FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of 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. 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 also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they help us make better choices.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
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 become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
You can see why they are so vital.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
However, in America it is called 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.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Others believe that aliens took it.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
The question is, where did this place go? It's actually in Switzerland!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I set out to find out.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
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 from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But here's 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. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure 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.
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. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being 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. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
