Did you hear the story that the Wizard of Oz was actually written as an expose on the bankers who were intent on stealing the USA's gold...(accomplished in 1930)?
--------
I was told that OZ refers to the weight of gold
"follow the yellow brick road" was a reference to Gold Bullion
The man behind the curtain, was the evil bankers planning their theft/heist
The munchkins = We the people
Wicked Witch of the West = The President - by making gold possession illegal
Flying Monkeys - IRS Agents
RED Shoes - blood that must be shed to regain freedom, and return HOME
There may be more...but I just heard about it.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published in Chicago in 1900. Its author, L. Frank Baum, was the editor of a South Dakota newspaper and a supporter of William Jennings Bryan who stood three times, unsuccessfully, as a U.S. Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.
The particular concern of both Baum and Bryan was the nature of the money supply then prevalent in the United States, and in the Mid-Western States in particular.
In America during the 1890s, as in Britain, there had been a severe depression. Many businesses had gone bankrupt, farmers forced to sell up, factories closed and workers made unemployed. True, some farms in the Mid-West were suffering from drought, but most were still capable of growing food; the businesses and factories were still capable of providing the things that people needed; the workers still wanted to work to provide those things, and people would still want the goods and services produced if they had the money to buy them.
The money in the USA then, as now, was entirely created by the private banking system. The pretence existed then that money was based on gold. (Even now some people still think that it is!) The major banks, based on the East and West coasts, could vary the amount of money in circulation, lending more to encourage commercial activity, then fore-closing on loans to put people out of business, enabling the banks to acquire their businesses cheaply.
Baum and Bryan wanted money to be based on silver, not gold, as silver was more readily available in the Mid-West, where it was mined. Such a money supply could not be manipulated by the banks. So the story of the Wizard of Oz starts with a cyclone in the form of imagined electoral success for Bryan...
Dorothy, a sort of proverbial ‘Everywoman’, lands on the Wicked Witch of the East (the East-coast bankers), killing her, so freeing the Munchkins, the down-trodden poor, but the Wicked Witch of the West (the West-coast bankers) remains loose.
To deal with her and to get back to Kansas (normality), the Good Witch of the North, representing the electorate of the North (this is less than 40 years after the civil war), tells Dorothy to seek out the Wizard of Oz (‘oz’ being short for ounce, the means of weighing both gold and silver). She also gives her a pair of silver slippers (as they were in the book - they became ruby ones in the film). Only these silver slippers will enable her to remain safe on the yellow-brick road, representing the bankers’ gold standard, as she heads towards the Emerald City, representing Washington DC.
On her journey, Dorothy encounters a Scarecrow, representing the farmers, who do not have the wit to understand how they can end up losing their farms to the banks, even though they work hard to grow the food to feed a hungry nation. If only they could think it through!
Next, she encounters a Tin Woodsman, representing the industrial workers, rusted as solid as the factories of the 1890s depression, and who have lost the sense of compassion and co-operation to work together to help each other during hard times. Also, a spell cast upon him by the Wicked Witch of the East meant that every time he swung his axe, he chopped off a bit of himself - he downsized!
Then the growing party encounters a Cowardly Lion, representing the politicians. These have the power, through the power of Congress and the Constitution, to confront the Wicked Witches, representing the banks, but they lack the courage to do so.
Dorothy is able to motivate these three potent forces and leads them all towards the Emerald City, whence ‘greenbacks’ had once come, and an encounter with the omnipotent and wonderful Wizard of Oz.
The Wizard of Oz is initially quite majestic and apparently awesome, but he turns out to be a little man without the power that people assume he possesses. He does, of course, represent the President of the United States. With the Wizard’s illusion of power shattered, he is replaced by the Scarecrow who would ‘be another Lincoln’.
The Wicked Witch of the West, fearful for her own power, then attempts to destroy Dorothy but is herself dissolved in a bucket of water, as rain relieves the Mid-West drought, saves the farmers’ livelihoods and prevents repossession by the banks.
The Good Witch of the South, representing the Southern electorate, tells Dorothy that her silver slippers, silver-based money, are so powerful that anything she wishes for is possible, even without the help of the Wizard. Dorothy wishes to go home. There all is now well, because the land has a stable and abundant money supply.

The above piece was likely her source. It would of behooved her to ferret it out and do some very simple research before once again jamming her size 14 army boots back into her pie hole.

I agree. Why, even a fool knows Baum wrote it to warn us of 'flying monkey attacks' the Free Republic used to do to places when they went off en mass to pull the straw our of places like Democratic Underground.
You'd think that Lazamataz would have explained that to her in his posts to that eLPee thread. ;-D

The book was written on account to create Project Monarch mind-controlled slaves to serve the elite and to create the perfect Manchurian Candidate. There is another book created by the same author that was scripted for cryptic purposes on how each of those characters were to play their true part. Except for people working in the intelligence community, only 10% of the general population are aware of Project Monarch and the other book (cryptic book) by Baum ever in existence. Goldi-lox claims she is a member of Mensa and has worked with the intelligence community? Oh really??? Perhaps, she is also a slave to their programming too. What Goldi-lox needs to do is check her facts before she posts and starts attacking other posters. Finally, she needs to pull her head out of her anus because it has been her anus lips doing most of the talking.

It's a common discussion. See Political interpretations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
So I don't see why you're insulting Goldi over relating what she'd read of this somewhat strained interpretation of Oz. Seems to me she mentioned the major elements of the supposed economic allegory accurately enough.

Consider it quid pro quo.
I never saw why she had to insult me with contrived charges of improper posting concerning the piece she used to invent a reason to ban me.
What comes around, goes around.
She reaps what she sows.

You related to Goldi? Or is it just some sort of abnormal obsession? And if you are so determined about seeing the point just step over to the mirror and take off your wig. Be sure no kids are around... don't want the double lobotomy scars to frighten them when you remove the wig - conehead.

Are you?

"Or is it just some sort of abnormal obsession?"

One thread is an obsession? How interesting.

"And if you are so determined about seeing the point just step over to the mirror and take off your wig."

Hey, I'm 57, the bald spot doesn't upset me at all. It's just part of getting older and being male. I would of thought you'd know that by now.

"Be sure no kids are around... don't want the double lobotomy scars to frighten them when you remove the wig - conehead."

Actually it's one scar and I got it from playing human lawn dart falling from a tree 22 July 1998 putting me in a coma for little over a week.
And it doesn't bother the young ones at all. In fact, my nephew thinks it's kinda kewl.
Shows what you know. ;-D

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published in Chicago in 1900. Its author, L. Frank Baum, was the editor of a South Dakota newspaper and a supporter of William Jennings Bryan who stood three times, unsuccessfully, as a U.S. Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.
The particular concern of both Baum and Bryan was the nature of the money supply then prevalent in the United States, and in the Mid-Western States in particular.
In America during the 1890s, as in Britain, there had been a severe depression. Many businesses had gone bankrupt, farmers forced to sell up, factories closed and workers made unemployed. ....

Perhaps Baum and William Jennings Bryan had read the Great Red Dragon about the London Money Power in America, written in 1889:
greatreddragon.com/toc.htm [see toc, chapter 5, 6, and 7]/ greatreddragon.com/pubnote.htm

The Wizard of Oz....Motion Picture, 1939....an allegory for the new state of affairs in America in the 1930's following the stock market crash and the factual bankruptcy of the US Government immediately thereafter....
