Goldi's Theory on the "meaning" of The Wizard of Oz
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.
