FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on 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 and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose 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.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. 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. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
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 from the injured area to drain.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What is your most secretive community?
The answer may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Others believe that aliens took it.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? Well, it's in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How does one place go extinct?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines both the history and current status.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. It matters because of this.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will 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 could go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
We must stop this from happening again. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.

How To
American history secret societies and clubs
Many reasons make American History's secret societies and clubs fascinating. Their mystery is just one reason. Their effect on society is another reason.
American history has seen secret societies and clubs used to promote ideas that were otherwise taboo. Some of these ideas include racism and anti-Semitism. These groups also spread ideologies like communism and socialists.
The Ku Klux Klan is the most prominent American organization. This group was formed after the Civil War ended in 1865. It was created to protect white men against African Americans.
Other organizations created during this period included the Knights Templar, 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. These groups also had women members. These women included Emma Goldman. Margaret Sanger and Susan B Anthony.
Not only the above mentioned groups, but also other secret societies didn't share the same ideals. The Order of Skull & Bones is an example of a secret society that was established in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite group within the United States.
