Daniel Liszt and Olivia dissect The Wizard of Oz as a Theosophical allegory linking Frank Baum, Edgar Cayce, and Noel Langley to secret societies. They connect the Emerald City to Coronado's defense contractors developing directed energy weapons while alleging UFO assassins and Pleiadian blacksmiths operate globally. The discussion expands to MKUltra, digital entrainment via Candy Crush, and government secrecy regarding Venusian aliens, ultimately framing current political struggles as battles against spiritual materialism and institutional control.

Eastern And Western Paths00:10:41
And we are live.
This is Dark Journalists.
What a great crowd we have out there tonight already.
Of course, I'm joined by the lovely Olivia.
Hi, everybody.
And Olivia, I guess we have breaking news with Justice, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
So it's official now.
It's official.
Yeah.
Who knows when she actually died?
But at least now they're reporting that she has died.
Wow.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Well, it's true that this has been the rumor for a while.
And we know that she was on her last legs there.
And there was talk about this, but it's a very interesting development just two months out of the election, or even less, more like six weeks.
And well, it's interesting.
I got to see her speak once at Columbia University, and it was unusual.
I remember John Roberts had been there the day before.
And so it was like this whole hubbub going on.
And, you know, so she certainly got her message across.
I have to say that it leaves.
Room on that Supreme Court for some interesting new developments.
But it's pretty wild.
It's pretty wild for sure.
Tonight we have the X Series episode 97.
And this is going to be, I know this number is getting close to 100, and you know what 100 means.
But what's happening is tonight we're going to get into The Wizard of Oz and the deep mystery school piece that goes along with it.
And also take a real look at the esoteric roots of.
The Wizard of Oz, beyond the story, which we all know and love so well, to some of the archetypes and what they're informing in terms of taking on, you know, at that point, 1939, it's just before World War II hits.
And we're going to talk about the author Frank Baum, who really was writing in this period around the turn of the century and wrote it essentially in 1900.
So it took about almost 40 years to get it made.
And when it got made, it had some, a lot of those invisible.
Hands and visible helpers along the way.
And we're going to get very deep into that.
And we're going to see people popping up like Madame Blavatsky and like Edgar Cayce all along the way in the development of this very incredible story.
And we're also going to reveal some things here about Coronado, which is a very interesting location in California, right across from the San Diego Bay there.
And it has of late become the real fancy of.
A lot of defense contractors, but it's got a very rich esoteric history of these mystery school groups growing kind of small communes, groups of like minded people.
And when we look at that, Coronado is going to be a very interesting addition to what we've looked at other communities that came out of the Theosophical movement, like Halcyon, for example.
And that group spawned so many interesting players, like Henry Wallace, who was going to be.
Who was vice president for FDR but was going to be president instead of Truman?
He was going to be basically President X.
He carried the whole mystery school tradition and he got inched out by Truman, which is something I think that Truman didn't even want, interestingly enough.
So there's a lot there in the development of Theosophical principles and the Theosophical Society bringing this out.
And when we look at Helena Blavatsky, we're going to see her as a transformative character that shows up really in the public eye in 1875, even though she's around before.
For them, and starts the Theosophical Society.
This is going to be crucial because without the Theosophical Society, which she starts with Emma Britton, who she called the finest medium that she ever knew.
This is a very big compliment coming from Blavatsky, who didn't hand out compliments very much at all.
She was inclined to do just the opposite.
And eventually they would part company because Emma was much more into this kind of version of Western esoteric tradition.
She's the Western mystery school tradition.
Blavatsky started with both Western and Eastern.
And started to move Eastern when the things that she was doing came to the notice of so many different groups and schools that were threatened by her.
And, you know, so it's very interesting when we get to the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy shows up in Oz, one of the first things she starts to say is, you know, what's going on here?
And the good witch shows up in an orb and says, Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
And Dorothy says, I'm not a witch at all.
And this is a very key question because.
In Dorothy's mind, witches are just very evil people.
And so when the good witch says, Are you a good one or a bad one? she instantly brings out the theosophical tradition of people who work with esoteric principles aren't evil.
This is the thing that you have a good school, and it's never as black and white as that, but you have this kind of great white brotherhood version of the mystery schools, and then you have the brotherhood of the shadow, the brotherhood and sisterhood of the shadow there.
So showing that there's a right hand and a left hand path to those schools.
So, when you're looking at very deep mystery traditions like the Essenes that set up Christianity, essentially, you get other versions of secret societies who carry on with certain magical principles.
And they might be dedicated to very dark political agendas, for example.
So, you get to be able to sort between the mystery schools and the secret societies who do that.
But all throughout The Wizard of Oz, it's an unconscious course as well.
You're getting all this in your unconscious about how to sort.
Between these things.
And we're going to get into that tonight.
We're going to get into it through the figure of Frank Baum.
And Baum was somebody who I think was led very strongly by his intuition.
And he comes off as very psychic early on in all of these different things that he did.
And he's an actor, first of all.
This is how he starts on his journey.
And he also has a propensity for fire, which is, fires seem to follow him around.
And we see so much strange fire in The Wizard of Oz with the Scarecrow.
Getting burned several times by the wicked witch.
That's fascinating.
He also had dreams about scarecrows chasing him when he was younger.
So the fact that the scarecrow shows up as this very beneficial, beneficent character is quite fascinating.
Yeah, well, didn't fire follow around Edgar Cayce also?
Yes.
Well, this is interesting because Cayce was a photographer.
And this is what people don't understand a lot about Cayce, which is that he didn't go out there and say, I'm psychic, you know, like he tried to.
Get out of it a lot of the time.
So he was a very popular photographer.
I found out recently, and I didn't know this, that he had taken pictures of Teddy Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan when they came through on Whistle Stop tours and things like that.
So a lot of big wheels there in his portfolio.
But I would say this about Casey that whenever he went into this direction of sort of away from his psychic work and being a professional photographer, his studios would always burn down.
And this is a weird principle that if you don't use the thing, the gift, then these other things come in to kind of force you, in a sense, or to guide you back to what you're supposed to be doing.
And we see that very many times with people who have these incredible gifts, and they just need that little extra push to get them back in the right direction.
Now, one of the things I want to say about Casey that's interesting is because of his psychic ability, and he comes up quite a bit around The Wizard of Oz.
As a matter of fact, one of the TKOs I'm going to start off with for tonight is that Casey gave readings to over 40 individuals associated with producing The Wizard of Oz.
So, in a sense, that source behind Casey is really encouraging this project to get it out to the world.
And I almost wanted to start this episode with a question, which is what if a mystery school had actually spent time and money and all of this kind of resources to get this movie made?
And what if we can look and see that the mystery schools were creating productions in order to get that culture to move?
We know they were trying it another way.
That they were trying to move the culture to accept spiritual principles, all the way back to the Fox sisters and all the rest.
So, we have a period there that's described by Rudolf Steiner as the effort by the mystery schools to counterbalance scientific materialism.
So, he had a kind of a front row seat to this, he was right in the middle of it.
And what he was saying is if you look back there, right around 1840, they had made this decision.
Because of the scientific materialism, which was largely coming out of Germany at the time, but it was invading all scientific thought.
And the scientific materialism is just a very small window into scientific thought.
But it's that, you know, if you can't measure it, it doesn't exist, which becomes an absurdity when you consider the things that we're finding out.
But this is what's really taken over.
And it's the idea of kind of separating anything spiritual from scientific study.
So it's very dangerous in that sense.
And Steiner's Rendition of this was that basically what had happened is the mystery school said, Yes, we're keeping these secrets, we're preserving these traditions, and we're helping society along.
However, that thing is like a runaway train.
And in 100 years, we're not going to recognize these people and they won't know anything about their spirituality.
We have to let this stuff out.
That's where we get the Theosophical Society, which becomes kind of the trade off after they've tried a few things and they decide, You know what?
We're going to let reincarnation out.
We're going to let psychic doctrine out.
We're going to let all these Eastern secrets out.
And we're going to do it through the figure of Helena Blavatsky.
So, when we get into Blavatsky, one of the things we're going to get into tonight is how theosophy informs so much literature.
Helena Blavatsky Revealed00:11:04
But The Wizard of Oz is really its kind of crowning achievement in that sense, because Baum was someone who was a real seeker and was not satisfied with traditional religion, but he was Christian.
So, he just didn't.
The church seemed constricting to him, and he was a seeker outside of it.
And in one of his own essays, this is before he writes The Wizard of Oz, he writes a very interesting quote because he's a newspaper writer, he does book reviews, he's really very active in a lot of different sects.
And I have to say that one of the things that he did when he was setting himself up is he failed a lot.
This is a guy who.
Was not really out of the gate successful.
He went through a lot of things.
One of the interesting things about Baum is that, you know, we're talking about his penchant for fire, and this just happened off of him, as we were describing it with Casey also.
But with Baum, he writes a play called Match.
And the theater.
And is the reference an actual match?
Yes.
Okay.
And the theater goes up in flames.
Oh, dear.
So this is really kind of an interesting thing with him.
But these are the incredible successes that he would have later.
By the time we hit the early 1900s, he's a very popular children's author and a very deep, deep thinker.
This is somebody who felt that in the child's imagination, if it could be, you know, he felt too many of the adventure stories and fairy tales were full of violence and all these other things.
And then if we could reach the subconscious of the children, they could kind of, you know, create a better, more spiritual society.
And he worked along these principles.
This is somebody who I think is a very deep, A publicly proven track record with the mystery schools and the public mystery school of Theosophy in particular.
But there's even more as we look at it.
One of the things I want to point out is you know, he wrote books, but he also spent his money on production.
So he got a lot of money for The Wizard of Oz.
What did he do?
He bankrolled all these musicals trying to get the same type of thing going.
And some of them really bombed out.
And people had a tendency to take advantage of it.
One of the things he did with his money is when he was living in this.
He moved around a lot, South Dakota, Chicago, and then Coronado.
And when he was in South Dakota, he started a credit thing where people could come to his store and take credit and do all these things.
And the people were taking the credit and not paying him back, and he was going broke.
So, you know, we get the kind of feeling of this person who's not so concerned with material life, and he is really concerned with bringing out this bigger vision.
So, one of the things we see in his early Wizard of Oz, this is from 1904, that's a play production.
But really, you can see his knowledge of these wisdom traditions right off the bat.
Because if you turn this Tin Man upside down, we can see very clearly that's the Hanged Man.
It certainly is.
And what everybody is talking about in the chat already is the Hanged Midget.
Yes.
Isn't that interesting?
That's quite a theme.
That is the tarot card for the Hanged Man out of the traditional Rider Weight deck.
And so clearly, Baum is trying to integrate some of this imagery very early on.
This is 1904.
He also will be responsible for other novels.
He wrote, for example, The Master Key.
And The Master Key is so deep in its symbolism.
You know, there's an inventor in it, and he comes to this guy.
You know, the spirit comes to this guy, and it's kind of like a demonic spirit that says, I can give you anything.
You know, you can produce anything.
And he's almost like 21st century technology saying, I can give you anything.
What happens is the inventor takes this very different kind of version of this, and he says he kind of develops the Theosophical line, which was that society is not ready for certain types of technology.
They will abuse them, and Theosophy will turn out to be right.
Just a couple of decades later, everyone's bombing each other from the air, and by 1945, they dropped the bomb.
So there's this theme, though, in the Master Key about advanced technology and how we can use it if we are able to.
Move the culture forward.
So he was right there with it.
And in the master key, he presages so much.
You know, there's something that seems like the internet, there's mobile phones, and he's quite a futurist in his own right.
And I think that comes from this deep spiritual connection with the Theosophical Society, who we'll see and who I've shown on this program before, were really plugged into advanced technology and through people like Tesla and Edison, who were both members.
But they had a kind of a moral center about the whole thing.
They didn't want to just come out with the biggest new thing on technology, they wanted to make sure that people were using it, were responsible.
And wouldn't be harvesting the people underneath.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
This is X Series 97.
We're going deep, deep on The Wizard of Oz and the mystery school associated with The Wizard of Oz and Coronado and the Theosophical kind of key in all of this.
We're going to be taking your questions in the second part of the program.
So, Ms. Olivia is going to put those together.
What's the vibe like out there?
Very good.
I have to say, my voice is a little scratchy tonight.
I'm sorry.
Oh, you sound great.
So, okay.
I'm just trying to keep it.
Lubricated.
Yeah, it is.
You know, it's around here, it's kind of cold for this time of year.
And it's got that vibe out there.
It's like too fast.
It's already dropped below 60 today, which is ridiculous.
Think about it.
We'll try not to have any of those Frank Bomb fires.
Think about it.
Yeah, don't even say it.
All right, let's start with this.
I know it makes you look at the Wizard of Oz totally differently.
Every time fire comes up, it's like.
It's quite fast.
We've had enough fires lately, you know, in this country.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I think what's happening when we look at this, we're trying to look over his life and get what fire as a symbol is, you know, for sure.
Now, one of the things we're doing with Baum is we're going to see that he was in ancient Egypt.
And he was there for six months with his wife, Maude, whose mother was a very influential suffragist.
And she also was a major member of the Theosophical Society.
And while they say, well, this is how he discovered theosophy, there's a lot of inconsistencies in Frank Baum's biography that I have found to be untrue.
And he didn't discover it through her mother because he was already writing about it in newspaper articles before he met the mother.
So there's something to be worked on there.
But you can see him being in Egypt and spending not just a casual couple of weeks or whatever, he's there for six months.
He's digging deep on a story.
The mystery school ties with Baum become a little more obvious there.
Here's another shot of him actually as an actor.
And this is before The Wizard of Oz or anything.
That is the kind of actor trying to get out of the gate before he realizes, you know what, I'm going to write this stuff.
I'm not going to try to act it out.
And he will, in fact, and a lot of people really don't know this about Baum, he's going to be somebody who creates movie productions.
And he's somebody who's also going to.
Create musicals.
So, beyond just the books and his incredible popularity with children, he is also somebody who is looking at being kind of a multimedia show.
And we're going to find out that he started his own movie studio, which produced several very interesting silent movies around the Wizard of Oz theme.
And you're going to find the producer out on this program.
I've never heard this before.
So, it's a TKO early in the round, Thomas Edison.
As producer of Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz early movies, silent movies, before the main classic comes out in 1939, everyone wanted to point out to you that his legs are in the same position as The Hanged Man.
Oh, that's true, very true.
If only we could, we have to get a close up on the book that she has there too, because I'm sure those are interesting.
She's a very interesting lady, his wife, and he would, you know, he went through a lot with her.
