Published comment By John Donovan in response to the headline story about BP

Sir- It is no wonder that under US Securities & Exchange Commission rules, Shell’s replacement rate of new oil is only 60%-70% of what it has pumped out.
Directors of Royal Dutch Shell Plc may perhaps be slightly distracted by the fact that 11 out of their 15 board members, including CEO Jeroen van der Veer, are the subject of a US class action in relation to the 2004 reserves fraud. The action has been given permission to proceed by a US District Court Chief Judge (John Bissell). The US Justice Department also has an investigation in progress against individual directors allegedly implicated in the fraud.
The investigation is referred to in paragraph 23.5 of a defence document filed by Shell reserves whistleblower Dr John Huong with the High Court of Malaya on 25 January 2006. This is in relation to a defamation lawsuit brought against him by EIGHT Royal Dutch Shell companies registered in the UK, the Netherlands and in other Countries.

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.
