Suspicions

After the horrible accident on April 10th, 2010, everyone was just too devastated to suspect anyone. But as the grief passed... the Poles are beginning to realize the truth. How could this be due to the weather, when witnesses clearly saw the accident happen, and the amateur video contained no fog whatsoever? How could two experienced pilots make a mistake like this? How could they not realize they were 2.5 meters above the ground just moments before crashing? Why did Russia claim 3 people survived, but did not call any ambulances? Why did Russian authorities lie, and claim the pilots did not speak Russian (when they did, very well), say that the plane tried to land four times (when it crashed on its first try, and another plane Ił-76 who flew in moments earlier attempted to land four times), and call it pilot error if those same pilots were in Smolensk just days earlier with Prime Minister Tusk?
And on March 13th, 2010, Georgian TV Imedi featured a fake newscast about Russian aggresion towards Georgia that causes the death of the Georgian President. And in the newscast, the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński, on his way in his presidential plane to aid Georgia, died in a crash.
Also, the whole delegation was supposed to arrive in Russia by train. Who convinced them otherwise?
I'm beginning to suspect Acting President Bronisław Komorowski and prime Minister Donald Tusk set this up with Russia. Now the PO political party (Komorowski's and Tusk's party) is reigning. And if Komorowski wins the elections, it will be in charge completely. Did you know in the first few days after the tradegy, Komorowski already signed some bills?
Also, I've read that Russians used EMP or electro magnetic impulses to knock down the plane. They've had the weapons since the Cold War, but in 2008 they developed a much smaller version 10 times as powerful. They send out powerful impulses that can destroy the machinery on the plane (such as the one that tells the pilot how high up in the air he/she is). Plus, once the machinery is destroyed, it is hard to determine the cause since the impulse is so short and powerful. In addition, the Russians were testing these weapons at the Smolensk military airport.
For these reasons, and for numerous others, it is obviously Russia who caused the tradegy. Once I have the time to translate them all from the articles I've found, I certainly will.

Tag from Breanne (finally got to it)

Thanks Breanne!
Rules: Choose 8 books you'd like to live in and why, then tag 8 people. Sorry my explanations are short and really bad, but I'm short on time, I might re-do the explanations soon and make them better:

1. Where the Red Fern Grows- I've always wanted to live in the country, and have dogs. It seems gorgeous
2. My Side of the Mountain- it has been my dream to live in the wild on my own,  and survive out there for at least a week, since forever!
3. Eragon- The landscape seems beautiful, plus all the awesome animals.
4. Inkspell- Farid sounds awesome, and Meggie is just my age, plus I love to read and write like her. Also, the world of the book that they read themselves into in the second book sounds amazing! And also the horned martens Jinx and Gwin sound so cute.
5.Kiki Strike- who doesn't want to be a super spy?
6.Prophecy of the Stones- I love fanstasy stories, and the world seems beautiful.
7.The Looking Glass Wars- I havent read the series yet, but it sounds good
8. the Lord of the Rings- I'd love to go see the Elves, and the hobbits (eat some good food!) and see Gondor, and meet the little creeper who's name I can't spell. Something like Smigol.

I tag:
HayHay
Cassie
The Golden Eagle
Elrania
Shadowflower
actually, I tag everyone who hasn't done this yet!

I got tagged, plus other stuff.

Breanne tagged me! Thanks a lot, but I have to decide which books to put, which may take some time.

In other news...

I spent 2 days at an overnight camp with school this week. The really annoying thing: I couldn't sleep all night cuz the teacher in my cabin was listening to her dumb ipod really loud all night long. Plus the light was shinin straight into my eyes and we had to leave that light on.

I'll try to post more tomorrow.

How does one summarize death in a few words, in a title?

This morning, I woke to, quite possibly, the saddest news I had ever heard. My mother sat down on my bed and told me there had been a plane crash in Russia, and the Polish President, my president, was dead. They had crashed in the trees on the way to commemorate tthe 70th anniversary of the Katyń Massacre, where over 22,000 Polish officers, intellectuals and soldiers were brutally murdered by Soviet secret police. There was a lot of fog, my mom said, and everyone was dead.
My mom had been up since 4am, when she received a text message from my aunt in Poland. In Polish school, we had a mass to honor them. But I'll never forget, on the way to school, we were listening to the radio, my mother and brother and I. And when they mentioned that Wojciech Seweryn, a Pole from Chicago, also perished in the crash, my mother gasped. She appeared so helpless, so shaken, and I hadn't ever seen her like this. What is death to change us this way? Why do we humans grieve, why don't we just allow deaths to pass by like other animals, like the pigeons I see on the roadside? They don't seem to care for the dead ones, crushed under our wheels? They don't even learn from their fallen comrades. I saw one pigeon, alone, in the debris of the roadside, half in the sun. It seemed like it matched the way this day has been so far, yet it kept hope, it was there, alive.
I was speechless nearly the whole day, and although I probably appeared not too shaken, not too bothered, in reality I was. I could hardly hold back tears. I thought, as I looked through the window at the beatiful bright blue sky, this can't be. How can this happen, and the world still remain like this: beautiful, unshaken, glorious? It reminded me how fragile life is, how much like a helpless flower that can be trampled at any time.
I thought about how ironic this tradegy was. It truly is, in a way that is hard to explain.
I was reminded of a similar Saturday, almost exactly 5 years ago. The day Pope John Paul II died. I was too young to truly comprehend what happened, and I didn't feel the sadness I feel now. But that Saturday, too, was a week after Easter. That Saturday was horribly sad.
I know, that in 20, 40, 50 years, I'll be able to remember this day as I remember the day the Pope died, as I remember the day my grandfather died of cancer. For some reason, my grandfather's death doesn't seem as horrible, as cut from the world, as this horrible accident. It was his time to go, he was elderly and sick with cancer. I just wish I could have seen him again before he died. But he lived in Poland, so I couldn't.

I'm Back! Happy Easter! And please help if you can to fix a lie in the Parade magazine

This morning at 6:20 as my family and I drove to church for the Rezurekcja or morning mass, I observed one of the three only things that could make getting up at 5 am worth it: a beautiful sunset, though partially hindered by the ugly buildings- brilliant orange like that of a marigold, turning into a luscious pink dappled with gray-blue storm clouds as it rose upwards;  stripes of the most vivid custard yellow extending to one side. The trees, most still leafless and like ominous shadows, outlined against the sky and an old, gothic church were the only objects that matched the painted sky.
*In case you were wondering, those other 2 things are: 1, a certain guy (Mimi you know who I'm talking bout) who was also in church this morning so I got doubly justified for getting up early; 2, a dog, which unfortunately is just a dream for now.*

Also, since I assume most of you are suckers for the truth, I hope at least some of you will join me on my quest to justice. I'm not sure if any of you read Parade Magazine, but today's edition included an article titled "The Last Nazi Hunter" by Ralph Blumenthal. Thats fine with me, I'm no Nazi lover. But the article TWICE mentioned "Polish concentration camps-" a fictional thing, as the closest you can get to that is the GERMAN, NAZI camps built on Polish ground- ground that the Germans occupied during WWII. I also encountered this in an earlier article from the same magazine. Today's article is here.
So, I told my parents, and decided to write a complaint. Go here. if you want to send a complaint too (I hope so, the more people the better and the more likely they will try to correct this).
I know maybe it was just badly phrased and meant camps built on Polish ground, but a few seemingly harmless words that maybe aren't meant the way readers interpret them can turn an otherwise truthful article into one harboring lies. So please, act!
