Shell wants judge to uphold permits
May 4, 2012
JUNEAU, Alaska — Subsidiaries of Shell Oil Co. trying to head off challenges to permits that put them one step closer to exploratory drilling off Alaska’s northern shores.
Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc. and Shell Offshore Inc. have asked a federal judge to rule that the National Marine Fisheries Service properly issued harassment authorizations for whales and seals. A spokesman for Shell Alaska has said that the permits provide authorization to work near the animals as long as the impact is minimal.
Attorney Kyle Parker, in a filing dated Wednesday, says the seasonal nature of Shell’s exploration work, scheduled to begin this summer, along with what he calls the extensive and time-consuming permitting process leaves the authorizations vulnerable to legal maneuvers that could restrict Shell’s ability to use them.

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.

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.
