In the early 90's my moms friend group was passing around this VHS where a guy who claimed to be ex military nervously explained that a lot of hollywood production was the government easing secrets it knew and legally had to disclose to the public so it would put them into hollywood movies. Things like spy stuff or aliens.
I have no idea how I'd ever find the source or original of that. Would be interesting to see if the internet knows.

- dylan604 3y agoIn those same groups that made those VHS tapes, there's a theory on the name Hollywood itself. The wand that Merlin used to cast spells was made from holly. This was a core part of their evidence that the movie industry is meant to keep the populace under the spell of their illusions, or some such logic Sadly, I have way too much familiarity with these VHS tapes and 'zines and radio programs. Once the internet took off, it was like gasoline on a fire for the spreading of this stuff.
- maerF0x0 3y agoAre they archived somewhere for viewing? I wonder because I was too young to really understand it much and it'd actually help me sort out part of my childhood.
- dylan604 3y agoI will not be a part of willfully spreading that information. If you're that interested, it's not hard to find
- maerF0x0 3y agoYeah to be clear I do not see it as "Information" as in factual accounts, but more like "information" like these kinds of movies existed, those people made such claims (perhaps without evidence). Kind of like a police report can say "So and so alleges X" . Anyways if they're not hard to find I'll have to dig some more.

- serf 3y agoI don't know your personal convictions, and I don't really care -- but I do want to say that the archival and preservation of such things is a wholly different thing than disseminating the materials for actual consumption and education; i'm glad that folks didn't take the same approach to saving the remnants of propaganda and materials from past wars otherwise we would have no solid examples by which to use in building an intellectual defense against this kind of strategy.

- qingcharles 3y agoI couldn't find any, but eBay seems to have a lot of weird VHS tapes for sale.

- dylan604 3y agoI don't know why you're trying to bring reasoning and logic into a conspiracy conversation. A bigger waste of oxygen, I'm not familiar.
