Poland, Russia, Gas Deals, Plane Crashes and Political Assassinations

WHY?

Money tends to drive politics.  Polish President Lech Kaczinski’s government was not playing ball with the European Union.  Poland has been procrastinating (as far as the EU is concerned, anyway) with its transfer from its national zloty currency to the euro.

Closer to the target–as far as money is concerned: President Lech Kaczinski was staunchly anti-Russian politically, and was going to deny Russia what would have been (and now is going to be thanks to the Prime Minister Donald Tusk) the biggest business deal in Polish history: a $100 billion dollar gas deal with Russia’s nationalized company Gazprom (source).  This deal is now about to go down in spite of Kaczynski. The following is a paragraph from the above source:

“The contract to buy gas from Gazprom until 2037 will make Poland 100% dependent on Russian gas for the next 28 years in spite of the announcement of the discovery of huge gas reserves in Poland in April just before the memorial service in Katyn, Smolensk.”

As luck would have it, a few internet searches can sometimes turn up interesting things.  One of the things that jumped out to me personally was atimesonline.co.uk article from April 5th (five days before the crash), which claims that the gas reserves under Poland would have made her “self-sufficient for the foreseeable future.”  Kaczynski was for exploiting these reserves, and axing the deal with Gazprom and the Russians. From the Times Online article:

“American technology to produce shale gas is unleashing a scramble for drilling rights in Poland, where experts believe vast reserves of unconventional gas exist that could help to weaken Russia’s grip on Europe’s energy supplies.”

So, to recap: five days before the entire top echelon of Poland’s government dies in a suspicious plane crash, the world finds out that Poland has vast deposits of previously unreachable gas shale, which would have made importing 70 percent of its gas from Russia obsolete and Poland itself economically self-sustaining.  Then we find out that Kaczynski was about to deny the biggest business deal in Polish history to the national gas company of Russia.  Are we starting to see a motive here?

I believe Kaczynski saw not only Poland’s independence from the European Union (and the euro itself)–and not only freedom from dependence on Russian gas–in these reserves of natural gas, but personal fortune and power.  Upstart nations who wish for financial independence and their leaders have always been targets of the international zionist/Jewish banksters, as Germany discovered in 1933.

To make matters worse for Russia, a Polish MP has claimed that the Russian government orchestrated the plane crash.  Not only that, but Polish Catholic Bishop Mieczyslaw Cieslar was killed in what is being called a car accident on his way home from Kaczynski’s funeral.  Did he miss the flight to Katyn or something?

People all over the world are suspicious of the crash, and of the gunshots at the crash site recorded by Mendierej.  Not to mention the apparent shooting of one of the passengers, or the fact that there does not appear to be any bodies  of victims (besides the two apparently live victims, one of whom being the one who appears to get shot) in Mendierej’s video footage from moments after the crash..

There is something extremely rotten in Smolensk, Russia.  As news unfolds, I will update this site accordingly.  I am particularly interested in knowing if the story of Andrij Mendierej’s murder is just a rumor, or actually happened.  The motive for killing him is there: if he witnessed or recorded people being shot (as it certainly appears he did), those shooters may just fear him testifying against them-in court or in the press.  If it is just a rumor, I’m interested in the source of the rumor: was it just a sick joke by a spiteful person, or was the information covered up?  Or was a rumor spread to make the investigation into the “accident” look silly?  That would make sense if it is a rumor, given that everyone it seems in the alternative press (including me) jumped on it right away.  I saw the source was a Polish website, but did not realize it was a comment by a user, as opposed to a story by the main site, and i believe many others made the same assumption originally.  More has been unfolding every day, so we’ll just have to wait this one out a little.

The fact that there are no mainstream news sources on this story may tell others it is just a rumor, but I feel the need to point out that there is no mainstream coverage of Mendierej’s video at all.  It very well may be a rumor, but I’ll reserve judgment until all the cards are in.  I’d personally like to see another video from him.  That should satisfy everyone on whether he’s still alive or not.

I personally couldn’t be more suspicious of the official story of this supposed accident.  I also wish to point out that we still most likely do not know all there is to be known about this.  The truth has a tendency of outing itself however, sometimes with the help of a few good bloggers.
