"Anti-Petrodollar" CEO Of French Energy Giant Total Dies In Freak Plane Crash In Moscow

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Three months ago, the CEO of Total, Christophe de Margerie, dared utter the phrase heard around the petrodollar world, "There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars,"  as we noted here. Today, RT reports the dreadful news that he was killed in a business jet crash at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow after the aircraft hit a snow-plough on take-off. The airport issued a statement confirming "a criminal investigation has been opened into the violation of safety regulations," adding that along with 3 crewmembers on the plane, the snow-plough driver was also killed.

 

De Margerie, 63, joined Total in 1974 after graduating from the École Supérieure de Commerce in Paris. He served in several positions in the Finance Department and Exploration & Production division. In 1995, he became President of Total Middle East before joining the Total's Executive Committee as the President of the Exploration & Production division in May 1999. In May 2006, he was appointed a member of the Board of Directors. He was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total on May 21, 2010.

As RT reports,

According to preliminary data, the light aircraft collided with a snow-cleaning machine on takeoff, a source at the capital’s airport told RIA.

 

The aircraft was sending distress signals while still in the air and reporting an engine fire and fuselage damage, LifeNews reports. Upon crashing on the runway, the aircraft was engulfed in flames, reportedly killing everyone on board.

 

While initials reports suggested four people died in the tragedy, officials report that five bodies were found at the crash site, one allegedly being the driver of the snow-cleaning vehicle.

 

Vnukovo Airport has temporarily suspended all flights following the incident.

 

“A criminal investigation has been opened into the violation of safety regulations after a light aircraft crash in the capital's Vnukovo airport,” transport official Tatyana Morozova told RIA.

 

An investigative group is working at the crash site, Morozova added. In addition to people who were on board the plane, she said, the driver snowplow was killed.

 

Debris from the aircraft was scattered up to 200 meters from the crash site, according to the rescue services. The engine was found some 50 meters from the crash site, while one of the landing gears was ripped off and discovered nearly 200 meters from the main mass of debris.

The plane he was aboard...

*  *  *

Of course this could merely be a desparately sad accident... aside from the coincidence of this so recently...

Christophe de Margerie, the CEO of Total (the world's 13th biggest oil producer and Europe's 2nd largest), believes "There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars." Clearly, based onhis comments, that we have passed peak Petrodollar.

As Reuters reports,

Oil major Total's chief executive said on Saturday the euro should have a bigger role in international trade although it was not possible to do without the U.S. dollar.

 

Christophe de Margerie was responding to questions about calls by French policymakers to find ways at EU level to bolster the use of the euro in international business following a record U.S. fine for BNP.

 

...

 

"There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars," he said. He said the fact that oil prices are quoted in dollars per barrel did not mean that payments actually had to be made in that currency.

So even a major beneficiary of the status quo appears to see the end in sight for the Petrodollar.

*  *  *

Furthermore, despite Western-imposed sanctions on Russia that prohibit western financing and technology transfer to some Russian energy projects, Total is continuing to pursue a natural gas project in Yamal, a joint venture with Russia's Novatek and China's CNPC.

“Can we live without Russian gas in Europe? The answer is no. Are there any reasons to live without it? I think – and I'm not defending the interests of Total in Russia – it is a no,” the Total boss told Reuters back in summer.

*  *  *

And of course, it had to happen in Russia!

Uwe Barschel, Juergen Moellemann, Joerg Haider, Wim Duisenberg (ECB), Slobodan Milosevic, Rudolf Hess, Jassir Arafat, Hugo Chavez,...

And it's also not only about the liquidated problem. It's also a message: Hollande, now you know, which path you should not follow.

The globalist terror regime does on the political level what it does with countries and nations.

1. The gang killing has a function: to show everyone IN THE GANG what happens to traitors.

The Total CEO was part of which gang? The powerful anti-petro-$ gang? :P

France has left NATO and is alliied with Russia? Did I miss something?

2. You don't kill your few important alliies if you do not come to an agreement. You kill your enemies, not your friends.

Shame it happened, but it's... Ballsy.  Fucking BALLSY.

Guess the message went out.  Makes Russia and its FSB/security look bad, because the next guy won't be so keen to work with Russia.  If they want to regain some respect, they'll have to counter with "accidents" of their own.  BTW, as this one has shown, the simpler the better.  And making it look like a freak accident tops it all, of course.

Anymore, it could be damn near anybody. With the principal of keeping it simple, it was probably someone who shorted the company in some way or another - or someone who was long a competing company. Picking someone that made a heavily political statement to kill simply reduces the risk of being caught/suspected of wrongdoing.

I'll take that under advisement.  Still, it's hard to beat the sheer determination and will-to-die that slamming almost a dozen 10-penny nails into your body takes as a method of "suicide".  You gotta REALLY want to die to send yourself out that way.

