Shell News Archive Sunday (BOXING DAY), 26 December 2004
The Sunday Observer (UK): What will flow after big oil? Shares disappointed this year and the City expects 2005 to be volatile, says Richard Wachman: “Shell, mired in controversy since it admitted that it had been overstating its reserves, could become a turnaround story if management measures up” (ShellNews.net) 26 Dec 04
THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK): Inside the City: Dominic O’Connell: Retailers expect blue Christmas: “Royal Dutch/Shell (445p), which is likely to become the second-ranked company in the FTSE 100 when it lists as a single entity in London early next year, should enjoy a fillip from its continuing restructuring, but has dropped too many clangers to inspire confidence.” (ShellNews.net) 26 Dec 04
THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK): Focus: Year of the Chinese dragon: The explosive growth of China left its mark on the world. It devoured raw materials, pushing up the price of commodities. And its torrent of exports to America dragged down the value of the dollar.: “Sir Philip Watts began the year as chairman of the world’s 10th-largest company. Then the authorities accused Shell of inflating its oil reserves. Watts took the rap. Today he spends much of his time negotiating with the Financial Services Authority over whether the City regulator unfairly besmirched his name in bringing an action against the company for misleading investors.” (ShellNews.net) 26 Dec 04

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.
