Gas Flare at Shell European HQ at profit announcement

category international | anti-capitalism | news report author Saturday May 05, 2007 01:30author by IT READER - Shell profits better than expected Report this post to the editors

Quarterly profits up again

Shell has announced its quarterly profits of 6,900,000,000 US dollars are better than expected. Companies don't get this successful by being nice, of course, so here's a brief video showing some of the energy giant's activities around the world.

Gas Flare at Shell HQ
Gas Flare at Shell HQ

Shell's next AGM is at the Hague on May 15th next.

Activists from around the world will gather to confront the company.

In a protest yesterday at Shell's HQ, the reality of gas flaring in the Niger Delta was brought home to the company's workers.

In this country, the company has supported by the Fianna Fáil party in the scandalous robbery of Ireland's natural resources, as well as the destroying the Erris environment while putting the health and safety of the people there at risk.
Fine Gael has broadly supported the government line.

Only the Greens and Sinn Féin, and some members of the Labour Party, have any chance of influencing the next government to stand up to Shell, since the SP and the independents have ruled themselves out of coalition.

Many people will use their vote on May 24th in the general election to punish the pro-Shell political parties.

Mayo Sinn Fein Cllr Gerry Murray has recently discovered that Fergus Cahill of the Irish Offshore Lobby Group has wriiten to every TD in an effort to stop local councils around the country from following Mayo's lead and passing motions calling for the renegotiation of the deal which allows Ireland's resources to be taken without any lasting benefit for the people of Ireland.

Speaking after attending a session of the Environmental Protection Agency’s oral hearing in Belmullet, Cllr Murray said:

“Shell, Statoil and others in the oil and gas industry are clearly worried that the message is getting through to the public that the Irish people should and could benefit far more from the resources found in our own coastal waters,” Cllr Murray said.

“They have tasked their agents to try and counter the overwhelming case put forward by Sinn Féin and others that this government and its predecessors capitulated to the multinationals and deprived the Irish people of much needed revenue – revenue that could have been used to fund our health and education systems and real infrastructural development in the west of Ireland.

“Shell and their friends in this Government know that any deal negotiated can be revisited. I recently brought information into the public domain on how the Democratic Party in the US pushed through legislation enabling that government to increase the revenue take from oil and gas finds. It can be done. Sinn Féin are committed to renegotiating terms on previous, current and potential finds in Irish waters.

Well done Joe your continued boycott of shell should be admired by all. Its people like you we should all emulate. Good luck with the diet of crayons.

I am an ordinary working citizen with a family and a mortgage.
I have boycotted Shell since 1995 for its part in the murder of the nine Nigerian environmental activists.
I look forward to the day when Shell will be held accountable for its vile deeds.
The shell shareholders share the blame for the activities of the corporation.

Well done to those who expose the corrupt nature of Shell management and their henchmen.
The legacy of such Shell workers is illness, death, pollution and corruption.
What a waste of a life!

My 10 yr. old asked me if Shell is so-called because it takes from under the sea or because
it might explode. Out of the mouths of babes....

We owe it to our kids & heirs (as well as to those killed & dispossessed fighting for human rights & environment against the likes of Shell) to hold Shell accountable for their actions. It can be done by acting in solidarity with the people of Mayo in their struggle to keep their homeland clean. Send Shell to Sea!
