UPDATE:
Final words from the dissident frogman and miscellaneous apologies here

I'm just coming back from Normandy and still have to unpack, but I wanted to offer you a new game to play, particularly if you're in for a D-Day tour this summer.

If you planned it, you may want to cancel your visit to the Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie (Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy) in Bayeux.

Unless you would like to play this game, I told you about.

It's called: "Guess what's missing at a museum dedicated to the Battle of Normandy, 1944?"

Let's see if you're as good at this game as the dissident frogman:

1) Guess what's missing on an empty pole, around a monument to the liberators in the Museum's park up front?



2) Guess what's missing in an empty space in the lapel pin's display case at the Museum's shop?



3) Guess what's missing on an empty pedestal on top of the Museum shop's checkout, at the exit?



That game is piece of cake right?

I could fire up a ferocious comment but I'm still disgusted by these three "coincidences".
What's more, I couldn't get any lucid and convincing explanation for this "fortuitous" accrual.

But maybe you can:

Bayeux's Mayor office:
cabinetdumaire@mairie-bayeux.fr

The Memorial Museum:
museedelabataille@free.fr
Boulevard Fabian Ware - 14400 Bayeux
Phone : +33 (0)2 31 51 46 90
Fax : +33 (0)2 31 51 46 91

As a reference, the direct link to this post is:

Next year, we'll commemorate the 60 years of D-Day and the beginning of the liberation of Europe, from the West (on the East, the Red Army led a conquest war, multiplying the exactions. Not a liberation one).

I'm sure the Museum's administration or Bayeux's town hall (which, in fact, I suspect to be the same) can come up with a good reason for this weighty absence.

And explain us the game's rules.

UPDATE:
From Bulgaria, Jkrank weights in at Sofia Sideshow, with an inspiring template, in case you'd want to ask the Museum's staff to explain the game's rules.

Jkrank is not the mean-spirited type.

Fortunately.

Else, he would have written down the address of the Museum and suggested an idea that would add to the already prodigious records of international aid coming from the United States.

He's just too magnanimous in my opinion.

Don't forget about the Mayor's office though.

UPDATE II:
You might want to have a closer look...

the empty pole
the empty space
the empty pedestal
UPDATE III:
For our third rate experts in photo editing who swallow without bating an eye the assertions of any given dictator when he swear he's peaceful even though he "slightly" exterminated a part of his population sometimes but detect a plot in humble photos such as the ones illustrating this post, there goes the high resolution versions.
Careful, it's heavy.

the empty pole
the empty space
the empty pedestal

And oh... I'm not going back on that anymore. Those who want to believe these pictures are fakes are probably those who bought Meyssan's lamentable theory. So yeah, no plane crashed on the Pentagone, these pictures have been doctored and the CIA is responsible for all the misery in the world.

Thanks for not leaving your alternative reality too often.

Expect more about Normandy in the coming days - Joe is fine though, but I have a few things to say and show you about Tommy.

However, coffee first. And unpacking.
Dirty underwear, missing socks to generate a usable pair, joy of the world traveler.

I'm awfully late with the mail. I was before leaving for Normandy and of course, it got worse.
My sincere apology to all the people who wrote me lately and are expecting an answer.

That rules out the pathetic assclown coming from the company that fences the State monopoly on the routing of written correspondence - as a fact, you should be slaving away to pretend you're deserving the salary your employer is stealing partly in my pocket, instead of spending the day browsing the Web and voicing afflictive opinions in a chancy French, you feckless parasite.

Nevertheless I will write back to the friends, I promise.

MISE Á JOUR II :
Derniers mots du dissident frogman et diverses excuses ici

Je viens juste de rentrer de Normandie et il me faut déballer mes valises, mais je voulais vous proposer un nouveau jeu, particulièrement si vous envisagiez une tournée Jour-J cet été.

Si vous l'aviez mis au programme, vous voudrez peut être annuler la visite au Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie à Bayeux.

Sauf si vous avez envie de jouer au jeu en question, bien entendu.

C'est : "Devinez ce qui manque dans un musée dédié à la Bataille de Normandie, 1944 ?"

Voyons si vous êtes aussi doué à ce jeu que le dissident frogman :

1) Devinez ce qui manque sur un mât vide autour d'une stèle dédiée aux libérateurs, dans le parc du musée, juste devant ?



