THE NEW YORK TIMES: Shell, Libya Reach Gas Exploration Deal
4 May 2005
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON (AP) — The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Cos. said Tuesday it has reached a long-term agreement for a major gas exploration and development deal with Libya’s National Oil Corp.
Shell said the agreement covers the rejuvenation and upgrade of the existing liquefied natural gas plant at Marsa Al-Brega on the Libyan coast and the exploration and development of five areas located in the heart of Libya’s major oil and gas producing Sirte Basin.
Shell’s return to Libya — where it was active from the 1950s until 1974 and where it conducted exploration in the late 1980s — has been aided by the country’s improved ties with the West following its announcement in December 2003 that it would dismantle its chemical, nuclear and biological programs.
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.
