The weekly Wprost, (..), shows a politburo document, signed by Mikhail Gorbachev, which appears to warrant a KGB contract killing on John Paul II.
So claims Polish journalist John O. Kohler in a book, also released tomorrow, Chodzi o papie¿a. Szpiedzy w watykanie - (About the Pope: Spies in the Vatican). The politburo document says: "Use all available possibilities to prevent a new political trend, initiated by the Polish pope."
The document, which dates back to November 1979, - one year after Karol Wojtyla became pope - is signed by eight top Party officials including Konstantin Rusakov, who coordinated action with the Polish communist party, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
In Rome, Pope John Paul II survived four bullets on May 13, 1981 shot by Turk Mehmet Ali Hagca.
"If this information is true, Gorbachov should be brought to account," said Zbigniew Chlebowski, head of the ruling Civic Platform's parliamentary party.
Ping!
How do you prove something like this?
But I am sure the Russian communists must have hated the pope’s guts.
Boy, this will really elevate Gorby in the eyes of Liberals.
Id be curious to see Gorb splain himself if hes ever in a position to be queried -
Damn - Im protestant, but this pisses me off
Not surprising.
Now's the time to publicly demand Gorby's resignation from the multitude of environmental groups he chairs.
How does that translate to "kill him"
I suspect a writer is looking to make some sensationalist news out of nothing. Of course Russia wanted to stop the Pope, he and Reagan were bringing down the USSR without firing a shot
Obviously it was as inefficient as everything else under
Communist rule - Pope JPII died of old age...
New, sensational documents concerning the attempt against the late pope, John Paul II, have been revealed in a new book by John O. Kohler, an American journalist and writer. The book, entitled “It’s About the Pope. Spies in the Vatican”, will be released in Poland on Monday, April 28, 2008 by ZNAK Publishing House, known for its publications about the late pope.
The author reached a Kremlin document, which listed Soviet Politbureau members, who had signed an “informal death sentence” on the Polish pope. “Use all available possibilities to prevent a new political trend, initiated by the Polish pope, and “if necessary - reach to means beyond disinformation and discreditation.” This instruction was given to their subordinates in the KGB by members of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party in November of 1979.
“I was shocked, when I had found this order. The means “beyond disinformation and discreditation” meant only one thing: an approval to kill the pope”, John O. Kohler told a leading Polish weekly “Wprost” (read: vprost) this week, prior to the official launching of his book in Poland.
Who signed the “informal” death sentence against John Paul II? The party document obtained by the author of the book listed nine prominent Soviet CP members: the chief of the Soviet propaganda - Mikhail Suslov, members of the Presidium of the CC CPSU - Andrei Kirilenko, Konstantin Chernenko, secretaries of the CC - Konstantin Rusakov (responsible for the contacts with the Polish Communist Party), Vladimir Ponomarev, Ivan Kapitonov, Mikhail Zimyanin, Vladimir Dolgikh and Mikhail Gorbachev.
An article, written by Michal Krzymowski quoting Mr. John O. Kohler, will appear in the next issue of “Wprost” weekly, on Monday, April 28, 2008 - on the very day the new book is to be lauched and put on sale in Poland.

Oh boy, Rush will play his Gorbasism song from star wars to announce this. You know it’s intresting how the media elites hold up these Russian leaders as great guys but basically they are not much different than the thugs who shot the Romanov family during the Revolution.
If true — the &%^$&$%^ should be thrown out of the U.S. and his cushy positions with the San Francisco crowd....
