[translation from a Polish website]

 

Supreme Polish leaders, including the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr Lech Kaczynski and his legendary predecessor, the President of Poland In Exile, Mr. Ryszard Kaczorowski, as well as almost entire Staff of the Polish Armed Forces die in the crash near Smolensk, Russia.

According to official information (confirmed),  supreme commanders of the Polish Armed Forces died in the crash, adding to thousands of the military commanders that had been killed there in 1940.

Upon the Constitution of Poland, in case of President's sudden death, the Speaker of the Parliament, automatically becomes the President of Poland. Therefore, Mr. Bronislav Komorowski has officially taken duties of the President of the Republic.

There have been many high profile murders and attempted murders on behalf of Putin...
It is not tinfoil to speculate anything given the fragile state of the world today.

The Russia government has been in the murder/assassination business for many decades.

“Poland has become a staunch ally of the US.”

Not according to the Dear Leader. He and the rest of his junta are most likely cheering.

This is too sad..I had to read this three times before it sank in. Poland is our great friend. They didn’t deserve a loss like this. God watch over Poland and her people.

A terrible tragedy, and Americans should remember that the Poles have fought and bled beside us in both Iraq and Afghanistan.


And WW II

and then FDR betrayed them as well as Alger Hiss and that Rat Harry White

[A little in-depth about this crash coming next]

“If Russia moves in , this to me is strong evidence that Obama is a Communist mole and plant.”

I already believe Obama is a deeply indoctrinated operative, mentored in his tender years on by Frank Marshall Davis.

And I suspect Putin sabotaged the economy as an October surprise:

[Of course, we wouldn’t have been vulnerable if it wasn’t for the Fannie/FReddie bubble to begin with. But Spain had their train bombings, and we might have had our own foreign maipulation.]

Actually, I don’t care if they all had gone by hot air balloons, as long as EACH had his own. That was no way to save money. They have completely decapitated their military heads and president in one blow.

"What if the Russian Tower gave them false altimeter setting info?"

Wasn't that a plot in one of the "Die Hard" movies?