The determination factor is key, and most striking.  I have, in fact slammed a 10-penny nail through my hand and into a 2x4.  Once.  I did not then proceed to do it eleven more times.  That's where the determination comes into play.  I was just being clumsy at the time though, and had no intention of suicide.

And your avatar appears to be a Bostitch nail gun.  I was using an old Senco with a dodgy safety guard mechanism. Charcoal gray in color, not mustardy orange.

Not exactly my proudest moment with a nail gun 24 years ago. Don't remember the brand, but I do remember the incident....quite clearly in fact. I nail my upper thigh muscle right to, and thru, the bone preventing me from straightening out my leg. It complicated getting me off the second floor when no stairs had yet been installed.

They called me "The Nailman" at the hospital. :-)

Chapter four of "Welcome to the Insane Asylum" tells the story. Look for the sub title "Fear the Nailman".

I am the proud possessor of a SNP for high pain tolerance.

At a young age, a truck crushed the lower part of my leg.

I got up, tried walking home, and promptly fell down. I got up a second time and hopped on one leg to our mailbox, about 60 feet, leaving a nice trail of blood. A good gene variant to have, except for ignoring the blood loss.

And I can imagine how a situation that led to that x-ray image would teach a fella quite a bit, were he of a contemplative nature.  I didn't recognize my nailgun mishap as being revelatory at the time, but it sort of was, in hindsight.  Yikes, that's a cringe-inducing x-ray.  "Ouch" doesn't quite cut it.

"The aircraft was sending distress signals while still in the air and reporting an engine fire and fuselage damage. . . "

 

That sounds more like an uncontained engine disintigration to me.  

 

Do we know if it hit the snow plow first, or if the engine problems came first?  The only engine you could actually hit would be #2 - and it should be able to fly on the other two engines. . .

What, were you some kind of airplane mechanic!?! 

oh, wait..  =]

Was the driver's body actually confused with passengers? How close to 'THE SITE' was he? Does that plane have lift at 5mph so the wreckage got entangled with the snowplow driving alongside?

Right now is the time to watch for mistakes. Once the 'experts' get their hands on this thing and they feed the data THROUGH WATSON you get THIS SHIT:

It will be found that the jet flew near the snow-plow which knocked loose a fuel line causing the plow to blow as if it had 2lbs of C4 in an inverted shape charge below the engine block creating a plume of fire in the air, upon which the heat entered the storage area at the rear of the plane causing the loosely stored contracts and paperwork from the weeks' meetings to spontaneously combust. It was at this time the distress signal was sent but soon thereafter, the plane pancaked seat by seat which blew out the windows causing great friction and heat, which is why it is not surprising that the wreckage has become a molten pool of 2500o  aluminum with all evidence destroyed...  and never mind any market puts placed just before this freak accident - those damn things are untraceable.

Oh, but meanwhile while the plane was falling apart, the plow driver was so far unharmed going down the tarmac carried by momentum - he didn't actually get killed until the plane fell back down on top of him and that's why he was at the 'crash site'. IBM is da BOMB!

The deal was comenced, the snowplow was for moving the Gold into the airplane.

Don't you guys know anything about Russia?

CIA is back in play...  Or do you think it was one of the ZH Putin man crush team?

Have you ever heard of a plane hitting a snow plow on the runway during takeoff!?  Me either.  I've lived in Chicago for 40 years.  Two major airports (O'Hare and Midway) millions of flights and a hellava lot of snow over the years.  Never heard of a plane hitting a snow plow on a runway.  Then again, none of those flights carried a CEO who said 'fuck you' to the petro$.  You're probably right.  Just a coincidence.

The snow plow driver was dead before the crash, check for footprints in the snow leading away from the plow.

Either that, or it got 'positioned' by remote control, or the plane was given an 'OK' to take off before it should have been by a controller who knew better...and was paid well. No way this was an accident. Just. No. Way.

But he was so much more than just "one anti-petro dollar speaker". He was a CEO of Total SA... a job position that often entails a willingness to have the words "trial" or "criminal charges" auto-fill in Google along with your name if you want that job.

The list of those of those with motive is very long.
The list of those of those with means is long.
The list of those of those with opportunity would be short.

Just reading world history, Seasmoke. I used to be a history buff.

 

One common line all over world history anywhere in the world:

Elite A wars against Elite B to gain control of real assets.

 

King kills son, Son kills king, heir 2 kills heir 1, Duke kills Count, Oligarch kills Oligarch.

Humans never change.

Were you honestly reading industry you would admit that the players known for using terrorism, assassinations and indimidation to achieve their goals in the 20th century are not the ones you point your fingers at.

Of course I do not expect you to honestly identify those players.

What you are doing smells of US State Department's and general Western PR's techniques of ascribing to your enemies of thing you yourself are guilty of.
