The Shell internal email printed below, supplied to us by a Shell insider, was circulated earlier today by David Brignac, an official at the Shell/Motiva Convent refinery, described as “a strategic site for Motiva and Shell”.
The content seems to be a badly botched attempt to deal with a number of rumors causing anxiety that has led to many postings by refinery employees on our Shell Blog facility.
Brignac appears to pour fuel on an already inflammatory situation by admitting that income performance at the refinery since July of 2008 has been dismal. Notably, he does not categorically deny that cost cutting is being undertaken to “better position the refinery for a sale”, conceding that “whenever we as a business entity are not generating income we are not in control of our own destiny”.

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.
