The Secret of Oz – It’s Not What Backs The Money – It’s Who Controls The Quantity

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Bill Still’s new movie The Secret of Oz is probably the best piece we’ve seen yet on the history of money in America – as well as revealing the fascinating underlying symbolism of the original L Frank Baum book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

We wholeheartedly agree with Nathan Martin in today’s post on the subject:

Nathans Post On The Secret of Oz

Here’s an out take:
After viewing Bill Still’s award winning movie, “The Secret of Oz,” you will never view “The Wizard of Oz” or our economy with the same child eyed unawareness as I once did.

The Secret of Oz is a terrific analogy and Bill walks us all the way to REAL solutions that can move us past naive HOPE, and into a fulfilling future, one without debt based money and one without the manipulations and flaws of a gold standard. Bill pulls back the curtain of history and together we will show how the issues have been boxed in over time – Republican/ Democrat, Gold Standard/ DEBT based fiat.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Bill’s movie, “The Secret of Oz” presents history in a fascinating way, he then picks up on author L. Frank Baum’s symbolisms and spells them all out for you – The yellow brick road, the silver slippers, the Emerald City, the mindless Scarecrow, the heartless Tin Man, the cowardly Lion. Even the witches and flying monkeys have meanings that you will find fascinating.

***

And we also heartily encourage everyone to join us, and Nathan Martin in getting your own copy of the film and getting the word out about it. As Nate says:

“Please view the film and enter into a healthy discussion. Help me prove that the people’s heads are not filled with straw, that we have heart, and that with lion-like courage we can have the AUDACITY TO ACT and turn our discussion into reality.”

Buy the Movie The Secret of Oz – Watch it – Spread the Word About it!

Land Owners to Serfs No Matter How You Slice it… A Quick Look at Modern Feudalism

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

New Fannie Mae Program *Allows* Homeowners to Turn in Deeds for Leases with Fannie Mae.

Can someone tell me how this is different than the massive foreclosures on American farmers in the 1890’s?  Really?  I want to hear how.

Homeowners now have the *marvelous* option of becoming tenants to Fannie Mae for one year instead of being homeless destitute foreclosed upon homeowners!

Oh Goodie we get to be tenants in our own homse because the banks created a housing bubble that made our home worth more than anything we could actually afford to live in and then took that profit and is now wiilling to RENT us OUR HOME (for one year) until they figure out how to take us for ever as a new “tenant”???

This is an interest only loan gone berserk. This is pure and simple debt slavery where you never own a thing you simply rent – and pay – or you could just call it what it is: Modern Feudalism.

Hello new world.

Goodbye old one…

Fannie Offers Leases for Deeds Trade Your Home for a Lease Today!

Because…  YOU CAN!!!

Matt Taibbi’s Rolling Stone Article: Wall Street’s Naked Swindle – Must Reading

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

If you’re looking around at the available reading material on the subject of the current financial crisis and trying to decide where to invest your time, look no further than this October 15th Rolling Stone Magazine Article by Matt Taibbi

Sure, it’s 8 full pages of reading, and that’s a LOT in the world on online jibberish, one liners, sound bits and photo opps but it is the best damn 8 pages of reading you are likely to do in a while on the subject and in terms of providing clarity, let’s just say it will leave you unsettling clear and wondering WTF as well as askign yourself how we get control of what is clearly now firmly in control of our government and our financial system: namely a massive, deeply entrenched system of fraud.

In Wall Street’s Naked Swindle you will discover just how far gone our current financial system is, and just how at this very moment it is being handed over without reservation to the largest and most corrupt banking powers of our day.

You might say, “well who cares?” or “what can I do about that?” but the truth is, if more people in this country knew the truth about the current financial crisis the polls asking who is to blame would not be coming up with the lame-o answers of “Democrats” or “Republicans” and the cherade of blaming politicians for what is now a systemic propblem of mass corruption would be set aside to deal with the real issue which is the wholesale theft of our government by the banking elites. Not to mention that people responsible for this huge swindle would start going to jail, perhaps… just perhaps. The truth is that if they do not, then our system of money and governance as we know it will not be around much longer to talk about.

If you are looking for the facts underlying the realities we are all experiencing, this is a great place to start.

Ron Paul HR 1207 Audit the Fed –

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Ron Paul has been crusading for banking reform in the US for over 2 decades. In this historic event, his House Bill 1207 is finally getting some air time.  Whether or not it will pass – and what exactly will happen next in the banking industry in the US is another question entirely.  Without informed citizens to push the Congress into actions that go beyond the usual self serving rhetoric, it is questionable, at best.

This is a three hour video so you may not be able to take it all at once, but it’s important enough to watch. This is your government in action – all we can say is Ron Paul is worth watching.
