Washington Post: Shell Restates Profits: “revision followed an embarrassing series of disclosures”
Saturday, July 3, 2004; Page E02
The Royal/Dutch Shell Group said the overstatement of its proven oil and gas reserves and inappropriate accounting in other business segments resulted in profits being exaggerated by $432 million in years before 2003.
The revision followed an embarrassing series of disclosures that reduced the company’s reported reserves by nearly one-quarter and led to the departure of several top executives. But because the oil giant also adopted some changes in how it will account for inventories, its newly reported net income for 2002 was actually higher than previously reported: $9.72 billion, up from $9.42 billion. It revised its 2001 net income to $10.35 billion, down from $10.85 billion.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
