Does anyone know any surprising, behind the scenes facts about some industry you’re familiar with?
Discussion
Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is a CIA front company
🤔 never heard of it
You’ve heard of the people they rep and the movies they’ve packaged
They shape all of the movies and TV you watch and you don’t know it’s the literal CIA
Can you discuss how you’ve come to know this for sure? Or just something you believe?
A combination of personal experience, close personal contacts and their personal experience, and lots of additional research
Mostly the research just me making sense of a LOT of things in light of the knowledge I was privy to
I’m happy to answer questions I just don’t want to immediately lay it all out and get myself in trouble
To be clear I’m never 100% certain of anything but this one I’m 95-99% confident
I’m 100% they have a relationship with CIA, that’s indisputable (they repped everyone on Zero Dark Thirty, so it’s fully acknowledged) but that doesn’t begin to scratch how deep the rabbit hole goes
Also the publicly available info on Hollywood’s infiltration by the CIA is HILARIOUS and extremely revealing if you can read between the lines at all
Not surprised, but I would like to see a source.
Personal experiences that would dox me unfortunately
But just take the idea and hold onto it, see if it doesn’t explain everything
Will Ferrell and Chris Pratt work for the CIA?
No, the CIA manages their careers and projects from behind the scenes, like intelligence agents do with assets all over the world in every industry
And don’t get me started on how spooked up SNL is lol
I've always been spooked about SNL. They promote too many social narratives.
Pete Davidson’a origin story reinforces the 9/11 psyop
They’re based in Rockefeller plaza
They’re tasked with shaping public opinion on everything
What is Pete Davidson's origin story?
That his dad was a firefighter who died on 9/11. They even made it into the Hollywood Movie™️
All false?
It’s hard to believe if you’ve looked at all the evidence I gave about the hoax of 9/11

Payroll companies make their real money from keeping your taxes in their accounts and gaining interest. Your payroll taxes are supposed to be deposited semimonthly or monthly depending on what the IRS dictates. You process for this Friday, takes don't need to be sent until next Wednesday, they make their change on your money they already debited two days in advance.
The British DJ scene ran on exclusive dub plates.
Recreational cannabis cultivation is sadly a cesspool of bad practices - remediation of product & falsified potency / pesticide testing are common. It’s terrible.

There are league of legends pros who've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars gambling on matches

most Bitcoiners don’t self custody any Bitcoin. most humans will never own a Bitcoin.
This is true. Now, read the rest of these comments. Sad to hear, but I'm not very shocked. 😥🤷♂️
Isn't there a difference between bitcoiners and people who happen to own Bitcoin? Because it is easy to conflate the two.
I don’t think so. but you may argue not owning bitcoin disqualifies you from being a bitcoiner. then you can qualify ownership to mean self custodial. but none of that really matters
Consider this, Bitcoin is a currency just like any fiat currency people own. Most people don't identify with their fiat currencies but this is different when talking about Bitcoiners. It is an identity and not just some sort investment. There is some ethoes to the identity like self custody, don't trust verify etc. I might be reaching bit that's how I see it.
I would agree with the initial statement if what you said was most people who own Bitcoin don't self custody. That's true. It possible they don't understand what they hold yet. One becomes a Bitcoiners either through understanding or necessity (being censored one way or another).
Your biometric data is accessible to gov contractors that create and maintain the IT systems involved. My coworkers had access to fingers of 200+ million citizens of several countries.
i can imagine. Fingerprints esp thumb print are still commonly and widely used, and data leakage these days is an everyday story.
Most commercial aircraft structures are made out of aluminum. When aluminum is put under cyclic load it will eventually fatigue and develop cracks that can lead to catastrophic failures. Regular inspections are supposed to be conducted on commercial aluminum aircraft to ensure they are flight worthy, but there are regularly whistleblowers who say some airlines pressure them to do minimal maintenance on the aircraft so they can get it back in the air making money. Whenever a commercial plane goes down unexpectedly, pilot error is usually what’s blamed (probably for liability reasons) but I wonder what percentage are actually due to inadequate inspection/maintenance.
Leaches on a body trying to suck on your every paychecks. Every company conspiring to have a piece of it.
Lol. Bruh, he asked for "surprising" facts!
In information security, we almost always find hardcore bugs. The internet is a patchwork of bugfixes and new security holes.
Applies to banks as well, although they usually audit before release, so released version is usually ok.
"Military grade encryption" usually means the company does not know what they are talking about and it's a huge red flag.
You can have the strongest encryption in the world but if implemented incorrectly it’s as good as having none. That’s the part most Orgs go wrong with.
Not really. Sometimes it's the case, but usually the problems have nothing to do with encryption or its implementation, but with the security design and implementation of parts that have nothing to do with encryption.
Encryption is usually an open source library that they just use.
99.9% of risk assessment or risk management is as good as astrology.
Managing risk with wrong math, guesstimates has a single goal - produce enough paperwork to have plausible deniability.
