A fascinating piece by John Schindler, an American intelligence expert, reveals the results of a new investigation by renowned British air crash expert, Frank Taylor, of the causes of the crash that killed Polish president Lech Kaczynski and 94 others, including the top brass of the Polish military on April 10, 2010 near Smolensk. Taylor has no doubt about what brought the plane (a Russian-made TU-154) down: "There is no doubt there were explosions on board before the aircraft hit the ground." This, of course, according to Schindler, means that the Russians and Putin personally were complicit in the murder of the Polish president (2005=2010). It should be recalled that the Polish delegation was on its way to pay its respects to the 22,000 Polish officers murdered in cold blood by the NKVD at Katyn. There have been many experts who had doubted the conclusion of the Russian and Polish investigations from 2011 which claimed that the crash was an accident and, as Schindler writes, Polish, US and German intelligence experts have long suspected Russian foul play, but Taylor's investigation is the first that conclusively establishes Moscow's guilt. What the political implications of this investigation are is not yet clear, but it is certain that it is unlikely to further endear the Poles, where Kaczynski's identical twin brother dominates politics, to Putin's Russia. http://observer.com/2018/05/evidence-shows-russia-had-role-in-smolensk-crash-killed-kaczynski/
