Conservatism or Communism or Total Freedom? You Choose

Here recently, I have been reviewing several of the conservative views or supposedly conservative views, and am starting to find out that a lot of conservative viewpoints are leading us more and more down the path to communism. I have been lately becoming more and more a supporter of the John Birch Society or JBS and their viewpoints of keeping our Constitution as our focal point in leading all of us down a path to total freedom. One such video I reviewed was the JBS review of ex-Speaker N. Gingrich. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWPz1Qdq1uI&feature=share) [this was given about a year ago]

When I entered the military back in 1970, one of the very first questions I was asked was whether I was a member of the JBS or John Birch Society. Needless to say, I said no and had no idea what the JBS was or what they stood for. If I had known of the JBS and knew their stance with military and the overall view of Communism, I might have questioned why I was asked that question, if I were to be going to defend our country from an actual force of Communism trying to undermine our own government.

Since getting out of the military complex, my curiosity got the better of me, so I started investigating what the JBS was and where they stood. As a matter of fact, my views have followed along the same lines of the JBS, in all reality. The JBS stance has been and still is for the individual and not for the group as a whole or collectivism. The Republican and Democratic and any other organized party are essentially collectivists as they support their own party groups first and leave the individual to fend for themselves. This leads to BIG GOVERNMENT, something that individualists detest in all essence.

Most parties of politics are on a collectivist movement and eventually leads to a Communistic takeover of the whole world (A New World Order but actually the OLD WORLD ORDER or OWO). Parties are not for the people in all essence but are for what they stand for first, and if you do not agree with some issues of that party, then you are demonized within and without those parties. You are NOT considered a prime candidate for their party, no matter how much you want to reduce the government and bring the power back to the people themselves. If you do not follow strict party lines then they feel you are an enemy of (their) state of system of beliefs. (State in the political arena is flatly stated as a position or stance, not a physical location)

So my questions to everyone is: Are you a Party Liner or are you an individualist? Do you wish for a group of people to rule over all of us or should the individual rule over themselves? If the individual should rule themselves, does the party or group tend to support you or demonize you?

Party affiliation subverts what you believe as what you need to do for yourself and eventually for others. This affiliation also divides society into little groups and leads to the eventual fall of the total society. This is what Communism hopes for. Kruschev stated this in his address to the US, that he would bury us from within. What better way to do it than to divide us so that we can be defeated more easily. AND we have been following this platform ever since. We create new laws that divide us. We fight amongst ourselves when it comes to electing a leader to guide us as a nation under a total collectivist ideology.

Collectivism gives the ideology that doing something for the whole is best and the hell with the individual, because that individual can be sacrificed for the greater good (Communist Manifesto). Just because we join groups of like mindedness, this is also a form of collectivism, and we do not recognize it. Even joining our own little groups still brings about the ideology of division amongst all of us, and the Communist Regime just sits back and smiles smuggly, because that was their plan in the first place. So all of America and the world has fallen into the trap set up for them in the very beginning.

Division really begins in the family, because families literally isolate themselves and their beliefs from other families and weaken the entire system we would really want to have for ourselves. To counter this division, everyone must come together and form or restore a system, that defines who we are specifically, and what we want specifically and not in vague ideologies.

Isn't it time to come together and form definitions that specifically show what every ideology we hold as Sacred? Do we want total Freedom or do we want others to make our decisions for us? If we define everything that we hold as Sacred, then there is no reason for anyone to not know where we stand, and we can keep from offending anyone.

One thing that governs our ability or inability to define ourselves is our inability to control our own emotions about what we believe in. If you or we allow our emotions to control what others should believe, then we have created a caste system where there is always someone below us, no matter where we are on a totem pole of power. Emotional beliefs are a detriment to society and keeps all of us from defining precisely who we are and where we stand.

