Reflexively distrustful, eager to make powerful enemies, the young journalist whose Mercedes exploded in Los Angeles one night couldn’t possibly have died accidentally, could he?
A t the end of his life, Michael Hastings, like many of the progressive journalists he counted among his friends, felt besieged by an overreaching government. Hastings was living in Los Angeles, and at a Beverly Hills theater in April, he took part in a panel discussion about the documentary War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State. Interviewed in May on The Young Turks, a talk show on Current TV, Hastings railed against the Obama administration, which “has clearly declared war on the press”; the only recourse, he said, was for the press to respond: “We declare war on you.” On May 31, he dashed off an urgent tweet: “first they came for manning. Then Assange. Then fox. Then the ap.drake and the other whistle-blowers. Any nyt reporters too.” He attended screenings of his friend Jeremy Scahill’s film Dirty Wars, which seeks to expose “the hidden truth behind America’s expanding covert wars,” and when leaks about the NSA began appearing in The Guardian, and Edward Snowden was charged with espionage, Hastings was deeply troubled by the revelations and the Justice Department’s response. On June 7, his last post for BuzzFeed, where he was a staff writer, focused on “Why Democrats Love to Spy on Americans,” and at the time of his death, Hastings was working on a profile of CIA director John Brennan for Rolling Stone.

Didn’t I already say you could save yourself the trouble of posting paragraphs of this nonsense in my direction? You’re not saying anything original that thousands of other kooks haven’t already plastered all over the internet. Repeating it doesn’t make it any more convincing.
Go get some proof, not theories, and then get back to me.
“You mean like video of the car exploding before it hit the tree?”
You can point me towards one of those?
Typical.
Do you agree with Zullo’s conclusion that Obama’s BC and selective service registration are forged?
The video is embedded within the article at http://www.sandiego6.com/story/Hastings_Death_Examined-20130804 , which also has a description of the sequence of events, apparently taken from stills of the video. There were 3 explosions.
“Typical.”
What’s typical? Do you try to accuse people of saying things while being too lazy to quote them all the time?
“Do you agree with Zullo’s conclusion that Obama’s BC and selective service registration are forged?”
Yes, of course they are forged.
OK then. I must have mis-remembered. I apologize.
Came across this. Don’t know if it is true.
