"Boychuk believes that the real objective of the US invasion of Iraq was not to steal Iraqi oil but to keep it off the market in order to boost oil prices and thereby maximize the value of collateral in the form of Alberta oil whose production had been ramping up since the late 1990s. “The same day Marines pulled down Saddam Hussein’s statue, completing the occupation, the US officially recognized 175 billion barrels of bitumen reserves as proven and thus legal collateral for private money creation.” That very day, then-US Energy Secretary Edward Abraham said that, "From now on, when the Americans talked oil, they would be counting the reserves sitting beneath the forests of northern Alberta."
If that was indeed the plan, it was successful: when the US invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003, Brent crude oil was trading at around $25/bbl. By the summer of 2008, it surpassed $146/bbl. The average price of oil during this period was just over $59/bbl, more than double what it was in 2003.
It appears that the operation was planned very extensively, and nearly every aspect of it was criminal and fraudulent, from the rationale for Iraq invasion to the way Alberta's “proven” oil reserves were tallied up to an amazing 175 billion barrels, which would make it the world’s largest oil field, worth $9 trillion in legal collateral. For comparison, the total of Saudi Arabia’s magical, inexhaustible oil reserves supposedly amount to some 260 billion barrels.
An epidemic of financial crimes
We must ask, why was this done, who took control of the collateral, and what was it used for? As Boychuk explains, the control over the massive new collateral was taken by Rockefeller banking interests in the United States. “The bulk of the new credit was used to inflate the giant housing bubble…” The whole operation was, in fact, a massive criminal conspiracy: less than a year after the US takeover of Iraq, the FBI warned publicly about an “epidemic” of financial crimes that could become “the next Savings & Loans crisis.” As we would soon find out, it did exactly that, only on a much, much bigger scale. The Alberta oil collateral was what made those financial crimes possible.

Last February for example, former British Prime Minister Liz Truss gave us a stonker of a revelation. Truss appeared in Steve Bannon's War Room and said this:
"What I found out when I got into No. 10 is, I thought that if I got to the top of the tree, I would be able to implement those conservative policies... And what I discovered was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility, they weren't held by the Prime Minister or the Chancellor..."
Truss went on to point out the obvious problem with this: you can sack the Prime Minister, but you can't sack the BOE officials who hold the levers of power. Around the same time of that revelation, Glenn Beck dropped a similar clue. In an interview with Tucker Carlson published on 21 February 2024 he shared a story of his encounter with George W. Bush:
"I thought of something George Bush told me in the Oval Office. I was asking about the policies and how they were going to change, and he said, 'Glenn, don’t worry, whoever sits behind this desk, in that chair, is going to have the same advice given by the same advisors and they’ll realize, the President’s hands are tied.' I walked out of that room horrified… Why do we even have elections?"
It would be interesting to know who exactly were these same advisors that give the same advice to US Presidents whose hands are tied? Was it they who advised George Bush to invade Iraq in 2003? Were they doing God's work then, because that same George W. said that,
"God would tell me, 'George, go fight these terrorists in Afghanistan, and I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq.' And I did..."
Whoever this God was, it's important for us to recognize that the relationships which George W. and Liz Truss revealed, have been the defining feature of our “democracies” for a very long time. "
