Peter Strasser (1 April 1876 – 6 August 1918) was chief commander of German Imperial Navy Zeppelins during World War I, the main force operating bombing campaigns from 1915 to 1917. He was killed when flying the war's last airship raid over Great Britain.

Early career

Strasser was born in Hanover, Germany, on 1 April 1876. At the age of 15, he joined the German Imperial Navy (''Kaiserliche Marine''). After serving on board SMS ''Stein'' and SMS ''Moltke'', he entered the Naval academy in Kiel. He quickly rose through the ranks and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1895. He served on board SMS ''Mars'', SMS ''Blücher'', SMS ''Panther'', SMS ''Mecklenburg'' and SMS ''Westfalen'' from 1897 to 1902. He was an excellent gunnery officer and was placed in the German Imperial Naval Office (''Reichsmarine-Amt'') in charge of German shipboard and coastal artillery. In September 1913, he taken command of the Naval Airship Division (''Marine-Luftschiff-Abteilung''). Airships were as yet an unproven technology and ''Korvettenkapitän'' Strasser became the new naval airship chief after his predecessor, ''Korvettenkapitän'' Friedrich Metzing, drowned in the crash of the very first naval airship, the L 1. Also the single remaining naval airship L 2 was soon lost in another fatal accident. Strasser completed theoretical studies on airships and gained practical experience piloting the civilian airship LZ17 ''Sachsen''. Another airship, LZ13 ''Hansa'' was chartered to train naval crews while new ships were being built. At the start of the war Navy had only one airship operational, the LZ24 (Navy designation L3). L3, under Strasser's personal command, was the only one to participate in the Imperial Navy manoeuvres just before the war.

First World War

Following the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Navy airships were confined to anti-submarine, anti-mine and scouting missions. They served in the Battle of Heligoland Bight.

On January 19–20, 1915, L3 and L4 participated in the first bombing raids over England, attacking Great Yarmouth, Sheringham and King's Lynn. Over the next 3 years, bombing campaigns would be launched primarily against Britain, but also on Paris and other cities and ports. Strasser would participate in the England raids at least once a month. He decided to test the newly developed spy basket himself, and almost fell out when it became entangled with the Zeppelin's aerial. Initially bombing was limited to military targets but with great lobbying support of ''Konteradmiral'' Paul Behncke, the Kaiser approved attacks against civilian targets. Official British estimates list 498 civilians and 58 soldiers killed by air attack in Britain between 1915 and 1918. 1,913 injuries are recorded. The Imperial Navy dropped 360,000 kg of bombs, the majority on the British Isles. 307,315 kg were directed at enemy vessels, ports and towns; 58,000 kg were dropped over Italy, the Baltic and the Mediterranean. The German army carried 160,000 kg of bombs to their designated targets: 44,000 kg hit Belgium and France, 36,000 kg England, and 80,000 kg Russia and south eastern Europe. However, questions remain over whether airships (and more importantly, their irreplaceable crews) would have been better used as a purely naval weapon.

As ''Vizeadmiral'' Reinhard Scheer became his superior in January 1916, he tried to tame Strasser's aggressive pursue for independence, but to no success. On November 28, 1916, Strasser was appointed by imperial decree as "Leader of Airships" (''Führer der Luftschiffe''; ''F.d.L.'').

Death in the last raid over Great Britain

Strasser did not live to see the end of the war. On 5 August 1918, during a night raid against Boston, Norwich, and the Humber estuary , Strasser's L70 met a British reconnaissance D.H.4. Pilot Major Egbert Cadbury and Gunner Major Robert Leckie shot down the L70 just north of Wells-next-the-Sea on the Norfolk coast. No one of 23 men aboard survived. It proved to be the last airship raid over Great Britain.

Legacy

Strasser's impact on both the war and history was important for the future air warfare. He was instrumental in the development of long range bombing and the development of the rigid airship as an efficient, high altitude, all-weather aircraft. He was a major proponent of the doctrine of bombing attacks on civilian as well as military targets to serve both as propaganda and as a means of diverting resources from the front line.

