The Wizard of Oz, as metaphor for the corrupt...

evolution of the banking system. Google the topic. From the fall of the Roman Empire, through the feudal millennium, and onto scams such as endless growth, monetization, the federal reserve, with holding and federal income taxes, silver certificates, a gold standard, historical and more recent depressions/recessions, ditching the Glass-Steagall Banking act, petro dollars, wars for capitalism, and lots more.

Yep, it's easy to be too limited in our understanding of what's called intelligence. And we've not even begun to discuss the "paranormal".
