The Secret Of Oz Page #13

Synopsis: What's going on with the world's economy? Foreclosures are everywhere, unemployment is skyrocketing - and this may only be the beginning. Could it be that solutions to the world's economic problems could have been embedded in the most beloved children's story of all time, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"? The yellow brick road (the gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were powerful symbols of author L. Frank Baum's belief that the people - not the big banks -- should control the quantity of a nation's money.

So what this all boils down to is whether america, still the freest nation in history, will once again break free of the privately-owned central bank as it has 6 times in the past.

What's at stake?

Will we continue to be able to own our own homes, will both parents continue to have to work, will the average american be able once again to actually have a positive net-worth and be able to save money.

Why don't we have any money? Because there is no debt-free U.S. money supply so there's no extra money in the system. It all goes to interest payments in this debt-based economy. Our money is not issued by the government, even though they make it look like it is.

It doesn't have to be this way! This system has got to go!!

Some will say, well those crooks in congress will create too much money once they get the money power.

But congress now creates all the money it wants, it just creates it as debt which never gets paid back and which we the people have to continually pay interest on. Instead of creating bonds or debt, the government could and should be creating dollars! Interest free.

As the inventor of the electric light, Thomas Edison put it: "If our nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people."

Edison was friends with carmaker Henry Ford. Ford understood how the monetary system depended on keeping the average american confused:

"It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Under this system we can never get out of debt, it's just impossible. Nor is go back to money the solution, that was the most important symbol in "The Wizard of Oz".

You think international manipulation is easy now? Just wait until we return to a gold-money system!

As Thomas Edison told the New York Times: "Gold an money are separate things. Gold is the trick mechanism by which you can control money that is the root of all evil."

The solution is government-issued money. That's the most democratic form of money system. It maximizes freedom in a republic instead of the centralized control of the international plutocracy we are rapidly devolving into.

But be prepared to deal with the modern day goldbugs, their arguments divert us from the real question.

They say:
this money that is created by the state, or by society, is not real money, it may represent real money, but it isn't real money.

It's not what backs our money, it's who controls its quantity! That's what "The Wizard of Oz" was all about. Big bankers were controlling the quantity of american money, gold money.

Others will say Congress is irresponsive to the people as it is. Well of course not! Politicians are responsive to those with the power! Right now the banks have the power!

We have to take back the ultimate power of any nation, the power over its money! With the power of banks diminished, politicians will become responsive to the voters once again.

If we value the founding fathers' dream of freedom and escape from serfdom by political self-determination, we have to conclude that creating our money is too important of a function to be put into private hands. History has shown, time and time again, that leads only to plutocracy ruled by the rich, and ultimately slavery.

But what about the banks? They're already failing.

Let the big banks fail. No bank is too big to fail! Government can issue its own money, we don't need their hyper-expensive compounding interest system.

Don't worry banks or banking won't go away, you'll still go down to your corner bank to deposit your check! Your bank will still be there! Only the guts, the banks' accounting system, the part you will never see anyway will change.

It does not mean the banks will be unable to be prosperous. They would have a slightly different business model than they enjoy now, but not even all the banks have that model today! You have savings and loans, credit unions, loan companies that historically don't create new money, but yet they do intermediate money, they do loan it out, they do take deposits and they're careful with the investments they make! And they do make money on fees and on being intermediaries between these sources of funds and the investments they make and that would not end.

It would not. Banks would still have, in my opinion, they would still have a very prosperous future!

There is hope! Especially here in america. History has shown that america has fought to create its own money for the last 300 years.

In fact in no other nation on earth has the population fought for it as successfully and with such determination over the centuries as America. All we need in the face of this oncoming first depression of the 21st century is a little education. We can make this the new civil rights movement, the new human rights movement.

Nations of the world, the same applies to you!

Virtually every nation now labors under the same monetary system! All money is created at interest, as a debt.

Once again, we're falling for the bankers threats of economic collapse just like when Andrew Jackson tried to kill the 2nd Bank of The United States. It's nothing but pure extortion!

World extortion! Let them fail!

Remember! All this money we're giving them is at interest! Money we are borrowing to give to the banks, then these very same banks have the audacity to loan this money back to us at more interest!

In 2009 the interest we paid on the national debt in one year was more than we spent totally on the Iraq war! This system has got to go.

In 2009 interest payments on the national debt will exceed 700 billion dollars. Compare that to the 18 billion dollars from NASA, 23 billion for the entire department of justice, or 65 billion for the entire department of Education.

I think it will a very big dredge, I think it will be actually a central dredge, looking towards say the next hundred years or so in the survival of our species to get these things straight.

That's the secret that can set humanity free! Our children won't be settled with any more national debt. That's right! No more national debt! That term will cease to exist!!

And don't fall for the argument that those rascals in congress will spend too much money if they get the power to create money! They are expending it! They're just borrowing it, then giving it away! It can't get any worse!

The questions raised by the study of the symbolism embedded in the wonderful wizard of oz are even more important when you understand that this is not just an american problem! It's totally international!

This privately-owned money system is worldwide and is literally the primary cause of most of the world's hunger, poverty, misery and disease.

After William Jennings Bryan loss in 1896 their cause started weakening, their ship started to sink. In 1900 L. Frank Baum's wonderful wizard of oz was like a desperate flare, fired into the night of history, hoping that someone across the centuries would notice, would pay attention to the greatest issue of their era and ultimately ours. Humankind's escape from the debt-money system.
