Title: Bible Camp BANNED?
Topic: Christian Discrimination in America
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter

Recently, Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt (D) introduced a proposal to amend LB371 a bill that would protect children from adult-themed drag performances. What a fabulous bill designed to protect the innocent children!

However, Hunt’s proposal, AM74, is anything BUT fabulous. In fact, her proposal would essentially bar children from attending a “religious indoctrination camp”.

READ THAT AGAIN: IT WOULD BAR CHILDREN FROM ATTENDING A “RELIGIOUS INDOCTRINATION CAMP” WHICH INCLUDES: “A VACATION BIBLE STUDY, RETREAT, LOCK-IN, OR CONVENTION HELD BY A CHURCH, YOUTH GROUP, OR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN WITH A SPECIFIC SET OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.”

In addition, the amendment declares anyone 19 or older who “knowingly brings” someone under 19 to a religious indoctrination camp to “be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor.”

Bill Sydow is a long-time friend of Terry Lowry and they have discussed many issues over the years. Bill is the Retired Director of the Oil and Gas Commission from the State of Nebraska. Today, Bill passionately discusses this horrific proposal, urging parents and grandparents everywhere to stand up and get in the fight for our children and grandchildren.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do most people in Nebraska believe children should be allowed to attend church-related events or events sponsored by a religious organization?

Do most people in Nebraska believe that children should be allowed to witness drag queen events or events where adults are sexual before children?

The Great Commission: Matthew 28:18-20 ESV “18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen.”

Does the Great Commission apply to adults teaching children, especially their own?

Should parents and grandparents be extra careful when listening to the radio and watching TV (especially at night)? Oh, be careful little eyes what you see. Oh, be careful little ears what you hear.

Title: The International Energy Agency Report: A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter


Part 1 of 2

On March 28, 2022, the International Energy Agency released their 10-Point Plan to Cut Energy Use.

Bill Sydow is the Retired Director of the Oil and Gas Commission from the State of Nebraska and a former Engineer with King Ranch Oil and Gas in Texas. Today he offers his expert opinion on this 10-point plan.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the “every-other-day” plan? Bill explains how this plan will restrict private car use on roads in large cities.

What is the “stay home on Sunday” plan? Would this ban the use of private cars on Sundays? Is this another way to stop people from going to church?

Why does this plan include reducing the speed limit on highways by 10 kph (which translates to a reduction in 6.5 mph in the US)?

Does this 10-point plan want more people to work from home more often?

Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does this new 10-point plan include increasing the cost of SUV’s? If so, why?

WWhy do “they” want to tax the miles we drive? Would this really make a difference? Bill says: “I don’t think that would reduce oil consumption at all, Terry, because there is a certain requirement for driving to get things done in our country.”

Since gas prices have skyrocketed over the past few months, many people (especially on the Left) are hailing electric vehicles as the answer. How is the lithium mined and processed that is used for the batteries in electric cars?

DDo “they” think that electricity magically comes from unicorns? Bill believes that most people have no clue how electricity really works.

Title: Skyrocketing Oil and Gas Prices
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter


Part 1 of 3

Why can’t America “drill here and drill now”?

Did humans cause the Ice Age?

What is “their” end-game?

Bill Sydow is the retired Director of the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission. Today, he discusses a recent Fox News segment “Dems Urge Biden to Increase Domestic Energy Production in the Face of Skyrocketing Gas Prices.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why can’t we just turn on the oil spigot overnight? Bill explains that it’s not just about oil; parts and even labor are even in short supply…

Is the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline Permit just one outward sign of the misguided hatred that the elites have for fossil fuels?

From day one, has the Biden Administration punished oil and gas explores and producers? Bill discusses just how far the Biden Administration has gone to stop oil and gas production. It’s completely ridiculous!

Is there a coordinated effort to shut-off needed new capital loans for exploration and production? Even more ridiculous: Bill explains that some lenders are not looking at companies’ credit scores now. They are looking at their carbon footprint. “There may be loans that will not made to very viable companies because they have the wrong worldview,” he says.

What practical steps can be taken to increase oil and gas production in the US near and long-term?

Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter


Part 1 of 3

Venezuela, a founding member of OPEC, is close to producing ZERO barrels of oil. Is America next?

Bill Sydow is the former Director of the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission. Today, he discusses the dire situation in Venezuela and offers a stern warning to America.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Was Venezuela once the largest oil producer in the world?

Did Socialism factor into the decaying/declining oil production in Venezuela? Bill refers to Socialism as the “demise” of Venezuela.

There are no dogs and cats in their major cities. Why? The people are starving and they have to eat them just to survive. Socialism on display for all to see how it does not work in real time.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Cities in America that have been run by Democrats for decades mirror the poor conditions of Venezuela. The Silent Majority MUST stand up and put a stop to this before their negative ideals are spread nationwide.

If Democrats gain control of Congress and the White House, implementing AOC’s New Green Deal, will we see the collapse of oil and gas production in America like Venezuela?

Title: What’s UP With Medieval Warming?
Topic: Climate Change
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter


Part 1 of 2

From AD 900 to 1300 AD there was a warming cycle that brought the Dark Ages to an end – but only for a while. Then a cold cycle, from AD 1280 to 1850, known as the Little Ice Age, negatively affected every people group in the world.

Thankfully, we are currently living in a time of planetary warmth and enjoying the abundance of food, water, and general health which warm, wet climates bring to the people of the world. Could another Little Ice Age occur, though?

Bill Sydow, former Director of Oil and Gas for the state of Nebraska, discusses the past, present, and future…

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has the earth warmed and cooled throughout recorded history?

What were the “Dirty 30’s”?

At any time during the last 4,000 years have global temperatures been warmer than todays?

Have global temperatures been significantly colder?

What was life like during the Medieval Warming period?

Why did the Vikings choose the name “Greenland” for a land now covered with ice and snow?

Are we warmer now than any other time during the past 4,000 years?

Topic: Energy Makes America Great
Discussed by Bill Sydow

Bill Sydow is a long-time friend and an expert in the oil and gas field. He is currently the Director for Oil and Gas for the state of Nebraska. Today, he will be discussing several topics of interest concerning fossil fuels, the past, and the future. Without the energy you have at our finger tips, how many servants would you need?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who is Michael Economides? Why did Michael make such an impact on Bill Sydow and so many others in the oil and gas field?

What is one fact which Michael helped prove concerning large economies, population, life-span, and the use of coal?

If America stopped using fossil fuels, how many “slaves” or “bond servants” would be needed for each family to keep the economy going? Listen in to hear what this means! If you had to grow all your food – vegies and meat…find fuel to burn and water to use…go without using one electrical appliance for one day – including your cell phone, iPad, computer…try a family adventure for a day…let me know how it works out.

Will the oil and gas industry thrive or dive in the coming years, especially on Federal land?

Is there a massive amount of land in Alaska which is prime for drilling? Why can’t we utilize it?
