This part of that thread was just...


Quote:
I'm not going to regurgitate the entire wikipedia page on MK Ultra, as all you need to know is that it was a CIA funded operation which dealt with experimenting on humans. Mind control and hypnosis were on their agenda. Now official reports state that the testing stopped in the late 60s, but most believe it continues on even today. If you decide to do some research on your end, Project ARTICHOKE was the original name for MK ULTRA, and Project Monarch is the subsection of the CIA program that dealt with mind control.

Yeah, this is some Manchurian Candidate shiet.

Monarch programming (from Project Monarch) is a technique that basically induces MPD in a child (multiple personality disorder). It gives the master (also called handler) total control over the child. From what I've read, this kind of research started as a means to create sleeper soldiers (you've seen the movie Salt? same principle). By the way, it has almost become general knowledge that Ted Kaczynski (unabomber) was a victim of MK Ultra.

Fast forward a few years. Turns out that high profilers in Hollywood are using the same techniques to create child stars who are obedient, sexually submissive, and crave the spotlight. Oh, if you're wondering how MK Ultra (the CIA) are involved with Hollywood, that's a whole other subject involving Disney and their propaganda films back in the WW2 days, but right now, we're focusing on Britney Spears.

Yeah guys, I know, Britney is out of the spotlight, but if anybody is the perfect example of being a puppet it's her. Anyways, I could bore you with all her rebellion stories (but you know them already) or I could tell you about her controlling father who doesn't let her make a phone call without his say so, but you'd just call bs on my research. Here's the most detrimental piece of evidence, it's an interview with Diane Sawyer.

According to my sources, this video demonstrates her MPD (multiple personality disorder) and how she's “malfunctioning”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddV1o...layer_embedded
I was reading that earlier then was just on a news site and saw this story that appeared today

Quote:
Britney’s fiancé Jason applies to legally control her, which sounds kind of worrying

He’ll soon be her husband and ruler in more ways than one after Jason Trawick looks set to be Britter’s co-conservator



Britney Spears’ life has been controlled by her dad, Jamie Spears, since she had that horrid breakdown in 2008, which involved shaving her head in public, beating up a taxi with an umbrella and being hospitalised after taking her own sons hostage.

But now it looks like her fiancé Jason Trawick, who asked Britters to marry him last December, is going to share responsibility for her well being too.

According to People.com, Jamie has asked a court to add Jason as co-conservator over his daughter.

This means he will be able make decisions over her food, clothing and medical care if need be – but not over her finances.

We feel uncomfortable and relieved all at the same time.

Britney’s dad has been in control of her well being and gazillion pound fortune since her meltdown and the conservatorship will only be lifted when a judge, on the advice of her doctors, deems her psychologically well enough to take care of her own affairs.

We just hope she’s made the right choice with the Jason affair, otherwise this could all get horribly messy again.
Britney looks like the life has gone from her eyes..

If something like this is true, the prostitution ring and that fat fuck railing all of those child stars, how does something like this stay covered up for so long? Is Hollywood really that sick and powerful to pay off the feds like that or at least someone important enough connected to those types of authorities? This all is just really mindblowing to me.

Hello my old friends (and our new guests as well), I hope each of you are well today.

I first started reading CDAN after an actress friend showed it to me. In fact, you’d be surprised how many actors, filmmakers, and musicians read this blog. Some even comment. I assure you that you’re far cooler than any of them (lol).

From the beginning, this thing has been about sharing some tidbits from behind the scenes, enjoying the community, and maybe trying to even help a few people along the way. All courtesy of my friend Enty. It’s been fun, scary, heartwarming, and hilarious all at once. I (and my associates) have enjoyed it totally, and it’s the most fun I’ve had with my clothes on.

Somehow, this “thing” has gotten a little out of hand. Imagine you and your pals sitting around gossiping and talking. Suddenly you realize a hidden camera is on you, and its being broadcast on the net, and every TV station alive. It might freak you out. That’s how it’s felt the past few weeks. Plus one innocent guy getting buried with crap and he’s a good guy too. But on with the show right?

Now I want to share with you a story and info that goes back a long, long way into Hollywood history. It concerns one of the biggest male stars ever, and one of the most beloved female stars to ever live.

She began her career as a child actress, and enchanted the world. Her mom was the ultimate stage mom, and she had an odd upbringing by normal standards. But she was not that bad compared to many child/teen stars we know about today.

As her teen years came into being, she began to rebel against her mom and the morals of the 1950s. In those days a studio owned you totally and your life was created by them. She went on dates arranged by the studios, and the PR people. In effect, she dated a LOT of gay guys too. In fact, she became close friends with many of the town’s biggest gay stars (closeted or not).

She made the transition from child star into teen actress, and did her duty professionally. But inside, she wanted to be wild and dangerous. And when the new breed of method actors came onto the scene - Brando, James Dean, etc. - she loved it and wanted to be part of that scene.

So badly in fact, that when this director began casting for his teen rebel film, she would do ANYTHING to get the part and prove she was not just a pop idol little kid anymore. And yes, she did do ANYTHING she could. She dressed like a femme fatale, drank, swore, and partied hard. She would have sexual encounters with the director at his bungalow, even though he was twice her age and was married. She didn’t care.

