BP: The non-executive directors failed to use their critical judgment
Daily Telegraph
By Norman Tebbit July 9th, 2010
In its Business News (July 7) the Telegraph questioned how well the four BP non-executive directors required to oversee safety, ethical and enviromental matters had discharged their responsibilities. At around £100,000 a year they are not badly paid. They should have been alert to the dangers of a lack of operational experience not only of their executive colleagues, but further down the line, among those more immediately assessing the quality of sub-contractors operations.
Federal court rejects drilling moratorium
AlaskaDispatch
A Federal appeals court has refused to restore a moratorium on offshore drilling as requested by the Obama administration.
The AP is reporting that a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling following an afternoon hearing in New Orleans.
While the appeal court’s ruling could open the door to a resumption of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico pending another hearing later this summer, the AP says, the decision likely won’t affect Shell’s Arctic drilling operation, planned for this summer. That’s because the U.S. Interior Department also raised separate concerns about the challenges of operating in — and cleaning up an oil spill — in the Arctic.

“If BP decided to sell assets clearly there are some things that would make sense for our portfolio. But that’s a later decision because of what’s happening now,” Shell Oil Co President Marvin Odum said.
BP, which has been battling the oil spill from a well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico since April, has announced plans to sell $10 billion in assets to help shore up its cash position.
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.
