Michael Hastings NSA reporter dead in car crash fire in LA, REALLY?
 

Even the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who broke the original NSA spying story, wrote on Twitter, "Michael Hastings' final article was on Democrats & the NSA stories." Greenwald linked to Hastings' final story published on BuzzFeed, which was titled "Why Democrats love to spy on Americans."

Twitter, Facebook, and sharing site Reddit were abuzz Wednesday, with some users commenting that it was suspicious that Hastings, who famously brought down U.S. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal in a Rolling Stone cover story, died while in the middle of covering several hot-button topics like monitoring by the National Security Agency and the CIA.

thought the side mirror placement was interesting, the size of the fire, the fire hydrant/grass damage, and the lone entirely intact bottle of empty bud

i am surprised it took so long to post it here...

And the engine of that car flew that far??? How the fuck did that happen.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i've been waiting too, it happened just a couple miles away from here.

no reason to post this shit here anymore

btw:

'WikiLeaks ‏@wikileaks 19h
Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him.

Just a couple blocks away from Xbiz head quarters

100mph on Highland?

it happened tuesday night, when i saw it reported on the news i was like, no way that was a regular accident, he was either fleeing from someone who was out to get him or ?

and to clarify, i was actually more surprised it took this long to get to gfy than i was to hear about a fiery 100mph car crash on highland ave at 4am involving a journalist who spilled the beans on a high-ranking military dude.

Yeah, LA Weekly have been all over it. It deflects them for a couple days from their porn industry articles.

dont fuck wit obama yo

LOL. Who couldn't see this coming?

maybe a car virus that sets acceleration to 100?

Looks legit.

sounds like a conspiracy theory

They surely didn't do it without a warrant, right?

Don't fuck with power.

this will be an exciting new addition to the local murder bus tours. :upsidedow

if theymove fast, they can point to the burn marks left on the concrete.

not too sure about conspiracies..but he was a great writer.
I really wish that people like him were promoted in the media rather then the Kardashians:2 cents:

Don't drive fast on streets like that one. You end up dying.

Very interesting. The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

somneone else mentioned it already but still,
the car engine is like half a block away from where the car impacted. it just jumped out from the energy of the impact and bounced 300 yards backwards?
this is not a cheapo plastic car, it is a mercedes - i dont think they explode on impact?

Damn, I never though of that. How hard would be for someone who knows auto eproms enough to put a "glitch" in there? Plug into OCDB II port and upload new firmware with slight bug. After one hard brake, accelerate full throttle, or after one hard break and a left, accelerate throttle to full. Etc...

A lot of foreign-engineered vehicles have this as a safety feature. When front crumple zones compress, they sheer off engine mounts and allow motor to tumble away, under the vehicle, on front end impacts. It's to save from engine going through firewall and injuring/killing the front seat occupants.

Looks like it went with the flow of the crash judging by all the smashed pieces all over the road.

Also - mercs have safety features (as mentioned above) that let the engine drop down ie mounts to break so that the occupants do not have an engine / trans coming into the cabin.

with onstar etc, they have full access to everything at anytime

of course we should not we should live as sheep

LOL... No warrant needed!

This car looks like it was slowly driving down a city street and had a minor fender bender... And the car exploded like that for no reason?

Jesus fucking shit, even I am calling bullshit on this one.

IMO his widow rightfully bashed the NY Times for editorializing his obit, so classy of them

was the "accident" payback for McChrystal story or to prevent him from finishing a new story he was working on...

LOL. Now we know the reported story is fake. Nobody can do 100 mph on Highland...unless they are being chased I suppose.

Whats scary is the FEDS are not even trying to hide this shit anymore.

Come over from the darkside. :thumbsup

Its a pretty fucked up event. The accident.:winkwink:

what makes you think it was the us federal gov? couldn't it have been any organization? maybe the general had a special deal going with an entity somewhere and the rs story blew that deal.

who knows right?

this thread does show that many peeps here are open to the fact that conspiracies happen.:)

For me, FEDS is a blanket term for anyone with a security clearance or working for an agency or agencies in the US or one of its allies engaged in military/technical/financial activities on behalf of TPTB.