In putting out the books, he felt like she was somebody who was very no nonsense and would say, like, you know, you're going in the wrong direction or that kind of thing.
She was very frank about it all.
And I have to say that I think when we're looking at somebody like Baum, we're getting this again, just like when we studied the Orphic Circle.
And if you look at those episodes, the groups around the influencers and the influencers of the time, Charles Dickens, Bulwer Lytton, all this kind of 19th century, Work that would put us in a different headspace in regards to the future and plug in so much of the spiritual aspects.
And Blavatsky falls into that category also.
She's not writing fiction, but she's so influential in terms of getting us out of just traditional 19th century thought.
You know, these people are sparking us into different areas, even when they're using very commercial or very known methods, like Mark Twain in his work.
He's putting us in a different headspace about it.
And that's probably one of the reasons he was such good friends with Nikola Tesla, if you think about it.
And they were fantastic friends, seemingly coming from two very different sides of the spectrum.
But, you know, both wanting to have that thing again of moving the culture forward.
Where is the culture failing?
And this is, there's so much of what we need right now is the same kind of push from the intelligentsia, you know, from people around journalism, from people around entertainment.
They need to kind of get out of the gutter and they need to inform the culture and bring it up, even at great risk to themselves, even if they get thrown off.
Platforms, even if they get, you know, just completely insulted by their colleagues, they need to take a stand and create a better environment for creative work.
There's no doubt about it.
And I think these people early on made that stand.
The Master Key Weaponry00:02:20
Okay, a quick picture of the Master Key.
And I want to plug the Master Key in because it comes out a couple of years, literally a year and a half after The Wizard of Oz.
I see it as closely related.
But the Oz books became so famous, it's kind of like.
A musician who goes out on stage and has these hit songs, and everyone in the audience says, You know, sing that great classic you have, you know, sing Rebel Rubble.
We don't want to hear low or whatever you're doing.
So, you know, it's giving them what they want, and he has to kind of move in that direction more later.
But before he gets there, here we go The Master Key, an electric fairy tale.
1901, that's pretty good.
A little bit about The Master Key.
Founded upon the mysteries of electricity and the optimism of its devotees, something like that.
Protagonist is a boy named Rob Jocelyn.
His age is not specified.
Rob is an electrical experimenter whose father encourages him and sees that he never lacked batteries, motors, or supplies of any sort.
So he's feeding him this imagination.
So at a certain point, there's a bright flash and a being who calls himself the demon of electricity appears.
He tells Rob that he's accidentally touched the master key of electricity and entitled to demand from me three gifts each week for three successive weeks.
This law of three is big in esoteric circles.
If you study anything like the Gurdjieff work or the Golden Dawn, you're going to find that.
And so, whenever we see this kind of magic of three.
So, Rob, the kind of hero of the story, says, No, no, I don't want anything like that.
But the demon continues to follow him around and offer him these keys.
So, one of the things that he gives him, which is interesting, I think, is a garment of protection.
Which renders him invulnerable to bullets, swords, or other physical attack.
So, this is kind of getting into weaponry here, defense weaponry.
Then it gives him a record of events, which provides remote views of important events taking place at any place in the world at any time within the last 72 hours.
Psychic Remote Viewing00:04:04
Now, we always talk about remote viewing, and we know about these people who were trained in remote viewing who are good psychics.
And then the government went in there and said, you know, we're going to do this and take it over as a program.
And then pretend that it didn't work because it got out somehow that they were using psychics.
Of course, if you look at it, they've been using psychics not only in America, but in other countries for a very long time, in Russia, for example.
So, behind the Iron Curtain in that period of World War II and afterwards, they took it very, very seriously as something that was a major tool.
So, but for him to use this term remote view, And that this spirit is giving this boy inventor this ability to do this.
I think that's fascinating because we've heard before how did remote viewing the term ever come about?
And I've never heard a very satisfactory thing.
I think they went back here and they had learned about BOM and they said, well, what it is is remote viewing.
And they got the term that way.
The other thing that he gives him is a character marker.
So it's a set of spectacles.
You might remember them, you know, they live.
So, you know, when you look at that movie and the hero, Nada, puts on the glasses and he can see everything, it really is.
Well, what's fascinating about this is that's in the book.
That's the glasses that he gives them.
And they're called character markers.
And when you wear them, everyone you meet will be marked upon their forehead with a letter indicating his or her character.
So the good will bear the letter G, the evil the letter E, the wise will be marked with a W, and the foolish with an F. F.
The kind will show with a K upon their foreheads and the cruel with the letter C.
And so he puts on these glasses and he sees people with all these different things.
They don't say if an X shows up on his forehead, but that would be interesting.
By the way, lots of X steganography deep, deep in bombs books.
We're going to be bringing some of that out tonight, especially in The Wizard of Oz, interestingly enough.
I want to remind you, by the way, that you're watching the X series 97.
This is all about The Wizard of Oz.
I want you to go to darkjournalist.com.

Okay, so what we're going to do now is we're going to see with Bond, basically, some of his more esoteric leanings and where they're coming from.
One of the things I want to do is read his quote.
And I think this is fascinating because it gives us a real snapshot of what's going on in his head.
And although he was very famous in his lifetime, I don't know if he knew how famous The Wizard of Oz was going to be because it is such a touchstone in culture.
And it's really the greatest movie of its kind.
And even to be associated with that is remarkable.
But what's interesting is his wife outlives him.
You know, he dies in 19.
Wizard Of Oz Reincarnation00:12:05
19.
So his wife outlives him all the way to 1953.
So she's there for all of the Wizard of Oz stuff.
She's there for 14 years of guiding that whole process.
And a huge supporter.
Yes, absolutely.
We're going to find some very interesting people associated with the movie side.
We haven't even got into that yet.
Okay, so here's Baum's quote.
And this is before, this is 1890.
So it's a good 10 years before the.
He even touches the Wizard of Oz as a concept.
By the way, he'll write 14 Wizard of Oz books.
That's called being in demand.
It's kind of like the Game of Thrones thing where you put out the Game of Thrones and that's all people want for a year.
And they're like, hey, where's that new Game of Thrones book?
Even though they blew it.
All right, so this is Frank Baum, 1890.
Listen closely.
Amongst various sects, so numerous in America today, who find their fundamental basis in occultism.
The Theosophist stands preeminent both in intelligence and point of numbers.
Theosophy is not a religion.
Its followers are simply searchers after truth.
The Theosophists, in fact, are the dissatisfied with the world, dissenters from all creeds.
They owe their origin to the wise men of India and are numerous, not only in the far famed mystic East, but in England, France, Germany, and Russia.
They admit the existence of a God, not necessarily of a personal God.
To them, God is nature, and nature is God.
But despite this, if Christianity is truth, as our education has taught us to believe, there can be no menace to it in theosophy.
So the appetite of our age for occultism demands to be satisfied.
And this is moving down the quote the appetite of our age for occultism demands to be satisfied.
And while with the mediocrity of people will result in mere sensationalism, it will lead in many to higher and nobler and bolder thought.
And who can tell what mysteries these braver and abler intellects may unravel in future ages?
This is what I'm talking about with moving the culture.
You know, Baum there is getting us into this mindset of we have the ability to influence these minds and open them up.
And bring in these spiritual aspects.
But what he's also saying is that theosophy he finds as something that's not identified with any one religion, but is kind of a universal appreciation of religion and spirituality.
Now, at 1890, this is just before Helena Blavatsky had died, but theosophy had accomplished quite a bit from 1875 to 1890.
They'd laid reincarnation on the table, they'd introduced meditation, yoga, so many things that we take for granted now.
You know, you walk around and you see somebody carrying a yoga mat or whatever.
And yoga really got popular here in America in the 1960s.
So theosophy takes a long boiling point, but that's where this comes from.
And when we look at theosophy as the tradition, it had problems later and it splits off.
It tries to elect Krishnamurti to be the world teacher.
We know there are great splits inside of it and groups that were inside of it and individuals who are spiritually minded.
Very advanced, it attracted a very advanced group.
So, people like Steiner, for example, he said, You know what?
I'm going to take all the things that I've learned from theosophy and move with anthroposophy in the direction that theosophy was supposed to go.
So, and theosophy kind of as a group, as an institution, goes off the rails by about 1930.
But the buildup of theosophy, I remember the quote from Steiner in relation to theosophy, he said, At its At its cradle stood true initiators.
This is very important for us to understand, which is the main personality of Blavatsky coming forward with this information and working with Olcott provides a very good foundation.
But you're going to see also that as time goes by, like whether it's jealousy or whatever, a lot of groups try to take theosophy down.
And so bad things start to happen.
And it doesn't, you know, it doesn't sort of fulfill its ultimate promise.
But here we can see it's plugging in people like Baum into their kind of higher spiritual side.
And he's got a real mystery school esoteric tradition informing his work.
It makes all the difference.
And now his work is with us for so many eons because theosophy was there to help him tap in.
This is the power of understanding the esoteric principles.
And it's why we get into them so much.
On this program.
Okay, so there's a lot here to get into about the movie, and I'm going to do this in reverse, which is I showed you Baum and his influence.
Now I'm going to show you someone who wrote the screenplay for Wizard of Oz, the movie, and we're going to take a look at Noel Langley.
This is Langley with holding the script, actually, of the Wizard of Oz and making some final changes to it.
What a wonderful picture.
Yeah, well, he's a very interesting guy.
He is from South Africa and he's educated in London.
He's doing such good work over there as a playwright that he gets grabbed over here, and Hollywood starts to use him.
But he doesn't like the Hollywood environment, he thinks it's very kind of superficial.
But he's looking for opportunities to expand.
He's a very spiritually minded individual.
The same Noel Langley will write this book.
So, the individual who wrote the screenplay for The Wizard of Oz also wrote.
Edgar Casey on reincarnation.
Put those two dots together.
This is interesting because when we look at Casey, so many of the Wizard of Oz people coming to him for readings, the producer of the Wizard of Oz comes to him for readings.
And a lot of people are going deep into finding on the Casey side, who are these connections there in the movie field with Casey readings.
But I have to say that when we look at Langley, we're getting someone who has such a fascination with reincarnation and spirituality that he is the natural kind of heir to Frank Baum's vision.
And between the two of them, they can really bring this thing to a higher level.
So, what happens is that he gets assigned to do the screenplay and he creates this incredibly honed version of the book.
And he adds a few things, like in the beginning, the dream sequence, you know, when the tornado part is supposed to be kind of a dream, and the whole thing about, you know, the Wicked Witch being this woman who is back in Kansas who owns half the county and all that.
That's all Noel Langley trying to give context because the book actually comes in.
And there's the tornado, and boom, she's there.
So, what Langley tries to do is he tightens it up.
One of the interesting things that he does, in my opinion, is he takes the ruby slippers from Dorothy, which were silver in the book, and he makes them ruby slippers, which was the color of the throne of the Good Witch.
So, that's a very interesting switch there.
But considering we're just starting off with color movies at the time, it was a great move.
But when we consider The kind of alchemical process of silver, or having silver slippers.
When you think of the whole silver cord imagery.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah, well, the Appian way, right?
That is the psychic threshold, that is the third eye and all that.
That's a tradition.
That's what they're doing.
And we're going to show some very early drawings that this fantastic illustrator who was working with Baum did of The Wizard of Oz before it became this.
Its development through time.
It actually takes those 40 years, and every decade there's some attempt at bringing it out.
It doesn't happen until Noel Langley shows up with his incredible screenplay, which the producer and some other writers try to take down and really make it kind of like the Wizard of Oz, the super commercial version with clowns and all kinds of craziness.
So he gets the power back to do his screenplay, and it is quite remarkable.
Now, another thing I want to mention about Langley is he continued.
For a number of years, trying to get this vision through, he moved to Virginia Beach so he could be close to the ARE, the Casey Foundation, so he could be in that kind of environment.
And what happens is, along the line, there's a fantastic book about someone who's practicing hypnosis and they keep bringing this woman back in her lifetime to her childhood and they go right past her childhood back into a past life.
And this is one of the first big reincarnation sensations.
So, the book's called Bridie Murphy, and we can see here that Noel Langley not only did the screenplay for it, but he is also the director.
So, here we have that Mystery School influence plugging in through Edgar Cayce.
Now it's going directly into a Hollywood movie.
And it's funny because if you watch the movie, and some of it's available on YouTube, there's this guy, it's kind of like a 50s hipster, who walks in at one point, and he's like, you know, Edgar Cayce was.
Someone who didn't take money for his readings, and he, you know, he really was looking for the deeper truth.
And there's this other critic in there being like, he must have been a shyster.
They're all charlatans.
There's this whole thing.
And this guy lays out like a mystery school track in about 10 minutes.
It's unbelievable.
It's worth a shot.
But one of the things that I got from the movie was Langley is trying to bring out the book Bridie Murphy now.
So again, it's his reincarnation track.
And we'll see a lot of interesting projects that he's associated with.
He's trying in the background.
And I think eventually there's a movie.
Which is on a clear day you can see forever, which is, I think Barbra Streisand is in the movie version, but the play was very popular.
And that's all about reincarnation.
And then, boom, from there.
There was some horror movie in the 70s about reincarnation of Peter Proud.
Oh, right.
So if you keep track of these things, yeah, they show up and, you know, like they're referenced here and there.
And it starts to become, but reincarnation as a theme, by the time you get to the 80s, it is.
It's very deep.
Like there's the whole reincarnation craze in a sense.
That's been pushed back a lot.
And this was a big issue that the mystery schools try to bring out with Blavatsky in the first place.
So, you know, it's interesting with these themes when we think about psychic experience, reincarnation, meditation, all these things coming out of this mystery tradition.
Don't you ever once in a while look around and say, where did this come from in popular culture?
Alice Embraces Psychics00:06:08
Who is shaping the.
Tapestry there, giving us the opportunity to invest ourselves in that.
You know, where is that kind of spiritual line coming in?
Because if we look at Dorothy, we can easily see, if you're familiar with the work of like Joseph Campbell, that hero with a thousand faces, her hero's journey is taking on the evil witch.
So the wicked witch is a very established evil in Oz.
Everyone's already afraid of her, she already has domain.
So, when you get in to Oz and you're dealing with this, when she comes in, she kills the witch's sister.
So, immediately, accidentally, of course, with her house landing on her, but it involves her very deeply and very dramatically.
So, we're going to get into Dorothy now and find out what's motivating Baum in creating this and how did Langley really bring this out.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
This is X Series 97.
Deep on the Wizard of Oz, and we're going to be taking questions in the second part of the program.
What do you got over there?
David Dunaway said, Dorothy could defeat Hillary Clinton, which is great.
