In an email dated 11 November 2005, Shell International General Counsel Richard Wiseman (now the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc) dismissed our website in the following words:
“The extraordinary tolerance shown to your internet activities ought to demonstrate better than anything else the fact that we are uninterested in, and unmoved by, your current activities.”
Wiseman’s bravado was undermined by the fact that we already had evidence to the contrary from an email about us that he sent on 24 June 2004 to Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer and his fellow Executive director, Malcolm Brinded. Wiseman informed them that he was contacting Sir Mark Moody-Stuart (a former Shell Group Chairman) about us. Wiseman’s email (supplied to us by a high level insider source) also confirmed that Shell “PX” was briefed and ready to react behind the scenes to our activities.
Under the circumstances, Wiseman’s dismissal of our site clearly amounted to a large serving of BS from one of Shell’s several hundred strong army of in-house lawyers, all at a total loss what to do about our “internet activities”.
You have to laugh. Wiseman subsequently, entirely at his own initiative, sent us an updated photograph of himself (above) to display on our “uninteresting” website. We are not joking.
Here it is:

Dear Mr Donovan,
I have just seen your website. I notice you are using a rather old photograph of me. If you must post my picture, you might like to use a more recent, and therefore more accurate, one.
(The flattery implied by showing what I looked like some years ago is of course much appreciated.)

EMAIL ENDS
Shortly thereafter, our “activities” cost Shell literally billions of dollars following our intervention in the Sakhalin2 project. Insider information supplied to us also led directly to the resignation of Sakhalin Energy Deputy Chairman, General David Greer.
In a further development revealing the truth about Shell’s intense interest in our website, we found out from documents obtained under the Data Protection Act that Shell had set up a team in an attempt to counter our activities. The relevant internal email exposes the hostility towards us and the fact that it is is held in check by fear of reprisal on our part. If you find this difficult to believe, read the email.
And Shell EP General Counsel Keith Ruddock confirmed that in June 2007 Shell had sent cease and desist letters to both of our website hosting companies in an attempt to close down royaldutchshellplc.com. Initially, the web hosting companies would not reveal the name of the party making threats against them behind our backs.
So much for being uninterested and unmoved!

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.
