LaRouche: Royal Dutch Shell Takeover of BP a Shell Game

June 4, 2010 (LPAC)—According to the Guardian, "doubts over BP's survival" could lead to a takeover of BP by Shell. "Analysts are wondering whether merger talks ... as happened between BP and its arch rival Shell in 2007 ñmight arise again as BP's ability to pay dividends is questioned, and its public credibility in America, which provides 40 percent of its income, plummets."

Lyndon LaRouche referred to such a takeover of BP by Royal Dutch Shell as a BP shell game. Such a takeover would represent the marriage of Prince Philip and the now deceased Prince Bernard. Shell is Bernard and BP is Philip. We should expropriate both Royal Dutch Shell and BP. BP committed a crime on our territory. They are liable for damage to our territory. BP and Shell are liable for the costs. These companies were created by Prince Philip and the late Nazi Prince of Holland, Bernard, the Nazi SS veteran, who served as Prince of Holland. Don't get sick in the Netherlands if you are over 50 years of age."
