Polish President, Government Wiped Out
The Question Mark Can Be Removed From That Front Page Now
By Darryl Mason
Another horrific plane crash kills everybody onboard.
But this is unlike any other plane crash in recent history.
This plane crash at an airport in Russia ended the life of the president of Poland, the country's most senior Army officer, the president's wife, the most senior members of Poland's government, the head of Poland's central bank....put it this way, Russia would not be totally displeased by what would be referred to in conspiratorial thriller fiction as a "decapitation strike".
President Lech Kaczynski and scores of other senior Polish figures have been killed in a plane crash in Russia.The Warsaw Voice on April 7 ripped the Polish government over a gambling industry related lobbying scandal :
Poland's army chief, central bank governor, MPs and leading historians were among more than 80 passengers.
I wouldn't be surprised if the polls in coming weeks once again show that 70 percent of Polish citizens have a negative opinion on the work of parliament and the government....The Warsaw Voice's prescient front page, from April 7, still online five hours after the confirmed death of President Kaczynski :
The opposition leader, and now acting president of Poland, Bronislaw Komorowski (above), could be called "a friend of Russia."
The now very dead Polish President Kaczynski on March 7, 2010 :
While it may well turn out to be the true cause of the plane crash that wiped out the government of Poland today, CNN spent an inordinate amount of time detailing the bad weather near the airport where the president's plane crashed. Then again, they didn't have much more information to fill out their bulletins in the first few hours after the plane went down.
But presidential planes do get shot down, or brought down, sometimes.
For now, all is speculation.
But April 11, 2010, will prove to be one very fucking interesting day indeed in the history of the 21st century.
