I might be a bit skeptical

Like everybody else TOR was shocked to hear about the plane-crash over the weekend which took the life of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski. The issue wasn’t just that the president perished but that the plane carried a large delegation of senior officials and cabinet members so the plane crash single-handily took down almost the entire Polish government. This is the reason that during the State-of-the-Union there is always some mid-ranking schmo who hides in some bunker in case the capital went down in flames taking out the entire leadership. Of course this contingency plan probably means that Dennis Kucinich becomes the leader of the free-world which will not make anybody sleep well at night.


The thing about this crash was that the delegation was en-route to Russia for the 70th anniversary of the Russian massacre of Polish prisoners of war in the village of Katyn where 20,000 Poles were executed there during World War II. Up until recently the Russians/Soviets had denied any responsibility until the 90’s although there were mass-graves discovered in the 40’s but now nearly ¾ of a century of denial later it was supposed to come full circle as this trip was suppose to be a consolatory moment for Russians and Poles.

Russian President Dmitri Medvedez immediately went to the Polish Embassy to offer his condolences and put Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in charge of the investigation which is like having Pope Benedict investigate the pedophilia scandal

So for 70 years the Russians deny any involvement for 20,000 people being massacred then they decide to reverse course and invite a delegation of Poles including anybody who is anybody in the government to and all of a sudden said Russian Built Plane crashes in some Buddy Holly fog.

I bet that if we got the Google-Earth images and zoomed in we would see Vladimir Putin with a grenade launcher on his shoulder overlooking the runway. TOR now increases the Katyn Massacre total human-toll from 20,000 to 20,096.
