Irish Independent: Standing up for their rights
Friday Jul 01, 2005
Sir – It is with great distress that I write to you with regard to the jailing of five men from Erris, in Co Mayo, based on a High Court ruling. They have been jailed due to the breaching of court orders preventing them obstructing the building of a gas pipeline owned by Shell, on land owned by the gentlemen in question. I find this decision incredible.
I believe these men are to be commended for their spirit and courage in the face of one of the biggest companies in the world. As we all know, the North-West is an area starved of investment and job creation by the Government, but the construction of a gas pipeline by Shell through two villages in a rural area is not the aid that people are looking for! There have been many important issues surrounding the building of this pipeline – namely, employment creation, gas supplies for Ireland, and environmental and construction issues.
However, I feel that the fundamental issue at this time is that these five men, their families and their neighbours are being put under severe pressure by Shell. This is not a hard job for Shell, as its power and resources make them a Goliath for any David that may dare to stand up and object to its plans. Shell and, it seems, the Government are happy to expose the residents of Glengad and Bellananboy to the maximum risk for which there will be little or no long-term benefits for the area.
Therefore, I feel it is time that we all make our voices heard with regard to this now pressing issue. This applies to the residents of Erris at home and away, local politicians and those in Government, and anyone who has an interest in maintaining the area of Glengad and Bellananboy as an area of natural and unspoilt beauty.

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.
