Hollywood once again showed its hypocrisy over the weekend when it erected huge walls with armed security to keep the stars free of the crime in Los Angeles for the 2023 Oscars.

In pictures that could be seen on various photo websites, ten-foot high fences and barricades of all kinds can be seen lining Hollywood Boulevard around the Dolby Theater in an attempt to keep the celebrities-attending the 95th Academy Awards free of fans or those that possibly wished them harm.

The blockades went down one block of the famous boulevard between Highland Ave. and North Orange Dr. across the street from the El Capitan Theater, Breitbart.com reported.

Some of the images below show the giant metal fences and armed security stationed throughout the area.

In 2019, The Hollywood Reporter noted the security steps the city was taking for the annual awards show.

“We will deploy enough officers to ensure the safety of all the citizens and Oscar attendees,” a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson told the outlet at the time. “We hope for the best and are prepared for the worst.”

During former President Donald Trump’s presidency, many celebrities were very vocal in opposition of his plans to build a wall along the southern border. But given the kind of security we see brought out each year, the stars seem to be fine with walls being put up in order to ensure their safety.

In 2019, actor Javier Bardem used his time as presenter to voice such criticism.

“There are no borders or walls that can restrain ingenuity and talent,” Bardem said in Spanish before giving out the award for Best Foreign Language Film, Breitbart noted.

And celebrities hypocrisy when it comes to gun rights in America have also been well noted by such people as the Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan. His comments can be seen in a video clip here.

“How many times does someone have to lie to you before you call them a liar?” podcaster and independent journalist Tim Pool asks in a recent PragerU video.

Pool goes through several prominent cases of mainstream media outlets misrepresenting major national news stories, and suggests that said organizations do not deserve the blanket trust that some Americans still give them.

He specifically cites the Michael Brown shooting in 2014, where media portrayed Brown as a ‘gentle giant’ who was shot by a racist police after pleading for his life with the famous — and fictitious — line “hands up, don’t shoot!”.

In reality, Brown had just robbed a convenience store and had violently assaulted officer Darren Wilson, punching him and reaching for his gun. A local grand jury and a federal probe by the Justice Department under the Obama administration found that Wilson had justifiably used lethal force in self defense.

“The whole story was manufactured by the media.” Pool observed. “It wasn’t the first time. It wouldn’t be the last.”

Pool outlined other major scandals, such as the big tech suppression of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” during the 2020 election, and the mainstream media’s insistence that it was “Russian disinformation.” In a similar vein, Pool zeroes in on the “Russia Hoax” that dominated the aftermath of the 2016 election.

“The biggest whopper of them all was the Russia Hoax, the entirely made up story that Donald Trump the candidate, then Donald Trump the President of the United States, was a Russian Agent. This dark fantasy preoccupied the legacy media for 3 years.”

Pool notes that most of the reporting on this issue was sourced from opposition research funded by the Clinton campaign that was totally baseless — the New York Times and the Washington Post would both win Pulitzer Prizes for that baseless reporting.

Pool advised listeners to seek out information from across the political spectrum, and to critically evaluate the motives and credibility of their sources.

“If someone or some news source lies over and over again, you may not want to trust them.”
