  To: Eulji Mundeok It's mighty strange that YOU can't find anything on Google about Gull Island. I thought that they might have removed it from Google, since there's been some rumblings about their political motives lately. But, 'lo and behold, the very first item that popped up when I went there was "Gas Price Manipulation and Gull Island Oil" and it's located at http://www.rense.com/general82/gull.htm. Why don't you, and the other "oil boys" try looking again. This is the first paragraph in the article: "It's well and good that Congress vote to stop filling the US Strategic Oil reserve because the US already has billions of barrels in the ground in Alaska--entire oil fields capped and drilled, but kept off the market. The filling of the Strategic Petroleum reserve is merely one more attempt to keep fuel in short supply. I will be blunt. There is a conspiracy to raise fuel prices and it is pernicious. No one is targeting the collusion we see daily between the oil companies." HAVE A NICE DAY!

  The president has been buying gas for the U.S. reserve every Friday since entering office, to intentionally run up the price(as reported by analyst Wayne Rogers on Fox TV). Now that the price has surpassed $100 a barrel, the president has signed contracts with 3 oil companies to supply 70,000 barrels a day (12.3 million barrels) for six months to the reserve. The administration is violating a 1995 energy law, passed by Congress, that requires the government to minimize the cost of acquiring the oil for the reserve, including oil that energy companies turn over in lieu of paying cash royalties for drilling on federal leases. Adding oil to the reserve at this time also violates the Energy Department’s own guidelines to avoid affecting heating oil, gasoline, and other petroleum product prices paid by consumers.

  There is no shortage. The chaplain on the trans-Alaska pipeline (that was built specifically to reduce gas prices in the U.S.) wrote a book at its completion, to let the American people know what was really going on (“The Energy Non-Crisis”; amazon.com). There are 3 oil wells in the North Slope of Alaska, already drilled and capped, that have enough oil to supply the U.S. for the next 200 years! They are: Kuparuk, Prudhoe, and Gull Island. Gull Island has an oil-pool depth of 1,200 feet, and its field is 400 square miles. The other 2 are slightly smaller; check them out on Google.

  Whining about the "shortage" now is nothing more than a "dog-and-pony show" to con the American people into believing that he "cares", and pushing Congress at the same time to allow the oil companies to drill on our shorelines.

  It is all a major conspiracy to corner the market and control prices worldwide--and has been since the Nixon administration. Bush, by the way, has been in "oil's pockets" for many years.