One possible but unconfirmed name for Flugzeugträger B, the unfinished sister ship of the World War II German aircraft carrier ''Graf Zeppelin'', was ''Peter Strasser.''

David J. Frum (; born June 30, 1960) is a Canadian American journalist active in both the United States and Canadian political arenas. A former economic speechwriter for President George W. Bush, he is also the author of the first "insider" book about the Bush presidency. His editorial columns have appeared in a variety of Canadian and American magazines and newspapers, including the ''National Post'' and ''The Week''. He is also the founder of FrumForum.com (formerly NewMajority.com), a political group blog.

Background

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Frum is the son of the late Barbara Frum, a well-known journalist and broadcaster, and Murray Frum, a dentist, who later became a real estate developer, philanthropist, and art collector. David Frum's sister, Linda Frum, is a member of the Canadian Senate. David Frum is married to writer Danielle Crittenden, the stepdaughter of former ''Toronto Sun'' editor Peter Worthington. Frum has three children. He is a distant cousin of economist Paul Krugman.

At age 14 he was a campaign volunteer for a New Democratic Party candidate. During the hour-long bus/subway/bus ride each way to and from the campaign office in western Toronto, he read a paperback edition of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's ''Gulag Archipelago'' his mother had given him. "My campaign colleagues jeered at the book — and by the end of the campaign, any lingering interest I might have had in the political left had vanished like yesterday’s smoke."

He graduated from the University of Toronto Schools in 1978 where he was the School Captain. At Yale University where he simultaneously earned Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in History, graduating in 1982. He was in Directed Studies, a type of "Great Books" curriculum. According to ''The American Conservative'':

Frum earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) at Harvard Law School in 1987. Frum has described one of his study methods:

After graduating from Harvard, Frum returned to Toronto to serve as an associate editor of ''Saturday Night''. He was an editorial page editor of the ''Wall Street Journal'' from 1989 until 1992, and then a columnist for ''Forbes magazine'' in 1992-94. During his tenure at the ''Journal'', Frum "accepted the freelance assignment that would make his name: a 1991 cover story for ''The American Spectator'' attacking Pat Buchanan." From 1994 through 2000 he was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. During the 1990s he attended "three or four" Bilderberg Group meetings as a guest of Conrad Black.

Following the election of George W. Bush in 2000, Frum was appointed to a position within the White House. Frum would later write that when he was first offered the job by chief Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson,

Still a Canadian citizen, he was one of the few foreign nationals working within the Bush White House. (According to Frum, he was once briefly arrested by a White House security guard who did not believe that a Canadian national could have a job working at the White House.) He served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Speechwriting from January 2001 to February 2002. He filed for naturalization and took the oath of citizenship on September 11, 2007. While serving in the Bush White House, Frum was "one of the most vociferous voices . . . calling for war in Iraq," and "wrote in 2003 about the Iraqis 'welcoming their liberators.'"

Frum strongly supported John Roberts, George W. Bush's nominee for Chief Justice of the United States. However, like many conservatives, he opposed the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court of the United States, on the grounds that she was insufficiently qualified for the post, as well as insufficiently conservative.

On October 11, 2007, Frum announced on his blog that he was joining Rudolph Giuliani's presidential campaign as a senior foreign policy adviser. David Frum is on the board of directors of the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Frum was a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, from 2003 until March 25, 2010, when his paid position was terminated and he declined to accept the offer of a non-paying position. Media reports noted that the termination came three days after Frum's strongly worded criticism of the Republican strategy on health care reform, but Frum said that the AEI had not cited his criticism as the reason for his termination. It was suggested that he was fired for criticizing Fox news, saying "Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox.”

NewMajority.com and FrumForum.com

On November 16, 2008, The New York Times reported that David Frum would be leaving National Review where he was a contributing editor and run an online blog. Frum announced to readers of his blog that he would be starting a new political website, NewMajority.com. He described it as "a group blog, featuring many different voices. Not all of them… conservatives or Republicans." He added that he hoped the site would "create an online community that will be exciting and appealing to younger readers, a generation often repelled by today's mainstream conservatism." The website was launched on January 19, 2009. David Frum's website changed to FrumForum.com on October 31, 2009.

