People cannot say that they did not receive Notice.
Notice is given sometimes by books or movies such as the "Wizard of Oz" (1939), "The Matrix" (1998),
"'V' for Vendetta," (March 17, 2006) and "The Truman Show" (1998) staring Jim Carrey whereby
Truman (Carrey)discovers the Truth and finds a way out of the corporation that intended to take
care of all his needs from cradle to grave in exchange for his life in the fiction world.
Herein lies a study of the "Wizard of Oz" in which Notice was given and remains current even to this day. The following is from the Library of Halexandria : The Wizard of Oz was produced as a motion picture in 1939 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. (Book
by L. Frank Baum; Adaption by Noel 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, 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 “ 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 person 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 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 Between 1916 and 1933, most of 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 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 InSecurity 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 -- 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 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 of 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 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." |
