Most studio heads have illuminati connections. I mean I don’t normally talk about it cause I don’t fully understand it, but it’s like a gradient of illuminati connections from the top down. So Turner head executives are like full on illuminati, and then as you go down show creators are like the bottom most illuminati. However, show creators still have to make sure there’s illuminati references within their cartoons so that other studios know that this is an illuminati sanctioned cartoon. It’s kind of like how the animation union or SAG works, but with illuminati.
So I usually have to include at least 2 triangle references in my episodes per season. I can include them wherever I want within the season, but I have to put them somewhere. This makes it so people at Disney/Dreamworks/Nickelodeon etc still know that Cartoon Network is on various plots or whatever. I don’t really know cause I’m not a show creator yet, but I know they need it in there for reference.
I feel like @ben-levin might be able to help on this a little more as he’s worked on more shows than I have. I’ll see if I can get anyone else I know to chime in on this, but it’s not something most people wanna talk about, as I’m sure you can tell by how no one talks about it.
Anyway, hope that helps!
This actually brings up a funny story. So, for the first batch of Steven Universe episodes we didn’t include any secret Illuminati triangles. We were just really excited about exploring Steven as a character and expanding the world of the Crystal Gems. Then notes came down from above saying “the overlords are upset” and “how are we supposed to establish a New World Order if there aren’t hidden triangles in cartoons?!”
So we introduced Peridot!
We put her in a bunch of episodes and that more than made up for the deficit of Illuminati triangles from earlier episodes. The cloaked figures in the bunker below the Earth were pleased.
Before Steven Universe, I worked on a show for Cartoon Network called Level Up. That was a tricky situation because the show was live action. And if you didn’t know, live action television is controlled by the Freemasons. But it was on a channel for cartoons, so that meant we had to include both Illuminati triangles and Freemason imagery (compasses, protractors or any tool for measuring stuff).
Fortunately, it wasn’t too hard to manage. The show was about high school kids, and the characters were at school half the time, so it was pretty easy to throw a ruler into a scene.
Now, if you don’t work in the industry, you might think it sounds like a pain to have to include cryptic messages for these secret societies who control the world. But for me, it’s a fun challenge. Because sometimes restrictions can help you to find really creative solutions you never would have thought of before.
This is why, even though she is now considered a Crystal Gem on the show, we have not changed the shape of Peridot’s hair from a triangle to a star like many fans hoped we would. (If you don’t follow Steven Universe, the Crystal Gems are a group that always display a star on their outfits to show their membership.) Losing the triangle in Peridot’s hair would set the plans to install a One World Government back years.
“But Matt,” you might be saying, “isn’t a star just five triangles arranged around a pentagon? Wouldn’t your illuminati overlords want more triangles?”
Well, buster, that’s the kind of the freethinking that lands you in the New World Order’s secret Siberian gulags. It’s best you don’t ask questions and just enjoy the triangle… I mean, show.
Today is more or less the day that the Democratic nominee is decided.
It is in, in fact, very decisively going to be Hillary Rodham Clinton.
I can already feel the outrage that is about to pour out on this site: the conspiracy theories, the bungled attempts at “math” (which, btw, are almost always inaccurate or wrong), the ugly, sexist memes of HRC that we can all laugh at because hey, if it’s HRC, who gives a fuck?
But before you angrily typesmash into your keyboard about how the establishment is rigged and how the DNC better abide by the “will of the people” and hand the nom to Sanders on a silver platter, I’d like to ask you to take a deep breath and step back for a moment.
First, you need to accept that the fact that Sanders has come so far is a big fucking DEAL. Last year, he was an unknown. This year, he proved to be an excellent challenge to the Democratic establishment, and he’s already inspired dozens of copycats around the country to challenge establishment corruption. It’s a GREAT thing.
But let’s not pretend that he was/is a perfect candidate. I’d actually argue that him and HRC are probably no more and no less “corrupt” or “twisted” than the other. This was especially true in the last few weeks of the campaign, where he got especially ugly and weird, whether it was racking up no less than 639 pages of FEC violations (the irony) to not denouncing the violence and personal death threats sent to super delegates (how hard is it to JUST say “that’s not OK!”? i mean really) to falsely accusing HRC of FEC violations (spoiler: she has none). Honestly, if Tumblr had bothered to vet Sanders even a quarter as much as they did HRC, he would not be this site’s favorite grandpa.