Yeah, I'm sure she could.
Yeah.
But you know, the power of her, she has a fierce innocence, a purity.
Yes, that's really true.
Well, there's a lot of things about Dorothy.
First of all, there's a theme in the mystery schools that with the Orphic Circle, which we brought out in a couple of episodes about Emma Britton.
So, I recommend those, but I'm going to touch on it briefly here.
Emma was one of the founders, along with Blavatsky, of the Theosophical Society, as I mentioned.
And Blavatsky lauded her talents and eventually split off from her.
In her autobiography and in her books, she mentions a group called the Orphic Circle.
And the group contained very high.
Officials, so like the Prime Minister of England, for example, he was involved.
And it was a psychic investigation group, and they were using children from the age of 10 to 14 to channel psychic insight.
So the Orphic Circle had people like Charles Dickens in it, for example, and you had all of this kind of notable literary giants that were in it.
So these people were very, very deep, but they were very secretive about the group.
The information that they were getting, they could touch on.
State secrets, or they could touch on the nature of reality itself.
So it was kind of like doing a Casey type thing, but they were using these very special teenagers.
Now, in her case, it came to her slowly over time as she had the psychic awakening.
Her grandfather was known as the Whale's Wizard, and he was someone who was very psychic.
And this group knew that, and they sort of groomed her in this fashion, and they Also, made her someone who was studying classical music and they set her up for an acting career.
They did all these things with her and for her.
But her memories all came back later about the actual sessions of what she was channeling.
And some of it could be very terrifying at times, which is at one point she said they were channeling information from her and like a great wind came through the place and knocked everything around.
And it was this incredible channeling session.
And the people were trying to get control.
Of what was going on.
So, really, very kind of poltergeisty type stuff.
Emma Britton was a real prototype for Alice and the Alice books for the person who was familiar with them.
And Lewis Carroll, he was familiar by working in that whole realm of literature and being in the Ashmolean wing.
Library there at Oxford, he was very close to the Rosicrucian material, which is where all the Alice imagery stuff comes from.
But Alice, the archetype, was what they had done earlier around 1840, 1850 with Emma Brenton when she was younger.
And later she would write about this group.
And it was interesting because she wrote about them in kind of a mixed fashion because she said, well, you know, they let me know and they helped me develop my real spiritual identity and my psychic ability.
And for that, I'm forever grateful.
But she was also, you know, she also felt that only half of them were really sort of morally developed and that they would use the information that came through her ethically.
You know, it was sort of a mixed bag.
But she, at the end of her life, she actually said it was a beneficial experience.
Now, what's interesting is she will go on to have this incredible life where she embraces her psychic ability.
She'll come to America and she'll work for Abraham Lincoln, of all people.
And she will bring Theosophy to a huge audience.
But Emma is also being that archetype for Alice.
Alice is kind of the archetype for Dorothy, but she's specifically American.
And, you know, she's from Kansas and she's on the hero's journey the same way that Luke and some of these other characters are going to be on.
So she's the hero and the obstacle that she really needs to face and what she needs to get.
When she leaves, she needs to get back home.
She has a major goal of returning home after this incredible tornado.
Dark Chapter Surrender00:14:17
But fate had different ideas and it put her in this whole environment.
And so she becomes instantly the enemy of the Wicked Witch.
She has the ruby slippers.
She's really, you know, and she's celebrated by Oz.
But Oz is kind of oppressed by these darker forces like the Wicked Witch and formerly her sister.
So that clash, when we look at the clash of evil, as we see it now in our world today, you know, the people orchestrating riots and the people looking for chaos and people trying to lock people up if they have different ideas.
Or governments trying to control the citizens through pharmaceuticals.
You know, it's interesting because when The Wizard of Oz comes out as a movie, you're facing the whole Nazi eclipse, you know, this whole dark period that comes about.
And it is really coming through there.
It's really like, it's sort of like the antidote.
It gives you the idea that you're going to have to take on the Wicked Witch.
There's no way around it.
Just like, you know, we need to take on Ahriman, according to Steiner's work.
We're facing.
This kind of dark chapter, just like the dark chapter of the COVID frenzy and governments trying to use it to lock people down and control them with chips and everything else.
This is a dark period that needs to be faced.
And it is the information of the mystery schools that has been left there for 150 years to give us a foundation to work for this moment where we come into it in the 21st century.
And when you look back on it and you say, wow, you know, it's interesting.
We have these people working along this line.
Theosophy, you know, we have these people like Krishnamurti, these figures, Blavatsky.
If you really look at it, what are they doing there?
You know, what is their role?
They're moving that culture, our culture, into a place where we can see what's actually taking place.
And they have their own challenges.
And just like I mentioned, World War II, Aldous Huxley and Krishnamurti went around during World War II looking to ask all the countries to drop their arms, basically, which sounds kind of like a peace hippie thing.
But if you think about it in 1940, it's a pretty radical idea.
And, you know, so this inclination about it, when you look at the 60s and the people who are rising out of that darkness, they're coming through Vietnam.
They're coming through assassinations.
So our dark track can't be any darker, really, than somebody else's.
It's just that it's very kind of in your face right now in the world.
So the lessons, the things that can be brought out of the mystery traditions, Like the Wizard of Oz, we can get a handle on what the archetype of the challenge is.
So, in Dorothy's case, which is a great story for a child and older people appreciate it too, she has to take on a real terrifying established evil, just the Wicked Witch.
And the Wicked Witch sees her as something that she instantly wants to, as an obstacle.
She just wants to get her out of the way immediately.
Now, the Wicked Witch is crafty.
She commits a number of different crimes.
And if you read the original script, one of the things that I found out, which I think is fascinating, is when she's sky writing, which is quite a moment, and it says, surrender Dorothy, the actual script called for it to say, surrender Dorothy or die.
Wow.
So they're really putting the Wicked Witch out there as terrifying that entire group and community in Oz.
And Oz seems to kind of deal with the evil by just getting by, you know, like.
Hopefully, the evil doesn't bother us.
And when you get to the battle of Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, you can see that the Good Witch, Glinda, who plays a very interesting and important role, is kind of like the Mystery Schools because she's not taking the fight on for Dorothy, but she is giving her the tools and the information to do it herself.
Because here, for example, she doesn't say, Dorothy, get behind me, I'll take on the Wicked Witch.
She has Dorothy take the ruby slippers and face off, but she's right behind her.
And over and over again, the wicked witch, like I said, committing arson, she's incredibly ruthless and she's the epitome of evil.
And there's a certain point where she's talking, she realizes, oh, yeah, the ruby slippers don't come off unless you're dead.
And then she starts thinking there.
It's this incredible moment in the movie where she's like, oh, let me think about how I want to kill you, basically.
And she's like, you have to do these things delicately or the spell is, you know, you hurt the spell.
This is quite a psychological drama that takes place.
And Dorothy has to come through and take that kind of inspiration from her Kansas life and getting back home and adopting all these friends.
Now, I could spend all night going into the scarecrow and the lion.
These are aspects of courage, but I'm going to concentrate on this face off with Dorothy and the Wicked Witch.
Some of those earlier movies, which I think are interesting.
One of them is quite fascinating, and it's from Oz Films, which is what they had created.
And like I said, it was produced by Thomas Edison, who was a member of the Theosophical Society, and I'm sure he was trying to move Bohm's work forward.
I'm not a big fan of Edison because of the things that he did to Tesla.
He was obviously ruthless, but he was very plugged in in his period of time.
This is one of the early 1914 versions of Dorothy with the Scarecrow, and that is a silent movie.
I think some of these early versions are interesting.
Not all the footage still exists, some of it's gone, but finding out more about it, I think, has been interesting.
One of the things that we learned is that a bomb formed in 1914.
So movies were still silent, and he was pouring the money in.
He didn't really have the team or the resources yet.
But that one was called The Scarecrow of Oz.
And it looks like the Patchwork Girl of Oz is kind of one of the key developments that they did.
And it's interesting, too, because they wrote all this music to go along with it.
And it's fascinating because you can't really, you know, when you're doing silent movies, the songs, it's just music in the background.
Yeah, what do you got?
Breach123 says Olivia is Dorothy, Gigi is the Good Witch, and DJ is the man behind the curtain.
That's great.
It's awesome.
He's worked it well.
I have to say, yeah, there's definitely a few moments, there's a few archetypes in The Wizard of Oz where you start, you know, you can see that pretty easily, for sure.
And it's also interesting to think about the, you know, Dorothy has kind of a psychic intuitive edge, but she doesn't take any guff, you know, like she's not going to be pushed around.
Even when the wizard goes after her friends, she's really in the wizard's face.
And she says, you know, what do you think you're doing?
Like, where are you?
Where do you get off doing this?
That's really kind of interesting.
You know, it's loyalty.
Loyalty to her.
It's her big strength, right?
Yes.
That's what she leads with.
So that's what makes her fearless her love, right?
The purity of her love, her loyalty to whom she loves.
It is.
Well, she's there with Toto the whole time.
She's holding Toto through the movie, pretty much.
And he gets away a few times.
And there's a lot of spontaneity to Toto's action.
He's kind of the action of spontaneity, he's like quick intuition.
This theme, though, from the Orphic Circle and Emma Britton through Alice in Wonderland through Dorothy will get picked up.
They did it in Labyrinth, and Bowie is the Goblin King.
Jennifer Connolly, I forget what she was, I forget what her character's name was.
Oh, I can't think of that.
Sarah.
Okay.
But we see it, and then there's been versions of this over time.
I mentioned before that Linda Blair in The Exorcist is also.
Kind of like this, but she comes through a situation where she's very unprotected.
And so she becomes more of a victim of that situation.
But it is overwhelming that we see this theme again and again throughout this fairy literature.
And I think what it tells me is that that core idea that the mystery schools got out there has been picked up now by.
This is what happens, I think, with mystery traditions they plug it into the collective unconscious and then you can tap into it.
So we see that over and over again.
Now, that said, Dorothy's afraid over and over again, of course.
She's not cowardly like the lion.
He gets to really, like, actually, at a certain point, she's like, geez.
And so she really does bring it together.
What's also interesting is the early versions.
Now, you know that moment in Star Wars?
You'll know it real well because you're such a Star Wars fan.
Where.
Luke takes off the mask of Darth Vader, and there's this very undeveloped character underneath, even though his machinery was very advanced.
So, there's an illustration from the first Wizard of Oz book from 1901, and I found this very interesting.
This is the first time you're seeing it, too, but take a look at that, and then I'm going to show it to the audience.
There's a few things about this.
One is that, on some level, when she gets doused with the water, you know, she melts, of course, in the movie, but this is what they have here.
She has an eye patch on, but what grabbed me is that she kind of has her hair in, like, it's almost like she's a child and she's been aged into this evil herself because she's sort of dressed like a child.
And the silver slippers, which we're talking about, one of them is there.
So I think there's a lot going on in that.
They're trying to tell us something about this witch here, which is without the evil, with the evil removed.
You're looking again.
It's like the Darth Vader thing.
It's a very undeveloped, unformed, evil character underneath.
The humanity never got to develop.
Now, there's a lot of interesting scenes, I think, with the witch following Dorothy, where she looks in the crystal ball and she can see her.
This is also bomb projecting into technology.
And it's just like the government tracking that we see so easy now the two way cameras.
This is a 1984 thing.
But in 1984, you know, it's kind of expected because of the technology.
In Wizard of Oz, it's just this magical thing.
But she is there planning against Dorothy and tracking her, which I think is quite interesting.
Now, I inserted the X in this picture because this is where the Wicked Witch is dying after she has set the Scarecrow on fire and Dorothy has doused the fire.
But I think this is very interesting because they need to get the broomstick of the Wicked Witch to bring back to the wizard to get the things that they need.
The Scarecrow needs a brain, the robot, but it's the Tin Man.
If you really look at him and you're thinking of him back there, he's the Tin Woodsman.
He's the Tin Man, but he basically is an android.
And there's a lot of unusual aspects of him in the book and in the early scripts.
One of the things is that he doesn't want to take any life.
So, at a certain point, which is also cut out of the movie, they have all these bees come after them and they have to dance the bees off.
They cut this whole sequence.
But one of the things is that the Tin Man kills a bee.
And then he has a whole kind of sad segment about not wanting to kill any life.
So we're, you know, it's interesting because he's supposed to be without a heart, but all of these characters, just like the scarecrow, already have things that they need that they're going to the wizard for.
Quite fascinating.
A couple of interesting ex steganography moments in the movie.
They go into the spa to get themselves ready to see the wizard, and they're surrounded by X, double X, and super X.
It's never well explained.
It's not explained in the books.
It's not explained in the movie.
But there's the ex steganography sitting in the middle of this classic as they're getting ready to meet the wizard.
Oddly enough, there's more ex steganography around the Tin Man, too, which is the wheel that he's under, has an X on it.
So they're communicating something.
And Super X, I think, is an interesting.
If you think about all the different things we try to bring out about steganography in X. When you think of Super X, you know, like the super version of that, it's quite remarkable.
The upshot is that Dorothy, in the end, defeats both witches, both the Wicked Witch of the West and the Wicked Witch of the North.
Defeating Both Witches00:15:19
Right, she's a double murderer.
Well, she's a warrior.
Yes.
I wouldn't call her a murderer because both times she's about to be.
Right, it's manslaughter.
Self defense, let's put it that way.
But she's a hero and she gets actually to restore order to the land of Oz.
She becomes the hero's journey.
Very much like we're talking about with Luke in Star Wars.
And that whole Joseph Campbell track of the hero with a thousand faces, the hero has to face those challenges.
So, you know, the Wizard of Oz, through your whole life, you take it with you and it informs you, it informs your reality.
When we get into the types of situation that we're in now, you know, when you see the politics degraded to such a level and the culture degraded to such a level, Then that's where you can see the power of the mystery schools having left this legacy and tapping into that legacy, how that works for us.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
This is X Series 97, and we are going deep, deep into the esoteric meaning and the mystery school legacy of The Wizard of Oz.
We're going to be taking your question in the second part of the program, so you can ask them in caps.
And Miss Olivia is on that track.
How's it going out there?
Good.
Yuri Karma says X means crossing over to another dimension.
Yes, yes.
Well, it's interesting.
Some of the kind of cosmic studies around X are interesting.
One of them is astronomical, showing that this Dionysian period and the period of the Greek mysteries, they were looking for a certain astronomical alignment called a crossroads, which was an X in the sky.
So what we understand about the X and these groups communicating with each other and the things that people laid out in these programs, of how they use X-degonography back and forth to communicate, that's one thing.
