He is of Oz, but not a wonderful wizard is he

 You probably heard of “The Wizard of Oz,” which is a film adaptation of Frank Baum’s 1939 children story “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” and heard of Dr. Mehmet Oz, the 2022 supposed medical doctor-cum-politician, and have wondered if there exists a relationship between the two Ozes. Well, let me assure you: there is no relation between those two.


Whereas the Wizard of Oz represented Middle America, a decent and down-to-Earth — warts and all moderate Republic that was struggling to become perfect — Mehmet Oz now represents what America has instead become, a menace to all life forms which are still ubiquitous on Planet Earth. But for how much longer?

 

It so happened that during the decades separating the two moments, much had unfolded that exposed the darkest side of the human nature, causing human beings of all stripes to behave — not as the Almighty had intended them to behave — but as the destructive Satan intended for them to be. Instead of rejecting the ways of Satan, the fickle humans drank from Satan’s Kool-Aid, and became even more destructive than anyone could have ever imagined.

 

Unfortunately, the condition of horror that ensued — one that Frank Baum had warned against — materialized faster than the Heavens were equipped to catch and halt. The net result has been, not only the amount of visible destruction of “men and materiel” that can be observed, but the destruction of the good nature that the Almighty had intended to implant in everyone of us — his children.

 

By the end of the horror (circa the mid-twentieth century, it proved that “Good and Evil” were of equal force, and were at each other’s throats in their war to conquer and recruit human souls into their respective folds. This is ongoing at this moment, and whereas many of the humans are moving into the fold of Heaven, others are moving into the domain of Satan.

 

You must have guessed by now in which direction so-called Dr. Mehmet Oz is moving. But how can we judge other human beings without first establishing parameters that delineate the limits of what we judge them by? This being a good question, we must first attempt to answer it, and then proceed with our judgment. Here is a contribution that aims to do just that:

 

Because we are all born “tabula rasa,” we must admit that we cannot assess someone by comparing them with someone or something else in our empty minds. What we can do, however, is compare them with someone or something that already exists. Here is what we do in practice: We look at the worst cases in which Satan has triumphed, and label them the way that their authors baptized them. Thus, we have criteria which are happy calling themselves Fascist, Nazi, Communist and what have you. And so, we do them the honor of accepting their labeling of what they say they are..

 

 We go a step further and inject a little of the humanity that the Almighty deposited in us by showing these people that despite the destructive force they represent, we still believe they can be rehabilitated, thus choose the correct path rather than remain where damnation has placed them eternally. What we do is introduce them to the concept of seeing a silver-lining in every apparent lost cause. We do that by telling them there are shades of the destructive force they represent, which means that it is not a given they are irredeemably evil. This being the case, they can be semi-Fascist, semi-Nazi, semi-Communist and what have you … and go from there to becoming fully rehabilitated.

 

Has this been done before? From the murmuring sounds coming out the Satanic Republican Party where the iconic Mehmet Oz lives the comfortable life, protests were heard to the effect that President Joe Biden of the United States of America dared to take the first step toward rehabilitating those whom Satan had managed to snatch and pull into his fold. It is that the President had called a damned soul by the name it chose for itself: A semi-Fascist, He did so perhaps aiming to coax it to go all the way and become a virtuous and constructive human being. Let us join the effort.

 

But given the current state of the world, can the effort spent to accomplish this task bear fruit? The answer is yes, and I vouch for it. Here is my story:

 

I have been in hospital on and off, and then on again during the last 2 weeks or so. While there, I met human beings who call themselves orderlies, nurses, pharmacists and doctors. I could not understand why they still call themselves by these names when in reality they have ascended to the level of angels and cherubim who deserve to live in the sphere of eternal bliss.

 

What hit me like a lightening bolt was the attitude demonstrated by Mehmet Oz when his office mocked Fetterman, suggesting that the Governor would not have had a stroke if he adhered to a healthier diet. More precisely, the Oz said that “If John Fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn't have had a major stroke and wouldn't be in the position of having to lie about it constantly”.

 

This attitude can never be accepted from people who profess to belong in the medical profession. But because there is a bad apple in every basket, we resign ourselves to this reality and do what we can to spread the lesson that President Joe Biden dared to spread when he took the first crucial step toward rehabilitating those whom Satan had managed to snatch and pull into his fold. It is that the president called the damned soul by the name it chose for itself: A semi-Fascist … perhaps aiming to coax it to move all the way to the contemporary nirvana, and become a virtuous as well as a constructive human being.

 

Joe Biden has done it, so can everyone that wants it to be.
