#6. To: westvalley, all (#1) 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.