Elections and Party Lines and Like minded groups are all formed under emotional ideologies and this even includes the Religious lines. Have you ever noticed that if you criticize any Party, any elected leader from any like minded group, or anyone's religion, that you are immediately defined as someone who is not viable to be a part of those groups? You will go to HELL, you are an enemy of the State, you are a terrorist, and so on and so on. This is emotional ideologies coming to the forefront.

If you are totally Free and exercising Freedom, then emotion plays NO important part of any beliefs. Emotional beliefs are a weakness of everyone who holds onto the beliefs that you are wrong to have any belief that is different from that one you hold. If you take full responsibility for you and you alone, then you have no reason to involve yourself into someone else's beliefs, until you are asked for your opinion. When you are not asked for your opinion, and express your opinion on that belief, even behind that individual's back, then you are trespassing onto someone else's beliefs where you have no business. Who gave you that authority?

When we look at the ideologies of Conservatism, Communism, Liberalism, and any other group ideologies, we are looking at Social Contracts. Are you a member of one of these ideologies? More than likely you are involved in one or more of them at any point in your life. Although you may be involved in them, are you signatory to them? Are you a signed up member of that ideology? If you are not directly signed up to one of these memberships, then you do not have any business being able to make any of the decisions of any of these memberships. Most of these memberships (interesting twist on what this means politically) are formed under written rules and regulations (not widely accepted laws created by the people themselves directly) especially for those systems.

Many people do not realize that when they ask their Representatives to create laws to govern them, that once the people have given their permission for those Representatives to make those laws, that those Representatives create laws in their own version of what the people want. Representatives create the laws in their own words and protect themselves from ever having to follow those laws for their entire lifetime. They take the ideas from the people and twist those wants around, to where the people are forced to follow the ideology created for them, even if it is not totally what they wanted in the first place. Most people believe that those Representatives can be removed for their inadequacies for the people, but how many have been removed immediately for those indiscretions? NONE! Many of their laws they created become the collective Social Contract of those who are too lazy to research what has been done to them or how to get out of following those laws, lawfully! Is your Signature on that law, so you can comment on it or change it? NO! So you have been duped over and over again to follow something that is not valid for you, because you are not a direct member of that contract.

People are so lazy that they consider politics as too complicated or unimportant that it doesn't concern them directly. What the people do not understand or comprehend is that they have accepted that law just by following one item listed within it, and so they are bound by that law until they finally realize it does not apply to them. Those laws only apply to those who are signed to that law (sponsors and cosponsors of that written law). Representatives mainly tell people they are not bound by the law but show no proof of that statement, because that would undermine their control over everyone. Representatives advise law enforcement to FORCE the lower classes of people to follow the law through word of mouth and interpretation. But if you read the law exactly as it is written, you would find a different meaning to that law. People are so lazy they will only listen to people who they consider authorities and interpret law in their own versons, and the people will follow that law as it is TOLD to them, not as they read it.

In order to counteract what has been perpetuated onto them, people MUST re-educate themselves in what the law is really saying, instead of taking someone's word as gospel. When you take the word of someone else as an authority, then you have agreed to become a slave to their whims and wishes, and do not have the ability or gumption to make a decision of your own and live by that decision. Freedom requires that you take total responsibility for what you say, think, or do 24/7. Otherwise you become the fodder for someone else to control you, and what you say, think, or do. You are nothing more than a SLAVE! You gave up your Freedom for some convenience of someone else deciding, for you, what you may do.

When you give up your Freedom for convenience of someone else making your decisions for you, then you have given your rights away and deserve to live under Communistic or Fascist rule, not law. You have agreed to become the Slaves to the ideology, that those Rulers have signed up to, and agreed to use against you, collectively.

