This video should have 5M views.....the historical currency content is pricele$$

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain pulling levers (the FED)

WOW!!! This video was just such an enjoyment! Stacking videos have been getting so repetitive and bland but this was GREAT! I can't wait to watch it again after work.

I learned about this decades ago from my high school advanced history class. L Frank Baum lived in a time in American history when there were recessions all the time, so for him to write a children's book, the current economic events of the day being allegorically inserted in the story was a stroke of his genius.

I've been stacking since my eyes were opened in late 2008. As much power, effort and illusion that have gone into keeping silver out of the hands of the people, even I have trouble imagining the magnitude of how amazing it would be (and how high silver's purchasing power would be) if everyone in the world went back to transacting in scarce, real money again.

The US was not bimetalist to begin with. It was purely a silver monetary system. But eventually they wanted a bigger denomination coin for large transactions and it would have been cumbersome to carry around a silver coin that was 10x bigger. So they made it out of gold, inadvertently creating a bimetal system which are always doomed because when the ratio of the price of the metals fluctuate arbitrators will exchange the lower price one for the higher one and sell it to other countries causing a currency shortage.

Most people have no clue about all this. They just think it's a movie.

Excuse me wnile I watch this again!

Campbell's Coins this video is definitely not BS it is informative. What I find valuable is the Ruby shoes 👞 it basically means it is silver as she finds walking 🚶‍♂️ down the Golden path in helping others.

Honestly a quad metal system would suit all our needs. Lowest, copper, then silver gold and platinum you could even throw tin/aluminum/ nickel in the mix.

Heard of all this about 10 yrs ago. But this is by far the best video on it I've seen. Now if I can just figure out the connections between Dorothy and Pinocheo.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (money printer goes brrrrrr )

Nice to see good old JP Morgen still at it. Just paid over 900 million in a silver rigging suit.

I love coming back to this one.

MIND. BLOWN.

It makes perfect sense. Money is gold and silver. The yellow brick road is a road that could mean, that it was made of gold. We also say, just follow the money. In the end, the wizard of Oz was manipulating everything that was going on in Oz. Oz can be the federal reserve. The wizard is the chairman. ALL FAIRYTALES HAVE SOME INCEPTIONS IN FACTS!

That's really Wild, but makes sense.😲👍

I’ve heard all of this before. It’s a very interesting take on a classic story. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks CC

Man. That was Awesome. I had to watch it twice.

best silver video I have seen so far

all classic books have a n occult meaning . . ... .

I watch a documentary on the Great Depression, and they mentioned it. But that's the way it's always been. Every form of entertainment exists to deliver messages.

I love this topic and the movies and the differences with the book…and YES the Dark Side of Oz is a MUST MUST SEE! Great job dude 🤙

What's funny is when I first looked at the title of the video I said to myself I remember someone talking about this before. Funny thing it was you 🤷‍♂️

Take note that Hollywood in 1939 changed Dorthey's Silver Slippers to Ruby "Communist" RED.

Super cool video. I think the most interesting aspect of the free silver movement was that they promoted a ratio of 16 to 1 instead of the value on the open market. Which was more like 32. If not for that one mistake we might still be on a bimetallic standard. I think it’s also interesting that silverights that is the followers of William Jennings Bryan we’re actually inflationist. Again thanks for the great video

Man I enjoyed this story. Until now, my interest in the Wizard of Oz was to see the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man get their rewards. I would of never thought that an old childhood movie that I enjoyed watching and my recent enthusiasm for coin collecting would cross paths on the Yellow Brick Road. 😊 Thanks a bunch. 👊🏽

Enjoyed the whole allegory explanation. Especially the end scene where it occurred to me... the last time I heard that song... watching the intro to the apprentice! I miss that guy.

Loved it! Thank you

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting! I love this!

Beautiful really enjoyed that.... OZ...... Love it

Awesome stuff as usual

Wow. This was fascinating. Thank you!

Wow! That was VERY interesting! Thank you.

This is an amazing video thank you so much

Kool! Truly that was deep. Information worth sharing. Thank you

Nice one for sure . Thank you.

Great video MAN !!

WoW!! good information, and thanks for sharing.

That was really cool.

Just remember what the guards were singing, "All we own, we owe" That was the state of affairs back then being slaves for rich overlords. Now, it is more true than ever...

Very well put together video more detailed then other video's i seen on this topic 👍

Dude, that was a great video. I'm totally gonna start looking into this for myself.

Omg 😲 amazing, just subscribed 👏👍

I love this video. Being Bricktown from Kansas I say everything is B S. Thanks for making my day!

Incredible video! Great Job! Thank you for doing this video! Well worth the weight (LOL)!! This is the best video I have seen on gold and silver influences on society!

Allegory A story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. I had to look that one up lol 😆

This is one of the most interesting things I have ever heard! Kudos to you!

Great video and factually correct. Very well done!

I did, years ago. It let me down a rabbit hole. But a great refresher and I picked up something else I didn't know. Awesome video!

Great!!

Read the road to roota comic put out by the fed. It talks about going to a silver and gold system after this fiat system collapses,just about there now

Amazing!

Wow, thanks!

Wow! I never knew this about the film!

Saved this video. Excellent

Excellence at it best 👌

Great video. I learned a lot on Gold, Silver and my favorite movie the Wizard of Oz by just watching this video. I never connected the dots that gold and silver played a part in the Wizard of Oz Movie. Weather it be the yellow brick road. the ruby slippers that were supposed to be silver or the lion representing William Jennings Bryan. Makes me want to go watch the movie again. If I can find the dvd.

