Michael Hastings’ Chilling Final Story

Journalist Michael Hastings was killed early Tuesday morning in a bizarre car incident in Los Angeles. Hastings, 33, was best known for writing the Rolling Stone story that ended in Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation as head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Hastings’ final story, “Why Democrats Love to Spy on Americans,” was a searing take on the NSA snooping scandal, which Hastings described as “North Korea-esque.” Hastings pulled no punches as he linked the NSA scandal to the Department of Justice’s spying on reporters and the IRS abuse scandal. Hastings built a case that the same Democrats who turned Bush-era anti-terrorism techniques into wedge issues that helped them capture Congress and the White House in 2006 and 2008 were now defending much worse and more widespread spying on American citizens by the Obama administration. …

The regime already crossed the mass-murder for political gain Rubicon with Fast and Furious. At least 300 dead Mexicans, and their deaths were the intended consequence of the program, meant to discredit the 2nd Amd in the USA.

That car crash is pretty weird.

The article these guys are referencing doesn’t appear to say anything more about the various Obama Admin scandals than what many other high-profile writers have said. Why would he be singled out?

FObama leaves the country so not to be a suspect.

Hey, like Hitler, he never killed anyone. He was only giving orders!

New facts, previously unpublished, maybe?

Anyone remember Kathrine Smith, her death in a flaming car, and all the Tennessee driver licenses she issued to ME men before that happened?

History teaches that the kind of power now running our country - always ends up behind the genocide of the Rulers’ political enemies.

Mass murder for political gain is a guarantee with these MarxoFascists. Genocide is an historical ‘next step’ for such people.

I don’t call Obama a Trojan Horse for nothing.

I wouldn’t be surprised. We need to keep an eye on this.

“Did they Breitbart him?”

My first thought also. Rush Limbaugh got a death threat around the same time that Breitbart died. And let’s not forget the Obama impersonator Steve Bridges, who died around that time. Dictators hate ridicule, even if mild.

Steve Bridges impersonation:

I remember the LA Times obituary which said Bridges imitated George W. Bush, Arnold Schwartzeneger, and other politicians.
