Dear Mr Brandjes
I would like to verify two answers given by the Shell board during the AGM held today.
SELF-INSURING THE ARCTIC DRILLING RISK
Did I hear correctly that Shell has been unable to obtain contingent insurance from Lloyd’s of London against a major disaster arising from your pending Arctic drilling project, and that instead, Shell is going to self-insure? This means Shell shareholders will run the risk of the company being potentially made bankrupt, as very nearly happened to BP due to the Macondo disaster. I am astonished that this situation, if I correctly understood what was stated, has not been picked up by the news media. It means that the risk is deemed so dire by Lloyds’ underwriters that they will not insure the risk at any cost. In this regard, the risks involved in Arctic drilling are obviously potentially far greater than drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Kiobel v Shell
Am I also right in recollecting that the board refused to say if Royal Dutch Shell has lobbied the UK government and/or the Dutch government to intervene on your behalf in the Kibel v Royal Dutch Shell case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court?
If I receive no reply by 3pm on Wednesday 23 May, I will assume that my understanding of what was stated by Shell on these matters is correct.
As always, if you need more time, just let me know, and I will then await your considered response.
Best Regards
John Donovan

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.
