1974 - The pipline through Wyoming (USA)

In 1974, Mr. Lindsey Williams returned to Alaska at the 'Prudhoe Bay Facility'. He told his friend Mr.X about what he saw while in America.

Lindsey Williams: “Mr. X, let me relate to you what I saw in Wheatland, Wyoming, just a few weeks ago. There was a pipeline going from West to East across the Rockies, on the property of a friend of mine. I was riding the range with him in the Fall of 1972 on roundup and the pipeline was flowing full speed ahead, with all pumps going. The following year of 1973, in the Fall, there was supposed to be an energy crisis, and I found that the pipeline going across the Rockies, one of the main West-East pipelines, had been closed down. In 1974, the pumps were not running, and at that time the man who managed that 32,000-acre ranch told me that the oil companies had told him that they had been ordered to close down that pipeline by the Federal government. Mr. X, if there is as much oil at Prudhoe Bay as in all Saudi Arabia, as you have stated, and if there really is an energy crisis, why was that cross-country pipeline through Wyoming closed down? You must know something about it.”

To which Mr. X. replied: “Chaplain, I will try to be honest with you today, and I hope it doesn’t get any of us in trouble. We are both Christian men, and we can only tell the truth. We, as oil companies, were ordered by the Federal government in 1973 to close down certain cross country pipelines and to reduce the output of our refineries in certain strategic points of America for the purpose of creating an energy crisis. That really began the first of the control of the American people.”

An Important Visit By Senator Hugh Chance - Shut Down That Pipeline

During the summer of 1975, Senator Hugh Chance visited Lindsey Williams on the pipeline in Alaska.

Over the course of three days, Senator Chance was at Prudhoe Bay, where, once again he was given a tour of the oil field and it's facilities. Because of his position in government, he was given an extensive tour. All questions that he asked were readily answered by the oil company executive conducting the tour.
Senator Chance was taken everywhere he requested to go and was shown all data that he asked to see.

The Prudhoe Bay oil field, from which crude oil is presently being produced, was explained in detail, and the entire North Slope of Alaska was discussed.

At a drill site, Senator Chance asked for more technical data and by the time he and Lindsey Williams returned that afternoon, they were totally astonished at what we had seen and heard.

Senator Chance had been taken to places that even Lindsey Williams, the Chaplain, had not previously been allowed to go.

Chaplains, after about nine months on the Pipeline, were then given executive privileges and were allowed an executive dormitory and were also allowed to see certain things that others could not.

Lindsey Williams said to the Senator, “Surely a government official would not lie to us about the energy crisis.” Senator Chance answered, “Chaplain Lindsey, we were told something about the Prudhoe Field, and we were told that there was an energy crisis. Today I have found out that there is no energy crisis.”

Senator Chance asked Mr. Lindsey Williams to arrange a another interview with Mr. X.

The next day, when Lindsey Williams contacted Mr. X and told him that the Senator would like to talk to him again, he said, “By all means. I’ll have some time this afternoon, and I’ll be glad to give you as much time as you need.”

That afternoon Senator Chance and Lindsey Williams walked into the office of Mr. X at Atlantic Richfield’s facility and Senator Chance began to ask questions. Mr. X was at first a little reluctant to answer the questions, and then the Senator said, “Sir, I want to ask you these questions as a gentleman to a gentleman. I would appreciate very much your direct answers. I promise you that the answers you give will be answers that I would like to use in trying to wake up the American people.”

Senator Chance went on asking questions. He asked, “Mr. X, what is it that the Federal government is out to do? Why is it that they are not allowing the oil companies to develop the entire North Slope of Alaska? Why is it that private enterprise cannot get this oil out? Mr. X, will you please tell me the whole story?”

Mr. X said, “Senator Chance, there is no energy crisis! There is an artificially produced energy crisis, and it is for the purpose of controlling the American people. You see, if the government can control energy, they can control industry, they can control an individual, and they can control business. It is well known that everything relates back to crude oil.”

