The following comment was posted by guest 1731 on our “Live Chat” facility on 22 August 2006:
“The remarks in the Richard Wiseman story come across as being melodramatic. Do you have any proof that what you are saying is true? Have you not got anything positive to say about him or Shell?”
The following was my light hearted response:
“Guest 1731 thanks for your interesting and perfectly reasonable questions. Are you a colleague of Mr Wiseman or is this he in person? If so, we are honoured by your visit. In any event, we will respond in detail tomorrow. Suffice it to say that we do have proof about the agent activity (Mr Wiseman is already painfully aware of this fact.) With regards to positive comments, we will need time to put our minds to that challenge.”
This is my more serious response.
I will deal first with the positive side of Richard Wiseman.
I have crossed swords with Mr Wiseman for over a decade in multiple legal actions. He is a lawyer, so a degree of cunning and evasion is to be expected. He is easy to wind-up and I seem to know what buttons to press. When annoyed, he has been known to make mistakes. On the positive side, Mr Wiseman is a gentleman who, in my assessment, will not tell outright lies on behalf of Shell. Consequently, when he has issued denials on behalf of Shell, I believe he has done so in good faith. He has been more forthright than anyone else in the company, other than Sir John Jennings, who I got on with very well and admired greatly. It would have been better for Shell and its shareholders if Mr Wiseman had been promoted to senior management instead of thoroughly disingenuous, unscrupulous and incompetent individuals, such as Sir Philip Watts and Malcolm Brinded.
With regards to making positive comments about Shell, I drafted the sections on the “Royal Dutch Shell” Wikipedia page about Shell’s admirable “LiveWIRE” scheme and “The Shell Foundation”. I did so out of disgust that no one at Shell or its Advertising or PR agencies had bothered to add these important genuinely positive aspects of Shell. The aim of Wikipedia is to provide a balanced neutral picture and these two sections were badly needed for this reason. I shall invoice Shell in due course.

I will now deal in more detail with Shell’s undercover activities.

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.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
