Video--New Report Implicates Russian Gov't In Polish Plane Crash
Conservative Examiner ^ | 4/24/2010 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 04/24/2010 2:22:48 PM PDT by Welshman007

New information has come to light concerning the Polish plane crash that killed the main figures of Poland's government, including its President.

According to investigative reporter Jane Burgermeister, the black box indicates no mechanical issues with the plane and no interference on the part of Poland's President to force a landing of the plane against the wishes of the pilot.

In addition, there is no indication at all from the recovered record that the plane attempted several landings, as reported by Russian officials. The plane attempted to land only once.

Discrepancies also exist with regard to claims by Russian officials regarding crash logistics, the ability of the pilot to speak Russian, and other official statements that do not square with the facts.

The story about the stabbing of the journalist who took the video is unconfirmed. It is sourced only from a blog - I have been all over the internet trying to follow it up but coming up with nothing - not even the full name of the person concerned.

So this remains to be investigated. It is true, beyond question, that quite a number of writers who gave Putin trouble were murdered or died in “accidents.”

I have been very suspicious, right from the start, that the black box recordings have not simply been released. Given the importance of this case, they should have been. The changing stories about how many times the plane attempted to land are also suspect.

Also true.

I don't understand why the Poles, of all people, would send most of their government one one plane in Russia.Surely they are more skeptical of Russians than that.

Why would Putin do this? Putting the empnhasis on the position of the Poles vis-a-vis Russia and the total nonexistence of support from the USA.Putin is reassembling the Empire.

Putin did this because to every Russian The Katyn Forest Massacre is something every Russian wants to forget and something every Pole cannot and will not. I can’t understand why the Polish Government could have trusted the Russians like this. I mean for something so sensitive and painful to Polish history and national memory, to go to the belly of the beast to commemorate the event....

Just like the Katyn Massacre, for many decades Kremlin communist tyrants (right up to Putin) continued falsely claiming they knew nothing about the slaughter of over 20.000 Polish officers, coupled with many captured Polish anti-communists, the invading Russians captured in eastern Poland, when Hitler Nazis, and his ally Stalin, invaded Poland in 1939.

Russia is a different world and mindset than us. Americans had better wake up and realize it.

Yet many folks, even here, clueless on the history of Russia and the KGB, put people who even suggest the Russians may be involved in such acts in the same camp with the 9-11 "Bush did it" crowd. Crazy conspiracy theories like that one are often put out intentionally by the left in any an attempt to undermine legit theories implicating their own. Many people just lump them all together as loony conspiracy theories.

Yes, that could do it unless the pilot had even a simple VFR GPS he could cross check for altitude. One would think that a large, transport class, turbine aircraft would have some of this simple gear but the 737 in which Ron Brown died didn’t have even a handheld GPS.

More worms for the large can being opened.

Exactly! These people who have FACTUALLY killed with the tip of an umbrella want to make someone who believe in sabotage by the Russians as if we are putting forth a UFO theory. I mean history supports the claims, you know?

P.S. There were two men who escaped Aushwitz who were not believed when they explained the things that went on there. It was just too incredible to comprehend for normal people. Then, the armies filmed what was found in concentration camps because they knew that no one would believe them otherwise.

Sometimes people are capable of more than our ideological views of humanity would allow.

Someone said why would the Russians shoot the polish government with bullets, wouldn’t the Polish coronors detect bullet wounds. My point is that Tusk was against the missile defense shields and is a pro-Russian official. The larger point is that it is not impossible that coronors ignore certain...things, especially if this was assassination.

The day this video came out, it was taken down as fast as we could post the links. Finally it was downloaded onto an American server and posted that way.

