I have deleted the "With Jacques Foccart, another important French "shady" figure, he helped create the Department of Protection-Security (DPS), the far-right Front National militia, after the dissolution in the early 1980s of the Gaullist Service d'Action Civique (SAC)." part since it is not in the much discussed French version. Moreover, such kind of information should be given with due reference of the source.

Same for "In any case, Grossouvre would have asked Constantin Melnik, leader of the French secret services during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62), to return to active status. Melnik was living in comfortable exile in the US, where he maintained links with the Rand Corporation. Constantin Melnik is alleged to have been involved in the 1952 creation of the Ordre Souverain du Temple Solaire, an ancestor of the Order of the Solar Temple (OST), in which the SDECE (French former military intelligence agency) had an interest."

Obviously, it is not irrelevant to mention these things but I think that it needs due justification considering the obvious implications of such allegations. This is the reason why I leave here a copy of the deleted information, in case anybody has proper source to cite. --Anvers2 10:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I understand that Tazmaniacs has a few ideas about the subject and they deserve to be discussed BUT one should give sources or references to support allegations. I know no article/book/anything that connects F. de Grossouvre with the order of the solar temple.

Regarding the DPS, it is sure that there were links between F de Grossouvre and Foccart but of what kind? And again, do you have any source to support the involvement of F. de Grossouvre in the DPS creation?