2) Devinez ce qui manque dans un espace vide dans la vitrine des pin's de la boutique du musée ?



3) Devinez ce qui manque dans un socle vide sur les caisses de la boutique du musée, à la sortie ?



Super fastoche ce jeu, pas vrai ?

Je pourrais lâcher un commentaire féroce mais je suis toujours écoeuré par ces trois "coïncidences".
De plus, je n'ai pas pu obtenir d'explication claire et convaincante pour cette accumulation "fortuite".

Mais peut-être le pouvez vous :

Cabinet du maire de Bayeux :
cabinetdumaire@mairie-bayeux.fr

Le Musée Mémorial :
museedelabataille@free.fr
Boulevard Fabian Ware - 14400 Bayeux
Tél. : 02 31 51 46 90
Fax : 02 31 51 46 91

A titre de référence, le lien direct vers ce post est:
http://www.thedissidentfrogman.com/dacha/000185.html

L'année prochaine, nous célébrerons les 60 ans du Jour-J et le début de la libération de l'Europe par l'Ouest (à l'Est, l'Armée Rouge à mené une guerre de conquête, en multipliant les exactions. Pas une guerre de libération).

Je suis certain que l'administration du Musée ou la Mairie de Bayeux (qu'en fait je soupçonne de ne former qu'une seule entité) peuvent nous donner une bonne raison pour cette pesante absence.

Et nous expliquer les règles du jeu.

MISE A JOUR :
De Bulgarie, Jkrank entre dans l'arène à Sofia Sideshow, avec un modèle de lettre inspirateur, au cas où vous voudriez demander les règles du jeu à l'équipe du Musée.

Jkrank n'est pas un méchant homme.

Heureusement.

Sinon, il aurait reproduit l'adresse du musée et suggéré une idée qui s'ajouterait au score déjà prodigieux de l'aide internationale en provenance des États Unis.

Il est bien trop magnanime à mon avis.

N'oubliez pas le cabinet du Maire, au fait.
MISE A JOUR II :
Vous voudrez peut être voir cela de plus près...

le mât vide
l'espace vide
le socle vide
MISE A JOUR III :
A l'usage de nos experts en retouche à la petite semaine qui avalent sans broncher les affirmations du premier dictateur venu lorsqu'il jure ses grand dieux que ses intentions sont pacifiques même si il lui est déjà arrivé de "légèrement" exterminer sa population mais décèlent le complot dans d'humbles photos telles celles qui illustrent ce post, voici les versions haute résolution.
'tention, c'est lourd.

le mât vide
l'espace vide
le socle vide

Et à propos, je ne reviens plus là dessus. Ceux qui veulent croire que ces photos sont truquées sont probablement les mêmes que ceux qui s'accrochent à la lamentable théorie de Meyssan. Alors ouais, aucun avion ne s'est crashé sur le Pentagone, ces photos sont truquées et la CIA est responsable de toute la misère du monde.

Merci de ne pas quitter votre réalité alternative trop souvent.

Attendez vous à plus à propos de la Normandie dans les jours qui viennent - Joe va bien, cela dit, mais j'ai deux ou trois choses à vous dire et à vous montrer à propos de Tommy.

Mais d'abord, café. Et déballage.
Sous-vêtements sales, chaussettes manquantes pour générer une paire utilisable, joies du globe-trotter.

Je suis affreusement en retard avec les emails. Je l'étais avant de partir pour la Normandie et bien entendu, cela s'est encore gâté.
Mes excuses sincères à ceux qui m'ont écrit et attendent une réponse.

Cela exclut le pathétique cul de clown en provenance de l'entreprise receleuse du monopole d'État pour l'acheminement de la correspondance papier - vous devriez d'ailleurs bosser pour faire semblant de mériter le salaire que votre employeur vole en partie dans ma poche, au lieu de passer vos journées à surfer et à exprimer d'affligeantes opinions en un français douteux, inepte parasite.

Mais je répondrais aux amis, c'est promis.

I have a hard time believing that the museum would be stupid enough to intentionally remove American flags, but then maybe I'm underestimating the idiocy of French anti-Americanism. If that turns out to be true and it got out in the American mainstream media the French could pretty much kiss off any return of American tourists or purchases of French wine. The French always seem to be worried about the Arab street but they are finding out the hard way that pissing off the American street carries a lot more consequences.

