Summary

Lindsey Williams introduces the DVD as a presentation based on his claimed three years as a chaplain on the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, where he says he lived and worked alongside senior oil-company executives. He argues that these experiences convinced him that a small, powerful elite coordinates political and financial events behind closed doors. He also says he later attended seminars in the Bahamas where wealthy people were taught the “mindset” and practices he had observed. These are Williams’s claims and personal interpretations; the subtitles do not independently substantiate them.

His central argument is that the elite seek control by shaping laws, institutions, public language, and financial conditions. Williams says they signal their intentions through “buzzwords” and popular culture, citing phrases such as “New World Order,” “social security,” and “social studies.” He portrays the shift from history to social studies, the growth of government programs, and the weakening of religious influence as parts of a broader movement away from individual freedom and constitutional government.

Alleged methods of influence

  • Political and corporate control: Williams claims that powerful interests write legislation before it reaches Congress, that legislators and presidents often do not read lengthy bills, and that lawmakers are pressured to support measures through access to lucrative stock tips. He cites the AT&T breakup and the health-care and Patriot Acts as examples, presenting them as outcomes planned or exploited by elites.
  • Ownership and taxation: He says the wealthy are taught to “control everything and own nothing,” using trusts, companies, and other legal arrangements to hold assets. In his view, this allows them to enjoy homes, vehicles, aircraft, and other property while avoiding taxes and inheritance obligations.
  • Debt and financial collapse: He argues that growing public debt is deliberate and that elites could trigger a worldwide financial collapse through derivatives, then use debt crises to impose a new currency and political order. He cites Greece as an example of a country supposedly made vulnerable through debt.
  • Currency and personal finances: Williams warns that the U.S. dollar will lose purchasing power, criticizes the Federal Reserve, and recommends U.S.-minted gold coins—especially those dated before 1933—and silver as protection. He predicts that stores may remain stocked while people are unable to afford food because their money has lost value.
  • Elite lifestyles and preparation: He claims that the people he knew lived primarily in rural areas, dressed professionally, and did not prepare for emergencies in the same way ordinary people might because they supposedly knew what was coming.

Personal account and recommendations

Williams frames his account through his Christian faith and says his experiences and the opportunity to make the DVD were providential. He recounts publishing The Energy Non-Crisis, becoming a public speaker, and receiving invitations to speak around the country.

He urges viewers to study the elite’s supposed strategies, share the DVDs, and prepare financially. He also says he chose four contributors to discuss subjects including Wall Street, Hollywood and the media, derivatives, and related issues.
