Has anyone ever heard of Gull Island Alaska oil fields described by Lindsey Williams. Do you think he's just a crackpot or is he telling the truth?


"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."

So we destroy one of the few remain wilderness areas left in the world.

Awesome

[stonecutter]

Not only that, but imagine what processing and consuming all that extra fossil fuel will do to the atmosphere and our environment (which is also why I'm against the raping and pillaging of northern Alberta's oil sands, all 174 billion barrels' worth). It's high time we move away from fossil fuels altogether. The technology is there; I hope market forces will at least provide the impetus to make the switch if ethics/foresight don't.

[Hilbert]

It's no secret that we have tons of oil, we just don't use it. Though both keeping it where it is and making immediate use of it have their advantages and disadvantages; really depends on who you ask as to whether we should make immediate use of it or not.

[Createdeemcee]

I think we are trying to use up everyone else's oil before ours. Also, so we can use it and China can't. Keep their thirsty tanks from drinking it.

Smart if you ask me.

And if we were truely smart we would sway from oil alltogether, Like two posts up the tech is there.

Oh yeah?

[Albatross]

Get to drilling, drill that thing til its dry.

[Createdeemcee]

Oh yeah?

.....

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!

Gee, isnt that what everyone said about the pipeline back in the 70's?

Heard this on the news this morning:

If Chuck Norris said we should drill, should we?

Congress, Get Off Your Gas, and Drill By Chuck Norris

Last Thursday, oil prices increased $5.50 per barrel in one day. Last Friday marked the biggest single-day surge in oil price history, rocketing $11 more to $138 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In just two days, oil costs increased 13 percent.
Average Americans literally are driving to the poorhouse on financial fumes. With gas at $4 per gallon, roughly two cars in every household, and the average annual gas usage at 700 gallons, you do the math. Americans are being forced to use their hard-earned money that once put food in their stomachs to put petroleum in their tanks and to drive the exact same distances they drove a decade ago for four to five times the price.
As oil and gas prices skyrocket, Congress continues to play the blame game. In April 2006, with the Democrats poised to take over Congress with Nancy Pelosi at the helm, she released a statement saying, "With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress." She followed that with a commitment, "Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging." So, has the Democrats' common-sense plan worked? Average gas prices were about $2.50 a gallon at the time. Now they're $4 a gallon and rising. Some crackdown plan.
Look at the energy chaos that our government has allowed. While we remain at the mercy of oil companies, cartels and OPEC, our government has tied the hands of states and citizens to tap even temporary energy relief from our own land. Here are a few key vistas on the oil and energy landscape:
-- Though we have more oil in the shale of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming than there is in the Middle East (800 billion barrels), liberals and environmentalists have made it illegal to touch it.
-- It's illegal to drill in northern Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or off the coasts of Florida or California.
-- It's illegal to explore the Atlantic Ocean for oil.
-- It's illegal to explore the Pacific Ocean for oil.
-- We're not receiving leases anymore to drill in the Gulf of Mexico, while China, Venezuela and Cuba are.
-- We haven't built an oil refinery in more than 30 years and have reduced in half those we have.
-- American airlines are in danger of going out of business.
-- American truckers are being stranded on the sides of roads.
-- American commuters are going bankrupt trying to travel back and forth to work and are being forced to work locally for lower wages.
-- There's enough natural gas beneath America (406 trillion cubic feet) to heat every home in America for the next 150 years, but we can't tap it all.
-- We have the largest supply of coal in the world, but it's Germany who is planning to build 27 coal-fired power plants by 2020.
-- Etc.!
Bill Clinton once said, "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren." That is the type of mentality that got us in this trouble. We're saving the planet but killing our economy and nation.
Congress needs to take some practical steps now to stop the insanity at the pumps, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, open up some temporary energy production avenues for economic relief (such as shale development), and focus more on developing alternative energy (coal, natural gas, hydrogen, solar, nuclear, wind, etc.). There is simply no reason or justification for us to be dependent on foreign fuels that we can produce in our country.
If you're sick and tired of giving away $2 of every gallon of gas to foreign dictators -- making other oil-producing countries, cartels and tycoons rich beyond their imagination -- and watching the federal government flail for energy solutions and bow to international powers -- all of whom are sucking the very life out of the American people, economy and threatening national security -- I implore you to sign and pass along the petition at Newt Gingrich's "American Solutions for Winning the Future" Web site (www.AmericanSolutions.com). We're hoping to send millions of signatures to Congress demanding an immediate emergency session and resolution to our economic and national security crisis revolving around soaring oil and gas prices.
Our message: It's time to drill here and drill now! The petition is simple. It states, "We, therefore, the undersigned citizens of the United States, petition the U.S. Congress to act immediately to lower gasoline prices (and diesel and other fuel prices) by authorizing the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries."
Speaking of unstable countries, did I mention that Iraq's oil minister just reported oil production is at prewar levels (2.5 million barrels a day), yielding earnings for Iraq of $28.5 billion in just the first five months of this year? What that means is soon we likely will be dependent and in debt to yet another Middle Eastern oil-producing country that we've helped stabilize and become wealthy while ours is going straight down the tubes.
Congratulations, Congress; you're failing us completely.

I see Townhall are trying to make themselves even more of a joke than they already are, but getting Chuck Norris's response to the crisis is a little sad.

After googling Gull Island, I'm of the opinion that the entire thing is a fabrication. It only seems to exist on tinfoil hat type websites - and I could find no reference to it at all on anything that's reputable. I even found an article on cnn that talked about how oil exploration is booming again in Alaska...and no mention of Gull Island. You can't beat a perp or build a decent nude human pyramid without somebody getting it on video...if there was anything to Gull Island I doubt very much it could be so effectively hidden.

However, if it did exist, I would recommend raping the living sh*t out of the land, and getting that oil. California's coast was once covered in oil derricks -long before we had today's technology, and it's a pristine wonderland today.

[WhiskeyTango]

It seems Chuck has a lull in fighting crime and has moved on to the political arena...

The commercial made me laugh as he states we should "quit worrying about the spotted owl"...etc. A hard sell especially in my neck of the woods (Oregon). I don't know what the answer is as most of the change we need is decades away, but I'm with 2sheds, lets rape it if its there.

BTW Sheds, your posts always crack me up!

[Gfunk]

Get to drilling. All of you with your "we need to move away from oil now" comments must live in a fantasy world or a city where you don't need cars to live your life. Unfournately I live in one of America's many burbs where everything and anything is a 20 minute drive away. "Get away from oil." Great idea, but how am I getting to work tomorrow?

I once spent a pretty good amount of web surfing trying to get to the bottom of this. What I found out was that this Lindsay guy seems to make his living from travelling around the country and giving speeches on the subject. He seems to have honed his speeches on the subject to a perfection, but there where some claims he was making that made his speeches seem more on the league with Da Vinci code than a real theory.

Having said that, I would love to see someone make a documentary on the subject. Go to the area near Gull Island and try to find out about the supposed capped wells. If there is any truth to the story, I imagine he could not get anywhere near them.. Lindsays story is that supposedly they did drill wells and the oil pressure and quality of oil on the wells was comparable to Saudi Arabias biggest oil fields. Then a day later the well was capped and he was instructed not to tell anyone what he had seen the day before.

Supposedly the guys who had done the drilling were kicked upstairs and were made to sign ndas about the whole issue.