But the symbolism, you know, where it comes from, what they used it for, what they understood it as, what it could be, what could be acquired through it, the knowledge that's acquired through it, astronomical knowledge, that's where it really gets interesting because I think it's fascinating that they've used it as a naming system now in the 20th century, the 21st century, that we're in this period where it's kind of arisen again.
But it is definitely a footprint.
Left behind by these mystery groups over the course of time, because you're going to find it deep in the Pythagoras schools.
You're going to find it back there, Egyptian Book of the Dead.
So we're dealing with something which is another one of those legacies.
It's hard to even imagine.
I was reading something about Akhenaten and thinking about Akhenaten's mystery school, and then how hard that would be for us to get a handle on, because that's maybe 1500 BC.
If you take it back, you know, the era that Casey and Steiner talk about, 10,000 BC, we're already looking back just at theosophy and how things worked in the 19th century, and we already can't believe how much has changed.
You take it back that far, and it becomes, you know, understanding how much of a legacy that is for humanity is something else.
Certainly, some of the ancient building methods, the structures, the work of people like Graham Hancock is caught up in that, that's for certain.
And so that's where things like Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids, it's like a time capsule there waiting for us to catch up.
And I want to remind you while we're in the middle of this to go to darkjournalist.com, by the way, and sign up for our newsletter.
We've been seeing some real incredible censorship.
And there's just no way around this, which is if you say something that the powers that be don't like, say it enough, and if they've tuned into it, you're out.
So, this is just the way that they're going.
So, make sure that you're on that newsletter list because we have that back and forth going on.
And that's just one to one, which is the best way to guarantee that we have that pipeline with each other, just in case, just in case.
I mean, I'll stay positive on all the networks being open, but we're seeing dramatic, dramatic censorship.
Yes.
Raymond Hanson says Look again at that picture of the old picture of Dorothy and the witch.
Dorothy has a silver slipper on her right foot, and the witch has a silver slipper on her left foot.
Is the witch an aspect?
Of Dorothy.
Well, that's interesting.
That's kind of like, that's almost Jungian, right?
And that's like a dream interpretation.
But the symbolism there, I think, is very interesting.
And certainly the slippers came from the Wicked Witch, the first one, anyway.
And they magically.
In a Jungian dream, all the characters are you.
Oh, really?
Right?
Yeah, you know this.
So that is one way to.
What's great about the Wizard of Oz and all of these.
Kind of archetypal fairy tales is that there are so many different ways to interpret it.
Oh, yeah.
And it's about what makes sense for us, what touches us, right?
Oh, there's no question about it.
Well, I've seen great explanations of the Wizard of Oz over time.
People saying, well, it's about drugs because of this, or it's about the money system because of this.
We've seen that the Central Intelligence Agency picked it up as a part of the monarch mind control system.
It's interesting because at a certain point, the wizard's standing there and he's leaning on a sign that says monarch.
So it's probably exactly where they got that from.
So it's a kind of an inversion, it's a twisting of the original purpose of the thing.
But we see that these things have happened.
And so the different interpretations are really quite fascinating.
For me, you have to know that The Wizard of Oz comes from a deep esoteric tradition.
And that if you go back and read Baum talking about it, whenever they've tried to match things up with things in his life, they said, oh, well, you know, Dorothy, he had a relative who had a child who died early and it stayed with him.
And that's why he named it Dorothy.
And then when they asked the wife about that later, she said, No, no, no.
He selected the name Dorothy just because he wanted to use the name.
So you have to be careful about interpretations.
They're thick and they sit on top of what the motivations are for these people.
But very often, they are one inch deep.
And we see this over and over again.
The media does this all the time, too.
They'll take something really quite profound and they'll try to just explain it away as this, like, oh, you know, He just knew he had some relative, and therefore, so you don't look deeper into what is the name, what's the reference to the name.
Speaking of the name, hold everything.
Yeah, hold everything.
I don't know if this is true or not.
Mount Cleverest says, DJ, using simple gematria, the value of the letter X is equal to the value of the word Toto.
Oh, that's so.
What or whom does Toto represent?
This is fascinating.
I like that, actually.
Toto is very unusual.
As I said, he's spontaneous.
He's the reason why.
You know, the whole in the movie, he's the reason why the whole drama occurs because this wicked witch character, who's this wealthy woman who owns half the county and is harassing Dorothy because her dog keeps getting into her garden and stuff like that.
So he really sets off a chain of events.
Oh, he's going after the kitty.
Yes, but he's setting off the chain of events.
And at a certain point, Dorothy says, I'll bite you myself.
Yeah.
But for me, in looking at that, definitely Toto is deep.
It's a deep reference.
His spontaneity over and over again, he does things that shake things up because he's not thinking with a regular logical mind.
Michael Alexander is reminding us Toto equals dog.
Dog spelled backwards is God.
Yeah, well, that's amusing.
That's definitely amusing.
I think what I really take from this is that.
You know, it's interesting that on the Casey side, he had such a lot to do with shaping the movie because of so many readings given to these people who were working on it.
And Noel Langley, who was very deeply in the Casey work writing the screenplay.
Because Casey, if you look at his readings, there are five readings that mention the name Oz as part of the Lost Continent.
And this part of the Lost Continent, if you want to call it Atlantis or Moo, is in South America.
In Casey's reference, he calls it Oz, O Z, sometimes.
Sometimes he calls it Og, O G.
And he says that three of those Atlantean islands were split up, and the different names of the islands were Prosidia, Og, and Arian.
So, you know, this is very interesting because we're getting that Casey tapping into the name structure.
And again, in traditional terms, they have an explanation for the name, which isn't true.
So they have this explanation that Frank Baum got the name Oz from.
Using the end of a file cabinet where it said letters from O to Z.
And they just sort of made this up, inevitably.
So, what's interesting to me is that he, in the character, the actual Wizard of Oz, his name, if you go deep into those books, is Oscar Zoroaster.
Those are the first two of his seven names.
And that's where the OZ part comes from.
So, when he shows up in Oz, they think that he is the powerful Oz.
That's the way that the story works.
So it is quite interesting.
And what is Zoroaster doing as a name being used there?
There's a lot of levels of interpretation.
You could also say that his imagination just had this incredible quality to it.
But certainly it had nothing to do with File Captain.
One last Toto comment.
This is so great.
Tomaltanch O'Feargal says, Dog also accompanies the fool in the tarot.
And that's true.
I love that.
Excellent point.
And the full goes on the hero's journey.
There's no question about that.
Starts the entire.
That's another fascinating card in the deck.
There's no question about it.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show, Deep into the Wizard of Oz.
What we're going to do now is we're going to find out the place that inspired the Emerald City in Baum's imagination, and then the strange presence of defense contractors there.
When I was doing this, I have to tell you that I was like, I kept expecting Howard Hughes to show up in the kind of layout of this.
I said, you know, there's something about Hughes and his work that lends me to think that Coronado, which is the inspiration for The Wizard of Oz Emerald City, and that Baum was living in and was absolutely in love with, and really got a lot of inspiration from.
What's fascinating is that, as it turned out, and that was just a hunch about Hughes, but I found something really remarkable, which I'll read tonight about this, which is that Hughes, in fact, was schooled for three years in Coronado.
And this location of Coronado is going to become crucial for us to understand.
So when we think of Oz, think of the Emerald City, think of the whole thing, and then take a look at Hotel del Coronado.
This gives us a lot, I think, just the magicalness.
So beautiful.
Yeah.
Quite remarkable.
And thinking of BOM in that environment very early on, when it was very, you know, no pollution, nothing.
That's another shot of it.
Coronado is right across the San Diego Bay from San Diego and has just this kind of lovely geographical feature right there on the coast.
And such interesting characters as Meryl Monroe shot movies there.
That's the seven year itch.
She seems right.
No, it's not the seven year itch.
Oh, no, no.
It's something.
I can't think of the name either.
Some Like It Hot.
So, yeah.
With Tony Curtis and Jack Lennon.
In drag.
Yep.
But there she is, and she spent a lot of time there, as have many kind of famous actors.
Kennedy's stayed at Hotel Del Coronado.
We have Eisenhower had stayed there, Nixon, Reagan.
It's just an incredible.
Magnet.
It's also supposed to be haunted, and I'll mention that story tonight also.
That is it lit up at night, very much like the mythical place that it inspired Baum to create.
This is an actual rainbow somewhere over the rainbow in Coronado.
You can definitely see that all the elements were there to give him a great inspiration.
They've named one of the, for his original address, we're going to look at the address here too, but we've got Wizard of Oz.
Avenue.
Cool.
And he wrote, I've got some interesting quotes from him about Coronado.
This is what he sort of wrote as a fanciful poem about Coronado.
Coronado, the queen of fairyland.
That's the name of it.
And mortals whisper, wondering, indeed, tis fairyland, for where is joy without alloy, enchantment strange and grand?
And tired eyes grow bright again.
And tired eyes grow bright again.
And careworn faces smile.
And dreams are sweet.
And moments fleet.
And hearts are free from guile.
Spiritual Congress Vision00:04:51
This is more of the idealism that he's trying to get to.
He's trying to get to a kind of innocent state, which I think is where The Wizard of Oz comes from.
It's like, can we get into that innocent state of mind and do some good?
But he was seeing it back here in 1900.
He was seeing all these things.
This is before the first two world wars.
But he's looking at America in a kind of depression.
Things like the Dust Bowl will be coming.
And he sees from his experiences going across middle America in Nebraska and South Dakota that they're kind of forsaken places and they don't have the opportunity for growth.
And if you look at that early scene in The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy is there with her uncles and It's kind of like Dust Bowl City, right?
But there's this magic thing that comes in and transforms it all.
There is this kind of idea that we're not living up to what we should be living up to in society.
And this is what I think he's getting at with the culture today.
So, one of the interesting things also that I want to mention is his mother in law.
Who, as I said, was a famous suffragist and was also, she's really one of the earliest theosophists who were very into women's rights.
And if you think about it, she probably had this influence on him also because the characters in The Wizard of Oz that are dynamic are predominantly female because the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch, and then Dorothy, who's the hero of the story.
You have the male cast is there, but they're kind of supporting this drama that's playing out between these.
Powerful women.
Now, Baum explained how he came to write the book.
I think this is very interesting.
Quote, it was pure inspiration.
It came to me right out of the blue.
I think that sometimes the great author has a message to get across and he has to use the instrument at hand.
I happen to be that medium and I believe the magic key was given me to open the doors to sympathy and understanding, joy, peace, and happiness.
That's pretty, I mean, he's going into his depth there in terms of the spiritual side of this.
Now, what's interesting is he and Matilda, his mother in law, tried to get people together like Mary Baker Eddy and all these other spiritualists from different spiritual traditions and form a huge congress of which they would each have a different way of communicating to their group hey, you know, Christian science is okay, theosophy and theosophy is okay to Christian science, and that they would move the whole question of religion and spirituality forward.
So, this is a little side pick about that.
In a biography about Matilda Joslyn Gage, who was his mother in law, quote, Matilda wouldn't be missing the Parliament of Religions for the World.
This was the name of it.
By August, she was already in Chicago, staying with the Baums, that is, her daughter and Frank Baum.
She wrote a letter describing a mystical theosophy meeting that she, Maude, her daughter, who's married to Frank, and Frank had attended.
After some debate, theosophy had been fully included in the Parliament as one of the represented faiths, along with Catholicism.
Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the major Protestant denominations.
Some smaller and newer religions weren't officially represented.
They sent envoys.
For example, Mary Baker Eddy was in attendance representing Christian science.
Matilda's longstanding belief in theosophy told her that every faith holds a portion of the whole truth, and that was an opportunity to see if this were true, as it was the first time in the world's history that leaders of all the religions would be assembled under one roof.
To seek common wisdom as members of the Theosophical Society, Matilda, Maude, and Frank would be able to gain seats for many of the sessions of the World Spiritual Parliament.
This is very interesting.
So they have a vision of working just like Theosophy did, making these religions get their spiritual act together and moving that as a buffer against the incredible scientific materialism that's coming in.
Now, we can look back and say it didn't really happen.
However, what they have left there is this mystery school spiritual tradition.
And it is completely at odds with the kind of degenerate world that we find ourselves in the middle of.
Crowley And Archetypes00:05:20
And we have to find ourselves some kind of inspiration to buffer against this.
And this is the great challenge that we find ourselves in.
But I think understanding that Baum is part of that, and we get that when we get the Wizard of Oz.
It kind of embeds in everyone this sense of being able to take on the challenge and win and do it and spiritually develop from that.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist show.
We're going to be taking your questions shortly here.
We're in X Series, episode 97, and going deep on the ramifications of The Wizard of Oz.
We've taken a look at Edgar Cayce and his great influence on Noel Langley, who wrote a book called Edgar Cayce on reincarnation.
He's the person who wrote the screenplay for The Wizard of Oz and went on to write the direct and write of the movie, The Search for Bridie Murphy, about reincarnation.
We've taken a deep look at Baum.
I'll tell you, you could spend hours and hours on Baum.
He's that fascinating.
And what he was able to tap into with The Wizard of Oz, I think, is the great archetypal challenge within us all, really, to take on these immense challenges that seem overpowering.
And, you know, You could look around in 2020, like Dorothy says, and say, We're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
You know, so we understand the nature of the situation has changed and we're changing right along with it.
I want to remind you to go to darkjournalist.com and sign up for our newsletter to make sure we keep that open track.
And before we go to questions, I'm just going to run a couple of interesting points about Coronado and the hotel Del Coronado.
Yes, I don't know if you discovered this, but.
Cilindro Andromeda says that Crowley wrote a document called Liber Oz.
It's a kind of early version of the universal rights of man, and it's written there that, quote, man has the right to kill whom he wills.
Yeah, I think I do remember this, and, you know, this is the weirdness with Crowley, though.
If you really go into Crowley's work, he's actually quite a good writer, if you read Moonshield and some of those things.
But the situation he grew up in was so repressed, Christian wise.
It was so drilled down his throat that he had to do, you know, he felt he had to do anything to strike back at that.
And so I think there's a degenerated, as many of us understand about Crowley, it's like he has the same inspiration as the Mystery School players.
He comes out of the Golden Dawn tradition.
He tries to take over the Golden Dawn.
But there's a distortion that comes in.
And I think it's related to this.
Overly demanding Christian upbringing and makes him strike back against it.
So you find comments like that throughout his work.
I'll tell you a weird story about Crowley.
There's a guy who was a student of both Crowley's and Gurdjieff's.
His name is C.S. Knott.
And he describes working for Crowley.
And Crowley was like a bookstore owner at the time.
