The Polish president, army chief of staff, head of security, head of the central bank, and other high officials were killed in a plane crash in western Russia. A total of 97 died. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that he will personally head the investigation of the crash. There, don’t you feel reassured? The pilot is already being blamed. One must admire the efficiency of an investigation that reaches conclusions before it begins.

The Katyn Forest Massacre seems to be only part of a larger story of what happened to many thousands of Polish officers, landowners, clergy and other “anti-Soviet” elements that went missing after the Red army moved into Poland in 1939.
Stories persist that a much larger groups of Poles were murdered during the winter of 1940 when they were imprisoned on several barges in the White Sea which were sunk by the NKVD.

I never heard that. Dear God, the butchery of the communists is so overwhelming! Like the Germans forced to witness Aushwitz by the Americans, I wish I could force every damn liberal in the country to smell the stench of the hundred million bodies their collectivist cult has murdered.