Once you give up your rights, it then becomes a physical fight to regain them for your own use, and maybe you will lose your life for that fight, unless you possibly join forces together to make battle for those rights. Be prepared to take back those rights by force if need be, and of which belong to you exclusively, and defend them by any means available, to insure you never lose them again. This means, if you have to go into a personal war on a life or death situation over your rights, then prepare to win that battle at all costs, no matter who lives or dies. There can be no remorse for your decision in the end, only responsibility. If it is good for the individual, then it becomes good for the whole, when you help to defend the rights of others, even if they differ from your own, and they do not trespass on your own Social Contract. That is the only boundary. Your drawn up plan of action or Contract is your boundary, and everyone else must become aware of it through public exposure and exercise their own ability to understand it and honor it.

As long as you are explicit and well defined in all that you design in your plan of action, then you have done all that is needed to defend that plan of action or Contract from whatever source that tends to trespass on those boundaries, with no regrets and answer to no one else for your defense. Once there is trespass then your actions of self defense are justified, even through Nature which answers to no one else too. You have literally become one with Nature, when you design all that you are, and where you stand with a plan of action or Written Contract for yourself, in accordance with Nature.

Wizard of Oz Correlations

Hello Everyone:

I am writing this piece because I was asked to publish it so everyone would have an opportunity to understand what all of us WORLDWIDE are experiencing on a daily basis. Bankers, The Vatican, and Corporations really do not want any of this information to be released from someone who is fully aware of the ILLUSIONS being perpetrated by Governments all over the world.

The following is my interpretation of the subliminal information submitted way back in 1939 of the Wizard of Oz, of which everyone has been entertained with watching and not becoming aware of what Governments around the world have planned for all of us. Remember, that back in 1939 no one had any idea that any of this would be anywhere tangible as it is today. There have been interpretations that have come out on the Wizard of Oz in the recent past and I will add my extras to the end of those interpretations.

Here it goes!

The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz was produced as a motion picture in 1939 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. (Book by L. Frank Baum; Adaption by Noel Langley; Screenplay by Florence Ryerson, Noel Langley, and Edgar Allan Woolf; Lyrics by E. Y. Harburg; Produced by Mervyn LeRoy; Directed by Victor Fleming.)

Many people believe that The Wizard of Oz was (and is) an allegory for the radically new state of affairs that existed in America in the 1930s, following the stock market crash and the bankruptcy of the United States Government which occurred immediately thereafter. For all extents and purposes, it can still be viewed as the current state of affairs, inasmuch as the allegorical nature, the clues strewn throughout the story, are still relevant today. The authors of Redemption in Law, Theory and Practice [BBC of America, 2000] have, for example, provided an interesting interpretation of the story of The Wizard of Oz, one which bears a considerable amount of attention being paid. Much of what follows, comes from pages 180 to 185 of their book.

The initial setting of the story is, of course, Kansas, the geographical center of the USA, and the symbol for the heartland of America. The tornado (twister) that arrives is all about the whirling confusion that existed after the stock market crash, the theft of the country’s gold, the US Bankruptcy, and the Great Depression. The twister takes Dorothy and her dog, Toto, into a new, artificial dimension, above the solid ground of Kansas. Upon their arrival, Dorothy notes: “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

Right on, Dorothy. After the bankruptcy, Kansas was no longer “Kansas”, but now “KS”, an artificial corporate venue of the bankrupt US, a newly established “federal territory”, and part of the “Federal Zone”. Dorothy and Toto were “in this state”, which according to Redemption in Law, implies they were for tax jurisdiction purposes in the “District of Columbia” (aka “United States”) -- whereas Kansas is not included in “this state”, “KS” is.

One of the first entities Dorothy met was the Scarecrow, who represented the legal Straw Man which had been created as an artificial aspect of the former American sovereigns. The legal term, Straw Man, describes a fictitious or artificial person created by law at one’s birth via the inscription in all-capital letters on the birth document/certificate -- the latter being document of title and a negotiable instrument. It is allegedly by way of the Straw Man that the creditors of the US Bankruptcy can so effectively (and legally?) take for their own use the benefits of individuals’ labor, creativity, talents, and productivity.

In the movie the Scarecrow, describes his straw-man persona by noting: “Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking. Of course, I’m not bright about doing things.”