But that’s all counterproductive now. So as tempting as it is, I’m gonna let it go.
Now I’m gonna say something controversial:
HILLARY CLINTON? SHE’S NOT A TERRIBLE PERSON.
There. I said it. What a shocker.
People go on and on about how Sanders got the millennial vote (and handily, at that), but what they always leave out is that HRC got literally EVERY OTHER demographic. Why?
No really, why?
Simple: she LISTENS to them. And then she translates what she’s heard into policy.
Her job isn’t to preach at the bully pulpit. She listens. There’s a reason why she doesn’t hold rallies of thousands, but has garnered the vote of top people at practically every demographic or movement , whether it was the mothers of the movement (incl travyon martin and sandra bland’s mother), the fuckING human rights campaign, planned parenthood, literally every minority vote EVER, and others.
And she turned those inputs into real policy. No for real. Go read her policy statements. They are the most well-researched, detailed, boring things ever. They are GREAT. Her inner policy nerd probs came out because her plans are the most well researched of any candidate possibly ever, and will also put you right to sleep because of how disgustingly long and well written they are.
Now ppl are gonna say “oh she panders” or whatever but yA KNOW WHAT?!?
She also fucking follows through. For real.
Let’s take a famous example: HRC was against gay marriage until like 2013!1!1
(so was Obama, but i mean whatever right? he’s a guy so we cut him slack)
Also, she is the ONLY presidential candidate to have walked in a lgbt pride parade, EVER. (this pic is circa like 2002)
How’s that #throwbackthursday for ya?
My point is: she’s not right on the issues 100% of the time (wow she’s human?!? no wAY) BUT she will fight for the issues and get shit done.
So my plea is this:
Look for the good in HRC.
She’s a thoughtful person and a listener – those who know her have said that the former is in fact her best trait. Think she’s too center or right on your fave issues? FUCKINGTALK ABOUT IT.Let her campaign know.
I’m not asking anyone to tattoo HRC on their chest or start phonebanking for her tomorrow or anything like that. (In fact, don’t, that’s weird as shit)
Vote for Bernie in whatever primaries are left and do not feel the need to suddenly become a living breathing campaigner .
This has been a tough, tough election and I get that it will be very hard to get over the negative image you have of HRC, but I trust that people are smart enough to get it done. So do it, I beg of you.
And finally, like every pretentious ass post on this website ends…
REBLOG. SPREAD THIS SHIT LIKE WILDFIRE.
thx
There’s also the story Andrea Mitchell told tonight on MSNBC – about Hillary during her tenure as First Lady, traveling to China to give a speech about women’s rights, despite the resistance from the State Department. She hid the speech from them during the trip overseas, refusing to allow it to be vetted. There are dozens upon dozens of stories like that, before, during and after when she was last in the White House.
A lot of people either don’t remember or weren’t alive to know just how galvanizing, how much of a force Hillary was when Bill Clinton took office, and how unprecedented it was (outside of a few powerful examples, such as Eleanor Roosevelt) for a First Lady to be quite so strident and purposeful in matters of state – how much of a shock to the system it was to Washington. Hillary has always been controversial and a firebrand in her own way; she has always been despised by the GOP, which has thrown everything they have at her for almost 25 years but never taken her down. She has been tested, burnt, bowed but never broken. She’s been fighting for the issues she believes in since before she was Hillary Clinton. And she never stops working.
Shown above are a trio of microscale rockets, each about 10 microns in length. These tiny rockets are roughly cylindrical in shape, with a narrower diameter at the front than the back. Like their space-faring brethren, these microrockets are chemically propelled. They draw in fuel from their surroundings, which reacts with the catalysts coating the interior of the microrocket to produce gases. Those gases bubble out the back end of the microrocket, creating thrust capable of propelling the rockets more than 1000 body lengths/second. Researchers have already demonstrated that these tiny rockets can haul cargo along with them. Scientists hope one day to use these self-propelled microrockets to help deliver drugs or isolate cancer cells. (Image credit: J. Li et al., source)
