On The Elusive Details of Michael Hastings' Death

The Michael Hastings Car Crash: No Skids Marks, A Flying Engine And “Boston Brakes”

In cases such as the highly suspicious and tragic car crash/explosion that killed celebrated investigative journalist Michael Hastings, I try to reserve commentary for a little bit to let facts emerge following the initial speculative flurry. Particularly when it involves a journalist with whom I am only slightly familiar. I think we can all agree at this point that based on what has come forward in the past several weeks it is more than likely Mr. Hastings was murdered.

Explain to me how we are not now in the grip of a sinister murderous tyranny?

America under 0bama is now a thuggish, hi-tech banana republic, and the president intends on keeping it that way.

He wanted to destroy America: he succeeded.

You have to love how entertaining things get during the endgame. We’re at the stage now where the establishment thugs will not only kill a reporter for committing an act of journalism, but kill him in such an obvious, in-your-face manner so as to advertize that they can kill whoever they want and get away with it. Any bets on when Greenwald and Snowden get Hasting’d?

If a high-performance automobile does a 60 degree turn in the middle of the night and crashes leaving no skidmarks, I guess one explanation might be that there was a secret government conspiracy to kill the driver.

Another one might be that he fell asleep or passed out at the wheel.

Yes, thanks for the post.

I hope Tyler Durden is watching his back, too. He has a habit of posting what he thinks about the Federal Reserve and other matters, and he often criticizes Gubbermint management.

Yes, with the LAPD sitting the evidence, this would be pretty hard to prove. But it seems extremely likely that he was murdered—and not the first.

I believe that the C-class is designed to eject the engine in the event of a crash.

The drive train seperated from the body ? And was found 150 feet from the body of the car ?

I read that it is designed to do that.

An eyewitness at the scene, Jose, employed at nearby business ALSCO Inc said, the car was traveling very fast and he heard a couple explosions shortly before the car crashed.

Can passing out at the wheel cause the car to explode BEFORE it crashes?

And no one has asked Mercedes for assistance in understanding what happened ?

My only bet would be both Greenwald and Snowden are in somebody's Dead Pool, and the stakes are very high.

Good point. If the famous Jose says so, then there is no need for further inquiry.

Actually there IS. That’s the point.

One thing I learned a long time ago was to be very wary of coincidences. The coincidences surrounding this, coupled with the driver’s MO and the details of the event cause one to immediately suspect fowl play. And the more we learn, the more apparent it is.

No, no, no. You are in FreeRepublic Konspiracy Korner. You are not allowed to point out “reasonable alternatives” to hyperventilating conspiratorial speculators. Doing so is one sign of a disinformation agent, or a liberal troll! /s

Is that where we will read how both Breitbart and Hasting's phones were 'on alert' with the help of their carrier? Everyone knows the gov't can't do that.

Hmm, but hasn’t everyone already concluded that he was murdered, based on a video and what a few people like Jose have said? So, why bother to investigate? We don’t need pesky facts coming to light and getting in the way of righteous indignation! /s