The Scarecrow then succinctly describes himself in the classic song, “If I Only Had a Brain.” The lyrics include: “I’d unravel every riddle, For every ‘individdle,’ In trouble or in pain.”

The translation is that for every individual, who discovers the existence of his or her legal Straw Man, all political and legal mysteries, complexities, and confusions begin to be resolved. And once that same individual takes legal title to his or her Straw Man, he or she can protect themselves from legal trouble or legal damage.

The Tin Man arrives next on the scene. I.e. the “T-I-N” (Taxpayer Identification Number) Man is a hollow man of metal, a “vessel” or “vehicle”, the newly created commercial code words for the Straw Man. Just as the Scarecrow/Straw Man has no brain, the Tin Man has no heart. Both are “artificial persons”. Natural persons are created by nature or God, while artificial persons are created by human laws, for the purposes of society/government (“bodies politic” or “corporations”).

One of the definitions in Webster’s Dictionary is “counterfeit”. Thus the Tin Man might also represent the mechanical and heartless aspect of commerce and commercial law. As they are reputed to say in the Mafia: “Nothing personal, it’s just business.”

The Tin Man also carries an ax. Did you ever wonder about that? The ax is a traditional symbol for that which is above a King. In this case, commercial law, i.e. Corporate Rule is above the sovereign! It’s not a nice connotation -- any more than the “Axis Powers” of World War II included Nazi Germany, Italy (a fascist state) and Japan; or the more recent “Axis of Evil”, coined by President George Bush in 2002, but curiously not yet applied to Cheney, Ashcroft and himself -- the ABC’s of such.

The Tin Man, expressing relief after Dorothy had oiled his arm, said: “I’ve held that ax up for ages.” And perhaps he is still having to do so. For the symbol for fascism is the “fasces”, a bundle of rods with an ax bound up in the middle, but with its blade projecting. This fasces may be found on the American Mercury-head Dime (the Roman deity Mercury was the God of Commerce), and on the wall behind, and on each side of, the speaker’s podium in the US Senate (each gold fasces being approximately six feet in height). At the base of the podium of the seal of the US Senate are two crossed fasces. Hmmmm...

Dorothy, the Scarecrow and Tin Man are soon joined by the Cowardly Lion. Known as the “king of the beasts”, it’s surprising to find one so cowardly. It appears to represent the once-fearless American people who had lost their courage, the courage to denounce the US Bankruptcy, and inform its creditors that they were not the chattel that could be used as collateral for the moneys allegedly owed. Of course, dealing with the IRS tends to leave most of us in the cowardly state; but that is due in large part to the heartless, brainless actions of an organization operating strictly under the laws of Commerce.

In order for Dorothy and the gang to find the Wizard (the supposed answer to their prayers), they had to “follow the yellow brick road.” In other words, follow the money -- the trail of the gold taken from America -- and find who had absconded with it.

It’s important to recall from the beginning of the movie, that the Wizard was represented by a traveling mystic, a “Professor Marvel,” whom Dorothy had first encountered when she ran away with Toto. The Professor’s shingle claimed that he was “Acclaimed by the Crowned Heads of Europe, Past, Present, and Future.”

That’s quite a claim -- to include the future -- but seems well justified in that the Wizard is still acclaimed by the “crowned heads of Europe.” Before the Banksters looted America, they had already disempowered the monarchies of Europe and looted their kingdoms. And with a human skull atop the perch above the door to his wagon, the Wizard began to lecture Dorothy about the priests of Isis and Osiris and the days of Egypt’s pharaohs.