That was cool

Great explanation on the 1873 law. It helps understanding how all this fits in today

I liked this video so MUCH … I watched 3 Pink Floyd “Oz” videos tonite 😅

Ozzy Osbourne is “fed up” with America. The legendary heavy metal singer has revealed that he and his family are moving from Los Angeles back to his native England because of ongoing mass shootings in the United States. “Everything's f-ing ridiculous there. I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. - August 29, 2022

Yup, it’s quite enlightening isn’t it? Great explanations brotha.

This Is awsome

Cheers

I've done The Dark Side of the Rainbow. It's freaky how the album and movie line up.

Congress’s dereliction of duty in regulating coinage saw unstable monetary supply and economic distortions, and were used to justify the demonetization of silver and ultimately the big bad central banking syndicate.

I heard about this years ago.. Silver slippers?

Did you notice that the red brick road (debt) doesn't lead to anywhere?

Cool

Did frank ever say any of this? Also we had radio then and video, why is there no film or even a radio interview of frank, I'd like to read or hear him talk. Frank didn't name Oz for ounce, it was because while trying to find a title for his book, he spotted his file cabinet that read O-Z. But the movie was made before the pink floyd so I don't know how it connects just because it has a rainbow on the cover. Even members themselves have said there was no connection of oz to the album. Heard it was actually based on the sound of music according to wiki.

But of course the scene with the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda does not happen in the book at all. It is not until Dorothy is brought to her castle to be made a servant that the Wicked Witch even knows about the Silver Shoes ("She looked down at Dorothy’s feet, and seeing the Silver Shoes, began to tremble with fear, for she knew what a powerful charm belonged to them.") . So this "powerful statement" is entirely a film invention, and involves the film's ruby slippers, not Silver Shoes. This is typical of such theories, where everything is fit into the procrustean bed of the theory, regardless of the facts. One is reminded of Mark Twain's line in Life on the Mississippi: There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. Frankly (pun intended), even Littlefield's seminal article on the 'Populist Parable' did not argue that Baum _wrote_ the book as an allegory; Littlefield's intent (like yours) was to dramatize for his high school students what is often a tedious subject, bimetalism and populism. This is why the 'allegory' can only include such vague generalizations as 'Dorothy represents the solid American farmers. Oh yes, and the Scarecrow represents farmers too.' 'Yellow brick road (never called that in the book; it is the road of yellow bricks, or road paved with yellow bricks)? Oh, that's the gold standard. Because it's yellow. Baum could have made them gold bricks, but that would have been too obvious. Like the Silver Shoes.' And most importantly, perhaps, even in the years 1900-1910, when every parent reading the book to the 'kiddies' (as the publishers called them), and every newspaper editor and writer, was fully conversant with the important political issues of the time (more deeply familiar, indeed, than you or Littlefield or anyone else now living), and when The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was a tremendous best-seller and a hit Broadway musical (the first mention, by the way, of Dorothy Gale's family name: "This Dorothy Gale, of the Kansas Gales." "Oh, that accounts for her breezy manner." No sophisticated humor here), NO ONE, not one newspaper editorial, nor article, nor letter to the editor, nor review, nor editorial cartoon, nor even Baum's 1919 obituaries, ever noticed this allegory. It took sixty years before Littlefield came up with it, and by his own admission, it was a pedagogical contrivance. In effect, the idea that The Wizard of Oz was written as some kind of encoded political allegory has become urban folklore. There is no actual evidence for this; an allegorical 'reading' of the book tells more about the reader than the book or the author. But we live in an age when 'the death of the author' has some critical currency (pun intended again). There are pictures in clouds too, but they are put there by the observer.

Interesting video and while I feel like I should have known this, I didn’t. So what about the flying monkeys? Any thoughts what they represent? The IRS?

Bimetallic standards dont work because u cannot fix the exchange rate between gold and silver as grshams law collapses the system. Monetary systems always goto gold because it is starable not like silver

Mind=blown.

Do you know if any of the pink floyd lyrics go with or elude to the relationship of coins/money and Wizard of Oz??? Great 👍 Vid

what is that 10 ounce silver bat? which mint made it?

at 9:25 ... is that a coin? i'd truly like more info on this one!! cheers!

Even the Hebrew Bible prefers silver as the currency over gold. It was Babylon and king Solomon who valued gold.

Hey everyone. I just discovered I'm Bi! I am waiting for all the adulation and congratulations to flood in. Thank you, thank you.

Today Fed Jeremo Powell Bank/Finans has the power to keep gold silver belowe ATHs for the rest of my life 1968, manipulasjon will never stopp, not only for PM but also $ Bitcoin Oil and Stockmarked

I loved that silver to rescue prosperity pic. This is why punkass J.P Morgan Bank suppresses the shit out silver.

all is written .. who has eyes see who has ears hears . . .. . . . ... we look we hear and we didnt knew anything from the beggining of civilization.... same with Pinokio freemasonery book and Alice in WUnderland . .. . . . The Economist cover from September 2021 . . .. . .

COLD HARD CASH WHAT WAS THE WORLDS LONGEST RUNNING RESERVE CURRENCY THE ENGLISH POUND A ENGLISH POUND OF SILVER WAS A POUND, A POUND TODAY BUYS YOU 1/20 th of a oz of silver wake up

#crimeof1873 Honest money was destroyed when silver was demonetized.

Way off base.

Fun video but....yea....no.

it was an interesting academic idea. but it has no basis in reality.

Utter pish

Cool
