Shell guilty of contempt

Today in Westport District Court was supposed to see the sentencing of Shell for the contempt of court charge that they were found guilty of on the 4th September. However Shell sought to have the case referred to the High court to have Judge Devins explain how she found them guilty of the contempt of court charge. Basically Shell are claiming that Judge Devins has erred in law in her decision (however they failed to specify how they think she has erred). Shell quoted from a law enacted in 1857 in order to seek to have the case referred to the High Court.

Judge Devins adjourned the case to October 8th, when she will decide whether the case will be sent to the High Court.

One guess as to why Shell sought this obscure course of action is that they are trying to delay the sentencing until after An Bord Pleanala decide on the planning application, in which the illegal information obtained on Rossport Commonage was used.

My confidence in the good judge is not strengthened by observing what her husband has been up to -- using scientific fraud (and his culpable ignorance) to suppress a public information report.

Royal Dutch Shell saved Hitler and the Nazi Party

... Further research has revealed evidence that a huge injection of Royal Dutch Shell funds by Sir Henri, saved the Nazi Party from collapse and in so doing, indirectly caused millions of deaths in World War II.

I have provided extensive verification evidence from reputable independent sources of the Royal Dutch Shell connection with Hitler and the Nazi. This includes evidence of a four-day meeting between Sir Henri and Adolf Hitler at his Mountain top retreat, The Eagles Nest in Berchtesgaden.

Declassified US intelligence records show Royal Dutch Shell was viewed as “a Nazi collaborator that used Hitler’s slave laborers”.