Between 1916 and 1933, most of America’s gold was rounded up -- aided by President Franklin Roosevelt (whose physical problems may well have symbolized America’s “crippled state”). The gold went to The Federal Reserve private Bank, and was shipped off by the Fed owners to England and Germany. This was accomplished because of the fact Federal Reserve Notes could be redeemed in gold, and their use carried an interest penalty that could also only be paid in gold. The US traded its gold for paper, while its previous currency, United States Notes, carried no such interest requirement. When the US Bankruptcy was declared in 1933, there was the added caveat that all Americans were required to turn in all gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates by May 1 --

Our heroine was Dorothy Gale. Did you know her last name? Or that a gale, with the impact of water as well as wind, is considered potentially more powerful than a tornado? In any case, when she and her friends emerged from the forest, they were elated to see the Emerald City only a short distance away. The Wicked Witch of the West, desperate for the ruby slippers that Dorothy was wearing, knew she had to make her move before Dorothy and the others were inside the walls of Emerald City. But what was so special about Dorothy’s slippers? Was the Wicked Witch an earlier version of Emelda Marcus? Or something else?

Obviously, Dorothy’s red-colored, ruby slippers were the same color as blood, as in flesh and blood, thus symbolizing a living, breathing man or woman -- i.e. a non-corporation, a natural person. As such her slippers also symbolized “private” as opposed to “public”. (Even a Social In Security card uses a red serial number, signifying the private-side account and its attachment to the public-side.) It is likely the ruby slippers symbolized the blood in the veins of the American people -- as opposed to “citizens of the United States”, where the blue and black ink on a birth certificate is the “corporate blood”. The Wicked Witch wanted the life blood of the living human beings -- not just their Straw Men.

Her tactic was to cover the countryside with poppy flowers -- i.e. the source of heroin, opium, and morphine -- symbolically drugging Dorothy, et al into unconsciousness, and then just step in and snatch the slippers. I.e. dull the senses of the American people and then slip in and swipe the gold.

The drugging worked on Dorothy, the Lion and Toto, the flesh and blood friends, but did not effect the artificial persons of the Scarecrow and Tin Man. The latter two cried out for help, and the Good Witch of the North came to the rescue with a blanket of snow to nullify the narcotic effect of the poppies on Dorothy, the Lion and Toto. [So, who’s the “Good Witch of the North”? Perhaps, that remains to be seen.]

The identity of the Wicked Witch of the West is pretty clear. Recall that her counterpart in the first part of the film was “Almira Gulch”, who supposedly “owned half the county” (or perhaps half the country). Miss Gulch had arrived at Dorothy’s farm with an “Order from the Sheriff” (an Executive Order from President Roosevelt?) demanding that Toto be handed over, because allegedly he had bitten Miss Gulch.

Despite Aunt Em’s assertion about Toto (“He’s really gentle, with gentle people, that is.”) Miss Gulch pressed her case saying that to withhold Toto would be to “go against the law”. When Dorothy refused to surrender toto, Miss Gulch lashed out with, “If you don’t hand over that dog I’ll bring a damned suit that’ll take your whole farm!”

70% of the attorneys in the world reside in the West – America. 95% of all lawsuits in the world are filed under US jurisdiction. The Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Gulch) was dressed in black, the choice of color for judges’ robes. Thus she represents judges and attorneys, essentially the American legal system (including the attorney-run US Congress). These are the executioners and primary henchmen for transferring the wealth of America from the people to the banksters.

The “Bar” has a curious history. It represents the body of attorneys, counselors, judges and the members of the legal profession. It has been alleged that Black’s Law Dictionary, for example, is copyrighted British law and that the so-called American Bar Association is a branch or subset of the Bar Council (the sole bar association in England and Wales). As the copyrighted property of a British company, all state Codes in the US are commercial, private British-owned law. Attorneys may be even worse, if possible, than we thought!

Apparently, the Wicked Witch of the West is nothing more than an operative of the “crowned heads of Europe” (who are owned by the Banksters), and desperately wanted not only the precious metals of America, but the life blood of America’s labor. Her counterpart, of course, wanted to take Toto. The word, Toto, comes from the phrase, “in toto”, which according to Black’s Law Dictionary (the British “rule book”) is: “in the whole, completely.” In other words, she wanted everything!

