What is hiding Lech Walesa?


Everyone of us during his studies had to interpretate works of a great amount of different poets and writers. What the poet meant writing this or that? Today, this skill can be a great advantage used as a key to understand what is happening around us. Especially when the words come from the Pope or are being said by the former President.  ".... - nobody would last the truth about these events" - says former Polish president Lech Walesa in the interview with Piotr Najsztub for the "Wprost" weekly. He claims that the Smolensk catastrophy will divide Poles until the moment, when the conversation between Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski will be revealed. As he says, the brothers were talking a dozen or so minutes before the catastrophy. I am not a fan o the case of Smolensk catastrophy, but I will ask: What did the former President mean when he said this? Does he know something we don't? Does he say so because he simply can't stand this knowledge? The fact that he knows more than an average person we can be almost sure. Who had told him what was the conversation about? American intelligence? Maybe Russian? If so, why Walesa doesn't  finish in declaring his thoughts and all the intelligence officers pretend that they do not know anything? At the preent day, no one doubts that everybody is eavesdropping one another. Is the fact, that oficially nobody wants to convince means that there is something more to hide?


I will remind one famous story which was later described in "The Hunt for Red October"- the debut book of Tom Clany from 1984. Let's get back to the roots. In original story The Red October was not a submarine, but a frigate "Storozhevoy". What hapenned in 1975 had collapsed the Red Army and the whole world. One of the crew members was Valery Mikhailovich Sablin, he was from a family with rich marine traditions. Sablin was a real son of the October Revolution. He couldn't lie and he hated duplicity. He was well educated and well-read. "Storozevoy" entered the port in Riga at the November 7th 1975 to honor the 58th anniversary of the October Revolution. Commander leutenant Sablin had decided to ude this symbolic date. Next day together with few helpers he took control over the frigate. He inprisoned ship's captain and then he had iniciated a referrendum between gathered officers and warrant officers .They have decided to move through Irbe Strait, the way out of the Gulf of Riga. Sablin refused to stop the ship. The chase was complicated and took a long time. It is said that Sablin wanted to get to Lenningrad, because he wanted to have a patriotical speech. The ship was moving next to the islands of Hiuma and Sarema which meant that it was very close to Sweden. Scandinavians who were eavesdropping during this dramatical chase were hiding whole situation. At last, on the international waters "Storozevoy" was bombed by the chasing ships and it was taken over only 50 nautical miles from Gotland Island. Whole crew was arrested and KGB had forced everybody who took part in the chase to remain silent. The authorities terrified by the perspective of growing revolutionary atmosphere, have released a statement saying that the rebels wanted to escape to the West. Commander leutenant Valery Sablin received a death sentence. He was shot on August 3rd 1976. The most active crew members received for few years sentence in prison. The rest of the crew was divided and moved into the Northern Sea and Pacific Ocean fleets. The captain was expelled from the communist party and  forced to leave the navy .This is just the short version of the story. 


If the intelligence agencies have got the resources and the instruments to check everything and everyone so they know what Walesa is talking about. Do they similary as in 1970's, cannot say what do they know? And if they don't say, there comes another question: who do they support and why? Let's ask one more question: Why  you don't say what you know, Mr. President?