More info (including name) of the person shooting the video at the Polish plane crash. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2500058/posts Americans Interested In Details Of KGB Killing Of Polish Survivors Execution Witness The American Website Reddit, with reference to the murder of the Ukrainian journalist Andrey Menderey by KGB agents in Kiev on April 16, 2010, asks users to provide details on the execution of survived Poles by Russian terrorists from the FSB. Before he was killed, Menderey probably talked to some friends or relatives about the Russian crime. The Reddit writes: "Andrey Menderey the first recorded the plane crash in Russia, in which voices are heard in Polish, if it is authentic, it is crucial evidence. It is hard to believe that it was so realistically assembled, except that then it would be likely in many of its online version, and there is one. There are clear voices in Polish and immediately after the shots. Another thing - the cockpit was saved, and strangely enough it was the bodies of pilots can not be found. The fire started after a disaster, so if the pilots were conscious they could jump out to prevent the spread of fire. They could die in the crash, but that their bodies had the best chance to escape in their entirety. Does the idea is to hide the real cause of their death? Assuming the authenticity of the video the author risked mortal danger as a witness. I put the information that comes from the Internet, and the truth alone can not fix, but I think that more editors being able to verify whether a man of that name was in the vicinity of Smolensk, and talked to families that what he saw, and other facts. If this is a false trail might be able to inquire whether the local residents have heard something about this film and its author. Here is the info: "The person who threw this movie the first was quickly removed and his account was deleted too! The author of this movie was Andrey Menderey, who stabbed in the vicinity of Kiev, April 15, 2010. He has been brought in an awful state to a hospital in Kiev, where he disconnected the apparatus!" I know that the Polish prosecutor's office will examine this movie. But in the past, many investigations had remitted, were at stake when possible objections to the well known politician and businessman. Still less could be the case when the game would fall international affairs. Therefore I have reason to believe that the prosecution will undermine the credibility of the material - even if it is true. Such matters should investigate and disclose to the media. Is the television and radio stations do not have specialized equipment to check the reliability of the material and the prominence of voices heard there? The fact that everything conspires against the presidential airplane (suddenly very bad weather, incorrect indications of the altimeters, not acting TAWS, poor co-operation with the tower) is already making serious doubts. For the entry on my blog I've added a lot of interesting new information and hypotheses about the likely (intentional or inadvertent) blame the Russians. And if you bear at least part of the blame (even unintentional) is that disclosure would be a huge blow to the image of Russia - which is why it can not be ruled out attempts to hide these facts. We publish a letter received from a specialist that developed the three-dimensional navigation systems, which sheds new light on the possible causes of an aviation disaster in Smolensk. Here are the contents of this letter: "I am a lecturer at the University of Hamburg and the employee responsible for the so-called advanced research and development of Concern Harman Becker Automotive Systems. I developed and co-created three-dimensional navigation systems, and therefore difficult for me to imagine how TAWS system that was installed in the airplane of the President may fail without extraneous "help". The author of this letter is Filip Stankevich (Philip Stankiewicz), and the material has been sent on the Polish site «Free mass-media». Автором этого письма является Филип Станкевич (Philip Stankiewicz), и материал был послан на польский сайт «Свободные СМИ». The note of the editor "Free Media" (on Polish, WM - KC): "Free Media" asking the Smolensk Forum members for verification of information about the author of film and its fate. If you get a response, we will notify you about it".

I also want to apologize for the horrific lack of paragraphs in my previous posts.

Here is a good article on polskaweb.eu

It is translated at the kavkazcenter website. Of course without speaking Russian or Polish (they are similar I believe) I can only take the translation as truthful until someone can translate otherwise. You know, I think this may even be in German. I need to take a foreign language class.Jeez

http://polskaweb.eu/ungereimtes-um-polnische-flugzeug-katastrophe-63537356.html

Here is English version

http://kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2010/04/24/11913.shtml

The Polish news agency in German Polska Web News in its article entitled “Tupolev crashed earlier” published a report revealing new facts of terrible bloody crime of Russians against Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his team on 10 April 2010. We presented this reported translated from German:

“What really happened on 10 April in Smolensk?” or “Why Lech Kaczynski and many other leading public figures of Poland have to die?” more and more Poles ask in connection with an upsurge of inconsistencies and remaining unclarified circumstances of the Polish Tupolev crash in the Russian military airfield just 23 km from the Katyn.

