Shell's grip on Nigerian state revealed

WikiLeaks cables: Shell's grip on Nigerian state revealed | Business | The Guardian

"There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nothing hidden that will not be made known. Everything youhave said in the dark will be heard in the daylight; what you have whispered in locked rooms will be proclaimed from the rooftops.”

The oil giant Shell claimed it had ins erted staff into all the main ministries of the Nigerian government, giving it access to politicians' every move in the oil-rich Niger Delta, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable.

The company's top executive in Nigeria told US diplomats that Shell had seconded employees to every relevant department and so knew "everything that was being done in those ministries". She boasted that the Nigerian government had "forgotten" about the extent of Shell's infiltration and was unaware of how much the company knew about its deliberations.

This sounds so familiar, similar to what they have done to Kimberley Land Council (KLC) inserting ex Shell lawyers into the organisation. The oil & gas industries all have their subversives embedded in the Media, Universities, Bank Boardrooms, Government and or their Committees. This is not new, it’s just now we have very effective means to investigate, We now have a birds’ eye view map of all their interconnecting links, the role they play in the manipulation of the general public and their controlling ways.

All Redhand has ever wanted to do was to assist people to see the truth … about landing the world’s largest LNG refineries on our small Dampier Peninsular because without information you cannot make informed decisions as a public. Redhand had hoped to provoke community, regional, national and international discussion, debates, and we live in hope of creating reform, raising awareness and inspire people to think globally and ACT locally.

Redhand does not understand why so many Australian are politically apathetic, given the fact that no one is pointing a gun at us. After all, the social justice and human rights violations and the environmental destruction (planned) or concurrent are committed by those in power and the acquiescent public servants, (who service no one but themselves and their mortgage payments) can be suffocating, and the sense of powerlessness that erupts can be paralyzing, especially when …this government’s evildoers almost always get away with their lies, their cover-ups and crimes.

But, the times are changing, so be on guard.
