FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. 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. 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 that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they help us make better choices.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges 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.
Observe why they are important.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. It matters because of this.
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. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually 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. 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 Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This must be stopped before it happens again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
Here are 5 fascinating facts about the liver
The liver is responsible to detoxify toxins and store vitamins and minerals. It helps to regulate blood pressure and keep our bodies temperature stable.
Are you familiar with the expressions, "I feel sluggish today", or "my head feels heavy"? These symptoms could indicate problems with your liver.
Itching, dark urine and yellowing skin are all common symptoms. These are not the only warning signs. If you experience any of them, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.
The liver is a vital organ. It is essential for detoxification and metabolism as well as reproduction.

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. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. The heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. 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. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
