Shell has just announced $21bn profits, but people living in the Niger delta are not impressed. The Anglo-Dutch company has just ignored yet another official deadline to stop gas flaring and continues to flare in unimaginably large quantities from thousands of its wells. Apart from being wasteful and polluting, the practice is believed to cost Nigeria about $2.5bn a year in lost revenue and electricity. So is Shell bothered? Last week, it blamed its lack of action on the Nigerian government for not providing security for its workers, but was reported to have claimed that it was committing $3bn to addressing the problem. Seeing as it promised to stop flaring more than four years ago, and has been ordered to stop by the Nigerian courts, no one is holding their breath.

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.
