Suspicions Growing Over Death of Journalist Probing NSA and CIA Abuses
The New American ^ | 08 July 2013 | Alex Newman

Weeks after the fiery death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings , who was probing abuses by the CIA and NSA and had recently informed others that he was being investigated by federal authorities, suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet. While police officially ruled the death an “accident,” serious questions are still surfacing — even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a “big story” and needing to go “off the radar,” it has become clear that he was worried, too.

Hastings, who wrote for Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and other publications, was probably best known for his award-winning 2010 article “The Runaway General.” The piece helped bring down U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Despite his establishment credentials and what analysts called his “Democrat-friendly” reporting, Hastings had become extremely alarmed about the “surveillance state” and other troubling developments in recent months. His last published story: "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans."

...

Less than 24 hours before his death, Hastings made it crystal clear that he was concerned about his own well-being

...

Heavy-hitters from the government sector have expressed concerns, too. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke, for example ... that the deadly car crash was “consistent with a car cyber-attack.” Intelligence agencies for major powers — including the U.S. government — almost certainly know how to remotely seize control of a car

Everything I can find says the C250 is fueled by gasoline.

Please see post #124. My earlier speculations re: diesel were not based in facts.

Not a hellfire. I’ve heard one take out a car. The “Whoosh...... Boom” can be heard from at least a mile away. There were witnesses and people awake at the time and no ones reported a missile sound.

The smaller engines are all the rage now. They use high pressure injectors to inject fuel and air at 100s of PSI prior to combustion. The effect is the small engine has an effective displacement of several times a conventional engine nullifying the ole Cu In. comparison. Check out the Rotax engines. 400 hp in a bread box.

I hope that Edward Scissorhands clipped some info on the alphabet shadow government(s), complete with some eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence names... and for crying out loud future whistleblowers turn the info over to WikiLeaks and get it over with, (ixnay on the Guardian/Wanking Post types) because it's going to happen and can't be stopped.

Isaiah 47

The Fall of Babylon

1 “Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.” ...

8 ‘Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself,
“I am, and there is none besides me. America, the only superpower...

15 That is all they are to you – these you have dealt with and laboured with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.

Ouch...
