Shell's malversaties wereldwijd: nieuw boek
Myrthe - 12.11.2002 11:04

Het is zeven jaar geleden dat Ken Saro Wiwa en zeven andere Ogoni Shell activisten werden ge executeerd. Dit moment wordt aangegrepen door milieu- en mensenrechten groeperingen om een boek te presenteren waarin beschreven wordt hoe het er bij Shell aan toe gaat.
Het ruim 300 pagina's dikke boek wordt vandaag gelanceerd in Durban (Zuid Afrika), en morgen in Londen, New York, Louisiana, Nigeria en in Manila.

Het boek bekijkt de praktijk van Shell en zet deze af tegen het 'duurzame' imago dat Shell zich in haar reclames aanmeet, en is getiteld "Riding the Dragon: Royal Dutch Shell & The Fossil Fire"





Vanaf a.s. donderdag is het boek ook te downloaden op  http://www.shellfacts.com

Origineel persbericht:
First Ever Review of Shell Oil’s Global Environmental Performance.

Major New Book Marks Anniversary of Shell Critics’ Execution.

"Riding the Dragon: Royal Dutch Shell and the Fossil Fire"
Investigates Environmental, Worker Safety & Human Rights Record vs. Company Rhetoric.

(London, U.K.) Human rights and environmental watchdog groups will mark the seventh anniversary of the execution of eight Shell activists including noted Nigerian poet, Ken Saro-Wiwa, with the international release of a major new book that probes, for the first time, the global footprint of the world’s second largest oil company. With discoveries as recent as today’s headlines, Riding the Dragon compares riveting examples of Shell’s historical and ongoing problems — many with life and death consequences — against their self-professed rebirth as a "new" company committed to human rights, sustainable development, and environmental protection.

Riding the Dragon: Royal Dutch Shell and the Fossil Fire is a new 300+ page paperback book written by noted corporate researcher, Jack Doyle, who received wide acclaim for Taken for a Ride, a major work on the American Automobile Industry. Mr. Doyle has published a number of other in-depth corporate analyses. Texas-based Refinery Reform Campaign, a project of the Texas Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Coalition, is making Riding the Dragon available for free to reporters and activists on the World Wide Web at www.shellfacts.com

WHAT: Shell activists from around the world will hold a press conference and seek a meeting with top company officials on immediate steps Shell can take in a select number of "hot spot" areas to improve community relations and plant and worker safety. Recommendations on performance and community relations will be provided.

WHO: Goldman Environmental Prize winner, Bobby Peek, groundWork, South Africa; Denny Larson, Refinery Reform Campaign, USA; Hilton Kelley, Shell refinery neighbor, Port Arthur, TX; Desmond D’sa, South Durban Shell refinery neighborhood leader, South Africa; Asume Osuaka, Environmental Rights Action, Ogoni, Nigeria; Iris Carter, Norco Louisiana neighbor that led a successful campaign to relocate her community away from a Shell Chemical plant.

WHERE: Global Press Conference in London — Exact press conference location to be announced. Press Events in New York, Texas, Louisiana, Delaware, Durban, South Africa; Nigeria, Manila, more and exact locations TBA.

WHEN: Nov. 12, 2002; 10 AM London time. Event times at other locations to be announced.

WHY: Shell claims it has been "reborn" as new environmentally and socially conscious oil company, but no independent investigation has ever been conducted until now.

Shell aan de haal met Iraakse olie 
Ali as Waerheijd - 16.11.2002 14:46

Een TV-programma/documentaire (sorry, weet niet meer welke) die wat insiders aan het woord liet:

De internationale besprekingen rondom Irak, inspecties en oorlog, lijken binnenskamers meer nadruk te leggen op wie de olie krijgt.
Amerika, Engeland en Frankrijk proberen er munt en olie uit te slaan.
Met Engeland wordt natuurlijk ook Nederland bedoeld, vanwege de Brit-Nederlandse Shell groep.

Shell lijkt er voor een groot deel mee aan de haal te gaan: via haar Maleisische dochteronderneming zouden de besprekingen met Irak al in een vergevorderd stadium zijn.
De Iraakse olievoorraad voor de komende dertig jaar wordt geschat op groter dan 3000 miljard dollar.
Very smart; Maleisie is een echt Moslimland en die onderneming maakt dus meer kans op een contract.

Mogelijk verklaard dit ook waarom Nederland zo trouw Amerika en Engeland volgt in deze oorlogstijden.
Bekend is dat de Bilderberg groep, die afgelopen juni/juli in Virginia Washington de besprekingen tussen Europa en Amerika voerde over de oorlog tegen Irak, een Shell-bastion is (Metzelaar schreef hier eerder over). Het betreft hier mensen uit het Shell bestuur, Bolkestijn, Oranje vazallen (groot-aandeelhouder) en banken en anderen die zaken met Shell doen.
