FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of 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.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
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 in your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. Your brain controls all 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. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood 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.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. 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. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. 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 isn't made public. We don't know the names. But, here's why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. And that's not good for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
