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.
