“If Shell’s history were a movie, it’d be banned in most democracies.”
🕵️♂️ THE WITNESS WALKS IN
It started with a letter.
It ended with sirens in The Hague.
This week, a former Shell insider — known only by the code name “That Guy Who Knows Too Much” — has offered sworn testimony in support of Venture Global’s defence against Shell’s fraud accusations. But the real headline? He’s not testifying about Venture Global.
He’s testifying about Shell.
Specifically: Shell’s integrity, a concept he describes as “fictional,” “strategically suspended,” and “last seen around 1973.”
🔒 WHAT HE KNOWS (AND WHY IT’S FREAKING THEM OUT)
“Let me be clear,” the witness wrote, “this isn’t just about LNG. This is about a company whose understanding of ‘fair competition’ once included undercover agents, black-bag burglaries, and corporate espionage so convoluted it gave MI6 whiplash.”
Among the items he’s ready to reveal:
-
Shell-paid informants planted in NGOs and activist groups
-
By co-incidence or otherwise, staged burglaries at the homes of opposition lawyers and witnesses
-
Surveillance operations targeting journalists
-
Courtroom manipulations and deception, including inventing evidence that did not exist
-
A persistent ability to lose documents right before disclosure deadlines, often citing “a mild offshore breeze”
🔍 OPERATION: CLEAN ENERGY (COVERT EDITION)
While Shell’s public image smiles through green rebrandings and rainbow-washed logos, this witness alleges the company’s black-ops file reads more like a Bond villain’s diary:
“They had an internal team that treated legal battles like Cold War skirmishes. The difference is — during the Cold War, there were rules.”
“Shell’s definition of ‘transparency’ is hiring private investigators to find out what the other side thinks transparency means — then discredit them.”
🧑⚖️ NEXT STEPS: IF THE COURT CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH
If accepted by the court, this testimony would mark the first time Shell’s internal playbook is aired in a legal setting with cross-examination, rather than quietly redacted and filed under “settled out of court.”
Shell’s legal team, reportedly last seen printing reams of NDAs while sobbing into bespoke briefcases, has declined to comment — other than issuing a statement saying the company “welcomes transparency” and is “committed to sustainable denial.”
🕯️ HISTORIC RELEVANCE
Shell’s legacy of dirty tricks isn’t just folklore — it’s documented history:
-
The Nigeria case? Bribery, cover-ups, and one of the most elaborate surveillance campaigns ever aimed at a human rights hero.
-
The Brent Spar affair? PR sabotage dressed as environmental outreach.
-
Internal whistleblower suppression? Award-winning, if there were awards for that.
None of this bears any relationship to Shell’s claimed business principles.