Writings

His first book, ''Dead Right'', was released in 1994. It "expressed intense dissatisfaction with supply-siders, evangelicals, and nearly all Republican politicians." Frank Rich of the ''New York Times'' described it as "the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement," William F. Buckley, Jr. found it "the most refreshing ideological experience in a generation," and Daniel McCarthy of ''The American Conservative'' called it "a crisply written indictment of everything its author disliked about conservatism in the early ’90s." He is also the author of ''What's Right'' (1996) and ''How We Got Here'' (2000), a history of the 1970s, which "framed the 1970s in the shadow of World War II and Vietnam, suggesting, 'The turmoil of the 1970s should be understood ... as the rebellion of an unmilitary people against institutions and laws formed by a century of war and the preparation for war.'" Michael Barone of ''U.S. News & World Report'' praised ''How We Got Here'', noting that "more than any other book… it shows how we came to be the way we are." John Podhoretz described it as "compulsively readable" and a "commanding amalgam of history, sociology and polemic."

In January 2003, he released ''The Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush'', the first insider account of the Bush presidency. As the title suggests, Frum also discusses how the events of September 11, 2001 redefined the country and the President. Frum writes, "George W. Bush was hardly the obvious man for the job. But by a very strange fate, he turned out to be, of all unlikely things, the right man."

Frum's book ''An End to Evil'' was co-written with Richard Perle. It provided a defense of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and advocated regime change in Iran and Syria. Furthermore, it called for a tougher policy with North Korea, as well as advocating a tougher U.S. stance against Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations in order to "win the war on terror" (from the book's subtitle).

In 2008, he published ''Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again'', a work which garnered "lavish praise from his friends." Former Congressman David M. McIntosh called "required reading for all GOP candidates."

Frum writes a weekly column for Canada's ''National Post'' newspaper and ''The Week'' news magazine. He is also a commentator for American Public Media's "Marketplace". His writings appear frequently in the ''New York Times'', Italy's ''Il Foglio,'' and the'' Daily Telegraph''.

Speech Quotations

Political views

In a ''Newsweek'' column, Frum described his political beliefs as follows:

I'm a conservative Republican, have been all my adult life. I volunteered for the Reagan campaign in 1980. I've attended every Republican convention since 1988. I was president of the Federalist Society chapter at my law school, worked on the editorial page of ''The Wall Street Journal'' and wrote speeches for President Bush—not the "Read My Lips" Bush, the "Axis of Evil" Bush. I served on the Giuliani campaign in 2008 and voted for John McCain in November. I supported the Iraq War and (although I feel kind of silly about it in retrospect) the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I could go on, but you get the idea.

Frum supported John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election, writing "I vote for John McCain". In an article for National Review Online he posted days before the 2008 election, he gave ten reasons why he was going to vote for McCain instead of Barack Obama. Frum had previously been a vocal critic of Republican presidential candidate McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate on the ground that Palin was unqualified to assume the presidency. Speaking of Palin's performance during the campaign, Frum stated, "I think she has pretty thoroughly — and probably irretrievably — proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States." Nevertheless he ultimately stated his support for Palin, writing "But on Tuesday, I will trust that she can learn. She has governed a state - and ... it says something important that so many millions of people respond to her as somebody who incarnates their beliefs and values. At a time when the great American middle often seems to be falling further and further behind, there may be a special need for a national leader who represents and symbolizes that middle."

On August 14, 2009 on ''Bill Moyers Journal'', Frum challenged certain Republican political tactics in opposing healthcare and other Democratic initiatives as "outrageous," "dangerous", and ineffective. As Congress prepared to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March 2010, Frum again criticized the Republican strategy of refusing to negotiate with President Obama and congressional Democrats on health care reform, saying that it had resulted in the Republicans' "most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s". Prior to making this statement, Frum had been associated with the American Enterprise Institute. He resigned from the AEI a couple days later.

In 2010, Frum was involved in the formation of the centrist group No Labels, as a "founding leader."

