I wonder if its odd that a body is burned beyond recognition from a car crash?I think we have a starting point.

Add car-into-palm-tree to the list of possible “suiciding” methods.

Not only that but car into palm tree creating a fire so fierce the body is unrecognizable? Maybe--must just be a coincidence....

FBI = KGB FBI now Obama’s goon squad

Very possible I started to wonder when it took sooo long for the fbi to go into Benghazi because it was "too dangerous"? At first I passed it off to the regime just making them stall, now I'm not so sure..

he was trying to connect the dots between the Petraeus resignation and Benghazi.

Tareq was well connected in many business circles, also on the board of this Palestinian group....suddenly he’s made into an idiot...it never did make sense...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Task_Force_on_Palestine

I’ve always been pretty sure they were invited - why did they want to make him into a buffoon which he certainly wasn’t - did he know too much? I mean who’d believe anything he said after the beating he took. I didn’t follow it up so not sure if it got sorted though I know they got divorced.

One can’t help but wonder if there aren’t many more generals being blackmailed by our own government - say for political purposes - like supporting their crooked april spring socalled revolutions or afghanstani drug smuggling (they now supply 75% of heroine to the world) or even homosexuality in the army and suchlike. Didn’t Petraeus write the COIN Doctrine? It’s certainly suiting the “people rebellions” going on all over the ME...

Yes, I heard of the pool of dead WMD scientists, but never heard of ‘Boston Brakes’. Interesting link, not sure of all the claims, but it is worth looking at.

Witnesses reported two cars in the vacinity traveling at a high rate of speed. More and more, especially in expensive cars, the controls are "fly by wire." Only an electronic connection between the throttle pedal and the fuel supply. I have read of steering systems without mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the rack. It wouldn't be too difficult to integrate a remote control and use an RF device to take over at an opportune time.

Interesting information. If a car has an onboard computer system, it can also be victimized by ‘war drivers’ using a laptop with certain hacking software. (That may be the same thing you’re saying?)

I have often wondered about Toyota’s issues with gas pedals. Do you know if their throttle and fuel supply is connected electronically like that? I’ve wondered if it was possible for them to be blackmailed by a nation state that is capable of using sophisticated methods involving satellite and the car’s GPS coordinates. .... “Give us what we want or we will cause ALL of your cars to malfunction and crash and kill people.”

Red herring.

Quietly, it was eventually disclosed by the NTSB that Toyota's problem with accelerator pedals was operator error -- abetted by mass hysteria.

There was, in fact, no mechanical (or electronic) problem.

It sounds outlandish, but unless i missed something, Toyota couldn’t find anything wrong for a long time, then they concluded that their gas pedals were sticking because they were impeded by the rug/carpeting. Seriously?

To the first part, yes, more or less. To the second, sorry I don't know about Toys. And the third, they'll never get me; my oldest car is 47 years old and the newest 23.

Happened during the Clinton era, they just brazened it out, counting on scandal fatigue and just plain old disbelief. It sounds bizarre and ridiculous, it just keeps coming and coming, one revelation after another, and many will just decide that it’s politically motivated hysteria. It’s much easier to keep thinking everything is OK, so the populace begins tuning it out.

I get your point. Only trouble is this young 33 year old guy died for his trouble as his car reportedly; “jackknifed at 100 mph and mysteriously hit a tree.” Witnesses stated that”it sounded like a bomb went off”, furthermore body burned beyond recognition—lots of coincidences here.Hope someone of journalistic integrity is on this one.
Here is what Hastings was also working on as well, below:
Got it from here:
http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/06/19/michael-hastings-chilling-final-story/

“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.

As Hastings detailed likely short-term fallout as the NSA leak is investigated, he wrote:

[J]udging by the DOJ’s and FBI’s recent history, it would seem that any new leak case would involve obtaining the phone records of reporters at the Guardian, the Washington Post, employees at various agencies who would have had access to the leaked material, as well as politicians and staffers in Congress—records, we now can safely posit, they already have unchecked and full access to.

In short: any so-called credible DOJ/FBI leak investigation, by its very nature, would have to involve the Obama administration invasively using the very surveillance and data techniques it is attempting to hide in order to snoop on a few Democratic Senators and more media outlets, including one based overseas.”
