The Wizard Of OZ

They told us it was a children's story. It was actually a warning about bankers, courts, corporations, and the legal fiction system. Here's the truth:

OZ = Ounces of Gold.

THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD = The Gold Standard.

THE STRAW MAN = Not a real man, a legal creation. He receives a certificate instead of a brain...just like we receive a Birth Certificate that creates the ALL-CAPS legal PERSON.

THE TIN MAN = (TIN = Taxpayer Identification Number) A soulless machine that works until it freezes and collapses. The symbol of the worker who becomes "rusted out" by nonstop taxation and labour.

THE COWARDLY LION = Loud roar, no courage. Just like politicians, judges and officials with titles but no true authority.

THE WIZARD = Smoke, fire, and a giant hologram head...but behind the curtain is just a scared little man. A perfect metaphor for modern government: Illusion of authority, backed by fear, no real power once the curtain is pulled back.

THE WICKED WITCH = (BAR & Policy Enforcers) Controls the flying monkeys, the police. Intimidation, threats, fear. She melts when exposed to truth and lawful jurisdiction.

THE POPPY FIELD = Dorothy collapses — drugged. The others don't — because they're not real humans. A warning about Rockefeller medicine and mass sedation.

TOTO = (Truth, Totality) Toto = "in toto" = "the whole truth."Small, unnoticed, but fearless. Toto pulls the curtain and exposes the illusion. That's why the Witch wanted him — not Dorothy. Truth is the biggest threat to the system.

THE VEIL IS FALLING = The Wizard of Oz wasn't fantasy. It was a coded message:

• The banking system is an illusion
• Corporate government is a façade
• Courts are theatres
• The ALL-CAPS NAME is not you
• The real power was always yours

One small truth collapses the whole illusion. Dark to Light. Thanks to Mike Osborn for this very well done explanation.
