In a remarkable display of hypocrisy, big oil firms like Shell are shamelessly reneging on their climate change commitments, opting to maintain their fossil fuel investments instead. This revelation has drawn criticism from none other than the US climate envoy, John Kerry, who rightfully called out these companies for moving in the wrong direction.
Senator Kerry, a key figure in President Biden’s net zero initiatives, expressed his concern about the unnecessary and dangerous backtracking on climate pledges. Speaking at a meeting of net zero financiers and philanthropists, he emphasized the importance of company chief executives investing in the future and accelerating the transition to renewable energy.read more

In a truly heartwarming display of corporate compassion, Wael Sawan, the CEO of Shell, has openly mused about the possibility of abandoning the UK to make even more money elsewhere. It seems that pesky ‘windfall’ taxes imposed by the UK Government on energy firms have left poor Shell feeling unappreciated. After all, why pay your fair share when you can simply relocate and maximize your profits?
Sawan wasted no time in painting a bleak picture of the future, warning that energy prices and bills could skyrocket if China’s increased demand coincides with a cold European winter. Oh, the horror! It’s almost as if Shell’s bottom line is more important than the financial well-being of ordinary people.read more

Information of interest to Shell Corporate Security managers in particular and Shell staff generally.
Supplied by an insider.
Shater’s case against Shell is far from over.
In fact, once his case was assigned to a fierce conservative Republican appointed Texas judge, Shater’s attorneys started working on other judicial avenues. That judge, Andrew Hanen, is a fierce Republican appointed conservative with bizarre anti-immigrant policies. He is also known as the DACA judge – ruling against DACA immigrants throwing the lives of more than 600,000 people in the US into tumult. The Texas Appeals Court that ruled against Shater is even more conservative with a number of Trump appointees. Discrimination cases were at their lowest level under the Trump administration.read more

British Spies, British Lies (James Hall vs Walied Shater)
I have never before seen a court document containing so many allegations of repeated lies by a top-level Shell official, supported by copious similar fact evidence of his alleged deceit.
By John Donovan
I reported in August 1917 that Mr Crockett Oaks III, Shell security manager for the Americas, received a ‘big bucks’ court case settlement from Shell.
The litigation arose from an alleged pattern of discrimination in favour of ‘White Brits’ by Shell and Shell Corporate Security VP James WD Hall, a British national.read more

Lies and deceit in Shell Corporate Security Department?
EXTRACT FROM ONE OF THE FEATURED COURT DOCUMENTS:
‘Shell’s Code of Conduct trumpets “honesty,” as one of the Company’s core values. See https://www.shell.com/about-us/our-values.html. But Shell permits Hall to lie with impunity and continues to enable, support, and vigorously defend him…’

Printed below is a Google Review of the employment attorney law firm Oberti Sullivan LLP fast gaining a reputation for successfully suing the unscrupulous oil giant Shell, multiple times.
It was posted by Michael Oliveri, the former senior U.S. military officer who sued Shell for age discrimination and retaliation after the energy giant revoked his job offer. His posting seems to confirm, as previously stated online, that Shell settled his claim.
HIS POSTING
Mark Oberti and Ed Sullivan are two fine attorneys. They recently represented me in an age discrimination case, taking on one of Houston’s oil giants. They brilliantly went toe to toe with their company’s battery of attorneys. Mark and Ed continuously provided their insight, guidance, and represented me vigorously. They quickly understood the nuances of my case and developed a winning strategy. They were always open, honest, and straight forward. If you’re seeking legal representation, Mark and Ed are your guys.
The same law firm has sued Shell several times on behalf of individuals, all making allegations against the boss of Shell global security James W.D. Hall (a British spook). They have represented Crockett Oaks III (former FBI agent), Michael Oliveri and Walied Shater (a former U.S. Secret Service Agent) and appear to be on a winning streak.
I invite Shell to contact me if, in fact, Shell did not settle the relevant claims for pots of money and I will happily publish a correction.
Today, we have news that Oberti Sullivan is representing Julia Shur, an employee of Shell who was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in June 2019. A year later, she was terminated for alleged performance reasons despite having led two transactions that resulted in more than $160 million in revenue for Shell that year.
A decision by Shell Oil Co. to reject the hiring recommendation of its former head of U.S. security has led to another discrimination lawsuit against the company, a subsidiary of the international oil major Royal Dutch Shell
Earlier this year Crockett Oaks III sued Shell for allegedly firing him after he objected to hiring preferences based on age and gender. Oaks and a selecition committee chose a 53-year-old man with a military background for a security advisor opening, but Shell executives allegedly blocked his hiring and directed Oaks to find a young, female candidate instead, according to court documents.read more

