Norman D. Livergood elaborates on the new U.S. -
British Oil Imperialism, as well as other lesser known
important aspects of history that may be somewhat
surprising at www.hermes-press.com/impintro1.htm.
Imperialistic militarism is led by those who think
themselves above accountability for their actions and
obscenely rich people are using political, economic,
and military force to drive Americans into a society
of two classes, the very wealthy and the poor.

The New U.S. -British Oil Imperialism
****************************************
The American and British ruling circles have been
engaged in a policy of military imperialism for
several centuries. The American revolution was fought
to bring the United States under new, non-British
rulers, with the new regime sold to the public as a
democracy. In the twentieth century, these American
ruling elites have revolved around the Rockefeller,
Brown, Harriman, and Morgan family dynasties. The Bush
family, beginning with Prescott Bush, have served as
satraps of the Rockefeller, Brown, and Harriman
interests.
------------------------------------------------------
As we've seen, in earlier articles on these
imperialistic rulers (Part 1, Part 2), the British and
American ruling cabals decided that the energy of
choice for the world would be oil and natural gas (not
coal)--just as the drugs of choice would be alcohol
and tobacco.
-------------------------------------------------------
To overcome the problem of his oil holdings being
broken apart by the U.S. government in 1911, John
Rockefeller set out to control the world's energy
reserves. World War I was the strategy of the world
oil cartel (Standard, Shell, British Petroleum) to
take over the colonies of France, Holland, Spain and
Portugal. The engines of war now ran on
petroleum-based products, so ownership of oil could
now determine who won or lost a war--therefore who
would rule the world. Oil, instead of gold, became the
token of power. 
-------------------------------------------------------
By 1919, the Oil Empire, not based on countries or
nations, but on private corporations, now ruled the
world. 
-------------------------------------------------------
The Big Three oil cartel, which controlled oil in the
Persian Gulf and southeast Asia areas, wanted to gain
control over the vast oil reserves in the southern
part of the Soviet Union. They financed the fascist
regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan with the hope
that they would invade and control Russia. The Oil
Rulers planned to defeat the German, Italian, and
Japanese regimes and take control of the oil reserves
in the Soviet Union. The Rockefeller circle also
planned to take control of Persian Gulf oil from the
British-Persian Oil cartel and seize control of
southeast Asian oil from Royal Dutch Shell.
-------------------------------------------------------
The United States was brought into the second world
war when in July 1941, President Roosevelt signed an
embargo to stop all shipping to Japan. This was said
to be in retaliation for the recent Japanese invasion
of French Indo-China. Roosevelt's U.S. embargo cut off
the Japanese oil supply, which would have quickly shut
down Japan's entire economy. In late November 1941 the
Japanese sent a written "war warning" through
diplomatic channels to Washington, demanding that the
embargo be stopped, or else American sites in the
Pacific would be attacked in retaliation. That formal
diplomatic warning was ignored and the U.S. made no
reply. Just two weeks later the Japanese bombed the
American embargo ships located in Pearl Harbor.
-------------------------------------------------------
In 1939 and '40, the Germans and Italians did not
attack Russia as the Big Three had planned. Instead,
German General Rommel rushed across North Africa to
grab the Suez Canal and control all oil shipping
through the canal. Rommel then planned to drive
through to Persia and toss out the British from the
British-Persian oil fields. Meanwhile, after a failed
attack on Russia in 1939, the Japanese swept through
Southeast Asia and seized all the oil holdings of
Royal Dutch Shell. With the defeat of Japan in 1945,
most of those Royal Dutch fields came under the
control of Rockefeller's Standard Oil.
-------------------------------------------------------
Hitler had planned to capture the oil fields in
Romania by 1939 so Germany would have its own supply
of oil. This was accomplished. Then Rommel was to have
captured the oil fields in Persia by 1941,the oil
fields in Russia in 1942. Only then would Hitler have
sufficient fuel for prosecuting a war with the United
States. But less than a week after the Pearl Harbor
attack, the Japanese convinced Hitler to declare war
on the United States. Hitler agreed only if the
Japanese would attack Russia, since German troops were
now bogged down in Russia and Hitler would gain
strategic advantage if the Russians had to defend
themselves from Japan on their eastern flank. When the
Japanese failed to attack Russia, Hitler was driven
out of Russia and now was without a fuel source. The
Romanian oil fields in Ploesti were insufficient for
Germany to carry on a war on two fronts, and Germany's
war effort began to collapse.
