New, sensational documents concerning the attempt against the late pope, John Paul II, have been revealed in a new book by John O. Kohler, an American journalist and writer. The book, entitled "It's About the Pope. Spies in the Vatican", will be released in Poland on Monday, April 28, 2008 by ZNAK Publishing House, known for its publications about the late pope.
The author reached a Kremlin document, which listed Soviet Politbureau members, who had signed an "informal death sentence" on the Polish pope. "Use all available possibilities to prevent a new political trend, initiated by the Polish pope, and "if necessary - reach to means beyond disinformation and discreditation." This instruction was given to their subordinates in the KGB by members of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party in November of 1979.
"I was shocked, when I had found this order. The means "beyond disinformation and discreditation" meant only one thing: an approval to kill the pope", John O. Kohler told a leading Polish weekly "Wprost" (read: vprost) this week, prior to the official launching of his book in Poland.
Who signed the "informal" death sentence against John Paul II? The party document obtained by the author of the book listed nine prominent Soviet CP members: the chief of the Soviet propaganda - Mikhail Suslov, members of the Presidium of the CC CPSU - Andrei Kirilenko, Konstantin Chernenko, secretaries of the CC - Konstantin Rusakov (responsible for the contacts with the Polish Communist Party), Vladimir Ponomarev, Ivan Kapitonov, Mikhail Zimyanin, Vladimir Dolgikh and Mikhail Gorbachev.

does an “informal” death sentence mean that they really didn’t mean it?
(sounds suspiciously like the rhetoric of american, internationalist, liberals.)
imho
The document is crafted so that the Politburo can deny responsibility if the Pope had an “accident”.
Oh, the Left will be so upset (not!). Gorbachev is their hero.
I think they were using language understood by the KGB but that could not be pinned on them as an order to kill the Pope.
What else did the KGB engage in “beyond disinformation and discreditation”...? What's left for the KGB to do?
Ping
People have been plotting against the Pope since the beginning of time.......as with other leaders of the world. Do people think that the Swiss Guard is there for looks?
Discredit your enemies by lying about them? Are you sure this wasnt taken from the party rules for the Democratic National Committee? Oh wait...Politburo.....same thing.
Must have been part of Gorby’s “Kill the Pope, Save the Earth” agenda - Green Cross International: http://194.38.163.189/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10&Itemid=1
absolutely amazing that the convoluted rhetoric they engage in so closely resembles that of liberals in congress.
Leftists heroes, marx et all, are always above reproach.
The world will pay for this idiocy.
