The Symbolism of "THE WIZARD of OZ"

We all know the story. "THE WIZARD of OZ", seen and/or read by millions in past decades; an American fairy tale, a child's story written by L. Frank Baum. I've seen the Wizard of Oz many times myself as  a child, and then as an adult, and still find it to be both fascinating and frightening. I could never quite decipher what message the story was attempting to convey.

One anonymous author, however, claims that this appears to be a message to expose the banking cartel in America. His theory?

"Oz" is a symbol for ounces, measured in gold. The yellow brick road symbolizes bricks or ingot bars of gold.

The Straw Man represents that ALL CAPS, legal fiction - a PERSON, created by the U.S. Government with the same spelling as our birth name. The Straw Man wants a brain but no legal fiction has a brain. So the scarecrow gets a birth certificate, is proud of his new legal status, and becomes the brainless sack of straw who is given a certificate in place of a grain of common sense.

The Tin Man represents the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The TIN Man just stands there mindlessly doing his work until his body literally freezes up and stops functioning. His task masters oil the Tin Man nightly with beer and place him in front of a hypnotic television until his existence has no meaning or value. His masters keep him cold on the outside and heartless on the inside to control any emotion or feeling that might arise.

The Cowardly Lion is too frightened to stand up for himself. He's a bully and a big mouth when it comes to picking on those smaller than him, but buckles under and whimpers when anyone of any size or stature challenges him. He wants courage so he's awarded a medal of "official" recognition. Now, though still a coward, his official status allows him to be a bully, but with officially recognized authority. (Not unlike attorneys who hide behind the Bar.)

The Emerald  City is The Federal Reserve System.

The smoke, flames and holographic images of Oz are designed to frighten people into doing as the Great Wizard commands. Toto finally exposes the Wizard for what he really is. Toto means "in total, all together; Latin in toto." Toto is not scared of the Great Wizard, yet so small in size that no one seems to notice him.

Toto simply looks behind the curtain, sees it's a scam, starts barking until others pay attention to him and come to see what all the barking is about.

Who's behind the curtain? Just an ORDINARY PERSON controlling the levers that creates the illusion of the Great Wizard's power and authority. When Toto pulls back the curtain and completely exposes him, the charade is at an end.

The Wizard's game is UP. What is he? ... a con-man. A FRAUD.
