As of June 2007, I have redesigned and relaunched the site at www.thedissidentfrogman.com/blog
This page won’t be updated anymore, and remains here for archiving purposes. After all, that’s a piece of my history.

I’m just next door, really. I have consolidated all the content of the site since 2002, and I’m running on a much improved software.

Je ne suis pas loin, vraiment. J'ai consolidé tout le contenu depuis 2002, et je tourne sur un logiciel bien plus amélioré.

Fired from France by the dissident frogman

The European Foundation in its Intelligence Digest # 175, quotes an interview with Winrich Behr, (who joined Jean Monnet, the European Union "father" and is listed in the honorary committee of the Jean Monnet association), in La Quinzaine Européenne, a pro-EU monthly:
« I see no problem in transferring foreign and security policy to the federal European level. »
Well, of course...

Winrich Behr apparently lead a rich and captivating life, considering that he served in the 6th German army commander's staff under Marshal Paulus and then under Marshal Rommel during WWII (Scroll down to #11).

Mr Behr holds the Knight Cross of the Afrika Corps.

(Blunt, heavy, persistent silence)

As far as the EU is concerned, Mr Behr believes that:
« There is not much difference between the president of the High Authority [the forerunner of the European Commission] and a Heeresgruppe [army group]. In both cases, there is a chief and his collaborators who must give him solutions in a short time. »
Sure. What can't be done by a Panzer division can be done by a bureaucrats' federation.

Glad to know that there are people with expertise around this huge bureaucratic, freedom destroying superstate.

The European Union. Pick up your favorite Socialism flavor.

We have all of them.
European Foundation dans son Intelligence Digest n°175, cite une interview de Winrich Behr, (qui s'est rangé aux côtés de Jean Monnet, le "père" de l'Union Européenne et figure dans la liste du comité d'honneur de l'association Jean Monnet), dans La Quinzaine Européenne, mensuel pro-UE :
« Je ne vois pas de problème à transférer les politiques étrangères et de sécurité au niveau de l'Europe fédérale. »
Non, bien entendu...

Winrich Behr a apparemment mené une vie riche et captivante, si l'on considère qu'il a servi dans l'état-major de la 6ème armée allemande sous le Maréchal Paulus puis sous le Maréchal Rommel pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale (Scrollez vers le bas jusqu'au n°11).

Mr Behr a reçu la croix de chevalier de la croix de fer de l'Afrika Corps.

(Silence franc, lourd et persistant)

En ce qui concerne l'Union Européenne, Mr Behr croit que :
« Il n'y a pas tant de différence entre le président de la Haute Autorité [précurseur de la Commission Européenne] et un Heeresgruppe [groupe d'armée] dans les deux cas, il y a un chef et ses collaborateurs qui doivent lui fournir des solutions dans un temps très court. »
Sur. Ce qui ne peut être fait par une division de Panzers est à la portée d'une fédération de bureaucrates.

Content de savoir qu'il se trouve des individus compétents autour de ce gigantesque et liberticide super état bureaucratique.

L'Union Européenne. Choisissez votre parfum de socialisme préféré.

Nous les avons tous.

I just recently found your site via daybydaycartoon.com, and I must say that I am heartily impressed. Not only are you a remarkably good writer, I have very rarely heard or read such clear, sensible and right-minded arguments. You've won yourself yet another fan. In case you haven't already seen this, I recommend reading this blog: http://www.livejournal.com/users/kim_jong_il__ I find it very useful as a pick me up after having to listen to various diatribes on why the US is evil, and ridiculous accounts of how marvelous communism is. It'll take that nasty socialism taste right out. Thanks again.
P.S. start at the beginning, it's funnier that way.

Eh, I am also new to this site...there seems to be some sort of error on the page, as I can't read what you post on the right side of the site: P
Seriously, what you've stated here is one of those scary EU things. They declare their wishes for more state power so brazenly, it's striking. I am currently working on residency here in Eastern Europe, and I see the singularity of the EU drawing the East in. I figure I'll be ejecting by then, back to the US.
Still, I don't see how a former military man considers his analogy sound. An army that centralizes all decision-making and solutions to an authority who probably does not have as much experience in the location as the regional commander, or possibly no experience in the military at all, is a recipe for Germany, er, military failure.
I am no expert on the EU's dizzying structure, but from the jist of what Behr stated, it seems that this is what he is advocating.
