I recently watched How Big Oil Conquered the World.
This was the most eye-opening documentary I have ever watched and I highly recommend for you to subscribe to Corbett Report on Youtube to stay informed on the elitist's plans to take over our world!
Today I will highlight how the Rockefeller family started the oil rush and the story behind how Pennsylvania struck oil!
Oil is everywhere
Our lives are run by oil in our modern day, It is impossible to think of an area of our modern day empire which is not controlled or reliant on petrol-chemicals.
We know the public sector information about oil. The war on oil in the Middle-East and how the internal combustion engine revolutionised our transport systems.
What we do not know is talked in depth in Corbett Report's video.
The beginning of oil
It was not crude oil in Pennsylvania, it was snake oil!
Dr Bill Livingstone, a celebrated cancer specialist was the face of the snake oil emergence.
This man was not a doctor or a cancer specialist, Bill Livingstone was not even his real name!
He went on to sell snake oil as a cure for cancer to poor townsfolk.
Snake oil has no cancer curing properties. It was in fact an oil originally created in China before being imported to America during the gold rush.
The original snake oil came from Chinese water snakes and was used in China as a treatment for arthritis, bursitis, and other joint pains. It is believed to have been brought to North America during the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s.
According to The History of Snake Oil
He sold a "Rock Oil Tonic" which was a mixture of laxative and petroleum.
100% guaranteed to cost a lot of money and not cure cancer!
Who Was The Con Artist?
William Avery Rockefeller, aka “Devil Bill,” traveled the country’s back roads conning people into buying his “Rock Oil” tonic for cancer.
Rockefeller? That sounds familiar!
The Rockefeller family is an American industrial, political, and banking family that owns one of the world's largest fortunes. The fortune was initially made in the US petroleum industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by John D. Rockefeller and his brother William Rockefeller, primarily through Standard Oil.
The family is also known for its long association with, and control of, Chase Manhattan Bank. The Rockefellers are considered to be one of the most powerful families, if not the most powerful family, in the history of the United States.
The Rockefellers have a very good chunk of the world's money. They are definitely in the elitist party (1%) who control most of the fiat currency and banking institutions all over the world.
You could say they have the potential to, and most likely are, using their immense wealth and power to control our politicians and control our world markets.
William Rockefeller continues to deceive
He was dubbed "Livingstone" after raping a girl in Kayuga in 1849.
When he wasn't on the run or scamming someone he would teach his children (from 3 different wives) the trick of his trade.
I cheat my boys every chance I get... I want to make 'em sharp.
Titusville, 1857. An unlikely man arrives from the train, "Colonel” Edwin Drake. He’s from the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company, and he’s here on a mission: to collect oil!
Just like how Livingstone was William Rockefeller's code name..
Drake isn’t really a Colonel.
He was awarded the title by George Bissell and James Townsend, a lawyer and a banker who started the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company after they discovered that the naturally occuring Seneca oil could be made into lamp oil or kerosene.
Who is Drake?
He is actually an unemployed railroad conductor who talked himself into a job after staying at the same hotel as Bissel the year before.
Why call him a Colonel?
It is hoped, will help Drake win the respect of the locals.
They did not understand his obsession with Seneca oil...
Other than as a cure-all medicine or grease for the local's sawmill’s machinery, it’s hardly seen as something valuable. In fact, it can be a downright nuisance, contaminating brine wells that supply Pittsburgh’s booming salt industry at the time. (LINK)
Drake Still Had A Mission
To find a way to collect enough oil to make the distillation of Seneca oil into lamp oil profitable.
- Native Americans had historically collected the oil by damming the creek near a seep and skimming
This was inefficient because Drake could only collect six to ten gallons of oil a day this way.
He Needed A Better System!
By the summer of 1859 Drake is desperate.
Bissell and Townsend are running out of patience and, most importantly, the company is running out of funds. (LINK)
He receives help from “Uncle” Billy Smith, a Pittsburgh blacksmith who had experience drilling brine wells with steam-powered equipment.
They Get To Work
Above pictured is the Seneca oil being drilled from the ground in Pennsylvania.
Near Defeat
By August 27th they’ve drilled down 69 and a half feet.
Drake has used the last of his funds, Bissell and his partners have decided to close up the operation.
But on August 28th, they struck oil.
The first oil was to sell for $40 a barrel.
An Industry Emerges
Overnight a whole new industry was born. Before long in millions of homes, farms and factories around the world, lamps would be lit with kerosene refined from West Pennsylvania crude oil. (LINK)
This was the plan all along, to corner the market because once you strike oil, it is plentiful and easily attained.
It was like a gold rush!
Everyone Wants A Piece Of The Action
The quiet backwoods of Pennsylvania was transformed into the place to be if you wanted to strike oil. Who doesn't want to strike oil?
Prospectors started leasing flats, towns springing up from nowhere and a lot of oil-rigs could be seen in the countryside.
What Does @chron Think?
Watching this documentary has been a must for me as I am very interested in alternative truth.
I have only informed you of how the Rockefeller family started the oil rush and the story behind how Pennsylvania struck oil.
In the next article we will discuss how the Rockefellers teamed with the Rothschilds to (another elitist family) create Standard Oil.
