BP + Shell: A Merger of Big Oil, Bigger Lies, and Corporate Espionage

BP + Shell: A Merger of Big Oil and Corporate Espionage: When Spying on Environmentalists Just Isn’t Enough, Merge and Double the Surveillance!

Forget the usual corporate greed—if BP and Shell merge, they won’t just be pooling their oil assets, they’ll be consolidating their dirty tricks, too. Because what’s better than one morally bankrupt fossil fuel giant? Two, working together to crush dissent, spy on activists, and ensure the climate crisis is well-funded for decades to come.

BP + Shell: More Than Just Oil Profiteers—They’re Professional Spymasters, Too

Both BP and Shell have spent decades using the shady London-based intelligence firm Hakluyt to spy on activists, journalists, and anyone else who dares to question their environmental destruction. While Greenpeace and other climate groups were busy warning the world about the climate crisis, BP and Shell were busy infiltrating them.

Yes, these oil giants didn’t just pump out carbon emissions—they pumped out corporate spies, too. Hakluyt, founded by former MI6 operatives, was their go-to private intelligence agency, tracking and undermining anyone who threatened Big Oil’s grip on power.

“BP and Shell were so obsessed with Greenpeace, they had Hakluyt embed operatives inside environmental groups to feed them intelligence.”

With a BP-Shell merger, imagine the combined intelligence operations: More surveillance, more underhanded tactics, and an even greater ability to crush opposition before it becomes a problem. Forget fighting climate change—these guys are fighting democracy itself.

A Merger Made in Oil-Soaked, Spying-Fueled Hell

Here’s what a merged BP-Shell espionage empire would look like:

• Corporate Espionage on Steroids – Hakluyt gets a bigger budget to track activists, sabotage climate campaigns, and keep fossil fuel profits flowing.
• Wall Street’s Favorite Dirty Players – A BP-Shell hybrid would almost certainly list on the New York Stock Exchange, where regulation is weak, corporate espionage is barely punished, and investors like BlackRock and Vanguard will happily bankroll the surveillance state.
• Targeting Critics More Aggressively – Expect even more covert operations against Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and any climate movement that dares to challenge them.
• Silencing Whistleblowers – With Shell’s history of spying on its own employees and BP’s use of corporate intelligence against critics, a merger would make it even harder for insiders to expose their wrongdoing.

BP and Shell: The Fossil Fuel Stasi?

We already know that Shell used Hakluyt in Nigeria, helping to undermine resistance against its environmental destruction. The company’s role in targeting Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni movement is well-documented. Now, imagine BP joining forces with Shell’s dark ops division—with billions in profits behind them, they could silence opposition across the globe.

“This merger isn’t just about oil—it’s about power, surveillance, and eliminating the opposition before they can even speak.”

BP and Shell’s Dirty Legacy: Fuelling Apartheid in South Africa

As if spying on activists wasn’t bad enough, BP and Shell also played a crucial role in propping up South Africa’s apartheid regime. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, both companies supplied the racist regime with oil, ensuring that the government could continue enforcing brutal oppression while facing international sanctions.

“Shell and BP’s fuel kept the apartheid war machine running, helping the regime suppress resistance and brutalize Black South Africans.”

Both companies ignored global outrage and continued their operations in South Africa long after other corporations cut ties. A merger between these two would unite not just their oil wealth but also their disgraceful history of supporting state oppression and corporate complicity in human rights abuses.

Shell’s Decades-Long Vendetta Against Whistleblowers

One of the most relentless targets of Shell’s global spying operation has been John Donovan, the owner of royaldutchshellplc.com, the website where this article is posted. Shell ordered a worldwide surveillance campaign against Donovan in a futile attempt to suppress whistleblower activity. The company even tried—and failed—to seize his website’s domain name through legal proceedings.

The acrimony between Donovan and Shell has now spanned more than three decades. Shell desperately tries, at times, to shut down critical reporting on its corruption, environmental devastation, and corporate espionage. Yet, despite all their efforts, Donovan remains a thorn in Shell’s side, exposing their misdeeds to the world.

Who’s Funding This Corporate Surveillance State?

Enter BlackRock and Vanguard, the financial overlords bankrolling Big Oil’s every move. These investment giants hold massive stakes in both BP and Shell, and they’re not just sitting back watching the chaos unfold—they’re funding it.

A BP-Shell merger isn’t just a business deal—it’s an investment in climate destruction, mass surveillance, and total corporate impunity.

The Bottom Line? This Merger Must Be Stopped.

London’s stock market is already reeling, and if BP and Shell merge, expect them to run straight to Wall Street, where they can operate with even less accountability.

A BP-Shell merger would be the perfect machine for spying, polluting, and profiting off planetary destruction. So the next time Shell or BP claim they’re leading the “energy transition,” remember: They’re leading us straight into a future where corporations don’t just own the oil—they own the truth.
