Say what you like about Disney, but none can deny, the House of Mouse knows ALL of the dirty tricks. Let's talk about one today.
"GoAway Green".
Running a theme park that caters to millions of visitors per year requires a bit of crowd management. You want people to see some things, and not others. You want them to walk certain paths, follow certain plans, and essentially behave predictably. It's a bit like building an actual medieval castle to secure a region. Or hey a better example: building a castle in Dwarf Fortress! You can build your stronghold to be absolutely impregnable, but if you do that, it becomes impractical for the business of the region.
Because your Fortress, whatever that Fortress happens to be... A theme park.. a home for Dwarves.. a castle.. XTV.. has to be suited to purpose. You need the right people being channeled to the right places, and the wrong people channeled away from the right places. You can't build a perfect wall, so what do you do?
Did you know, that the scent of vanilla is subtly vented into the air at Disneyland? It's a special mix, the recipe for which is Top Secret. It is subtle enough that you barely even notice. But your brain does. The idea is, you go to the Park as a kid. You are excited beyond all reason. You smell this unique scent, and your brain forms neural pathways that associate that scent with those feelings. Have you ever wondered why adults in their 50's will spend thousands and thousands of dollars going to Disneyland even though they don't have kids? This is just one of many little tricks they use.
Bright colors. Engineered scents. Nostalgic sounds. Cheerful facades. There is an entire science behind it.
Disneyland also has this unique little secret: Club 33.
This is the exclusive dining room for... shall we say... the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. Membership in Club 33 is a closely guarded secret. Even the application process would give XTV a run for its money when it comes to being shadowy and cryptic. The annual cost to simply have such a status symbol is currently between $10,000-$30,000 USD, with an "initiation fee" ranging from $25,000-$50,000. Oh but it takes more than just money to get through that door. There is an exclusive waiting list and you PAY to be on that waiting list. You can wait for 10 or more years and never get picked.
Of course, it wouldn't do for the wrong people to be showing up. Disney needs a way to keep out the mere hoypoloi. Except, they can't exactly create a barricade. After all, Disneyland is the place of dreams for the masses. So they came up with a better solution: a special color of paint. A shade that actually has a secret mix and is very hard to exactly reproduce. A shade of green that your brain immediately sees and just as immediately dismisses as unimportant. It creates certain assumptions in a bright, colorful, managed enviroment, that anything painted in that color is just part of the background facade. In other words, NOT FOR YOU. They called it "GoAway Green".
Tourists pass the entrance to Club 33 every day and never even notice that it is there. Meanwhile, those who know exactly where the buzzer is and have a membership token push the secret button, give their code, and are quietly admitted.
GoAway Green... a bit like... GoAway Pynk, perhaps? Ah, the point finally emerges.
Did you know, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States actually uses these things called Number Stations? It's wild. They are radio stations located in weird areas that broadcast extremely weird stuff. Coded weird stuff. And if you know how to decode the weird stuff, then you are definitely a Grade A Spy. The thing is, anybody with a radio can pick up this weird stuff... kind of like how anyone with an internet connection can pick up XTV. And just like XTV, these Number Stations peridocially change names and locations whenever they are indanger of being unmasked. Pynk5 and 1984.wtf, anyone??
Did you know, there are these EXTREMELY weird YouTube channels. Most of them are just a string of numbers. Up until quite recently, most of them were set to PRIVATE, meaning you could not view the content at all. For unknown reasons, sometime in late 2024 / early 2025, ALL OF THEM became public. Why? That's a question for a different essay. The point is, they did. Now you too can see the secret messages. Take this one for example: 3121534312. Weird, spooky, bizzare videos, that contain numbers and symbols and all kinds of codes that would keep a steganography expert up all night deciphering. Videos that are genuinely unpleasant to watch as a regular viewer. Now here is where it gets really weird. Read the Comments section. No, really, go ahead. I'll wait.
WTF right? What are these comments!?
Did you seriously watch one of those and come away thinking it was a deep, spiritual experience? Notice that all of the remarks follow the "Starseed" script. (Much like XTV?). They are all posted by 'people' who identify as Starseeds. Yeah okay. Now go to the subreddit for r/starseeds and ask if anybody there has even heard of this channel. I promise, the answer will be No.
Click on the accounts of the 'people' who commented. They are either empty, or have posted short, weird (and I do mean weird) videos themselves. These videos often look normal on the surface, but if you watch them, you'll soon be asking WTF again. Example: A Let's Play of Grand Theft Auto where the player simply walks down a street for 20 seconds. Stuff that a real person wouldn't make, no real person would subscribe to watch, yet on the surface, it looks normal unless you really dig into it.
The answer is obvious. Bot Accounts. But... why?
Why use AI to write Starseed scripts? Well I asked AI, and it told me that it is because Starseed scripts are extremely easy to write. Not only that, most people consider Starseeds to be idiots. Sorry, but its true. They hear the mumbo-jumbo jargon and immediately write it off as NOT FOR THEM. In other words, its a form of GoAway Green.
But what about the Starseed themselves who actually stumble into this stuff and get involved? Oh but that is the sinister beauty of it, my darlings! They become part of the strategy. Because to put it lightly, people like this are not critical thinkers. They rolled pretty low on ye olde Int stat, but, they think they are smarter than everybody else. Special-er too. Chosen, you might say (144000 anyone?).
So they get incorporated into the deception. Much like how people who buy into the Starseed 'screenplay' of XTV and build websites and jump through hoops, following bizare instructions they don't understand, which creates..... noise. Lots and lots of noise. Lots of websites that mirror XTV and are cryptic and meaningless. This hardens XTV against analysis. Particularly AI analysis, which writes it off as being an ARG (alternate reality game), or as an "art project". It makes it very difficult to use Open Source Intelligence tools to dig up anything realiable. It obfuscates who is REALLY involved and in the know, from those who are just roleplaying for some measure of identity and/or approval. It creates convenient patsies.
It creates layers upon layers of defense for information that is out in the open, but indecipherable for people like you and I. A public ledger for... who? That's the real question. Spies? Is that the right answer? I honestly don't know. Who is REALLY playing this game?
Go away green. Go away pink. Just GO AWAY.
Now with all of that being said, XTV could still just be a cult run by a madman. There is plenty of evidence for that, and I lean two-and-fro between the idea that this all a well-guarded Secret, vs the idea that it's just a total nutjobs personal hobby. Yet the male voice of XTV, Zack, has this YouTube Channel: Zpunk, which I might add, dates back to around the same time that the other mysterious numbers channels were created. In fact, XTV has MANY channels like this. Someday I'll create a dedicated Links section and catalog them all. If this mystery continues to hold my interest.
Just remember, the first thing they ask you is, what are your coding skills like? Not a very Starseed question.
The jury is still out, but one thing I am certain of. Whatever this is, is NOT FOR ME.
