12 Aug 2013
REPRESENTATIVES OF SHELL to Sea have called for an independent inquiry into allegations by a company that it distributed alcohol to gardaà while working on behalf of Shell in Co Mayo.
In an article in The Observer yesterday, Glasgow based company OSSL, which procured materials and services for Shell, claimed it was tasked with providing “a tennis court, cookers, television sets, agricultural equipment, school fees, home improvements, garden centre visits, forestry equipment†for local residents on behalf of Shell, to keep them on side.
The company also alleged it delivered €35,000 worth of alcohol, which came from Northern Ireland, to Belmullet Garda Station in December 2007.
Superintendent John Gillian is quoted by one of the managers of the company as saying “it’s lucky these walls are highâ€, as the consignment of alcohol was unloaded from an unmarked van.
Commenting on the accusations, Shell to Sea spokesperson Maura Harrington said that as well as the issue of “alcohol-fueled police violenceâ€, this raises “serious concerns†for the auditors of Shell E&P Ireland.
“It seems that Shell are intent to pay absolutely no tax in the State whatsoever, as even this alcohol was smuggled across the border,†Harrington said.
Shell to Sea are now calling for a “fully independent international inquiry†into the allegations.
In a statement, gardaà said that allegations were made to the district officer at Belmullet in 2011, that alcohol was distribute to officers on behalf of Shell but inquiries found “no evidence†of this.
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.