The Senator then asked, “Would you please tell me what you yourself think is going to happen?”
Mr. X answered, “Yes, by Federal government imposing regulations, rules, and stipulations, they are going to force us as oil companies to cut back on production, and not to produce the field. Through that they will produce an energy crisis. Over a period of years the intention is that we will fall so far behind in production that we will not have the crude oil here in America, and will be totally dependent on foreign nations for our energy. When those foreign nations cut off our oil, we as Americans will be helpless.The intention is to create this crisis over a period of time.”

Senator Chance asked, “Mr. X, if you developed the entire North Slope of Alaska as private enterprise what would happen?”

Mr. X looked at the Senator and answered simply, “If we as oil companies were allowed to develop the entire North Slope oil field, that is the entire area north of the Brooks Range in Alaska, producing the oil that we already know is there, and if we were allowed to tap the numerous pools of oil that could be tapped (we are tapping only one right now), in five years the United States of America could be totally energy free, and totally independent from the rest of the world as far as energy is concerned. What is more, sir, if we were allowed to develop this entire field as private enterprise, within five years the United States of America could balance payments with every nation on the face of the earth, and again be the great nation which America really should be. We could do that if only private enterprise was allowed to operate freely, without government intervention.”

The Senator was obviously very angry, and he looked back at Mr. X and said, “Sir, in light of all that you’ve told me, you’ve set me thinking today that after being a State Senator for four years, I would like to know something. Sir, will you please tell me what you think the American government is out to do?”

It was at that point that Mr. X revealed his, opinion that the government was out to declare American Telephone and Telegraph a monopoly, and secondly, to nationalize the oil companies.

Senator Chance almost gasped at that point and asked, “You mean to tell me that you’re convinced that the Federal government is out to nationalize the oil companies?”

Mr. X said that was so, in his opinion, and that the Federal government would continue to put such rules and stipulations on the oil companies until fuel prices would go sky high.

This, according to Lindsey Williams, was a conversation which happened in 1975. Already Mr. X was predicting over $1.00 a gallon at a time when the American people were reluctantly paying something like 50 cents a gallon.

Mr. X told the Senator and Lindsey Williams that the Federal government would force oil prices to over $1.00 a gallon, and in doing so would make the oil companies look like villains, and the American people would request the Federal government to nationalize the oil companies.

Senator Chance had another question to ask, “Mr. X, if you’re convinced that the Federal government is out to nationalize the oil companies, undoubtedly you have a target date?”

Mr. X said, “Yes, Senator, we do. As oil companies we have already calculated that with present government controls and regulations, we as oil companies can remain solvent until 1982.”
Those were Mr. X’s exact words. ~ Lindsey Williams

The Senator said, “Sir, I’m amazed at what I’ve heard, because it falls in line with what I’ve believed for years, in what the Federal government and its agencies are really attempting to do to the American people.”

According to Lindsey Williams, Senator Chance was obviously very upset. In the dormitory room later that day, he said that when he went to the lower 48 states he would attempt to have somebody publish the truth of this matter and use it in their election campaign.

He wrote a personal letter to Ronald Reagan and received a personal reply—Senator Chance wanted Ronald Reagan to go to the North Slope of Alaska and see the truth as he had seen it, and make the energy crisis a major platform in his campaign. He believed that if he did so, he would be elected.

Ronald Reagan wrote back to Senator Chance and said, “Sir, I’d like to, but I don’t have the time—my schedule will not permit.” Senator Chance attempted to get others to know the truth about the Prudhoe Bay oil field and the fact that there was no true energy crisis, while something could still be done before the created crisis became even more severe. It was artificially produced, but many of the American people were becoming convinced that there really was an oil crisis, while the oil companies themselves were constantly being hamstrung.

By creating an artificially induced energy crisis, the American people in large numbers became convinced that our energy really was short. In Wyoming, the oil was available, but the pipe was shut down.
