Higher prices also lift quarter’s results
LONDON BP, Europe’s largest oil company, said Tuesday that its second-quarter profit increased 35 percent, helped by record oil and gasoline prices and a jump in Russian production.
Net income rose to $3.43 billion, or 15.7 cents a share, from $2.54 billion, or 11.5 cents, a year earlier, the company said. The profit, the second-highest in the company’s history, foreshadows profit reports due on Thursday from Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Exxon Mobil. BP, Shell and Exxon are thought to have earned a combined $13.63 billion last quarter, according to analysts at Deutsche Bank.
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.
