Alaska’s Gull Island Oil Fields Could Power U.S. for 200 Years
By Mark Anderson
“Crude
oil is the real ‘currency’ of the world,”
said Lindsey Williams at a
gathering of the Midwest Concerned Citizens group in Kansas City on
July 22. But Americans will never hear about huge oil and gas reserves
in the United States, which, if ever tapped, would bring
today’s fuel
prices at least as low as $1.50 per gallon and make America more energy
independent.
As a Baptist missionary in the 1970s, Williams said
he rubbed elbows with members of the world’s power
elite—who boasted of
detailed 30-year and 50-year plans to control the flow of oil and
information.
A huge quantity of crude oil and natural gas exists
under Gull Island, located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, says
Williams. He cited key British Petroleum memoranda and related the
statements of upper echelon oil officials who told him that Gull Island
would be kept under wraps, limiting domestic supplies so Americans
would someday see prices hit up to $10 a gallon at the pump.
“Every
issue in the world today relates to crude oil,” said
Williams. The U.S.
occupation of Iraq and the saber rattling about attacking Iran fit into
the crude oil matrix.
Iran is being targeted because it’s one of
several countries that want to use their own currencies for oil sales,
rather than using the U.S. dollar. Williams told AFP that any country
that doesn’t want to “play ball” with the
U.S. government and the
financial and oil interests is, in essence, put on a hit list.
The
United States, he said, learned that Iran intended to form its own
bourse and not use the dollar for oil sales. Therefore, the notion that
Iran is a menacing “almost-nuclear” country was
trumped up, presented
as fact via the corporate media and Iran is now in the crosshairs.
Other nations wanting more independence from U.S. meddling include
Norway, Venezuela, Nigeria, Bolivia, Sweden and Russia.
The
30-year plan, which was first proposed three decades ago and is nearing
fruition, included smug assurances from oil officials that the United
States will triple its crude-oil usage and alternative fuels will not
be allowed to gain enough ground to make a difference. They also noted
that all foreign oil production will be scaled back to the United
States and that Americans soon will pay $4 to $5 a gallon at the pump
and could pay as much as $7 to $10 down the road.
In the early
1960s crude oil was selected as a tool of world control, Williams said,
adding, “What we pay at the gas pump is a form of
taxation.” The
American consumer’s dependence on crude oil thus far has
enabled people
from foreign oil-producing nations to buy T-bills (U.S. treasury notes)
in order to support the U.S. national debt and continued deficit
spending. The need to support that debt puts the U.S. government in a
bind, forcing Americans to remain dependent on foreign oil.
Williams,
as a chaplain in 1970 when the trans-Alaskan oil pipeline was finished,
ministered among the pipeline workers. However, as time passed he made
a favorable impression with the top brass and was asked to improve
worker-company relations. Next thing he knew, he said he was sitting at
meetings of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and various
meetings of oil executives over a three-year period.
He told AFP
that the IMF-World Bank acts as a middleman between oil producing
nations and refineries. In so doing, they set oil prices, he said.
The
big event in that three-year period was in 1977 when an Atlantic
Richfield oil executive told him, “We have just drilled into
the
largest pool of oil in North America—[and] in the
world!”
That
pool was Gull Island. It was said that there was enough natural gas to
supply America for 200 years. But to this day, “not one
drop” of that
oil has been released to American refineries, Williams said.
Williams
said the executive had warned him that the Gull Island find was highly
classified. Do not repeat any of this, he was told. Obviously, that
warning did not stop him.