The falling out of Hall & Oaks…
This article is about litigation and controversy involving the head of Shell Global Corporate Affairs Security, James W.D. Hall and a succession of his accusers, starting with the Security Manager for Shell Oil Company, Crockett Oaks III.
The lawyers involved in the litigation have gone to great lengths to keep certain information from reaching the public, Shell shareholders and Shell employees.
So much for Shell directors solemn pledge of openness and honesty in all of Shell’s dealings. Apparently, that does not apply to court proceedings. Shell is more interested in maintaining confidentiality about high-level skullduggery. I think it’s called a cover-up. read more

Allegations and Litigation Relating to Spymasters in Shell’s Corporate Security Department
By John Donovan
See below a self-explanatory email I sent yesterday to named senior executives at Shell.
It mentions the current momentous events at Royal Dutch Shell, although that is not the subject of the email. In that connection, I have not spotted any reference in current news coverage to the Dutch police raid at Shell’s current HQ in The Hague.
That astonishing development may have fuelled a growing feeling that the Dutch government has turned anti-Shell by allowing Nigerian and climate change litigation against Shell to proceed in the Dutch courts and tightening up Dutch tax regulations affecting Shell.read more

Shell energy are woefully inept: Shell energy are woefully inept at proving a proper service
I can't give 0 stars or I would, I can't pay my energy prepay bills no matter how I try. No paypoint cards supplied in nearly 2 months & the shell energy App doesen't work, it takes my money & it disappear's into the ether until my bank returns it 10 days later. The most woefully poor service I've had from any company in 35 years. Date of experience: 19 September 2023
Broadband installed but wont work on PC…: Broadband installed but wont work on PC have spent over 2 hours on 2 occasions with tech support. Charming and polite however!!

Biggest bullies and scammers I've ever…: Biggest bullies and scammers I've ever come across. They tried to bully me into paying a massive bill when we moved into our new home, I refused and asked them to review...I had to go as far as processing 3 x complaints. However, in the meantime they kept sending threatening letters, they reported against my credit file and
eventually after threats of ombudsman etc they reviewed everything and admitted their mistake
and adjusted the actual figure from when I moved into the house...which was massively different. All the while, refusing to correct my credit file and a couple of weeks later (before I even had the new and adjusted bill) they processed missed payments against my file. We're now taking it legal against them
Date of experience: 16 March 2023
Useless Broadband and customer service: SOOOO shocking, customer service useless and very unhelpful. Kept loosing connection and used all my data up as phone kept leaving the WIFI. They offer a cooling off period of 2 weeks but that 2 weeks is the start up process so its too late once you realise how useless it is. For a global brand we have a very Micky mouse service. We have wasted hours and hours trying to get this sorted and the saga still continues.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Date of experience: 16 September 2023
The worst of the lot!: Will never go with this company again. Absolute nightmare and utterly horrid people to deal with. Funny how all their positive 5* reviews mention a specific agent's name. Not sure I have seen more obviously fake reviews in my life - they can't even get that right. Rates are not competitive. No response to complaints, endless errors even for the most basic of tasks, said no account with given number despite having forwarded them the Shell email confirming account no, data leaks - and all this within just a few days of dealing with them. I could not have switched out faster. Octopus Energy = so far amazing! Know what they're doing and do not drain energy and time from its customers.

Avoid shell energy at all cost: It is Your mistake/fault if you use this company
Avoid shell energy at all cost
It will be your fault if you join shell energy.
Honestly, If I will have to stop using the Internet at all I will not use Shell energy, and I would rather die from cold or go out and collect wood and come home to use it for cooking or to make my house warm/ heating it than to use shell energy .
They are the worst ever company I have ever dealt with : they are all about money collection nothing more.
Join them and you will pay the price and I assure you will not have time to regret it.
Be careful and stay safe.

Just don't. Google another company.: Please use any other service other than shell. I promise you they are not worth it. They refuse to fix issues, hang up on customers when they don't know how to answer basic questions, the relentlessly call you 5+ times a day once you file a complaint. I've never hated a service more. Please leave me alone Shell, you are the worst company and frankly, I cannot wait to get out of my contract with you. I am considering eating the fee just so I never have to speak with this nagging service again. Oh and also, the internet sucks and always disconnects.