In fact, now it looks like that not only the Russians, but also the Polish authorities are concealing something, laying false trails, hiding important analytical data or specially doing investigations in a slipshod manner.

However there are a number of initial points. Just in the last 48 hours appeared new facts, each of which worth a headline on the front page of newspapers.

A reaction is curious to the message in a few media, including Polskaweb, which, due to understandable reasons, do not want to be limited only by reports of mainstream press and politicians about this case.

On Thursday, after analyzing the video and hundreds of photos, we reported that in a plane crash with nearly a hundred deaths usually appearing suitcases, shoes, blouses, coats, and dead bodies first of all were completely absent.

Photos of “unknown origin”, where the above-mentioned presented, suddenly appeared on a big Russian Internet search portal Yandex on the night of Friday. In this case, however, parts of human bodies were masked in black, so it was impossible to determine whether the pictures have been taken during any other plane crash.

(The reaction to the revelations of Kavkaz Center from the Russian murderers of Kaczynski for the present was characterized as:

1. unprecedented in the last super-bitter curses at us,

2. spread of rumors in Poland that the presidential plane was shot down by the Caucasian Mujahideen - KC).

These were not official images. However, they could have been deliberately posted on Yandex, to test the public’s trust. Click for more photos.

Polskaweb has also reported that on the day of crash the agents of the Polish secret service ABW got into the homes of crash victims, in order to allegedly collect DNA material on the comb or hair brushes that would supposedly help for identification.

At that time the secret police has not yet known who is need to be identified at all, and who is not, as the Russians took all the bodies and their ruminants, including the corpse of Lech Kaczynski.

On Friday, the Warsaw newspaper Rzeczpospolita reported that 3 hours after the Tupolev’s crash the secret police, breaking locks, burst into the flats of important state secrets carriers, searched the drawers of desks and laptops of former Defense Minister Aleksander Szczyglo and possibly dragged away the documents of former secret police chief, Zbigniew Wassermann, and the Director IPN Janusz Kurtyka.

Russian investigators are continuing not to give to their Polish counterparts the evidential material, such as results of reviews of voice tape recording. They supposedly to give them in early next week.

The unnecessary and unjustifiable delay may be due to the fact that Moscow, is too, realized that the third black box, which had already been handed over to Polish investigators and which allegedly contained only data such as altitude and airspeed, had also recorded conversations in the cockpit and in cabin for passengers.

Polish specialists had installed that black box after when the presidential plane was returned from Russia after the overhaul at end of December. Now, as reported, the Ministers of Justice and Internal Affairs personally and jointly made a demarche to Moscow concerning delivery of demonstrative materials.

To the specified exact time of the disaster has no longer corresponds to a different message, received on Friday, which stated that the pilot of the Polish military plane with the journalists on board reportedly warned his colleagues on the presidential plane about the bad weather, especially about the fog on the landing site. Why he told about that only now, is unknown.

Certainly, the Polish investigators have not ruled out the fog at the airport was created artificially, that the positions of the landing lights were deliberately biased or that the generation of strong electromagnetic fields from a third party could affect the work of the technical equipment of Tu-154M.

Regarding the footage of gunshots at the crash site, as well as photos of soldiers with the possible manipulation of evidence (the landing lights), the Russian prosecutor’s office has not yet spoken about this issue. It did not comment, despite Poland’s reminder to do so.

There are other facts present. We would tell about them later”, Polska Web News reports.

What an ignorant reporter! Is it really so hard to read “President Kaczynki”? I constantly hear “Kazynski, kesynski, and a cacophony similar to that.

Note “Polish “cz” is ALWAYS read like an English “ch”, e.g. in the word “charlie”, so the President of Poland's name is “kachynski”, or especially to the reporter's ability of the second language acquisition - “catch-in-skee” (LOL)

If somebody comes to any other country, learn at least how to pronounce the most important words, not to mention the basic facts about the country.
When I hear that ridiculous reporter, it reminds me of an elephant trying to characterize an eagle.