In June 2011, following the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York state, Frum's weekly column for CNN.com was titled "I was wrong about same-sex marriage." In it he described the evolution of his opinion from a "strong opponent" fourteen years prior; while he had feared that its introduction would cause "the American family [to] become radically more unstable," he now feels that "the case against same-sex marriage has been tested against reality. The case has not passed its test."

Non-political views

Frum considers himself “a not especially observant Jew." He has written in his blog that he enjoys reading history, particularly histories of the American Civil War. He has also visited Civil War battlefields. Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln are among his favorite historical figures. Marcel Proust is his favorite novelist.

Ernst Strasser is a former Austrian People's Party politician and Federal Minister of the Interior in Austria (2000 - 2004), and was a Member of the European Parliament (2009-2011). He resigned because of the 2011 Cash for Laws Scandal.

Career

Strasser was Federal Minister of the Interior of Austria between 2000 and 2004.

Strasser has been the president of the ''Austro-Russian Friendship Society'' (Österreichisch-Russische Freundschaftsgesellschaft) since 2003.

Between 2005 and 2008 Strasser was Managing Partner at VCP Energy Holdings, a subsidiary of Vienna Capital Partners. He took care of "energy projects in the new EU member countries in Eastern Europe" and reportedly enjoyed a salary of 500,000 euros per year.

Like Strasser, his cabinet secretary Christoph Ulmer is also a senior member of the Austro-Russian Friendship Society and went to become Executive Director of CE-Oil Gastrading AG, an energy company owned by Vienna Capital Partners.

He led his party in the 2009 European Parliament election. He was a Member of the European Parliament between 2009 and 2011.

Business holdings

''Der Standard'' newspaper's investigations in Ernst Strasser found that Strasser has many business holdings and listed some of these activities. Strasser founded ''Consulting, Coaching & Educating-GesmbH'' (CCE) in 2005. It is an one-man company 100% owned by Strasser. For the first two years, the CCE recorded a profit of around 380,000 euros. When the newspaper studied the holdings in May 2009, more recent data was missing from the commercial register. The company owns stakes in various other companies.

One company, ''Business Consulting & Development GmbH'', is said to have imported olive oil from Syria. Another company had links to Hungarian bribery investigations.

Strasser's CCE owns stakes in ''Russland-Connection Anteile'' as well as ''Firmen Advisory Partners'' (registered in Innsbruck), ''Konti Holding'' (registered in Wien) and ''Expert Management Beratung Russia'' (registered in Vienna).

2011 cash for influence scandal

On 20 March 2011, Britain's Sunday Times reported that three MEPs, including Austria's Ernst Strasser, had accepted offers of up to 100,000 euros ($141,000) per year in exchange for proposing amendments in the EU parliament.

Austrian vice-chancellor and OeVP leader Josef Proell had called for the deputy's "immediate resignation from all political posts," describing his behaviour as "unacceptable". After initially fighting the claims, the 54-year-old Strasser announced his resignation on Sunday, noting: "I have decided to take this step because there has been a campaign against me in Austria" and this was "damaging the People's Party."

Peter Pilz (born January 22, 1954) is an Austrian politician and a leading member of the Austrian Green Party.

Born in Kapfenberg, Styria, Pilz has been a member of the Austrian Parliament (''Nationalrat'') between 1986 and 1991 and since 1999. From 1992 to 1994 he also was federal spokesperson of the Greens.

He is mainly concerned with legal matters and investigating political corruption. Commonly known wearing a black jacket and a red, grey or green t-shirt, he was the first Austrian politician to keep a blog on the Internet.

In January 2005, Pilz made international news when he called for Arnold Schwarzenegger to be stripped of his Austrian citizenship. As Governor of California, Schwarzenegger had refused to intercede in the execution of a convicted murderer, Donald Beardslee. Pilz pointed to an Austrian law which prohibits any Austrian from taking part in, or ordering, an execution.

A few months later, Pilz claimed that a person whom he called "Zeuge D" (German: ''"witness D"'') has information that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had participated in the murder of 3 Kurds in Vienna in 1989. According to him the Austrian police had already contacted the witness, who supposedly lived in France, but this was denied by the Austrian Ministry of Justice.
