I said I wasn't gonna do an episode this week, but I can't help myself. and out of 8 Q&A questions, I made it through precisely one, lol. looks like Q&A will definitely be on a rolling basis.

today we talk about the coin shortage and the elimination of cash. right off the bat, we talk about the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset, then the function cash plays in the underground economy. from there, we go into the Free Silver movement and its war against the nefarious gold standard, including William Jennings Bryan. From the Free Silver movement, we go into L. Frank Baum and his Wizard of Oz as metaphor for the Silver vs. Gold debates of the time, and then we explore the theosophical underpinnings of Oz.

from there, things really come off the rails, and we discuss some of the more esoteric Oz movies, including the demented Return to Oz, and then wrap it up with a discussion of Dr. William Joseph Bryan, the hypnotist.
