Yes, the great and powerful Wizard of Oz has been found after a 109 year hiatus in hiding. But let’s back up and take a short trip down memory lane to find out what caused him to remain incognito right under our noses for all those years.
If you remember the original story, it’s all about a sweet and innocent girl named Dorothy who fell into disaster as the result of a destructive whirlwind. In order to find her way back home, she was told to follow the yellow brick road where the great wizard of The Land of Oz was isolated inside his palatial city, the Emerald City. After an opium drug-induced sleep during her journey, Dorothy eventually awoke and soon after was face to face with who she was told was the great Wizard of Oz, a supernatural perceived being of immense stature and authority who could give you whatever you needed.
But then Dorthy’s Cairn Terrier dog, Toto, surprisingly revealed that the man behind the curtain – who was controlling the illusional smoke and mirror images of his falsified persona – was nothing but a grand fraud and proficient manipulator. Once his true identity was known, he quickly escaped in a hot air balloon to some unknown land.
Where did the great and powerful Wizard of Oz eventually land when his hot air ran out? To answer that, it’s necessary to understand the definitions and symbolisms behind L. Frank Baum’s book, The Wizard of Oz.
The word Oz is a standardized abbreviation for the word “ounce” or “ounces”. It’s a unit of weight defined in the U.S. Customary System, “an avoirdupois unit equal to 437.5 grains (28.35 grams)”. It applies to both gold and silver weight standards.
The yellow brick road symbolizes the international monetary standard based on a “brick of gold weighing one kilogram (kilo)”, or 1,000 grams of gold. The Wizard of Oz even saw fit to create a path of gold bricks winding through the Land of Oz that led directly to his palace.
The dog’s name, Toto, comes from the Latin toto “all”, meaning “entirety, wholeness, completeness”. Common sense dictates that Toto represented all the people, the American masses. When Toto started barking at the curtain that was shielding the Wizard, he was told to be quiet so as not to offend the Wizard. Frustrated at the others for not listening to his vocal warnings, Toto pulled the curtain open to reveal the real wizard.
The name Dorothy comes from the Greek word doron meaning “gift” + the feminine of theos meaning “god”, or simply “gift of god”.
At the time the book was published in 1900, ounces of gold and silver were the standard monetary system of exchange and value throughout all of the American States at a set ratio. U.S. Treasury minted gold coins – known as $20 Gold Liberty Double Eagle coins – contained an oz. of gold combined with other metals to give them a harder strength and to reduce wear. They were accepted, traded and exchanged as a one ounce gold coin. The same weight standard applied to the $1 Silver Eagle coin containing one oz of silver.
The wizard of Oz was the symbolic front man for the gold & silver monetary banking system that he represented. He did not personally own the gold or silver. He was a mere puppet on a string paraded around before the public eye to keep the identity of his puppet master bankers well hidden. His domain was the Emerald City, the only place within the Land of Oz (where everything was gold colored) that was green, even though the yellow brick road led directly there… and that was no mistake.
The Emerald City was symbolic of the Greenback. The Wizard of Oz used his illusional banking powers to exchange ounces of gold and silver into paper greenbacks. But when his smoke and mirror facade was openly seen by the people (in toto), he was stopped and quickly left in a balloon full of (his own) hot air.
Where did the Wizard of Oz end up? Sixteen years later, he landed his balloon in Washington City and became known as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank. Washington City then became the new Emerald City.
Because of the whirlwind political disaster at the time, the silver slippers that once belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East (China was a silver monetary system) were now being worn by Dorothy. The Wicked Witch of the West (the European and US bankers) tried to take them away from Dorothy, but when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on the Western witch, she melted and disappeared. Water is a purifier and cleanser. That’s why the Western banking witch melted as there was no purity within her. After all, exchanging gold and silver for paper is a fraud and there is no purity in deceit.
Thirty-three years after leaving the Emerald City and setting up shop in Washington City, the Wizard of Oz puppet masters realized they no longer needed smoke and mirror illusions to exchange gold and silver money for worthless green paper. All they had to do was to force the U.S. Treasury and it’s government into bankruptcy. Once it was declared that all the gold and silver money had to be collected and exchanged for Emerald City green paper, they could control and keep all the gold and silver for themselves.
For the following seventy-six years, the Wizard of Oz has enjoyed manipulating his illusional game of green Federal Reserve Note paper while those who control his puppet strings sit on untold fortunes of gold and silver.
Every con artist and illusionist knows his scheme can’t go on forever, so after seizing all the gold and silver money they could for all those many years, they are now about to eliminate their greenback paper FRN$, close down the Emerald City complex, fire the wizard, and emerge with their hoards of gold and silver to open up shop under a new name with a new wizard.
Dorothy, Auntie Em, Henry, and all the others have been enslaved to the desires and whims of Emerald City for five generations. They have lost their Kansas farm along with their gold and silver. Where the countryside was yellow with wheat and corn, it is now green with foreclosures and failures.
A weak tornado is beginning to whirl, but it may never grow into a powerful storm. It just may die out without having any impact.
Meanwhile, the American yellow brick road has been paved over with black asphalt.
The Wizard is filling his balloon with an abundance of hot air in view of everyone and quickly preparing his midnight escape.
The banker puppeteers are hiding in their golden vaults waiting to occupy their new city…only this time, it will be a yellow river and not a yellow brick road leading to the new emerald city, the Golden City of China.
The little people have been sold out, robbed, raped, and pillaged. The Land of Oz has already been foreclosed on. The new owners are waiting in the wings. Dorothy’s great great great granddaughter can only find a job as a factory worker in Beijing.
Toto, where are you?
We need you to pull open that curtain once again to expose the illusions all the Sheeple have been convinced were real.
Can we catch the wizard before he escapes this time?
Wait…. What’s that?
Is that a Cairn terrier I hear barking in the distance?
