The Secret of Oz (by Mr Bill Still)

The Secret of Oz

What's the Movie About?

It is well known in economics academia that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900 is loaded with powerful symbols of monetary reform which were the core of the Populist movement and the 1896 and 1900 president bid of Democrat William Jennings Bryan.

The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were the symbol of Baum's and Bryan's belief that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America.

We believe Baum's symbols represent the only solution to relieve the growing economic hardship here in America -- and the rest of the world. Practically speaking, 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1939 MGM release of the The Wizard of Oz movie, so interest will be very high. Even Oz websites put up by kids get millions of hits.

Intro

"In 1996, in a documentary called "The MoneyMasters", we asked the question why is America going broke. It wasn't clear then that we were, but it is today. Now the question is how can we get out of this mess. Foreclosures are everywhere, unemployment is skyrocketing -- and this is only the beginning. America's economy is on a long, slippery slope from here on. The bubble ride of debt has come to an end.

"What can government do? The sad answer is -- under the current monetary system -- nothing. It's not going to get better until the root of the problem is understood and addressed. There isn't enough stimulus money in the entire world to get us out of this hole.

"Why? Debt. The national debt is just like our consumer debt -- it's the interest that's killing us.

"Though most people don't realize it the government can't just issue it's own money anymore. It used to be that way. The King could just issue stuff called money. Abraham Lincoln did it to win the Civil War.

"No, today, in our crazy money system, the government has to borrow our money into existence and then pay interest on it. That's why they call it the National Debt. All our money is created out of debt. Politicians who focus on reducing the National Debt as an answer probably don't know what the National Debt really is. To reduce the National Debt would be to reduce our money -- and there's already too little of that.

"No, you have to go deeper. You have to get at the root of this problem or we're never going to fix this. The solution isn't new or radical. America used to do it. Politicians used to fight with big bankers over it. It's all in our history -- now sadly -- in the distant past.

"But why can't we just do it again? Why can't we just issue our own money, debt free? That, my friends, is the answer. Talk about reform! That's the only reform that will make a huge difference to everyone's life -- even worldwide.

"The solution is the secret that's been hidden from us for just over 100 years -- ever since the time when author L. Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

absolutely astounding.

Your debt is fraudulent. All of it.

If we had some way of using LIBOR tactics on them and got caught what would be OUR punishment? Would THEY have any mercy on us? Or would they crush you?

They are master manipulators that OWN the media.

Most people have their head to far up their religious ass to take a stand against this tyranny.

Most people are too busy watching sports and drinking beer to take a stand against this tyranny.

Revolution. Kill your debt.

The next Governor of Nevada will give the residents of the State their own interest free currency.

North Dakota has the only state owned bank in america. We are a model of success here in this state. It blows my mind that only one state in thu U.S. has its own bank. why don't other states start there own banking systems? I think nows a good time to start. i mean c'mon can it get any worse?

[waylon hall]

If every state did as North Dakota has been doing for over 90 plus years, there would be no private banking issue.

I hope Iceland doesn't get blackmailed into joining the EU to cover the private debt of money changers

Banks must be regulated so that fractional reserve lending is made illegal

Banks are the biggest burden on public spending

The subsidies banks receive to allow fractional lending would make the people wealthy 100 times over instead of turning money into debt

Control of money supply must be in the people's hands and this will restore political representation to us

The POWER IS IN OUR HANDS

[dinobluto]

ABA is pure evil

Restricting the money supply is the MO of the money changers

They create a false panic through blackmail, manufacture a collapse, make people's assets worthless then buy them cheap, steal their wealth, make them work to buy it back at 10 times the price and watch the profits increase exponentially through slavery

Every depression further consolidates control and wealth into fewer hands

1894, 1929, 2008 and 201?

People's control over the supply of money is the action we need

[HABHDAY]

wow! no national debt just like that gone over night. how long did those in power think they could pull the wool over tax payers eyes. I will be sharing this video on facebook and telling my church members to watch this as well. thanks for a powerful video

You would think that considering how materialistic our world has become, that most people would have a good understanding of our monetary system and how it works (and why it doesn't). Yet most people know very little about money and where it comes from. They'll tell you that the Federal Reserve is a government entity. It's no wonder that they don't teach this stuff in schools. The banker's best tool against an informed public is a misinformed public.