And it was kind of like a new age bookstore.
And, you know, Crowley, he said, well, Crowley was almost like a.
Fatherly, you know, he it was like all of that reputation stuff was sort of to help him have an image or to sell books in a way.
So we have to kind of remember that as we go along.
If it's like his brand, exactly, I'm the great beast.
You know, it's it is interesting, but what we can't deny, what's interesting, I think, is that Crowley had a very low opinion of L. Ron Hubbard and thought that he was morally degenerate.
And I pointed this out before, and you think about Scientology, like, what do you have to be to be morally degenerate to Aleister Crowley?
So let's look at what did Sinead O'Connor say?
Let's fight the real enemy.
And that's a joke, by the way.
Okay.
Oh, that's an interesting one.
That's just a headline Happy Birthday to Nikola Tesla, the real Wizard of Oz.
There's a writer there for the Chicago Times, and he tracked down all this stuff about this world's fair.
That took place in 1891 in Chicago, and that Tesla was there and Edison was there, and that Frank Baum covered it.
And at the World's Fair, which was called, I think, the Columbia Expo, this is very interesting because we know Columbia is the original female name for America, and it was originally going to be called Columbia, and so the District of Columbia.
But what happens is fairly wild is that.
Both of them are there, and they're calling Tesla the wizard of physics.
Militarizing Space Bases00:15:22
And of course, Edison is the wizard of Enlow.
So, yeah, I mean, the wizard thing is deeply embedded in him, and he was fascinated by this kind of electricity and what it was going to do, but also the cult of electricity.
And we can only imagine you know, you think about the people who are really hyped up on UFO disclosure, for example, and I don't blame them, but you know, it does, it turns very culty very quickly, and we've seen it again and again.
Okay, a quick thing directly from Hotel Del Coronado in California.
From their Facebook page, it says this 1957 aerial of the Dell, which is the name of the hotel, shows the changing waterfront.
The beach school, which was established in 1913 and where a young Howard Hughes once took lessons, is located on the left where the beach village stands today.
And that's just a shot of it.
You know, considering all the work that we've been doing around Hughes when Hughes showed up in the middle of the Coronado investigation, that was very interesting.
Okay, Northrop Grumman.
I just completed a documentary, excuse me, on UFO X Protect.
So these are UFO file assassins called X Protect.
They protect the technology, literally, knowledge around the technology.
So we put out the first part of the documentary.
And that's available there on this channel and on the website.
There's going to be the full version of that.
The 90 minute version is going to be available on Amazon as we get into October.
And I'm going to tell you about that and what it contains.
But what's interesting is I spent a lot of time on Northrop Grumman because there was a group called Lytton Industries, which was very advanced with the technology like Hughes Aerospace was.
And we went into great detail about what they were up to with the UFO file and how they had people who, you know, like the MLK assassin, who were on their payroll.
And also that they owned where these UFO events happened, like the incredible Pascagoula incident.
That's Witten Industries.
It happened on their employees.
Eventually, they sucked up all of Lytton's knowledge and they merged with them, and all of their technology went to Northrop.
Northrop is a real, along with Lockheed Martin and Boeing, they are spearheading a kind of, you know, they're so far beyond what we are aware of in the public in terms of the technology that we need to find some way to get, and I think presidents have thought this over and over again, we need to find some way to get back in the ballgame on this.
Northrop Grumman, I'm going to point this out, very heavy presence there in Coronado with Lockheed Martin.
I know they opened some bases and closed some bases, but there they are.
That's Northrop Grumman here.
Let's see if we can get really close with that.
You see where it says North of Kremlin?
It's that black dot.
Okay.
There's the black dot.
That is Coronado.
You can tell by all the red, hotel y stuff over here.
And then right in the middle over here is Frank Baum's house, which you can still visit.
Now, really take a look at that and let it sink in.
Hotel Coronado, where the Wizard of Oz was created.
Frank Baum.
Living close by, and then Northrop Grumman right behind both of them.
Not on the other side of Coronado, right there.
And if you go deep into what Northrop Grumman might be doing there, well, it's very interesting because Blackstone, for example, owns the hotel Del Coronado now.
And this is a private investment group like Goldman Sachs.
And for them to hold that asset, they try to actually sell it to these billionaires in China.
And the US government stopped them because they said, you know, we have so many secret things going on with the Navy and everything else in San Diego.
We can't have China running this hotel.
Can you imagine?
The Blackstone people, just like Goldman, have no ethics.
It's amazing to me.
So, is there anything going on underground?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Well, I'm going to finish the thing about Northrop first, and then we'll talk about that.
So, Northrop develops an aerospace wing.
And they're doing orbital tests of these satellites.
And we had all this stuff come out recently when Defense Secretary Esper comes out and says, you know, there's these directed energy weapons and they're able to come at us.
And China and Russia are developing these, we're in great danger and all the rest.
Well, Orbital ATK was early in the game on this.
They didn't say they were developing DEW, but the kind of orbital satellites that they were created are perfect for this.
This is the building.
I kid you not.
That's the headquarters of Orbital ATK.
Whoa!
That's where they are.
So, X Steganography, very deep there, and that is Northrop Grummanand Orbital, and that's their headquarters in San Diego.
When you get to San Diego, you know, we're talking so much about UFO disclosure and the hijacked version, the CIA getting on UFO disclosure and saying, hey, TTSA and New York Times and all that malarkey, as they call it.
Well, it's interesting because.
That whole incident, you know, like Fravor and Nimitz and all that stuff, that's all right off the coast there.
And Nimitz stations itself at Coronado.
So San Diego and Coronado become this major zone for this stuff.
And I've got a lot of different cases for UFO sightings over Coronado.
And what's interesting to me is this one just happened August 30th.
Okay.
UFO spotted flying above Coronado Island.
The footage on this is good if you can get it.
That's just a still on it.
But it is remarkable.
And I'll tell you that these craft are the ones in Coronado that they're showing.
I've just turned bright white.
Look at this.
That's good.
Now I'm back.
But what's interesting to me is that these are the man made tic tac style UFOs.
When you really take a look at that stuff, and they are building them and testing them around San Diego and Coronado.
So, when those stories are coming out, Navy Pilot, you know, Navy Pilot has this kind of ultimate freak out.
And that's a little bit more of this.
That's on Coronado.
So, with that kind of steganography, it's quite remarkable to think of it as that base and then flash our mind back to this idea of Coronado and the hotel at Coronado.
So, this gets us into some very, very interesting.
Territory indeed.
A lot of people were asking is Coronado Hotel California?
It could be.
It definitely could be.
I do want to say this.
Jay Mallett said that she went for a haunted tour in San Francisco, not for the spooks, but for the history.
And the people who were there told me how haunted Coronado was.
They saw faces in windows.
Wow.
Well, I'll just touch briefly on the haunted Coronado part because it is quite interesting.
All right, headline reads San Diego Times Haunted Island, Coronado, a hub for spirit activity.
This is interesting.
And basically, there's a whole story about Kate Morgan and the spirit of Kate Morgan.
And it's quite remarkable because what happened there is that she shows up about 1892.
And she's a guest there for five days.
And then they find her shot.
And no one knows what happened, but supposedly it was suicide.
Well, oddly enough, later there were forensics done and it wasn't the gun from the bullet and all the rest of it.
So she was killed there.
And they have all these incidents of her being seen and people looking at the ghost of Kate Morgan.
So there have been some other incidents there.
The previous owner had a very strange incident and it's another tragic story.
And I won't go into that so much, but I do feel like there's something definitely around this environment.
Uh, whether it's you know, we have to remember that things are that are good spiritually, it can also be used by other forces.
And so, when we're talking about land and we know the influence of a power spot, the place that influenced the Wizard of Oz, there's a reason why so many of those theosophists went to California at the time.
And, um, part of this, which I think is remarkable, is that as we've pointed out with the Halcyon community.
Which is also California, they were being drawn into this area to really get this very kind of spiritual message.
And if you look, you can go right down the line and find Krishnamurti.
All of them really were there, right there, smack on the coast of California.
And that's another overhead shot showing Northrop Grumman right behind our very.
Very famous Hotel del Coronado.
There's more to come on Coronado, of course.
There's only so many things we can dig into it on this one.
But with that, Miss Olivia, I turn the proceedings over.
Really?
Already?
Yes.
Okay.
Tempe McAdoo wants to know Is Coronado where the laser beam came from that Dutch Sense caught on his live feed show?
You know, if Dutch Sense is that guy out there who tracks a lot of interesting stuff for.
He was doing some stuff on the California fires, but a lot of us remember him as someone who studied.
Earthquakes did a really great job on that.
Weather patterns.
Yeah.
So he's coming back.
He's been doing more shows now.
So, no, I don't know exactly if he was tracking the laser from Coronado.
But if you find out that's true, let me know.
Okay, David Tormina.
Hi, DJ.
Wasn't Coronado also the place where the silver ship Spirit of St. Louis was built for Lindbergh?
Yes.
By Ryan Aeronautical, which was also taken over by Northrop Grumman.
Yes.
Fascinating point, too.
You're going to get, well, Lindbergh spent a lot of time at Hotel del Coronado.
The guest list there.
And these people would spend.
It's interesting because Baum is in Star Park.
And that's already a really mystical looking setup that they have there.
And his home, his original home, is still there.
But then to look at it on that map and see Northrop Grumman just sitting there.
And then if you look down the road, it's Lockheed Martin.
It's just interesting gymnastics to think about this place and this really heavy presence of the defense contractors.
Where the Wizard of Oz was created, and where this Hotel del Coronado kind of continues in this tradition.
It's quite remarkable.
Yeah.
Throat Punch says there's a Navy SEAL base shaped like the swastika around there, also.
Interesting.
Well, if you remember the name of the base, then you can email it to me at info at darkjournalist.com.
I've been studying a lot of overhead of the area, and it is interesting that he mentioned that because Star Park has some very, very interesting dynamics.
Like that whole spiral, and then these spokes.
I think it's a very interesting layout.
I was trying to get to who originally laid it out, and it turns out that they were basically railroad magnates, and they laid out this whole kind of incredible development.
And little by little, that whole area got the ferry across to San Diego, they built this magnificent bridge, and it still is this kind of idyllic.
Scene.
And even the way it was impacting Baum, he was really, his whole imagination was going off on the place and it opened him up.
What's interesting is that whole area of walking around from Hotel Coronado and then the avenues there, that's where the Yellowbrook Road came from.
Now we know that that's a deep metaphor, but it's the magic of the environment that's triggering him off.
Very, very interesting.
Andy B says it's called the Amphib Base locally and it's about a mile away.
Yeah.
We've been hearing about underground submarine bases and sort of potential UFO bases off San Diego.
Oh, absolutely.
There's always been that rumor there.
I feel like a lot of the stuff that we've got from the New York Times version of disclosure, this thing that we've pointed out a lot on this show, is really just kind of a rigged UFO threat idea coming out of the CIA.
Yeah.
And taking over this narrative of people looking into very, very deep aspects of the UFO reality.
This thing about controlling an area and making it, you know, kind of like an Area 51 underwater off the West Coast, that seems to be so much of the activity that's going on.
If you look at the number of aerospace companies that are between San Diego, Los Angeles and Coronado.
It is, I mean, it's amazing.
It's almost like their entire brain trust is right there.
But whenever you see Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrop Grumman, that's really the power click.
And they are controlling space.
They control the space fence, they control the satellites.
If you're really to watch, we talk a lot about deep state coups and things like that.
JFK Aerospace Power00:05:15
I always go back to aerospace because this is the power that goes all the way back to JFK opposing what was going on.
With militarizing space at the time.
There's an interesting thing that happened with Esper when he was talking as well, and this is problematic, which is Defense Secretary Esper, who, as I've said, has been not exactly been a friend to President Trump, but one of the things he was getting at with the DEW and suggesting that these satellites from Russia and China could shoot at us, he was saying that.
They've made space a war fighting domain.
And the war fighting domain is a very dangerous signal because it signals we're going to have a war in space.
And so, whatever the rationale is, and when I talk to people about this, they say, well, China's going to do it, so we have to do it.
No.
What you do is, as a world, you get together and the citizens say, we don't want a war in space.
And we don't want nuclear exchanges that then have fallout on the ground.
And you make it the cause of a generation to stop things like that.
It's like people gave up on peace completely.
Nobody's working for it anymore.
Oh, gee.
Well, you know, you have to hope not, of course, but it does, there is that aspect to it.
Yes.
Okay.
You brought up JFK.
So the obvious question Ed Kaufman, I wonder if Marilyn Monroe and JFK had any get togethers in Coronado.
Do you know anything about that?
They were both there at different times.
You know, it's interesting.
They got together in California because we had a.
It was more Palm Springs, right?
Yes.
And it's like Peter Lawford had set it up.
She was still married to Arthur Miller at that time, and she was pregnant.
She lost her baby on the set because the director made her do too many takes running.
So I'm like at Han?
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
I used to know a lot about Marilyn Monroe.
Oh, yeah.
So I doubt that she was hooking up with JFK during that time.
I'll tell you what's interesting about Marilyn Coronado is that she was such a presence there that there's a star, just like a Hollywood star, that's on the boardwalk there outside the hotel saying, Marilyn.
Stayed here.
So she was a very frequent guest.
That list of guests is fascinating.
There's some interesting information about Rumsfeld and Cheney living in Coronado.
Now, yeah, I know.
I don't like to think of that either.
But I think it's interesting because, you know, I'm trying to get to the sources for those, but it looks like they, in fact, lived there for a long time.
So with that kind of defense contractor, Action going on, especially the aerospace side, which is what they've been prepping really since the 1950s for this dominance in space.
You know, that's been kind of one of those central launch points.
And I think as we're looking across the map now, one of the things the X series is doing is it's saying, look, Moon, Pennsylvania, let's put that on the radar.
Coronado, California, let's put that on the radar.
The hot zone between Bimini, Cuba, and the Yucatan, let's put that on the radar.
That's where Autech is and all that kind of underwater Area 51 action.
These are the things that we need to get our mind wrapped around.
I think what happens, and I don't want to criticize on the independent or the alternative side, but things go round and round sometimes.
And you hear, you know, people will really talk about Nibiru or Anunnaki, you know, and all this kind of stuff.
It's all very interesting.
However, we kind of need to get into a position where our knowledge base is expanding.
And we start to understand those things and incorporate them into the next stage of knowledge that we have.
So, I think the knowledge about the hot zone, moon, and Coronado is wide open for very deep investigation, the kind of which we're trying to introduce around that.
And it's interesting because it just so happens in getting into Coronado that Coronado is all about the Wizard of Oz.
