Today’s headlines about Shell’s PR debacle arising from a case in UK courts about Shell’s lying, cheating, and related environmental crimes in Nigeria, have an echo in Shell’s failed machinations in the USA courts.
Shell lawsuit against environmental groups ruled unconstitutional: LA Times
On Wednesday, a federal appeals court called Shell’s legal strategy “novel” and ruled it unconstitutional.
“As multiple accidents have already shown, Shell’s drilling plans in the Arctic are severely flawed,” Clusen said. “Shell is not equipped to handle offshore drilling in some of the world’s most treacherous waters, and we’ll continue to do all we can to stop them from endangering the precious wildlife and local fishing economies that they’re putting at risk.”

Court Rejects Shell Suit Against Enviro. Groups: kucb
“Shell was attempting to quash dissent and circumvent due process,” he said in a statement. “It didn’t work — our legal system prevailed.” The decision leaves the door open for groups like the NRDC to take potential legal action against Shell’s prospects in the Arctic.

Greenpeace activists stage daring counter-advertising campaign against Shell: PR WEEK
Greenpeace activists took their battle against Shell’s plans to drill in the Arctic to a new level this morning with a daring counter-advertising campaign as bemused commuters looked on.

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.