I wish I could say that I am surprised. As I write this President Bush is speaking at a re-enlistment celebration on the 30th anniversity of the volunteer military. That's right our country, its citizens and its Constitution are defended by volunteers and most of those who liberated France were volunteers. Can we rightly ask volunteers to once again liberate France if needed? No, that would be a crime against honor of every soldier who fought and who died for the principles held by those brave souls that see a higher purpose for their lives. I saw this coming during the late 60's and it is spreading like a virus. Today the same attitude is metastisizing in Canada. This must be confronted with a disciplined adherence to the time-honored moral values. The sickness of post-modern anti-values cannot live in the light of reason and the world will need guidepost for the day they recognize they are lost. Americans, true Americans and their rational allies around the world will lead them back from the edge of moral armageddon they seem hell-bent on achieving. Intergalactic Capitalist

All I can say is I'm glad we didn't do it. It's bad enough when you disagree with the U.S. leaders. Your labeled anti-american, or bad allies or bad neighbours. If this was an omission due to some childish tantrum to get back at the Americans, it indeed was stupid and dishonourable. There seems to be a lot of this type of thing going around in the world today. Perhaps it was one person or small group of people trying to make a statement. And if it's one thing the U.S. has taught the rest of the world is to make a statement. Make yourself heard, Stand up for what you beleive in...it doesn't mater if your wrong, it's what you believe in that counts.

#66 Well... t would be VERY easy to doctor these photos poorly. I actually spent some time analysing the paterns in the leaves. As you know, most paint retouching involves sampling paterns from the same photo to preserve color, saturation and exposure. The usual giveaway is when you can recognize patterns duplicated in the same photo. This is what gave away a doctored AP photo taken in Iraq a couple months ago. The compositing of 2 photos is a possibility as well I admit. I suppose the 300dpi version would show evidence of this for sure though unless it were perfect. Either way, I still doubt they were manipulated.

Welcome to the world, great to have you here? If you've just realized you're living in a world that isn't so black and white that people believe. Someone did probably take down those flags for whatever silly and incognisant reason they may have. However, to merely bias the French on that is just plain silly. If you're going to bias the French you could remark on children smoking and raw meat served as a main course. Regardless of cultural maladies and misamayisms it's all a PR game. It's claimed that the United States is a country full of greedy businessmen and dirty morally bankrupt politicians, but isn't that the same of all countries? Your standard grade-A Socialist leader *coughdictatorcough* is just the same as a self-serving corporate domineered professional. You can throw all the Nationalistic Patriotic carbunkle out the window because a country's popular image is most often represented by its leaders and whatever stereotypes we can trick our minds into believing because it's so much harder thinking of other people as people and not whatever image we make to keep our heads un-muddled. It's hard enough waking up in the morning without considering everyone in the world at the same level as you.

These photos are all fakes. If you look at them close enough you can clearly see that they were made with Adobe PhotoShop. Notice the background shadows and how they forgot to remove them. How ridiculous! Why get Americans pissed off at the French, for amusement?

I dunno. maybe if the USAnians hadn't gone to such ridiculous lengths as re-naming their food items to exclude the word 'French' wherever possible, their flag would still be flying at Bayeux. What goes around, comes around.

This is a move of the most dishonorable degree, to be sure. To omit the American flag in the collective of liberator flags is inexcusable, and whomever was responsible for this action should be ashamed of themselves. However, it's also tiresome to hear my fellow Americans damn the entire country of France and every French citizen in the world because some person or persons took a cheap dig at pushing our patriotic buttons (and succeeding). While I'm pretty sure the French fellows who did this are doing it out of the same patriotic blindness which tells them that because some Capitol Hill monkeys renamed French Fries, all Americans feel this way and should be hated for it, that doesn't mean we have to act in the same manner. Yes, the whole surrender frog thing is funny in a juvenile way, the same as the old recycled jokes for every nationality, but until I see more than a few single Arabic street demonstrations of flag burning, or until the French start taking down American flags from multiple places of political/historical interest, I'm not so quick to write off an entire country/nation and its people as Anti-American bastards, and neither should the people of a democratic, free-thinking, and innocent-til-proven-guilty nation. Don't wield a flamethrower when a sniper rifle will do the job, folks.