Once Dorothy and the gang had encountered the mighty Wizard of Oz, they initially fell for the illusion. But with Toto’s aid in pulling back the curtain, they quickly realized the Wizard was nothing more than a con man. Even when he supposedly helped Scarecrow about getting a “brain”, he cited “the land of ‘E Pluribus Unum,’”, which is Latin for “one out of many.” This phrase appears on the American One Dollar Bill, but might be thought of as “converting the many into one”, i.e. establishing a “New World Order”.

The Wizard was also supposedly amenable to taking Dorothy back in his balloon, but ended up leaving her behind. Fortunately, the Good Witch of the North (Santa Claus?), stepped in to tell Dorothy, “You don’t need to be helped. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas.” All she had to do was to use her slippers!

The contention is that everyone has the right and power to reclaim their Sovereignty, but just forgot. The actual act of reclamation – the Remedy and Recourse, is telling the Banksters that you are no longer collateral, i.e. filing with a Secretary of State. Because the IRS (Infernal Revenue Service) is an accountancy firm and collection agency for the private Federal Reserve Bank, having been constituted under the UCC at its inception in 1954 (and operating strictly in that realm ever since), filing or not filing income tax returns becomes an interesting study in itself. Just be sure to do your own research!

The title of the movie also carries a message. A “wizard”, of course, is “a very clever or skillful person.” “Oz” on the other hand is an abbreviation for “ounces”, which is always the unit of measurement for gold, silver, and other precious metals. Even for large quantities of gold, etceteras, the amount is expressed in million ounces of gold, and not tons or pounds.

In the end, Dorothy (i.e. the American people) and Toto made it home. There is, in fact, Remedy and Recourse in law. It’s there, disguised, camouflaged, encoded. (Why do you think States call their statutory laws, “codes” and not laws?) It’s a matter of learning the law. All of it. It’s the necessary condition for becoming sovereign once again.

Unless, of course, you’d prefer to continue to be conned by the Banksters.

The Wizard of Oz is really a delightful movie. The fact that it symbolizes one of the worst episodes in the world’s history of the denial of freedom or justice, should not be construed to imply that the movie and story are not entertaining. In fact, once the symbolic nature is seen and understood, it is a simple step to smile, take the next step to go beyond it, and go forth as if you knew where you were going. It’s all just part of The Fool’s Journey, and the strange path we have each chosen to fulfill our diverse and unique destinies.

We always have that choice! It’s called Free Will.

Meanwhile, it is worth while recalling the sage advice of Lao Tzu (c. 600 B.C.E.) and more recently and succinctly in our Oz analogy, Frank Zappa (May 1977):

"The more prohibitions there are, the poorer the people will be."

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see a brick wall at the back of the theater."

(My Additions) :

If you recall, at the first of the movie and at the end of the movie, it was first shown in a Sepia source of color. This is associated with the ideology of seeing things in "Black and White" or seeing things as they really are. When the whirlwind releases the house, and it crashes down into the Land of Oz, it lands in the Land of the Munchkins. Munchkins are what many of us have referred to our children and early learners. When Dorothy (her name is Dorothy Gale and Gale is not her last name: it is the second part of her sovereign name) opens the door of the house for everyone to view, they are greeted with bright brilliant color. This color is represented as an illusion, "color of law" or even the ideology of diversion from truth.

The above scenario is the veil projected onto everyone as today's lively pursuit of happiness. We all continue as if this was always the way it was and should be in the future. The Witch of the North (personification of Nature?) arrives in Munchkin Land in a pink bubble as her normal mode of transportation. (could this be a view of kinetic transfer of energy?) The Munchkins present Dorothy with all types of gifts and celebration. It seems she is looked upon as the savior of all of their distress. When the Munchkins escorted Dorothy out of Munchkin Land, they all stopped at the border of that land, as that was as far as their protection of their society extended.

