FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled 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 other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. 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, guilds, and associations represent actors, writers, producers, editors, and other creative professionals. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
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 become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer to that question may shock you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others believe that aliens took it.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost 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.
The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can one place become extinct?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. This is why it matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could result in even 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.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. It's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This must be stopped before it happens again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which 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 approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
