A plane carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski has crashed. Mr Kaczynski was on board along with his wife Maria and several senior government figures including the army chief of staff Gen Franciszek Gagor, central bank governor Slawomir Skrzypek and deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Kremer.
They were in Russia to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, when the communists killed thousands of Poles. One of hundreds of massacres and mass graves littering the Russian landscape curtsey of socialist policies.
So a president (and Eurosceptic) seriously disliked by Russian authorities is together with the army chief and other dignitaries on his way to commemorate lots of dead Poles by the hands of leftie Russians, they flew a Russian plane (Tupolev 154) and they end up being crispy corpses themselves on Russian soil…
So it is not unlikely that conspiracists will be watching this right now cooking up some plot about shape shifting relatives of the British Queen psychically channeling the Spirit of Stalin to bring down the plane to start WW III.
However there are no indications so far of foul play, just an ironic demise of many of the top wigs in Polish politics, which of course will cause some serious internal Polish problems and probably won’t do any good for the financial markets when they open on Monday. Another story like this during the weekend adding to the Greeks getting sucked into a black hole of despair and we’ll see a market crash next week.
I’ll be watching this closely with popcorn and some polish vodka…
