In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
Breibart.com ^ | 3/1/12 | Larry Solov

Posted on 03/01/2012 6:00:33 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

I think Churchill said: Courage is the first virtue because
it makes all the others possible. Andrew was Mr. Courage.
Another line, from "The Hustler", when Paul Newman refuses
to go with George C. Scott after the suicide of Laurie Piper,
Newman say: No, because if I do that then she never lived, and she never died, and we both know that isn't true.
Andrew's courage should move us to take up the culture war wherever we are.
This is how we can give testimony to Andrew's life.

Obviously “they” had to announce the death but hadn’t constructed a credible story.

No celebrity death has ever been announced like that.

There are many ways to kill someone and make it appear medical related, and the Chicago Outfit is well versed in them. President Obama has a lot of friends in low places, e.g., Tony Rezko (his "made men" connection) and Bill Ayres (his Commie connection). Mr. Breitbart lived in Los Angeles County, California, where covering up suspicious deaths has been old practice for many decades. (Remember the movie, Chinatown, based in Los Angeles during the 1930s, where the powers that be covered up the dirty dealings of land developers.) In our time, the county and state governments are firmly in Democrat hands.

Breitbart was a threat to the leftists in power, and he had connections to both the conservative media like Fox and the radio talkers and the alternative, libertarian leaning new sources in cyberspace. He is no longer a threat to them.

Fox has just announced there will be an autopsy.

If I used the word ‘coroner’ incorrectly, my apology.

Here is a podcast from a local Boston radio show on which he appeared a few days ago. He mentions at one point how he had bodyguards with him at CPAC.

Prayers for him. If he died unprepared, may God forgive his sins and take him to Him. May his soul rest in peace.

If we were muslims, this would get really ugly. They tend to have a kill people and ask questions later mentality.

Either that , or some other “sudden, silent killer”.

Such as ‘sudden jihad syndrome’?

The last comment I posted before I refreshed to the index page and saw the headline that Breitbart had died was at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2852860/posts?page=68#68 .

I was talking about why the Cold Case Posse - as well as any follow-up criminal investigation of Obama - needs to be funded. What I said will be even more the case now that Andrew Breitbart is dead, which I believe is a very POINTED message to the media who might have considered reporting on the credible evidence that will be offered up by a formal law enforcement investigation today.

Here’s what I said:

I’ll just say one more thing about costs. Willingness to come forward as a witness sometimes depends on whether a person and/or family is able to afford a bodyguard, or whether law enforcement can afford to put somebody in a witness protection program.

Glenn Beck left Fox because Fox wouldn’t pay to protect lower-level staffers who were being continuously threatened by Soros operatives. Beck could pay to provide protection for himself and his family but not for everybody in the whole darn company who was being threatened.

We are dealing with the mob. Literally. And freedom never has been free. It’s disillusioning, I know, but it’s time we all realized that if money can buy an assassination, then money is needed to buy defenses. It’s time the public realized exactly what deadly game is being played by the puppet-masters of that smiling guy reading off the teleprompter.

Why do you assume the Obama tapes will not be released? AB was not stupid. There are probably multiple copies in the hands of trusted journalists. If he was killed, they can’t kill everyone.

I met Andrew three times. We have lost a great warrior, who was inspired by Dennis Prager. Andrew believed in ethics and the truth. Leaving a wife and four children, five to twelve years of age, is such a tragedy. RIP, Andrew. You did good work and made a difference.

I looked up ‘coroner’ on Wikipedia,and they do perform autopsies in certain states. They actually have various duties as well as removing a corpse.

I would not have the stomach for that.
