The Secret Of Oz Page #2

Today I heard a senator say on tv: the trouble with General Motors is they have too much debt. And so the so the solution is to give them another big loan. Well you can't borrow yourself out of debt! General motors can't, you and I can't, the federal government can't, nobody can borrow themselves out of debt.

No more than like I said before: you cannot drink yourself sober! And that's what we're all trying to do. So it don't make any difference what kind of stimulus...and Obama he had a right idea - we're gonna build a lot of new roads - but he's gonna borrow the money. Well we can't even pay the debt now! I mean, we can't even pay the interest on it!

Nobody is even talking about the debt problem as such, they're talking about the fact bankers aren't making enough money to live in the way that they're accustomed to.

Until politicians begin to understand where the root of the problem lies, we're never going to fix this. But the good news is that the solution isn't new or radical: america used to do it long before L. Frank Baum wrote about it. Throughout american history politicians have fought with big bankers over it, but this aspect of our history has now been erased from history books.

I think we need to reconsider and re-think perhaps the very foundations of our economic and monetary system.

The government, the government agency or some agency of some kind should take charge of the money supply - But that's not the way it is now in the Great Britain - No no, not in any country. It's almost all over the world, it's a system...that bulks of money supply are now created by commercial banks. As debt!

If we were starting as people that were at the start of the constitution of a society and someone suggested: well the best way of creating the money and putting it in is to combine it with a function of providing a competitive profit-making market for borrowing and lending, it would be regarded as idiotic!

You want a new cause to embrace? You wanna do something good for humanity? How about one simple reform that will fix most of the bad things in this world like: hunger, poverty, disease and misery! This is the ultimate civil rights struggle human kinds escaped from serfdom.

As president obama put it: "Due to the ongoing recession the number of chronically hungry people will climb to over one billion worldwide."

But this is completely unnecessary. Yes, we could eliminate world hunger in a few years. But how?

The solution is the secret that's been hidden from us for over a hundred years, ever since the time when author L. Frank Baum wrote the wonderful wizard of Oz.

But before we show you what these symbols were, we've got to understand some history, otherwise "The Wizard of Oz" connection just won't make sense to you. So let's take a journey down the yellow brick road through monetary history, our first stop will be Rome.

The problem with money is that, like many other things in life, people fight over who gets to be in control of it. In fact the only time jesus became violent was when he chased the money changers from the temple: "He made a whip out of cords and he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables".

What was that all about? The money changers were the bankers of that day, they had created a special silver coin called the "half-shekel" or "shekel of the sanctuary".

Even the poor had to have some of these coins to pay their temple tax! So the money changers could charge whatever the market would bear. This monopoly on money was nothing less than stealing from the poorest jews, on their holiest ground! This outraged jesus just as it would outrage the senators of the Roman republic a few years later.

Although we will never know for sure, fighting over the control of money may have been the cause of the most famous assassinations in history.

What made Rome great? There were many factors but certainly the most overlooked was the money system of the Roman republic.

About 300 b.c. the Roman republic supplied the people with a plentiful forms of cheap money, money made from copper and bronze. Then they spent this cheap money into the economy - it was a revolutionary idea.

Today opponents of this money system call it "fiat money", money not backed by precious metals. But what the Roman republicans had discovered was that it doesn't matter what backs the money, all it matters is who controls its quantity. Did it work back then? It was amazingly effective!

Unlike today it was a money system created without debt to the government.

This was the first great experiment in arresting the money power from the goldsmiths. This cheap form of money circulated for the benefit of all citizens equally, not just the usual gold coins which always benefit the rich.

With this new plentiful supply of money real wealth flowed to the common man:

"Without use of either gold or silver Rome became mistress of commerce of the world. Her people were the bravest, the most prosperous, the most happy, for they knew no grinding poverty. Her money was issued directly to the people, and was composed of a cheap material - copper and brass - based alone upon the faith and credit of the nation...

...with this abundant money supply she built her magnificent courts and temples. She distributed her lands among the people in small holdings, and wealth poured into the coffers of Rome."

But then suddenly Julius Caesar changed the Roman money supply drastically. He started minting gold coins with his image on them. Then he declared himself emperor for life putting and end to Rome's great experiment in elected government.

The republicans and the senate hated gold money and the plutocracy rules by the rich that it implied.

Although the senators assassinated Julius Caesar gold money now had taken root empowered by the very rich and the dictators they were able to buy with their gold.

After Caesar's assassination copper and brass were de-monetized, taken out of circulation. The quantity of money was reduced by 90%.

A deep depression set in: the average person had to sell his property just to buy basic necessities. The wealth of the nation was quickly concentrated into the hands of the richest romans, once again.

Gone was the incentive to work hard and build a great nation for the common good. By 41A.D. Rome was sacked by the Visigots and humanity was plunged into the gloom of the dark ages.