-------------------------------------------------------
The last major German campaign was the Battle of the
Bulge, in which Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt was
to attack the invading allies with his tanks, then
capture the Allied fuel dumps. This would stop the
American and British forces and obtain the necessary
fuel for Germany to continue its war effort. But
General Eisenhower ordered the Allied fuel dumps
burned and Germany was defeated.
-------------------------------------------------------
At the end of World War II, the British-Persian Oil
Company controlled the vast oil fields in Iran. The
Persians had declared their alignment with Adolf
Hitler's Nazi "Aryan Race" movement and were fully
expecting German General Rommel to come rushing across
Africa and "free" them from the British. They had even
proclaimed their alignment with Hitler by changing the
name of their country from Persia to "Aryan," (or
"Iran" in the Farsi language), but the Germans failed
to save them. 
-------------------------------------------------------
To take control of Persian Gulf oil from the British,
in 1954 Kermit Roosevelt, nephew of Franklin, led an
American CIA coup to take control of Iran and place in
power the American-backed Shah of Iran. The Shah
expelled the British, and Rockefeller's Standard Oil
now had control of the British-Persian petroleum
fields. 
-------------------------------------------------------
In the early 1950s, Occidental Petroleum's Armand
Hammer, a satrap of the Rockefellers, negotiated a
deal with Russian dictator Joseph Stalin to buy his
oil--thus effectively stealing it from the Russian
people. Russian oil was then sold on the world market
at a much higher price than Stalin could get by
marketing it himself, because few countries were
willing to buy oil from Stalin. 
-------------------------------------------------------
Occidental Petroleum and Russia built two large
pipelines, from the Russian oil fields down along both
sides of the Caspian Sea, terminating in the old
British-Persian--now Standard Oil--oil fields in Iran.
For the next 45 years, Russia secretly sent its oil
out through those pipelines and Standard Oil sold the
oil on the world market at the "West Texas Crude"
price by calling it Iranian oil. For almost fifty yeas
most Americans have been using Russian oil in their
cars. 
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard Oil refineries, which produce gasoline from
crude oil, are located at large sea ports like San
Francisco, Houston or Los Angeles, not near any of the
large American oil fields. Most oil from the Persian
Gulf is shipped in oil tankers to those large American
refinery-ports.
-------------------------------------------------------
In 1979, the Standard Oil-backed Shah of Iran was
thrown out by a British-backed coup and the long-time
British asset, Ayatollah Khomeni, put into power. The
flow of Russian oil through Iran suddenly stopped.
Other oil pipelines were constructed through Iraq and
Turkey. The Russian oil was now called OPEC
Arabian-Middle Eastern oil and marketed at the even
higher "spot market" price. So in 1979, in America and
Europe, we suddenly experienced gasoline shortages and
huge increases in the price of gasoline. Also in 1979
Standard Oil-Russian oil interests tried to secure an
alternate, short, safe oil pipeline route from Russia
through neighboring Afghanistan, but this only
resulted in a prolonged war and the project was
abandoned. 
-------------------------------------------------------
When the new British-controlled regime in Iran came
into power, the Rockefeller-influenced U.S. government
immediately threatened to seize $7.9 billion of
Iranian assets located in the U.S. On November 4, 1979
Iranian "terrorists" captured and held hostage 65
Americans. Essentially, Standard Oil was being
blackmailed by the hostage strategy. After lengthy
negotiations, the Rockefeller-created President Jimmy
Carter approved the electronic transfer of 7.9 billion
dollars from U.S. accounts to the Iranian regime on
January 20, 1981. 
-------------------------------------------------------
On Wednesday January 27, 1988, as announced in the
Wall Street Journal, Standard Oil merged with British
Petroleum. This actually represents Standard Oil's
buyout of British Petroleum, the name of the newly
merged company being BP-America. The Wall Street
Journal did not see fit to mention worries about the
world-wide predatory marketing practices of a
deceptively titled Standard Oil regime. 
-------------------------------------------------------During
the last 13 years, BP-America has merged with, or
controls, all of the old Standard Oil "mini-companies"
which existed before the original breakup by the U.S.
government in 1911. The new Standard Oil regime is now
known as BP-AMOCO, and few people in the world realize
what has happened. It's now possible to understand why
British Prime Minister Blair has become the spokesman
for the new wars against terrorism (actually the war
for Caspian Sea oil).
