WARNING BY FORMER SHELL INTERNATIONAL GROUP AUDITOR, BILL CAMPBELL, ABOUT SHELL'S "Touch F*** ALL" SAFETY CULTURE.
JULY 2007: Bill Campbell, the much respected former Group Auditor of Shell International has taken the exceptional step of writing to all Members of the Houses of Parliament – every MP and every member of the House of Lords - to bring to their attention his deep concern about the negligence and mendacity of Shell senior management towards the safety of Shell workers. Leaflets will also be distributed at Shell HQ offices.

BRENT BRAVO SECTION ENDS
Some articles/documents published on this website are the subject of High Court Injunction/Restraining Order/Contempt proceedings by EIGHT ROYAL DUTCH SHELL GROUP companies. The litigation includes a Restraining Order, multiple Interim Injunctions, and contempt of court proceedings seeking the imprisonment of a Shell Whistleblower, Dr John Huong: the ultimate David -v- Goliath battle. It is impossible to reconcile Shell's legal assault focused totally on information/articles/correspondence published on this website, with it's false claims to support freedom of expression on the Internet. Information about the litigation can be found on these leaflets.

Our dire warnings about Sakhalin II since July 2005
Leaked Shell Nigeria Report PEACE AND SECURITY IN THE NIGER DELTA: December 2003
The Wall Street Journal sketch above is reproduced in accordance with our "Fair Use Notice"
Jeroen is the Chief Executive Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc a multinational company registered in the UK
SAKHALIN-2 MEGA PROJECT IN RUSSIA: Royal Dutch Shell was the majority shareholder in the biggest energy project of its kind in the world. Jeroen tried to trick the Russians over a swap deal with Gazprom which related to the estimated Sakhalin-2 project costs, but came unstuck in a spectacular way. Jeroen had run up the white flag at the first threat of a dose of resource nationalisation by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Spotting a timid opponent, the Russians seized the Sakhalin-2 project from Shell. Humiliated but shameless, Jeroen responded by thanking President Putin for mugging Shell
MEMORY LOSS: Jeroen was faced with a potential 20 year jail sentence after signing accounts that massively overstated oil and gas reserves. Jeroen lost a third of Shell's hydrocarbonreserves during five restatements
COURT PROBLEMS: In April 2007 Jeroen agreed to settle for $450 million USD, a securities fraud claim in respect of the reserves scandal which has put put Shell's reputation in terms of global odium on a par with the likes of Enron
PENSION STABILITY: Jeroen has agreed to pay $90 million dollars to settle a pension fund claim from Shell's USA employees arising from the reserves scandal. A High Court Judge has found that Shell "unlawfully" misappropriated funds belonging to its Malaysian employees
OVERSPENDING:: Jeroen has admitted to being "staggered" at the $10 BILLION DOLLAR cost overrun at the delayed Sakhalin-2 project in Russia. He seems to have forgotten that he bears ultimate responsibility for this latest debacle
FORCES AT JEROEN'S DISPOSAL: In the ongoing Shell disputes with the Donovan's, including a domain name battle in 2005, Jeroen has at his disposal over 119,000 Shell employees, undercover agents and an army of lawyers
LANGUAGE SKILLS: Jeroen speaks a number of languages including a strange lingo full of unintelligible jargon. Perhaps this is the mythical language known as double-dutch?
PERSONALITY: Jeroen has been described in a ShellNews.net article as having all of the charisma of a piece of wet lettuce
ROYAL CONNECTIONS: Jeroen apparently has delusions of grandeur - perhaps arising from the "Royal" prefix to the Royal Dutch Shell name. His fleet of four luxury executive jets which each cost about £19.5m, are fitted with cocktail bars, thick carpets and hi-fi systems. Apparently its nothing but the best for this high flying Dutchman and alleged fraudster
IMPORTANCE OF ONLINE REPUTATION: In May 2006, it was reported that Shell is appointing a digital agency with"experience in turning around corporate reputations" "Shell seeks agency for online makeover" Jeroen is going to need all the help he can get!

