Celebrities like Samuel L. Jackson, Alec Baldwin and Jimmy Fallon who do television commercials for credit card companies are not “cool”. They all part the the same criminal bankster organizations who hire them. Let’s be honest. If you work for a criminal organization, you ARE a criminal.

Personally, I spent many years of my pre-retirement business career in the “branding” industry. What I observed from this kind of work sickened my soul. I finally quit, and resolved that being a “starving artist” is infinitely more gratifying than being a “corporate whore”, regardless of the paycheck.
My clients were corporations who wanted to influence people to pay money to buy their product or service. Usually, any method, trick, gimmick, lie, and covert strategy that money can buy is acceptable in corporate “marketing”. However, “transparency” or “truth” are NOT acceptable. The bigger and more powerful the corporations, governments, etc., , the less “truth in advertising”, is allowed. It’s a kind of unwritten law like “never let the other team know your game plan”, (or your true intentions). Corporate marketing is an “us” against “them” of mind-control game. A “brand” is an artificially contrived “false facade” of “acceptable lies”. On Wall Street, and in corporations and governments it’s all, and only, about money and power. No rules apply.
The following video investigates the subject of transparency in advertising, a talk given by Morgan Spurlock (who revealed that “McFoods” do NOT decay in his film “SuperSize Me“, and are, therefore, NOT food.)

The job of a Death Fairy is a thankless task, but somebody must do it!
A banshee (“woman of the sídhe, woman of the fairy mounds”) is a female spirit in Irish mythology, who heralds the death of a member of one of the prominent Gaelic families. The banshee is often described in Gaelic lore as wearing red or green, usually with long, disheveled hair. She can appear in a variety of forms. Perhaps most often she is seen as an ugly, frightful hag, but she can also appear as young and beautiful if she chooses. In some tales, the figure who first appears to be a banshee or other cailleach (hag) is later revealed to be the Irish battle goddess, the Morrígan.
One popular belief was that they were the dead. This noted that many common points of belief, such as the same legends being told of ghosts and fairies, the sídhe in actuality being burial mounds, it being dangerous to eat food in both Fairyland and Hades, and both the dead and fairies living underground. Diane Purkiss observes an equating of fairies with the untimely dead who left “unfinished lives”.
Another belief is that the fairies were an intelligent species, distinct from humans and angels. In alchemy in particular they were regarded as elementals, such as gnomes and sylphs, as described by Paracelsus. This is uncommon in folklore, but accounts describing the fairies as “spirits of the air” have been found.