-------------------------------------------------------
At the end of WWII, General Douglas MacArthur became
the military Governor of Japan. MacArthur's assistant
was Laurence Rockefeller, one of John D. Rockefeller's
four grandsons. As the second world war was drawing to
a close, the U.S. was preparing for a massive invasion
of the Japanese home islands. 
-------------------------------------------------------
The military had stockpiled vast supplies of weapons
and munitions on the island of Okinawa. Some sources
claim that with Vice-governor Laurence Rockefeller's
assistance most of the armaments were sold to the
leader of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, for something like one
U.S. dollar and Ho’s "goodwill." One might wonder why
these expensive and critical military supplies were
"given" to the North Vietnamese.
-------------------------------------------------------
To answer that question we have to go to an almost
unknown study in the 1920's prepared by a man named
Herbert Hoover, later to become President of the
United States. The study showed that one of the
world's largest oil fields ran along the coast of the
South China Sea right off French Indo-China, now known
as Vietnam. This was before offshore drilling had been
invented and before a man named George Herbert Walker
Bush was to become the CEO of a world-wide offshore
drilling company.
-------------------------------------------------------
In 1945, Vietnam was still a colony of the French.
Laurence Rockefeller, it appears, had given the
extensive store of weapons to Ho Chi Minh with the
hope that Vietnam would drive out the French so that
Standard Oil would be able to take over the as yet
undeveloped offshore fields. But in 1954, Vietnamese
General Giap finally defeated and drove out the French
at Dien Bien Phu with weaponry provided by the U.S. Ho
Chi Minh reneged on the deal since he could read too,
and he was well aware of the Hoover resource report
and knew there was a vast supply of oil off the
Vietnamese coast. 
-------------------------------------------------------
"In the 1950's a method of undersea oil exploration
was perfected which used small explosions deep in the
water and then recorded the sound echoes bouncing off
the various layers of rock below. The surveyor could
then determine the exact location of the arched salt
domes which hold the accumulated oil beneath them. But
if this method were used off the Vietnam coast on
property Standard didn't own or have the rights to,
the Vietnamese, the Chinese, the Japanese and probably
even the French would quickly run to the United
Nations and complain that America was stealing the
oil, and that would shut down the operation.
 "In 1964, after Vietnam was divided into North and
South, and the contrived Gulf of Tonkin incident,
several U.S. aircraft carriers were stationed offshore
of Vietnam and the 'war' was started. Every day jet
planes would take off from the carriers, bomb
locations in North and South Vietnam, and then using
normal military procedure when returning would dump
their unsafe or unused bombs in the ocean before
landing back on the carriers. Safe ordnance drop zones
were designated for this purpose away from the
carriers.

"Even close-up observers would only notice many small
explosions occurring daily in the waters of the South
China Sea and thought it was only part of the 'war.'
The U.S. Navy carriers had begun Operation Linebacker
One, and Standard Oil had begun its ten year oil
survey of the seabed off of Vietnam. And the
Vietnamese, Chinese and everybody else around,
including the Americans, were none the wiser. The oil
survey hardly cost Standard Oil a nickel, the U.S.
taxpayers paid for it."

Marshall Douglas Smith. (2001). Black Gold Hot Gold,
Ch. 3
-------------------------------------------------------So
twenty years later and 57,000 Americans and half a
million Vietnamese dead, Standard Oil had enough data
and the war in Vietnam could end. Nelson Rockefeller's
personal assistant, Henry Kissinger, represented the
U.S. at the Vietnam/Paris Peace talks and won a Nobel
Peace Prize in the bargain. 
-------------------------------------------------------
After the dust had settled from the war, Vietnam
divided their offshore coastal area into numerous oil
lots and allowed foreign companies to bid on the lots,
with the proviso that Vietnam got a percentage of the
action. Norway's Statoil, British Petroleum, Royal
Dutch Shell, Russia, Germany and Australia all won
bids and began drilling within their areas. Strange it
was that none of them struck oil. However, the lots
which Standard Oil bid for and won proved to have vast
oil reserves. Their extensive undersea seismic
research appears to have paid off.