I mean, that's an incredible esoteric versus high tech combination that I've learned to.
You know, I mean, I get used to them, but it's still fascinating to just think, what on earth do the two have to do with each other?
And we learn more and more about that.
The space program is inevitably wrapped up with esoteric doings behind the scenes.
Yes.
Okay, so I'm going to link a bunch of questions and comments together.
So, Najat Madhuri said, Could the Coronado Hotel be some kind of portal?
Uh huh.
Twiley Hitmist says, The Fool is also a Janus reference, a portal jumper, and a gateway keeper.
Time traveler and interdimensional link here.
Just like Dorothy, she jumped through a vortex portal, aka tornado, into another dimension.
Silver Cord Astral Plane00:02:20
And Liberty Thunder says Are the silver slippers the same as the silver cord, tethering one to the body so it doesn't drift forever in the astral plane?
If so, is the land of Oz the astral plane?
This is what I was saying last night.
Well, this is very interesting.
First of all, let's talk about the silver cord.
Here's the Casey version of the silver cord.
You have the Pineal gland, you have the pituitary gland, and you have the Lady cells of the Lady.
That is the silver cord of your spiritual psychic body.
It's a physical representation of that.
Now, when Casey studied Revelation, he said that basically all of that stuff, including the 144,000 and the rapture and these types of things, this is representational of the body's.
Physical spiritual development.
And that the 144,000 is actually 144,000 cells that, when we become sort of spiritually awakened, are activated.
So, all these things are there in the deep mystery school literature the Casey work, in Steiner's work, varying degrees in Gurdjieff's work and in Theosophy.
So, there's a legacy there, which I think we're meant to.
Pull the truth out of and then move on to the next level and produce the next understanding around this.
It seems to me that with the mystery schools, there's almost like an incredible data dump.
And they bring all this new information online and then they see what we do with it and they hold back and they look to see how we develop it.
But it seems like I think if we were to think of those schools and think about those people inside of them, they must be looking at the world and thinking.
This is really a time for people to step up and get control of society again.
So I think this is where we're moving in it.
There's a realization under the surface.
Now, on top of it, you have a lot of very tuned out people.
MKUltra Psychic Tools00:14:08
So we don't have any quarrel with them.
It's just that we need to get to a place where like minded people get together and share ideas, like in the ideas room.
For example, this is kind of the.
Prototype of what is necessary, I think, to move the culture forward.
In terms of the portal jumping thing and time travel, look, there are people.
And as we look at the work, I did an episode on Thomas Townsend Brown, and he looked deeply, deeply into the time travel aspect.
So there's no question that there's some version of reality in there.
The idea of portals, if you talk to Native Americans about this, that was another weird thing that I saw, which is that the TTSA is trying to create the kind of false origin story of us versus the alien based on Native American literature.
So there's no level to which these guys will not sink to get a narrative going.
Hopefully.
It's just another version of them coming in and taking over the entire community.
There isn't going to be one area that they're not going to.
Until more, they're going to come out with St. Louis in white, just like he was doing.
What is the meaning of.
Reality with Lou Elizondo, counterintelligence agent.
You know, this is weird though, because TTSA, I want to mention this because I feel like their narrative is a danger.
And I don't accept them as a group at all.
I don't accept their good intentions.
And I think that it's just a CIA money front trying to take over the UFO field.
But one of the things that DeLong came out recently and said was that.
Aliens were present at the birth of Jesus Christ.
Now, this is interesting because it's like they want to, they're trying to create this narrative.
They haven't figured out how to do it.
And I think that, you know, when all the COVID stuff was going on and they were rolling out these UFO memes and really giving us old stuff, you know, they were saying, oh, you know, look at this Tic Tac UFO, which had already come out in 2017.
And actually, actually, it had come out in 2007 on YouTube.
Not exactly exclusive.
So they were playing all these weird games with that, but that stuff bothers me because I think of myself, they're trying to elect themselves as the next op.
They're saying to the forces, the powers that be, look, you guys have gotten so far with this pharmaceutical thing, you put people in half a lockdown.
We can get them really there with the UFO threat, and we can make a lot of money doing it.
Let's get together and have a little wine.
This is what the danger of that, and that group is unchecked.
So the UFO community fails dramatically.
When they don't research and investigate those people because they are over, they represent over 100 years of CIA experience on their board.
And their chief specialty appears to be making diseases.
The people on that board all have some kind of weird specialty and doctorate in making diseases.
That bothers me.
And I would like to see a thorough investigation of TTSA.
I don't buy them for the facade that they are.
And I always think that the CIA is dangerous whenever they try to co opt any particular area, but especially the UFO file.
They've proved themselves absolutely treacherous.
Yes.
Cloud Dragon would like you to talk about Trump disclosing UFOs on the Joe Rogan show.
Yeah, well, Trump didn't go on Joe Rogan, right?
Yes.
You think he will?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Well, this is interesting.
He did.
He talked about aliens with Lou Dobbs, of all people.
And, like, suddenly, we know it's weird 2020 time when we switch on Lou Dobbs and he's like, I have friends who are talking about aliens.
What about aliens, Mr. President?
You know?
Uh, and Dobbs is this news guy on Fox News, you just wouldn't expect him to talk about aliens.
But then, uh, Trump did talk to his son, and he was talking about Roswell.
I thought that was interesting.
There's no question, look, one of the things that we've been able to outline on this show is the level of UFO knowledge that Trump has, what he plans to do with it, or if he'll let that out to the public.
I don't know.
I mean, there's nothing that tells us that he's going to do that, but he's pretty aware because to start with.
Part of his problem is that his uncle is John Trump, who knew simultaneously about Tesla's X technology and the UFO file.
When you put those two together, he's like the trifecta.
And so then you get into how much of that did he share with Donald, his nephew?
It lends a case that he knows quite a bit about the UFO file.
I think we'll be hearing more about it.
But I have a very reverse attitude about the UFO thing, which is that the people on the ground who have experiences.
Sightings, you know, people send me very good photographs all the time or videos that they've taken.
That's where I think the real UFO disclosure aspect is going to come from.
And that's where I think we should aim it.
And I think that the government part is really a scam right now on the UFO file.
They're not going to, they're only going to tell us things like with the threat part.
They'll do it if they can get funding, you know.
And it's weird because the people involved, you know, like Chris Mellon on the board of TTSA, You know, he comes from this billionaire banking family.
And the other guys come from the CIA.
That's just not where you want the UFO disclosure part coming from.
And I have to say, in general, I know that we're dealing with like the medical tyranny and these things moving forward, and we have great people like RFK Jr. out there fighting it.
And I wouldn't spend so much time on the UFO aspect, except I think that they are building it up as an op.
So, I like discussing it for the research side, discussing the cases, discussing the reality of it.
But the op side, being able to expose the op that they're pulling it into, you're going to see a real fork in the road for people who want to really get into it and study the actual body of work of somebody like Linda Moulton Howe or John Mack or anybody who's done the work around it, versus this thing, which comes out of the deep swamp of the CIA trying to get a UFO threat going.
By putting a public company out there.
This is where that's a very dangerous situation.
Yes.
Maui Mixer, DJ, do you think it's possible that Tesla created a time machine, aka crystal ball?
And David Donaway says the Wicked Witch had a magical high tech surveillance.
She did.
There are quite a few crystal balls in the movie.
Yeah, actually, this is interesting.
In the beginning, Dorothy goes and sees Captain Marvel, or Professor Marvel.
There he is, and he actually kind of fakes out with the crystal ball.
He's like, Oh, I see your Auntie M, and she's worried about you.
After looking at a picture that he found that she's carrying in her basket.
But you can see he has the crystal ball to start with, and we have this sense that the crystal ball throughout is a driving force because it's being used that way.
When we get into crystals, these people were all tied in with the Casey work.
You know, if you, I mean, in Baum's case, it's Theosophy, and in the case of Langley, it's Casey.
They understand the history with the two eye stone and that crystal aspect, so they're bringing it in here.
Yes, the crystal ball is a traditional kind of mystical tool, this is the thing that they use, but um, I think its placement in the Wizard of Oz is exactly as you're saying, it's kind of opening up levels of symbolism for sure.
And the best moment, I think it's the most incredible moment in the Wizard of Oz is the lion jumping out of.
No, that's a great moment too.
No, it's when the witch is mocking Dorothy, crying.
Oh, oh.
When she's left alone and looking at Auntie M, the image of Auntie M, in the crystal ball.
And instead, the witch comes in, Auntie M, Auntie M, and then turns to us.
She breaks the fourth wall and is laughing and cackling.
And all of us.
And that, I mean, it chills you to the bone.
But I find that deeply meaningful.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Well, there's a lot of weird things going on there.
One is that.
She is interfering with Dorothy's communication, but she's also shape shifting the image that Dorothy is seeing.
So she's conjuring up an image of Auntie M. She's getting the reaction, and then she comes in and she says, I'll give you Auntie M.
It's just very advanced language.
But it is true, this is also present in Lord of the Rings when they're trying to cover that up in the beginning.
They want to make sure that they can't be viewed as they're looking.
So, it's a two way mirror.
And so, they've been at this technology before in different versions, in different ways.
Psychically, there's a whole list of properties that people have when they're telepathic.
You know, they say that in remote viewing, when you remote view, it's a two way mirror.
So, you can see at things, but then things can see you as well.
So, this is a deeper level of consciousness.
When we go into the work, Edgar Cayce.
And by the way, I mentioned that search for Bridie Murphy thing, and they have a little 10 minute segment where they just have this guy who's supposed to be Casey doing remote viewing and going into this grocery store to find this medicine.
It's interesting, though, because this is a quality that, a psychic quality that militaries and governments and secret projects and CIA have tried to develop from people.
We started off with Emma Britton.
Emma Brinton was being used for her psychic ability.
And what were they trying to do?
They were trying to get answers to the questions about the universe, but they were also getting things like state secrets.
So it's better on our side if we are aware of what's happening in relation to all of these things that, you know, they use psychic ability and psychic tools and people as psychic tools.
So the more that we, even though it's discouraged in public and You know, they put down things about psychic abilities.
We need to understand it very well because they know it is a science and they're a lot less ethical than the man on the street or the woman on the street.
In its use, yes.
Just ask Pat Price.
So, Golden Girl says, Mocking Dorothy is MKUltra.
There's a lot of MKUltra analysis with The Wizard of Oz.
Do you want to go into that at all?
We did.
We touched on it and how it was used as a complete program.
And I even mentioned that Monarch is in The Wizard of Oz.
It's probably where they got the name for the program.
But that kind of twisting that goes on, they say that the ultimate version is Alice in Wonderland with that.
But again, Alice in Wonderland coming from an incredibly advanced.
Mystery school Rosicrucian tradition.
And if you go back into those original Rosicrucian texts, you always see the rabbit going into the rabbit hole.
That's what you need to do.
You need to go underground to get the information.
So it is quite fascinating when you start to see these things are left as allegorical tools.
But they're very easy to twist if you are an intelligence agency acting outside of the lines of the Constitution.
And the truth is, we can't even imagine the kind of horrors.
Around MKUltra and the CIA.
There's always been a kind of plausible deniability with the CIA around that, saying, well, we didn't know what he was doing, referring to the head of the program, Gottlieb.
But then we had the head of the CIA, Richard Helms, volunteering that he had burnt most of the records at MKUltra because he didn't want people to know what they were up to.
So that's something which I would say has gone on and goes on.
So You know, in government, we need to have a way to make those people accountable.
And this is the nature of the situation we find ourselves in.
What I found out and what I've heard and talked with people about who study the subject is that a lot of MKUltra has been transformed into EMKUltra and a lot of the entrainment ability.
Candy Crush got into trouble.
And we know a lot of people got addicted to Candy Crush.
I did for a very short period of time.
But Candy Crush.
They had issues because there were people who thought they were slipping in subliminal messages while people were getting hooked on playing this game.
And you can only imagine the kind of entrainment that takes place.
And when you think about the ethics of the people behind it, you really, you know, it gives you pause.
Flying Monkeys Allegory00:15:15
That's for sure.
And always, I would say, when it comes to dealing with all these digital systems, you can see that people get twisted into a pretzel just dealing with Twitter, right?
Never mind all of these other types of things.
So definitely giving digital.
Information, a pause in life is very healthy.
Get back to your own center and then re engage with the information.
But yeah, they are out there.
EMK Ultra, yes.
I want to make sure I ask this one.
Jim Marks says the California Aero Clubs from the 1860s to 1900 at the end of Oz, the hot air balloon.
Yes.
Yeah, that's a really excellent point.
If you go into The Wizard of Oz and you really look at The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from 1900, which is the book, There is so much about flight in it.
So, you have flying monkeys who are quite terrifying.
Interestingly enough, though, in the book, the flying monkeys have a role that is they have to take you wherever you say.
So, in a way, they're just responding to the thugs that are in charge.
But in fact, anyone can control them.
So, if you say to one of those flying monkeys in the original book, you have to take me to X place, they have to take you there.
That's interesting to me.
That's also.
Giving us some idea about the world is at your command, you know.
I think that's a very important theme that's in the original book.
But you have sky riding by the witch, the witch is flying, the monkeys are flying.
Oz, he has a hot air balloon, which got him there in the first place.
The house is flying.
It's all about the air.
And a lot of it takes place from the air, if you think about it from that perspective.
So.
He is presaging the future.
He's seeing what's coming and he's trying to make this a very relevant fairy tale.
No question about it.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
This is X Series 97.
We are deep in the Wizard of Oz X Mystery School.
Coronado and the Coronado tie in with the defense contractors, but also Coronado is the inspiration for the Wizard of Oz.
What is that telling us?
Where are we going?
With that kind of a realization.
We're taking your questions now.
We're going to take some more questions, Miss Olivia.
Andy B says The flying monkeys wore West Point uniforms.
That's a trivia tidbit.
Those are scary uniforms.
They are.
They're an army.
There's a lot of weird things.
The professor, the wizard, over and over again, they show him with the name Omaha.
And he is from Omaha, Nebraska, which I think is interesting.
There's a lot of references around it, just like in the movie Outside the Castle when they go to rescue Dorothy, all the soldiers have those kind of rusty hats.
So, like, they're supposed to be Russian guards.
There are those types of things, I think, where you're getting direct references.
But what the West Point aspect would be is hard to say.
That's a really good one.
Okay.
So, David Tormina says DJ, why do you think Baum used the feminine aspect of Arman, the Wicked Witch, as the ultimate embodiment of evil?
Well, it's interesting that you mentioned that because the wizard, his name again, originally, is Oscar Zoroaster.
