satisfying. CNN asked Sexton if he thought it was a lot of fun. "We see big rigs coming 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.
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 down the street and saw this building. So he backed up and went inside. "There was a pair of large, full-sized roll-off boxes. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was a complete mess. But it was cleaned out before he came. There wasn't any trash."
This begs the question: Why? It's because this area used to be a recycle center. People would drive from all over the country 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.
You might see this happen hundreds of times a day. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.
But, this isn't the only problem that our planet is facing.
These tiny plastic particles make up the majority of the particles. Some end up in incinerators or landfills. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts say if nothing changes, we could soon face a global food shortage. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
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.
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.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to 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 are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.

How To
American history is full of secret societies and clubs
Many reasons make American History's secret societies and clubs fascinating. They are mysterious because of this. Another reason is their influence on our society.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America's history to promote ideas that would otherwise be considered taboo. Anti-Semitism is one example of such ideas. These groups also promoted political ideologies such communism, socialism, and other socialist ideas.
The most famous organization in American history is the Ku Klux Klan. This group was formed in 1865 after the Civil War ended. Its purpose was to protect white men from African Americans.
Other organizations were also formed during this period, including the Knights Templars, Freemasons and Odd Fellows. These organizations shared the same beliefs and goals.
Another fascinating aspect of secret societies was that their memberships were often limited to males. Some women were members of these secret societies. 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 is an example of a secret society that was established in 1832. Their goal was the creation of an elite class in the United States.