After meeting with the Scarecrow, who seemed to be a constant bumbler, Dorothy could be seen as helping to support or recognize the straw-man as her responsibility. Each time he stumbled Dorothy would grab hold of him and bring him back to his feet. The only thing the scarecrow was scared of was a lit match. Why? Because the scarecrow was made out of paper, straw and cloth and the cloth represented the container that all records are stored. If they are set afire, then all records are destroyed, and the Human being would be able to be enslaved with no records to defend themselves. Humans protect that paper trail, because they figure they need it, but it is also a trail that others in authority positions can keep track of that human being at any step they take.

Next was confronting the talking apple trees in the forest. It is a wonder that the scarecrow, without a brain, would know anything about good or bad apples, and recommended that Dorothy not partake of those apples, which are the representation of the refreshment of knowledge (remember that apples represent the ideology of knowledge or learning, whether good or bad), but he tricked the trees into pitching those good apples after them anyway. So the trees are teachers, who have the knowledge of producing good or bad intentions through their teachings. These teachers have the ability to pitch their ideas whether you want them or not. (I know: I have a mother who is a retired teacher)

The Tin-man not only represents the Taxpayer ID Number but also represents corporations, who use those T.I.N.'s for their own deduction uses. Corporations are totalitarian societies created on paper; are non-living entities, that think about themselves first, because of not having a heart or concern for its employees. The tin-man is personified as the working class also. The tin man also sang his song saying, if he had a heart he would show more compassion for others.

The next to be met was the cowardly lion, who would run at the sight of his own shadow or even the pinch of his own tail, which he done by himself. This is the representation of people not having self confidence in themselves and depending on others to making decisions for them. This is the general duped population, conditioned into believing that they need that direction in their lives, whereas they, as Kings of their castles or jungles, would rule their own lives, if they had the knowledge and courage. (this tidbit of knowledge is brought out by the Wizard towards the end of the movie with the award of the medal)

As Dorothy, Toto, and her 3 companions exited the forest and the poppy field, the music that then played, proclaimed that they had been awakened and to step into the light. The darkness proclaimed in the song is their being duped by others who took control of their lives and they were taking the opportunity to open their eyes to more than what they saw before. Now remember, this is all still in color, so it is still an illusion. In this color setting, you see the bright green color of OZ which tends to represent wealth. This is a city built with grand intentions of deception to all who reside or visit there.

Prior to being let into the City of Oz, Dorothy is recognized after stating they were all sent by the Good Witch or as being a human being, compared to the corporation, and this prompted the comment of "well, come on in, that's a horse of a different color". The comment of "a horse of a different color" represents the ideology of the individualization of each free thinking human being, and the entrepreneurship of those humans. In other words, one who does not need the direction from anyone else. But once in the city, the illusion of authority, by someone else, becomes readily apparent. The members are brought to a clean up place which is used to groom people for meeting with those in authority over them.

When the group arrives at the Wizard's door, they are met by a guardsman carrying a Kentucky long-rifle or musket, which represents the protection of those in authority. That guardsman is also the deterrent of their being able to freely enter into the chamber to meet with the Wizard. The guardsman is also the one who gives out the orders in proxy for the Wizard (much like the speakers for our own president at times). Cheney even barked out orders in the absence of the President, if you remember 9-11-01.

Upon presenting their wishes to the Wizard, they were shut off from completing their requests and being scared to continue forward without fear of the dread. In order for their wishes to be granted, our travelers had to prove their worth to that authority, before any action would be considered, so they were challenged to bring back the Wicked Witch's broom stick as proof of success. (much like the perfection of products to the public by a private member of society or corporation [Quality control?].) All this time, there is the issuance of force, coercion, and power from the hidden Wizard.

