Wonder if there is any writing by Frank L. Baum where he, in is own words is indicating that the Wizard of Oz is an allegory of mankind's struggle vs banking cartel.
There are many that write to suggest that Tolkien's LoTR was an allegorical story representing the evils of political power, and here we have Tolkien say as much:
"You can make the Ring into an allegory of our own time, if you like: and allegory of the inevitable fate that waits for all attempts to defeat evil power by power" (The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, 1995, p. 121.)
When I read a letter of Baum's where by his own words he says that Wiz of Oz is an allegory of man's relationship to the banking cartel, I will much more likely believe what his video claims.
Look into it and tell us what you find. When I did over 20 years ago what I found were several comments he made verbally and in writing saying this was not about the banking cartels. At the time I found that hard to believe because it all 'fit' so nicely together but, according to his own words, his story of oz had nothing to do with any of it.
iirc the same could be said about dark side of the moon when played alongside the wizard of Oz, if is eerie how well it fits but several members of pink floyd denied it had anything to do with the track length and placement on the album.
We had several parties in the 90's where this phenomenon was The Feature of the night.
The sync has to be perfect: Load Pink Floyd CD. Press PlayPause so the CD is paused and ready to go. Load the movie. Press Play. The MGM Lion roars 3 times at the start of the movie. You un-Pause the music at the third roar. Mute the movie. Grab beer. Album ends well before the movie ends. The cool stuff occurs during the B&W segment, goes into the colorized segment a bit. Somewhere I have a printout of all the syncs, there's a dozen or so? At the time, it was pretty damn cool, but AI today makes it seem a bit lame by comparison. Still remarkable though.
