OVERTON v. SHELL OIL COMPANY:
On December 22, 1999, Mr. Overton formally announced to Ms. Sistrunk that he was working with the Department of Interior and of his status as a whistleblower. On January 19, 2000, while Mr. Overton was working on MP252, federal agents boarded the platform armed with weapons and issued grand jury subpoenas based upon alleged violations of environmental regulations.

We have already published articles revealing how Royal Dutch Shell terrorized a Malaysian whistleblower, the former Shell Production geologist, Dr John Huong. Dr Huong has accused Shell of psychological torture.
In the USA, there are Federal and State laws to protect whistleblowers from the retribution of malevolent employers such as Shell Oil.
The following are extracts of an email we received from William Overton, a Shell whistleblower who reported serious safety breaches on Shell production platforms operating in the Gulf of Mexico, including falsification by a Shell contractor of U.S. Mineral Management Service reports supplied to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The information at the head of this article is an extract from a judgment by the Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.
The entire remarkable document detailing the treatment Mr Overton received at the hands of Shell can be read here. He was awarded over $600,000 in damages. The appeal court affirmed the trial court’s finding that Shell terminated Mr. Overton because he was a whistleblower. The damages award covered lost wages, pension, fringe benefits, and emotional distress.
In his email, Mr Overton makes reference to an investigation by the U.S. authorities concerning Shell bribes to MMS employees, which included *Cocaine and Sex. For the record, we were approached by the U.S. authorities in relation to a bribery investigation relating to Shell Oil and supplied the U.S. government with leaked Shell internal documents.
We may publish further information supplied to us by Mr Overton.

EMAIL PURPORTEDLY FROM WILLIAM OVERTON
Dear Alfred,
I was a loyal front line employee and protected Shell as a good employee should. Unfortunately, Floyd Landry with Shell Oil Company offered me up to MMS so he could keep his bonus.
When I confronted Floyd and told him that I broke no laws and I was being railroaded he laughed at me and instructed me to take it to court. He also offered me $5000.00 to settle and quit Shell Oil. I filed my own proceedings and soon found out I was outmatched. I learned to play as dirty as I was treated.
I reported violations to MMS to discover they were being investigated for accepting bribes from Shell that included Cocaine and sex.
William C. Overton, Jr.

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.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