She did get the role, and was carved into legendary status instantly as part of this iconic film and its lore. But sadly, her rebelliousness and partying ways opened a door that was hard to close. As a result, a lot of other male stars and directors and producers assumed she’d do ANYTHING to get other roles too. They were wrong.

One day she was invited to meet with this movie star about an upcoming major role. This man was a legend already, and was very powerful. The studios bowed to him, and he had control over films, budgets, and casting. His PR image was that of a stud, and a righteous family man. His real life was dark, seedy, and without a moral compass.

So as expected, the actress - still a teenager - wanted to meet the powerful star to discuss the role. Thinking the herself was powerful and savvy, she accepted the invite. In his hotel room. She never saw it coming.

3:56 PM
Himmmm said...
PART TWO:


Without even discussing the film, this actor - drunk already - began making a pass at her. She politely declined, and excused herself. He wouldn’t have it. He literally threw her down, slapped the hell out of her, and ripped her clothes off. He shouted obscenities at her, continually punched and held her arms so tight he left scars and bruises.

He raped her repeatedly, spitting on her, and did permanent damage to her body. She was bleeding everywhere, with a battered face. She passed out. When she came to, the actor was still in the room gloating, and told her to come see him tomorrow night and he might give her the role. He laughed at her as she fell down, her legs so wobbly and weak. She gathered her torn clothes, and tried to walk out of the hotel and to her car - blood and semen running down her legs and bruises already forming on her face.

She could barely make it back home in her car. She wanted to kill herself, so ashamed of what happened. The damage to her psyche was permanent, and haunted her forever. But her physical pain was intolerable. She got home and her mother was aghast. Her parents blamed her. Her mom said she must have made the actor mad and offended him. They called a doctor, who took her to the hospital secretly to have her treated. When back at home, she stayed in bed and hidden for weeks.

The studio knew, and did nothing. After all, the star actor was a money machine. Even the actresses powerful agents and friends were helpless to punish him, or else they’d be cast out as well. In the 1950s, much like today, you didn’t rock the boat. The actress eventually recovered physically, and for keeping quiet the studio and agents rewarded her with a bountiful career. She grew into an amazing woman with a legendary career. But she never forgot, or forgave, and never got over what happened.

She never named the star actor publicly, but her friends and family knew the truth. Even after marriage and kids, if she saw this actor anywhere - she would almost convulse and cry. And worst of all, Hollywood and the world continued to honor him, pay him, and treat him like a king.

Today, he’s still alive and barely holding on. But those who know the truth are still hoping and praying he will rot in hell for eternity. That all his good deeds and donations will never mask the truth. That he WILL face justice for the lives he destroyed.

So when the time comes, and the now 95 year old Kirk Douglas, the superstar actor, finally dies, there will be tributes and honors about him. Just remember that he is a monster who never repented, apologized, nor showed any sorrow for destroying the lives of others. Especially the life of that young beloved actress named Natalie Wood.

Think about this when you hear about him being honored by the Academy for his “moral force” in the movie community. Think about his own son who died from a drug overdose, and his own big star son who is a walking monster himself. Think of his grandson who dealt drugs and got others hooked on it too. Think about this every time you see a film starring anyone in that family.

I worked with Natalie’s daughter on a film in the late 90s. Like her mother, Natasha is an amazing woman and amazing actress who is a great person in every way.

I know a lot of you have speculated that I’m some nobody nut-case pretending to be someone else. Pretending to be a movie star when in fact I’m not. I think that’s kind of hilarious. But if you want to call Natasha and ask her the name of the male actor she co-starred with in a movie with Heather Graham, then go for it. Call her at home if you want to but be polite. Her number is: ac 310 Four Five Six Five Nine Zero Six. And remember, she’s NOT in on this so don’t blame or interrogate her.

There's no sense revealing yourself and "exposing" this unless you have some actual proof, otherwise you fuck your career for nothing. I'm talking documents, pictures...something physical other than saying "I may or may not be RDJ *wink wink* so believe this story I'm telling!"

It sounds like she was an extra in those movies, so it's not like she was making much. You can get rich quick through porn/escorting/stripping. And if you're already at the point where you're sleeping with random execs to get where you want, then it's really not a big jump. Especially when doing that other stuff will having you pulling in well over 10k a week.

Either way, I was entertained and sickened by a lot of the stuff posted.

Yeah, but you'd think that when she sleeps with a producer she would have gotten better roles than just as an extra. I mean that either means that she never slept with someone from the studio (which seems unlikely since she had no problem joining the porn business), or the producers have so much girls available that normal sex will get you just a role as an extra.


....or option number 3, that all these stories are exaggerated.

I have no doubt in my mind that these kids stars have been molested or pimped out or did some kind of sexual acts to get where they are. Every one of those Disney kids shows has sexual undertones. It's gross. I don't doubt that Britney and Miley and who knows else has been treated this way too. That's why they all self destruct. Look at the Backstreet Boys and the Lou Pearlman stories from other bands he created. Hollywood is all drugs, sex and money. No matter what age you are. It's probably been that way from the start.

It's not as odd as pretending that a coffee table book functions as a goddamn menu for celebrity prostitutes, and even less odd that RDJ is a secret whistle blower who leaks his info to a the comments section of an obscure blog rather than a reputable news source, or wikileaks or some shit. The internet is huge, why put the info here? Especially if it involves children's lives being ruined?
