CLOAK-AND-DAGGER CRASH

IMHO such accidents are not accidental. The temptation for the Russian KGB (or whatever is its new name) was too great: the anti-Russian president and all the country’s elite – also anti-Russian–  were coming into their parlor. If earlier they had chased Alexander Litvinenko all over Europe to poison him with lethal polonium, why should the secret service miss this chance when the “lucky” cards were being dealt to them? Actually, they had dealt the cards to themselves when they repaired Lech Kaczynski’s TU-154 in the Russian city of Samara last December. The presidential plane was fully overhauled, the electronic and the navigation equipment was retrofitted. Yes, the plane was “flight-worthy” as the Russian authorities say. But wasn’t it difficult to insert the “right” chip in the navigation equipment during the repairs? Especially when it was known that the plane that was being repaired was “presidential”? Also tell me: what could stop those who had cynically blown off four apartment buildings in September 1999 killing  about 300 and injuring more than 600 of their own citizens? To murder is their profession.

Now they are shedding crocodile tears. The sad thing is that the so-called civilized world will “swallow” the results of the KGB investigation, because those results will smell of oil and gas.