When the group arrive in the Witch's Forest, they are greeted by a sign that tells them to turn back and leave, if they knew what was best. They were harassed, kidnapped, and scattered by the enforcement team of the flying monkeys dressed in black and red, which has been the colors of the OWO (Old World Order; not the New World Order as everyone believes). On occasion there is depicted the symbol of the British Flag in the designs on the monkey's vests. Once Dorothy and Toto are kidnapped, Scarecrow was strewn to the winds or scattered all over the area he was attacked in, by those enforcement teams. (do you see how many members of enforcement pick on one entity at a time to take it down? compare this to the tactics used by our law enforcement of today) The colors of those depicted in 1939, coincide with many of the law enforcement of today, with their use of mainly black and some sections of red in their uniforms.

After Dorothy is forcefully taken into the castle, (which could be represented as the court system) as a prisoner to surrender her sovereignty (ruby slippers), it is found out by the wicked witch, that she (the witch or judge) has no power over the living, breathing, human being. So precautions are taken to coerce her to release those ruby slippers, or she dies, at which time the life force has no energy to protect that sovereignty. Dorothy is locked inside a room (or cell, as it seems) with an hourglass and sands sliding from top to bottom, and a large crystal ball. The hourglass with the red sands depicts life blood and time connected to the life energy we all contain. When the sands run out, so do our lives, and then our materialistic lives are then controlled by the probate courts. Our families have no control of the factors in what we leave behind, as our legacies. They receive only a small fraction of what materialistic entities we leave behind for them. Why? Because we are afraid to take full claim for those items.

Once Dorothy escapes from the room (of death? or cell?) by her friends and Toto, (by use of force) the scarecrow shows another avenue of thinking, by using the woodsman's axe to cut the cord holding the chandelier up in the air, to create a diversion for their escape again. Prior to this incident, the witch had prevented their escape from the castle by slamming the doors shut on them, making it a game in all essence, and then chasing them all around the castle for recapture. (does this remind you of the cat and mouse game?)

Once the group have been cornered, the witch begins playing her games with them. (is this much like the idea of the video games most kids and adults play to occupy themselves?) She uses her flaming broomstick to light up the scarecrow, and Dorothy uses a pail of water (truth and honesty?) to put out the flames and also to dissolve the witch. When Dorothy is proclaimed as a hero, by the law enforcement crew of the castle, Dorothy asks to take the broomstick and is granted it. When Dorothy takes possession of the stick she holds it much the same as the Pope holds his staff when he presents himself to the crowds, and at the top of the stick or staff, you can see an inverted pine cone embedded there, much like the staff held by the Pope.

Once they have arrived back at Oz, Dorothy presents the staff to the Wizard, and proclaims that they melted the witch. The Wizard's comment following is "Oh, so you liquidated her, did you?" This brings to mind the liquidation of assets and money. (remember the Witch is green in color: about the same color as money, so she could have been representative of the Vatican and its riches, the Banks, and money itself, and through the courts themselves?)

Upon the time of departure from the land of Oz, Toto is diverted from leaving, by the all insistent meowing of a Siamese cat being held by a head-shrouded lady in green (also money related?). Dorothy misses her boat, so to speak, by this incident. All of her friends she had met along the way are made honorary wizards, by the former Wizard, and the people of Oz are admonished to follow their leads. The wizard in the meantime, following on his departure, can not control the actions of his hot-air balloon due to his incompetency.

Eventually the Good Witch shows on the scene, when Dorothy is distraught with not being able to go home. The Good Witch (Glinda) advises her, that she could have gone home on her own and had the power to do that, but had to learn how to do it. When Dorothy was asked what she had learned, her reply was:

" it wasn't enough to want to see her friends at home, but that if she ever wanted to pursue her heart's desires, and it was not in her backyard, then she needn't have looked any further, because she had never lost it in the first place".

What this says is, that if what you desire can not be done or made by you, then you didn't need it in the first place, and it wasn't to be yours in the long run. Dorothy clicked her heels 3 times in order to start the procedure for her to go home, and this is represented by the seemingly 3 day rule of the lemon law, to return defective items, and to break contracts. So you must take responsibility for your own life and conduct it in the way that you see fit. There is No Place Like Home!

I hope this gave you a little better insight of what the Wizard of Oz message may have been or could be for all of society!
