Anderson Goes Underground

THE X-FILES star Gillian Anderson prefers to commute on London's Underground - because she never gets noticed.


The actress - who resides in the British capital - snubs chauffeur driven cars and opts instead for public transport as she rarely attracts any unwanted attention.


She says, "To be honest it was when I was afraid that people would recognise me that I was recognised much more. When I first arrived in London I was much more afraid of that, so I stayed in.


"But after a while I began to feel claustrophobic and thought, 'We have to get out'. So I went out very confidently, wore a hat, sat with my back to people, and the funny thing is that people would look at me and think 'Is that...? Impossible. She wouldn't ride the Tube.'"

We say give G.A a ‘Jason Bourne’ type script and expense account …then we’ll see G.A beyond her true light –though she may wish another genre- in a most honest female/woman perspective ...and make Jason look like her nephew. Best, Bro-V

Neo says:Did you know that more than 1/3 of all U.S. female children are being sexually molested (incest>the U.S. quit secret) at this moment according to our own Government’s (hidden) national statistic? So many are hopelessly dependent upon the system that they will fight to protect it. If you are not one of us, you are one of them. Yet, today there is no political platform addressing this issue>accepted American social culture. Take our advice, however. If you see an agent, run, run your ass off. Unfortunately, no one can be told what today’s society reality is. You have to see it for yourself>hence Anderson. Once you have taken the red pill, there is no turning back>Gillian Anderson. Buckle up and set back because Kansa is going bye-bye. Best, Neo>P.S.>How does one know the difference between the real and the reality? >Try not to think in terms of right and wrong. What is real? How do you define real? Anderson cannot go back, but if she could do you think that she would?

brovi says: “Gillian Anderson Goes Underground.” Nothing is as it seems. Anderson’s secret agent-like lifestyle is imperative for mere survival>so it is speculated by insiders. It is more than a weird reality when an actor who starred in a famous fantasy T.V. program, that focused upon a life threatening conspiracy plot, soon becomes a victim of this in real life. Given that “writing what you know about is the key to success as a writer,” it’s not surprising that Gillian Anderson became a victim of this type of corruption via the biz. Clearly someone extended their intimate knowledge of corrupt plot lines beyond the fiction of the screen and into the very real life of Anderson. Once upon a time Anderson was, for the most part, completely alone (other than the corrupt perpetrators) in her knowledge of her seemingly implausible situation. At least now Anderson knows that she is not alone in understanding the truth of her circumstances involving the U.S. Government and old Hollywood. Today, hundreds, perhaps thousands of honest people know the real and unconceivable truth regarding Anderson’s conundrum. In fact, it is such a serious situation that those in the know continue to be surprised not to read in the papers that Anderson and/or family have met with some unfortunate accident (perpetrated by old Hollywood.) Moreover, the numbers of those who are catching wind of the truth surrounding Anderson’s plight seems to be growing rapidly. Consequently, the more who become familiar with how Anderson became a victim of the U.S. Government’s Nazi-like propaganda voice (the machine that is old Hollywood), the more safe and free Anderson’s existence becomes. Of course, we all know the creepy invaded>rape feeling we get when people shamefully stare into our windshield at crosswalks and at streetlights. The truth of, “didn’t your mother teach you not to stare” should slap the face of those guilty of invading>raping other peoples right to privacy and disturbing anyone’s legal right to live their life in peace. Though famous artists have some responsibility in living life somewhat in a fishbowl being that they are an icon for hope to the human race>much like royalty, there are boundaries. What’s more, Gillian Anderson’s situation is much more complicated. Being noticed by others on the street is like having blood about her while swimming in shark-infested waters. There is little doubt that Anderson is aware that she is continually being stalked by two different less than righteous and powerful entities that see themselves beyond the law and most likely carry weapons. (The first entity being guilty parties in the so-called and dying arts and entertainment industry, backed by their puppet masters.) It is also most likely that there is a third powerful entity that is close, known as “Rudolph”>a more upright power in the U.S. Government that oversees the people’s arts and entertainment>media and which has recently taken over the old dying regime. The Nazi-like old dying Hollywood is an international organized corporate conglomerate that until most recently was beyond the law, stopping at nothing to satisfy it’s lust for greed and power backed by the most powerful offices in the U.S. and U.K. Just like the Mafia, if one did>does any business with this less than upright organization, they cannot quit them>ever and it’s a certain life threatening scenario should one betray or steal from them. In brief, Anderson not only quit them, she denounces them publicly. Her brave and famous 2002 resignation started an exodus within the arts and entertainment industry. This has cost old dying Hollywood billions, many legal troubles and difficulty in maintaining their status quo. Furthermore, the billions of potential revenues that this less than upright organized conglomerate lost via Anderson refusing to work for them, is well known. Gillian Anderson unwittingly has become an icon for today’s upright and hardworking underdog society>especially women who refuse to make it easy for their lives to be raped by the old corrupt corporate rulers in our quickly changing society. Respectively, Anderson has become important to Rudolph who needs famous enough icon artists to help them with their transition of “out with the old and in with the new.” The trust factor is a most important issue when coming into office when the mass population has lost all faith in the establishment>especially the arts>media iron curtain. We have no doubt that Anderson will refuse to put herself in the same situation with the new and more democratic power (Rudolph) though she needs their assistance in stopping the stalking by the two entities previously mentioned. Anderson’s incredibly wise moves -at least since 2002- show that she will more likely than not, choose a path that is the lesser of the evils. Should Anderson ever become totally free is a question that we all must ask ourselves regarding our own lives. In the inner circle of insiders here in Los Angeles, California’s dangerous arts and entertainment meltdown, we have friends in high places, we are everyone and everywhere even in the most secret corrupt board meetings and we disclose all the dirtiest corrupt secrets sparing no one who is a perpetrator of society’s arts/media. Regarding the old dying Regime, all dictators always capture the arts/media first and foremost and Anderson found herself right in the middle of it. Though important, Anderson’s values and morals having worth or not to society is a moot point because she has proven that she is against Nazi Hollywood. Thus, this makes her a friend to the guardians of society’s arts/media which have the power to rightly guide nations and even stop war, and induce peace in universal understanding. Anderson is well liked and respected by the majority for this. This should prove beneficial to her when she goes underground (rightly so and literally) in order to move about in her daily life. So, the next time you see a Gillian Anderson look-alike underground, smile knowingly, say nothing and protect her identity. She sacrificed more than most can ever know when she stood up alone against old Hollywood and has done society a huge and thankless service indeed. Let’s repay the favor in silence. Perhaps she will rise again in freedom so she can walk openly amongst us in society, where saying ‘hey what’s up Anderson’ won’t be a threat to her existence. best, brovi
