Rolling Stone had announced after his death, they would publish the story he was working on in October. They never did. Also, a few days after RS’s announcement of the plan to publish his story, Brennan made a statement he would allow the Benghazi witnesses to be made available to congress. Brennan has lots of friends I’m sure.

LOLOLOL

We’re supposedly the ones unwilling to consider facts and you won’t even take the time to read my comment saying that the author admitted the facts on which skeptics of the official story base their skepticism. lolol

Your slip is sticking out.

I tend to agree with you. I associate with a few men who have similar behavior histories and professional confidence. I would never be surprised to learn of their deaths in a similar fashion...high speed crashes, late in the night, in populated areas.

I’m sure I’ve already heard all your “facts” a dozen times, so it would be an exercise in tedium.

couldn’t possibly have died accidentally, could he?

Yes, it happens daily.

So - like the libelous author of this article - you acknowledge that you know the facts on which the skepticism is based. You have no excuse for believing the official story then, unless you have some innocent explanation for why his car spontaneously exploded. I’m actually interested to hear your explanation for that.

He didn’t die in a crash. He died in a car explosion that preceded a crash.

Notice I put "facts" in quotations marks? You conspiracy nuts are all the same... you confuse your interpretation of events with facts, then act surprised that other people don't rush to agree with you. After all, the "facts" are clear!

Why did the car explode before it hit the tree?

BTW, is Richard Clarke a “conspiracy nut”?

I've always thought Hastings' death was suspicious, but now, after reading more about Hastings' driving habits, drug use, and paranoia/weird behavior from the time he was a teenager, I'm not so sure.

Those facts might have simply made it easier to decide to bump him off. The actors have built-in plausible deniability.

The car probably got suicidal, after it realized how many stupid conspiracy nuts there are in this country.

In this case, yes he is.

Your non-serious answer suggests you have no explanation.

Tell me - do you believe that there are never any conspiracies? If so, why do you believe that? If not, then how would you know if there WAS a conspiracy?

>> like many of the progressive journalists ... felt besieged by an overreaching government.

“like” the progressives? Progressives are all about the overreaching government — it is their creation!

I’m sure I will never convince you otherwise...but we’ve seen the same video and have come to different conclusions.

My conclusion: he lost control and crashed himself. If you slow the video down, you can see exactly where he begins to fishtail, eventually losing control and hooking left into the tree.

“Your non-serious answer suggests you have no explanation.”

No, it suggests the level of seriousness that I think your question deserves to be treated with.

“Tell me - do you believe that there are never any conspiracies?”

Only conspiracy nuts think that if someone doesn’t agree with their loony theory, that it might be because that person thinks there are never any conspiracies.