So that's the Persian mythology that we get the Aramon tales from.
So there is a general understanding, there's a link there in the literature.
But I think that the whole thing was really the key players were women in it.
So Dorothy, and I. You know, the heroine being Dorothy, and also considering Auntie M, the Wicked Witch, it seems like the Good Witch, the dominating characters, really, again, what's playing out is among women.
And I do feel that this goes again to Alice, and this goes again to Emma Britton, opening that up.
So we're looking at that side of.
The psyche.
This is where the drama is taking place.
So it is, it's an interesting choice.
Probably makes it unique if you think about it.
Well, I mean, if it's an initiation allegory, she would have to come up against her negative female aspect, right?
It would have to be.
And then you have Glinda representing sort of her positive potential, right?
I see Glinda, I saw her very much last night as sort of the queen of heaven.
She's sort of almost like a Mary.
Mary as Queen of Heaven archetype, right?
And she comes in and she's so heavenly, right?
There's the music that comes in with her, it is so otherworldly.
Like, you know, I mean, even more than it is, you know, Oz itself.
Well, what's fascinating about that to me is I think about David Lynch and how he has a great, you know, he's been influenced by The Witch of Oz.
And Blue Velvet has, you know, Jeffrey versus Frank.
Yes.
And Jeffrey is kind of like, I mean, he's a little older and everything, but he's kind of like Dorothy.
And Frank is kind of like the Wicked Witch in a weird way.
So it works.
There's an allegory taking place there.
But I think it is, when you go deep into it, you know, it seems to me the psychic side is the feminine side, just like it's the feminine side of a great male psychic.
So, but it seems to me that psyche, you know, and the psychic ability.
It's interesting.
If you look into the original Rudolf Steiner, Version of Atlantis, he says that women were the ones who first developed memory and that men took a little longer to do that.
So there's a deeper sense fundamentally, I think, with women around the psychic aspect.
Wow.
That's a good one, though.
I love this question.
Yes.
So, Johnny Ricardo, what comparisons would you make between the Wizard of Oz and the prisoner?
Well, yeah, there are a lot, actually.
He's in this idyllic.
But he's a prisoner inside of the village.
Prisoner has a lot of aspects that are psycho spiritual metaphors over and over again because he's taking on the role of saying, I'm a free man, not a number.
And then they laugh at him, and their whole thing is about surveilling him to the point where they can get what they want information, and he says, You won't get it.
So he's ultimately defiant while this is all playing out.
It is very much the same type of dynamic, except I would say with the prisoner, what's happening there is it's a clear battle versus good and evil at a point where he could have joined the evil.
And this is the nature of him resigning in the beginning.
But I recommend that series.
There's 19 episodes of it.
And it's Patrick McGuin, who is an incredible actor, but he also contributed to writing the scripts and getting the whole thing together.
So, the prisoner is a very good metaphor for this period of time because we cannot blindly walk into the ovens that the pharmaceutical companies set up for us.
David Donway says The prisoner, number six, was chased by giant balloons.
The Wizard of Oz escaped in a balloon.
That's true.
Well, those huge white orbs that chase after people, Rover.
Yeah, Rover, they have this roar.
So, there's a violence to them which we see in society.
If you don't, just like we see in Australia now, and we've been really feeling bad for people writing to us from Australia with all the lockdown things that they're doing, that if you commit a thought crime, if you think about stepping out of the party line, they will put you in jail.
They're creating this kind of environment just for that type of environment.
So, this is a real thing.
So, the prisoner is an incredible allegory of how that system wants to absorb you.
And if you get out of line, those orbs, rovers coming after you, and you may not survive.
So it carries with it that threat, just like these kind of stormtrooper tactics that we're seeing.
No, I mean, there's no question that whatever else we want to say about 2020, that the forces are facing off against each other.
And what they're hoping to do is consolidate and centralize and harvest the population.
So working with these metaphors, I think, helps a lot.
Yes, Ms. Olivia.
Justice Now says, how do you see the wizards?
Real role as someone who fell into this fake role by accident.
Was he there for this ultimate role as challenger slash teacher?
And Najat Madri says, Could the man behind the curtain be an alien slash Araman slash Mr. Global?
Well, it's interesting because the wizard doesn't have bad intentions.
He's a fraud.
So he is not what he pretends to be, but it's not like he's controlling the place with an iron hand.
So he did kind of fall into it.
He reminds me a lot of these middle managers that I talk about.
I think they're the people who put the ops into play, and I think there are people who get squeezed by the ops, you know, so the public gets harvested.
And that larger structure absorbs the profit of, you know, the demise of humanity.
But in the middle are all these middle managers, and I don't think that they always understand the implications of what is going on.
But what's fascinating is.
That Oz is, he falls into this role and he just assumes it and he keeps it up as long as he can do it.
But at a certain point, he gets really upset when he's watching, you know, Dorothy, or at least him as the guard, is watching Dorothy saying, Well, I can't get back home.
It's interesting because even when he's a fraud in the movie in the beginning and Dorothy comes to him, he makes up a story that will want her to go back home.
So again, he's using his hucksterism in a positive fashion, oddly enough.
And Some people have said that Frank Baum was looking at religion and thinking that people were putting too much into religion.
And that's where the belief in theosophy had come from.
And that religion was kind of playing like, I'm the big and powerful Oz, and it was actually just these little people behind the curtain.
That's kind of an incredible realization for us that the thing that everybody wants, that they think someone else can deliver for them, in fact, they already have the ability to do.
This is the greater realization.
So again, the Tin Man has a great heart.
He doesn't even want to kill a bee.
The Scarecrow has an incredible mind, and Dorothy has the power to get home by clicking her heels.
It's all the magic there in one shot that they all have the ability.
And the lion has the courage because when Dorothy is threatened, he shows incredible courage, right?
So this is the thing it's like it's latent, it's not manifested, they don't understand it.
And so, what the wizard does, which is quite interesting, is he gives them the recognition, and that's all they need.
So, it is quite remarkable a story when you go deep on that level.
Yes.
What do you think?
Well, I think it's an issue.
People have been interpreting this, and I guess this is a widely popular view, that it is an allegory about the Federal Reserve and the banking industry, gold and silver and all of this.
But this is sort of like the matrix.
A lot of people think that's about the banking system.
But I think it's more interesting to see it as an initiation ritual about self realization.
It just makes sense to me.
There's no question.
I mean, they might have been smart about the drug trade, they might have been smart about the Federal Reserve, all these things.
I mean, the Federal Reserve didn't exist in 1900, but by the time you get to the movie, it certainly has taken control.
But he understood a lot of things about farmers and how they were.
Kind of abused by the system and left out there by the government.
So there is political commentary.
And remember also that he's a writer, he's a newspaper columnist, he's very aware of the politics of the day.
So there is some aspect of politics.
But I think that what you're looking at with The Wizard of Oz is a real mystery play.
So it's like I started the show by saying, what if a mystery school was making productions and putting productions out there to move the culture?
The actual mystery school, funding it.
Putting it out there, and is that what Oz, you know, pictures was all about?
It's funny because, um, the production of Oz, you know, this company lost money, the one that he set up, and so he didn't have the expertise on the film side yet.
This thing had to come in just at the perfect time in 1939, just before World War II, coming into that, and somehow the timing was exactly right.
That's when we needed it the most.
Uh, so things sometimes come together on their own, however, it looks to me with his musicals, with his plays, um, and with his uh movies that he is trying to make mystery school productions, and just like Langley picks up the torch, uh, by moving that out with the search for Bridie Murphy and all the rest.
Venus Portal Destiny00:08:48
That is, you know, a lot of people don't know this, but.
Rudolf Steiner wrote The Portal of Initiation.
He wrote all these plays.
On the Mystery School side, they're understanding that it takes this, the story in the subconscious, to awaken certain things.
Another thing is that's interesting about pseudonyms is that Rudolf Steiner wrote theater reviews under a pseudonym for most of the time that he was running Anthroposophy.
And Frank Baum had a female pseudonym, Laura Bancroft, and Edith Van Dyne were the names that he wrote.
His famous books at the time, Aunt Jane's Nieces.
So he used female, he could write as a woman, basically.
It's pretty good.
Yes, for Sylvia.
So Melissa Buffington wants to know DJ, what does the water that kills the wicked witch mean that we need to do about Arman?
Water equals emotions would destroy or expose Arman for those who use them?
It's fascinating.
Well, water is a pure element, and her intention throwing the water was to douse the fire, and so the purity of her throwing the water melts the witch.
It's quite interesting.
I think that you have water in baptism, and there's something about holy water.
So when you get into this, water is an element that makes up, what, 90% of our system.
So there's a great power in it.
And over and over again, we see the Wicked Witch using tricks and things like that.
But she likes to use fire.
So, her destruction is by fire.
And so, what puts out a fire, really, it's water.
So, it is elements.
You're starting to get into elemental magic with it.
So, we take it into that kind of a territory.
We start to get an idea, a look at what they were really doing.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
It's X Series 97.
This is the real Wizard of Oz, the X Coronado Mystery School.
Theosophy and Frank Baum.
You would be looking at this and finding out that this is a much more powerful story than just some fairy tale that some guy made up.
This is a Mystery School informed and supported venture.
As I mentioned, over 40 people associated with it getting Casey readings, and then the screenwriter writing Ed Casey on reincarnation.
So we have the Mystery School Entertainment Division in The Wizard of Oz.
Finally, they got it out there.
We're going to take a few more of your.
Questions and also want to remind you to go to darkjournalist.com and sign up for the newsletter.
This is an important period, and we don't want to miss each other with all the vital things that are going on, but also for all the fun shows that we have coming up for you the great interviews and the fantastic events, as well as some very special, notable episodes coming up for this major two parter for episode 100 of the X series.
Guaranteed to be a barn burner.
Miss Olivia, how are you doing out there?
So, okay, I've got to ask this one.
Scarlet Fire, DJ.
So, Venus now has life in its upper atmosphere?
Yes.
Where is this info taking us?
Excellent question.
I was going to mention that, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Well, here's what they did.
This is interesting.
They've been toying around with these moons and saying, well, this moon might have life out there, the moons of Jupiter, and so on.
They've been toying around with that for about a decade and seeing what kind of response that they get.
This recent group over at MIT, which is about 10 minutes over there, they discovered an element inside of one of Venus's clouds via telescope.
This is not getting a sample and bringing it back, it's analyzing something through a telescope.
And they said that looks very much like this element, and if it is this element, then it means it's caused by something that's alive.
So any kind of life would create it.
The idea that those planets or the universe doesn't have life in it.
Is absurd and they've kept it lock, stock, and barrel.
That they would open it up with Venus, I think, is interesting considering the statements, for example, that Gigi Young has made on this program about Venus's role versus Mars' role as a portal destiny for the Earth.
That's a very esoteric cosmic view.
But if you look at the work of Rudolf Steiner in Anthroposophy, we find him talking about in esoteric terms what happened was a Mercury.
Venus switch that what they referred to in the Greeks and the Egyptians as Venus is actually Mercury, and that Mercury is Venus.
That they switched those two for some strange esoteric mystery school purpose.
So that they're using Venus as the source of life and the way to say, well, there's extraterrestrial life and it's on Venus is really interesting because somebody said Val Thor out there exactly.
Val Thor is a pretty interesting story from.
The 1950s, the late 50s, but Stranger at the Pentagon and all this stuff, which a minister came out and talked about, saying, you know, Val Thor was a Venusian visitor, came to talk to the Pentagon about not blowing the world up, basically.
But we have so many stories from that period, and everyone thinks in the 1950s that aliens are on Venus and that they're going to come here before all that just got completely wiped out.
So it's strange.
Echo, I would say, from that period.
Really strange.
And I'm very curious about it.
It seems to me whether they're playing around with the UFO file or they're playing around with this, they're trying to get something going in the media about extraterrestrial life, which would be great.
Ordinarily, I'd be very highly enthusiastic.
The only problem is the people in the media, their ethical standard has sunk so low that we can't trust anything that they say.
So that's a very schizophrenic situation for the culture.
The society to be in right now.
But wow, it is.
I mean, it's the Venus part is absolutely exciting.
Okay, I've got to ask this.
Life Hope is asking Did Kastensteiner say that we will overcome this period?
Well, I think that their general idea is that human beings bring in order or chaos, depending on their choices, and that it's a collective choice, so that we face this situation, that humanity has faced the situation before.
Because remember, in the mystery school systems, there's reincarnation.
You know, we talked about Brady Murphy and all that.
That's because there's reincarnation in those systems.
So, that idea is that all those people that were in Atlantis, those people that were in those earlier cultures that blew themselves up with advanced spiritual knowledge and technology, all come back to face the same battle again.
And that in Atlantis, the story goes from Plato, which is, by the way, history that he's recounting there.
And it was just dismissed because they didn't want to accept it because it didn't jive with their research.
He's saying that it was destroyed because they angered the gods, essentially, but that he describes the destruction of what was basically the most advanced place on Earth at the time.
So we've seen too many people talk about pole shifts and comet strikes, you know, and how these things are real, you know, how they could easily decimate a civilization like ours.
And look, how quick would it take for this civilization to unravel?
I mean, how many of these people that you see walking around on the street know anything about fundamental engineering?
You know, myself included.
There was a great thing Brian Eno said.
He's like, What was the last invention that we actually understood exactly how it worked and could reproduce it?
Hero Role Open Conflict00:02:09
And the only thing he came up with was the fountain pen.
He felt, you know, like we could do that.
But this is an important question.
So, you know, we have the ability to make the society the way we want it to be.
But you have a small contingent at the top who I think is psychopathic, and they've been making really bad choices, and they're trying to cut out the opposition to those bad choices by silencing them.
And that's where the censorship needs to be pushed back on.
When people come out and bring you the good information, you need to get behind those people.
You don't hesitate.
You do things.
You take on the hero's role yourself.
You push the right things, you go for the good things, and then you oppose.
The bad things in society.
You know, and there's always interpretations, and you always get your moment of where you need to stand up.
I feel like in society right now, it's better to have a voice and stand up and oppose, you know, the overreach.
This is the period to do it.
We saw really, and we've been seeing what the governors, for example, in America would do with just more power than they used to have.
And they would make you, you know, they would forbid you to go to church.
Hitler never dreamed of being able to prevent people from going to church.
I mean, this is a very, you know, that's an act of war.
So, this is where they've been taking this battle.
So, there's no question that Catherine Austin Fitz described it as a war.
I think she's right.
I see it as a potential open conflict.
And I think the best way to push it back is to unmask it now.
