Oil Industry quid pro quo?

It's time for Bernie to come clean about his involvement in a mostly forgotten episode that has been widely ignored in the main stream media. Demographic analysis suggests that local-level politicians and soon-to-be political leaders were frequently involved. This was a scheme orchestrated by the Shell Oil Co. (subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch giant Royal Dutch Shell), the main purpose of which was to influence public opinion and gain a stronger position in the U.S. oil market.
Now, in this pivotal election year, we deserve the truth. It's time for Bernie to come clean. We must demand a straight answer: Bernie Sanders, did you accept a free steak knife in exchange for a fill-up? Tell us the truth.