Alfred is an 90 year old disgruntled former Shell marketing consultant (co-owner of this website)
SAKHALIN-2 MEGA PROJECT IN RUSSIA: The so called Kremlin "attack dog" Oleg Mitvol, has publicly stated that evidence for a planned $30 billion lawsuit against Shell by the Russian goverment was supplied by what he described as an anti-Shell website: royaldutchshellplc.com More information about the Donovan role in the Sakhalin-2 debacle can be found on the Wikipedia article Royaldutchshellplc.com and in the Prospect magazine article "Rise of the Gripe Site", which confirms that the intervention of Alfred Donovan and his son, John Donovan, in Sakhalin-2 has cost Shell billions
MEMORY LOSS: Alfred lost his walking stick while out shopping. However some traumatic memories never fade: The Independent: Lies, cover-ups, fat cats and an oil giant in crisis; Evening Standard: Shell 'has lied for 10 years'
COURT PROBLEMS: Alfred received a fine for driving at 37 miles an hour within a 30 miles per hour speed limit. Alfred would ideally like to take Shell directors to court for all of the threats made against him and his son over the years
PENSION STABILITY: Alfred has never had to sue the British Army in respect of his war disability pension, even though it has been coughing u p for it longer than it probably anticipated. Unlike Shell the Army has a caring attitude and does not censor former employees
OVERSPENDING: Alfred decided to go wild and invest in some Viagra but then forgot why he wanted it. He has decided to postpone plans to purchase a fleet of of luxury jets after scandal ridden Shell has cornered the market
FORCES AT ALFRED'S DISPOSAL: Alfred has no butler, no chauffeur, no spies, no lawyers, no private jets and no employees - just his son John - plus this low cost global platform on which to exercise his rights to freedom of expression
LANGUAGE SKILLS: At his age Alfred has to collect his thoughts before he says anything. He is however still capable of writing a lucid blunt article about Royal Dutch Shell
PERSONALITY: Alfred has been described as a "hard nut to crack". Jeroen would probably agree with one word of that description
ROYAL CONNECTIONS: In 1999 Alfred warned Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands about a "a culture of deception and cover-up deeply ingrained at the highest levels of Shell”. Unfortunately Queen Beatrix ignored his warnings. According to a Sunday Times article in 2004 the Dutch royal family lost £250,000 million on Shell shares as a result of the reserves scandal
SHELL TESTIMONIAL: For over a decade, Alfred has been acclaimed by Shell management for his communication skills, including innovative utilisation of the Internet. Please read the astonishing testimonial in 1995 in recognition of Alfred's unrivalled expertise in goading Shell

Mr Jorma Ollila is the Chairman designate of Royal Dutch Shell Plc. Reportedly a man of the highest repute, Mr Ollila took up his non-executive position on 1st June 2006. He has a reputation as a dynamic and highly successful businessman. It's a long time since Shell had someone combining all of these qualities. We wish him well.

LEGAL STATEMENT BY THE ROYAL DUTCH SHELL GROUP REGARDING THIS WEBSITE: I, Alfred Donovan, would like to remind Shell lawyers that the "group" has placed on record its acknowledgement of my freedom to air my opinions about Shell on ShellNews.net. I did of course already have rights under various freedom of expression conventions and declarations but its nice to know that Shell, one of the multinational rulers of our planet, recognises this fact. The Royal Dutch Shell Group made the following unusual statement in a legal document in regards to this website: - "The... Group... have been aware of the site since the beginning and whilst they would not endorse or agree with many of the comments made by the Respondent on the website, they have taken the view that the Respondent is entitled to express his opinions and to use the Internet as a medium for doing so." This statement drafted by Shell lawyers and authorised by the "Group", amounts to tacit acceptance/recognition of this website by Shell. It was submitted to The World Intellectual Property Organisation in May 2005 by Shell International Petroleum Company Limited on behalf of the Royal Dutch Shell Group in WIPO proceedings against me, Alfred Donovan, as the "Respondent" (owner) of the three domain names at the top of this web page, including www.royaldutchshellplc.com. (In August 2005, a three person independent panel of Internet domain name lawyers/experts unanimously rejected Shell's claim.)
It remains a mystery why Shell has taken an entirely different view regarding
the fundamental human right to freedom of expression in respect of the former Shell
geologist Dr John Huong (left), the well-known Shell whistle-blower, in relation to
postings under his name elsewhere on this same website. Eight companies within the Royal Dutch Shell Group
collectively obtained a High Court Injunction to silence him. That Injunction
remains in force. They have subsequently threatened him with imprisonment.
