There are some places on earth that the average human will never have the opportunity to see or experience. Some are exclusive to the wealthy and others are only available to the poor. These are the most hidden places on the planet that most of us won't have the opportunity to visit. Learn more about these spots and where to see them.
Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station
The US has its drone operations at Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station. These missions are classified and are used to kill terrorists. They are used to monitor telephone calls, emails, Google searches, and email communications. The base has been operational since 1954 and previous British governments have reportedly cooperated. MPs have been repeatedly denied access, however.
Menwith Hill has been involved in a number of "capture-kill" operations. Snowden's documents don't reveal the details of these fatal incidents, but it is clear the base was used to kill hundreds of civilians over the past decade. Its mission also played a major role in the drone strikes in Yemen.
North Sentinel Island
Since 1997, North Sentinel is off limits to outsiders. The Indian government has banned all contact with the island because the isolated community is vulnerable to diseases from other parts. And the island's people are not particularly welcoming of visitors. They have lived in solitude for more than 50,000 year. The Sentinelese actually want their island to remain isolated.
Although the estimated population is somewhere between eighty-150 and 150, it could actually be much higher. They speak a dialect of their own and live in huts with slanted roofs. They also build their own narrow outrigger canoes and carry bows and arrows. They hunt for food and harvest fish and crabs.
Baikal
Lake Baikal in Siberia holds the record for the deepest ocean. It's also the oldest. It is home to over 1,700 species. The Lake is home to almost 33% these species. A program of ambitious research has brought together scientists from all corners of the globe and their Soviet counterparts.
The water in Lake Baikal is remarkably clean, although it is affected by pollution. These contaminants are ingested by Epischura, the tiny creatures living near the shore. They then travel up the food chain. These contaminants then build up in the bodies larger fish. Lake Baikal has three endemic species: omul, nerpa and golumyanka.
Mount Weather complex
The Mount Weather complex has been Washington's most secretive location for many decades. The complex includes a hospital, crematorium, radio and television studios, as well as an Emergency Broadcasting System. The facility can take up to 2000 people when it is needed. The entire facility is unlikely to be used by anyone. In the wake of an extensive electric power outage in Washington, D.C., this facility was temporarily activated on April 7, 2015.
Mount Weather is one of the most hidden locations in the entire world. Hidden underground, the location can only be accessed with a specific code. Once the code is decoded it's possible to access it. Once inside, the complex is protected by a shield and a computerized surveillance system. The complex has several secret passages and underground rooms that contain different systems. Two underground structures are located in the middle area of the complex. These buildings are home to the main amenities of the complex.
Haiku Stairs
Haiku Stairs requires a very steep climb. It is not recommended that you attempt it if you aren't fit enough. Haiku Stairs can be found in the Pacific Ocean. A radio station broadcasts from the area to Navy ships across the Pacific Ocean. You should be fit enough to climb these stairs and have plenty of water.
The danger of trespassing has made the stairs off-limits to the public since 1987. It is illegal to climb these stairs at night and could result in a $1000 penalty. There are guards who patrol the area and police helicopters are often spotted hovering above the stairs.
FAQ
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the times.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
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. This is why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They could go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to 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. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
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 why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. And that's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of 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. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
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.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
Observe why they are important.
How does the brain control the functions of your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.

American history's secret societies and clubs
The secret societies and clubs in American History are fascinating for many reasons. The mystery surrounding them is one reason. Another reason is because of their effect on our society.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America’s history in order to promote ideas that might otherwise be considered taboo. Anti-Semitism is one example of such ideas. These groups also contributed to the spread of political ideologies, such as communism & socialism.
The most famous organization in American history is the Ku Klux Klan. This group was founded in 1865 following the Civil War. Its purpose was protect white men against African Americans.
The Knights Templar and Freemasons were also created during this time. These organizations shared the same beliefs and goals.
Another interesting aspect of secret societies is that they often had memberships restricted to males only. 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. For example, the Order of Skull & Bones was founded in 1832. Their goal: to create an elite American class.
