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.”
