Comment by a former employee of Shell Oil USA
John,
I have a comment about the comment for your ‘retiree’: He got his biology wrong. Toads are not slimy and do not turn into princess. Only frogs are slimy and Hofmeister has that personality trait in abundance.
I also have another observation for your readers about ‘Mr. Toad’:
With regard to your comments/observations about John Hofmeister: It is almost a certainty that Mr. Hofmeister (the alleged ‘pompous toad’) has initimate knowledge of Shell USA’s (alleged) espionage plan that targeted their former employee’s IP and WMD technologies classified by the US Dept.’s of Defense and Energy, as well as current legal liabilities in that regard. Mr.Hofmeister’s term at Shell (1997 -2008) puts him at Shell during the time of Shell’s concerted effort to gain access to the classified material. It is also very possible that he was intimately involved in the decision/authorization process that led Shell to proceed ahead with, and/or continue with, that (alleged) illegal effort (if he was not directly responsible for any of the decisions or authorizations himself).
So, Mr.Hofmiester’s (the alleged ‘pompous toad’) conduct as a senior level Shell manager may not only have been devious, but very criminal as well. Somebody at Shell was responsible for the decision/authorization process, and only senior level Shell USA management had that authority. Time will tell what his involvement may have been. Who knows, Mr. Hofmeister may be a very willing accessory to a conspiracy to commit espionage. Something to think about.

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.
