In the film The Secret of Oz, a brief summary is given of the United States’ most famous and frequently adapted story, The Wizard of Oz. It is a symbolic story about America’s struggle for control over its own money and for the preservation of silver as money, the so-called bimetallic standard, with the two metals, silver and gold, serving as money, a system that had functioned reasonably well for thousands of years. The Great Silver Conspiracy paved the way for today’s fake money system.
The great conspiracy against silver and gold began with the founding of the Bank of England as a private bank in 1694. That was where the practice of lending out money that the bank did not actually have began. At that time, gold, together with silver, served as money. To pave the way for today’s fake money system, fiat money currency, the hidden powers first began conspiring against silver as early as the eighteenth century. Throughout the world, silver was increasingly marginalized as money. In the United States, this reached its peak during the mid-nineteenth century. When silver was suddenly no longer allowed to serve as money, despite making up about half of the money in circulation, it is easy to calculate that the economy of a country will run into problems. If you have too little money in relation to GDP, you get deflation. This led to a deep economic crisis in the United States, as described in the film. Gold alone as money was therefore something highly negative. This is important for everyone who advocates the gold standard to know. In the United States, people starved after the pure gold standard had been introduced. The entire U.S. election campaign of 1896 revolved around this issue and culminated in William Jennings Bryan’s famous Cross of Gold speech.
William Jennings Bryan, an American politician of the late nineteenth century, wanted silver restored as money in order to save millions of Americans from starvation and poverty.
After the conspiracy against silver came the conspiracy against gold. Right on schedule in the summer of 1914, almost all countries abandoned the gold standard in order to transition to today’s criminal fiat money system, in which private banks create money out of thin air. This became necessary in order to finance the Second World War. Otherwise, it would already have ended by Christmas 1914, because if the gold standard had been maintained, there would no longer have been enough money to buy new weapons.