This is a good period to do it because I think that a lot of their COVID op is running out of gas.
War Against Church00:15:08
And I think they've manipulated medical data on a mass scale to consolidate power for unconstitutional reasons.
So we find ourselves in the middle of a massive.
Takeover by very hidden forces who are using a lot of middle managers.
And if we can get past the middle managers back to the people who are pulling the strings, I think we'll get the kind of realization and pushback and conversation with them saying, This is really something you don't want to do.
Put it that way.
Yes.
David Termina, this is a kind of a thread.
I find it intriguing that Albert Goodwill Spaulding, a major theosophist at Coronado was the man that brought us modern baseball and created the legend that Abner Doubleday invented baseball, and the whole story was made up.
But Abner Doubleday was also a major figure in theosophy.
The Coronado was first claimed by a Basque, after all.
Yes, and there's a lot going on with the Basque.
Well, this is interesting, though, about baseball.
Look, there's a lot of very strange things about baseball.
I remember a series of Casey readings where these people were playing baseball in the astroplane.
It's very odd stuff.
Go into that a little bit.
Well, also, of course, wasn't it David Tormina who put up the field of dreams?
Yeah, of course.
That's also one of those kind of mystery schoolish themes that was put out there.
There is something about baseball, I think, which lends itself towards a kind of.
Astral state of mind more than football or basketball, which tend to be very chaotic.
Well, the whole point of it is to go home, right?
Let's not forget.
There's a lot, a lot, a lot of stories around baseball that lend themselves towards psychic aspects.
And there's a lot of stories.
Ted Williams' story, I think, is particularly interesting that we try to bring out.
Ted Williams, of course, being a Basque.
So I absolutely agree that theosophy.
Its early influence, the Mystery School influence on games, and how that takes up so much of our consciousness.
I remember when I was younger, you know, like growing up eight, nine years old or something.
I mean, I didn't particularly like baseball, but I liked the effect of people's interest in it.
That was the way that it really stood out for me.
And I remember there's a kind of excitement to that.
I get more excited looking at like Edgar Cayce books or something, but it is true.
That we have this aspect.
A couple of good pictures here I forgot to show you earlier.
There is Madame Blavatsky bringing forward her very, very interesting Theosophical Society.
What was that about, really, now?
Let's really think what was going on with Madame Blavatsky bringing Theosophy up and the Mystery Schools going public.
That, I think, is what the X Series has been here to answer.
And what, you know, we're doing, there are so many good answers for this.
Edgar Cayce, well, He brought us a knowledge, not only that we could heal ourselves with psychic information, but he brought us all that information about Atlantis and told the best story, giving us the greatest details over a 40 year period.
And his abilities were remarkable.
And we still don't have anyone who's ever really even come close.
In the story of the Wizard of Oz, there's a lot of sleeping.
So, it's being communicated that it's taking place aspects on the astral plane, on the subconscious plane.
And that's quite an interesting place for a showdown.
This picture is Coronado, the way that Frank Baum would have seen it in his day.
A real snapshot created in 1888.
It's just a little while before he got there.
Miss Olivia, take it away.
Breach123 says the aliens on planet Serpo played a baseball type of game but could not understand why we humans have the rule that the ball cannot touch the ground.
That reminded me of this fantastic, I'm just going to say X series episode, X Files episode.
The baseball playing aliens.
Yes.
That's one of our favorites.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's an incredible episode.
I think it's sixth season?
Yeah, it's up there.
It's up there.
Um, and the unnatural, the unnatural, yeah.
They tie it in, they tie in Roswell with the baseball league, and they have an alien who crashed there joining baseball league and being incredible at it.
Um, but there are hints, I want to say this in a way that is realistic there are hints that something has come to live among us and help us out at times.
Uh, if you want to call them aliens or higher spirits, whatever they are, um.
There's too many stories about it over time.
There's too much of a theme.
And, you know, a lot of people have talked about it and said, oh, it's Pleiadians or whatever.
And I remember I told this story once or twice, but when I was talking to a psychic who was kind of in that Casey vein, he had mentioned that Pleiadians had lived among us as blacksmiths to get to know how people are.
And if you look back into those stories about the blacksmiths, they were always very mysterious.
Individuals who had worked with metallurgy and fire and all the rest.
So there is something there about the magician, the blacksmith.
There's some otherness to them.
And you can say, you know, this is part of the problem with going hardcore and just saying, what kind of alien are they?
Who are they?
Were there, you know, where's the alien technology to get them here?
It couldn't happen.
You know, we can barely get to another planet.
That's all limited thinking because whatever it is that's taking place, we've already seen so many examples of it.
People have already gone through it.
They've already seen aliens and they've been abducted by aliens.
It's happened over and over again.
So, it doesn't matter in a way what kind of conclusion we come to about how it happened.
It has happened.
So, it takes us to the other side of that equation.
And if the larger society doesn't accept it, it kind of doesn't matter.
I mean, that's how I would look at it.
Everyone, you're watching The Dark Journalist Show.
I want to remind you to go to darkjournalist.com, sign up for our newsletter.
That keeps us in touch.
And it's a free newsletter that just lets you know what shows are coming up, what great interviews we have coming up for you.
And I have to tell you, there's some incredible people coming up, and you're going to want to know about that and be the first to know, along with these fantastic, incredible shows we have coming up for you, including the grand 100th episode of the X Series, which is a two parter.
And you're not going to want to miss that, but you're going to want to be on that mailing list.
It takes two minutes to sign up, literally.
Go to the site and press the newsletter thing, your email and your name, and that's it.
And you're in.
And that way, as they've been throwing people off of YouTube and Facebook and all that stuff, large scale, you know, it's going to come for everyone eventually, unless the powers that be wise up.
But this is the kind of censorship that they've been laying down, and we should not let them get away with it.
So make sure you support this show, get behind the show, subscribe to this show, and also all the good work that's being done, which we see a lot of it on the independent side.
And almost none on the mainstream side.
It's remarkable.
Yes.
Christine Taggart.
So, was Tesla a Venusian?
The federal government thought he was.
Gigi covered this.
Do you know anything about it, DJ?
Yeah, she did a good job.
She did it.
She knows more about it than I do.
I think that they were concerned about who he was.
And I think that there's an element inside the government.
And in the work of Nick Redfern, he's covered some of this.
He's done a really good job with it at times, hasn't done too much with it lately.
But there's an aspect inside the government that thinks that aliens are among us and they pursue things that way.
They could very well be right.
But, you know, this is interesting.
We have stories that are confirmed by medical and military people and all the rest that we've had crash landings of alien craft and then we've had individuals that were in those crafts that either were alive or dead and that we examined.
That goes all the way back beyond the Roswell incident.
So we know that that has happened.
So it's not too much of a stretch to think that there's some possibility or some probability that that is something that's taken place on Earth right now.
There are very interesting stories.
We've covered them at times.
There's the story about them visiting a very high ranking general in the British Army back there in the 1950s.
And him mentioning it in his own bio.
So, there's too much of it for people just to be making things up.
You know, that's what you come to.
I've looked at it for a long time.
I can tell you that I've sat down with people over the years who've had those experiences, and it happens.
They get abducted by, and they see or view individuals that aren't like us, who are also operating inside of technology that is not like ours.
So, there are aspects to this.
You know, when someone sees a ghost, it's one kind of a stretch of reality.
And when someone sees a psychic apparition, and then the alien part is it's like another part of that realization.
So, I think that that is just something that humanity is learning about.
And unfortunately, there's no Wizard of Oz in the government who can hand it over and say, look, here's disclosure about it.
We've gotten the stories from.
Our different friends, families who have been in the military and have seen these things.
Look, unconsciously, according to the mystery schools, if you look at the work, even of people like Young or Edgar Cayce or Boboski, they say that all our minds at a certain juncture are interconnected.
So that means if someone in the military has opened up a crash saucer and seen an alien, then we all have.
This is part of the reason why there's a kind of incredulousness around it.
We're looking at it and unconsciously we know.
And it's just a matter of acting on that knowledge and integrating it.
But it doesn't have to be a political movement about the alien thing.
I never was concerned about government disclosure.
I don't like the secrecy because the secrecy has bred all of this.
It's bred an entire infrastructure.
That gives certain individuals power and access to things and leaves the public out.
So there's a classic line from Winston Churchill talking about in the 30s, they didn't want to say anything about Hitler because, you know, he might get mad at them and it might cause a war or whatever.
And Churchill's attitude was tell the people, you know, we have to know things in order to process the information and make the best decision.
Nobody is as smart as all of us.
That's just the fact.
So, for someone to be on a power trip and think, like, well, I know about the alien thing and this group can control it, and Lockheed Martin is going to run it and they're going to use the technology to control humanity, you know, that's kind of a sick thing.
And for them to kill to protect it is even sicker.
Just look at the X Protect documentary.
So, you know, this is a real question that we can grow on in the culture and in society.
And you don't grow in that way by accepting.
Like weird CIA ops as UFO disclosure, like TTSA and that kind of nonsense.
We really have to show things like that up to get to the real stuff.
I don't think there's any question about it.
Yes, Miss Olivia.
Ann Payne, isn't the Human Genome Project a way to decode aliens among us?
That sounds very much like what Dr. Joseph Farrell would say.
I'll tell you, a long time ago, I had a conversation with Joseph.
And he was talking.
We were talking about the machines that they were starting to use.
Do you remember all the way back in the 9 11 repression?
That almost seems like the good old days when they had the TSA and the TSA would x ray everyone, and some people didn't want to go through the machines.
They had those weird pat downs.
It still happens today, but it was really new back then.
And one of the things that Joseph said was that he felt, after looking at all this information, there were other ways to do this.
And that he felt that they were looking literally for certain types of anatomy, meaning a stranger among us.
And some of that line of thinking explains so much.
About how they've been behaving, which is inexplicable on a certain level.
You know, we have to vaccinate everybody now.
And if you don't, you're going to a detention center, a re education center.
Election Backup Plan00:06:11
You know, that's what Australia is doing.
It's trying to be the mirror.
You know, like, hey, we're the bullseye in Australia and this will spread to other countries.
You know, I mean, this is really, you think about it and you understand that really fundamentally it's the crown.
That runs Australia.
Don't let anyone tell you anything, but.
And that means that that huge lockdown going on in Australia is being orchestrated by the crown.
So, what are they after?
This is where my head goes with this.
And it's interesting with something the president just announced that we're going to have 1776 education.
Right on.
Yes.
Well, see, this is exactly right.
And everyone jumped up and down.
And said, How dare someone try to be patriotic?
That's how bad things have gotten.
It is.
You mentioned 1776, and they lose it.
You can't mention Jesus in school anymore.
And now they're going to take away your independence.
You can't do it.
Look, whoever devised the COVID operation as the world takeover was in error.
They were going to get pretty far, and it's pretty horrible the progress that they've made.
But the level of thinking that they thought they could get away with, it was an overreach and it's coming back on them.
But they might think they're doing really well because if you look at those numbers and if you look at Bezos and if you look at these different billionaires, they've been making incredible profits.
Zuckerberg, Bezos, all those guys are a lot better for the centralization and for forcing people into certain types of behavior.
So, you know, we're in an interesting situation where.
I think the things that we do, say, over the course of the next 18 months will, just like in World War II, will decide a great deal of what happens in the next coming decades.
So we find ourselves right at that pivot point.
And there's certainly reason to have some optimism about that because there's a lot of great people about it who are exposing it.
And there's a great force of humanity that, It's just fundamentally will not accept that kind of control.
You know, it was that Star Trek episode where they say, Oh, we found out that your species has a unique hatred of slavery, even when it's beneficent.
Well, it's the cage, right?
It's the title of the episode.
Yes.
That's definitely where I'm headed on that.
Yes, Ms. Olivia.
Okay, final question.
Ed Kaufman Does DJ think there's going to be an October surprise, and what is it going to be?
Yes.
Well, the October surprise is something that happens just before the election to spin it in one way or another.
So, on the Democrat side, they could try a lot of social unrest.
They've already tried it, and they might have burned themselves out.
And that's not like people who are Democrats, those are like the Democrat political thugs I'm talking about.
And then on the Trump side, what they're trying to do are these major foreign policy achievements.
So, they're saying, hey, we've got Israel sitting down with the UAE.
And we're going to draw Kuwait in, and he's going to come out as the big peacemaker foreign policy guy.
You know, he can ride on his record to victory if he can keep the emphasis there on what he's accomplished.
And the Democrats, their strategy, the Democratic Party strategy, the people behind it, is chaos will get us what we want because we can't get it through traditional channels.
They don't want to wait out another four years of the Trump administration.
That is the.
Pivot point that we're at.
But you could see something dramatic.
Look, even the Ruth Bader Ginsburg thing is very unexpected, and it's happening in that window between now and November 3rd.
They have all of these Soros influenced judges who are saying, oh, we can take the election out further.
We can have the election on November 3rd, but then declare it a month later or something.
No.
It doesn't work that way.
Joy Ann Dwyer says, Did you hear both Harris and Biden talk about the Harris Biden administration?
Yes.
That was quite a slip.
No question about it.
I think that they set that ticket up.
I still think there's something weird about the ticket.
I don't feel that ticket going over the finish line as that ticket come November 3rd.
There's still something weird that's going to, I don't know if they're going to pretend that Joe has COVID and she has to take over or whatever, but I still have a problem imagining.
Biden on the stage with President Trump September 29th, which is coming up 11 days from now.
So it's a week from next Tuesday.
Can you picture this?
I mean, Biden really can't even tie his shoes.
So it's a really strange situation.
I've said that there's something in there.
They have some ticket set up as a backup plan.
It's getting pretty late in the ballgame for them to use it, but you might see the October surprise might be a different candidate at the top of the Democratic ticket.
Do you think it's going to be Hillary?
No.
Okay.
Well, I will say, John Kerry clearly had some work done.
He's got a lot of Botox and filler, and he's like ready to go.
Well, Kerry, I'm telling you, Kerry has been out there.
He is Biden's main man in the background.
Subscribers Make It Happen00:05:53
Don't ever forget.
He's also a skull and bones man.
I feel that Kerry is at least their go to person if they need him.
So there's definitely an October surprise in the air.
Let's face it, it's going to be a fascinating ride all the way up to November 3rd.
And we're going to make it through there.
And it's going to be quite, it's going to set up next year quite dramatically, whatever goes down.
But it's something, of course, we're going to watch very closely in this show.
We're going to have some election episodes in October.
I have some political experts focused just on that to make sure everyone gets enough info to figure out how to vote.
Everyone, we did the X Series 97 Wizard of Oz with all of you.
