The revelation that Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings was working on a story about the CIA before his death and had contacted a Wikileaks lawyer about being under investigation by the FBI hours before his car exploded into flames has bolstered increasingly valid claims that the 33-year-old was assassinated.
Hastings died early Tuesday morning in Hollywood when his car allegedly hit a tree at high speed. The Los Angeles Coroner’s office has not yet been able to officially identify the body as Hastings because it is so badly burned.
Skeptics of the official narrative have highlighted eyewitness accounts which state that Hastings’ Mercedes “exploded”.
Images of the vehicle appear to show more damage to the rear, around the area of the fuel tank, than the front, leading to speculation that a car bomb which ignited the fuel could have been responsible for the incident.

“No matter how you slice this particular pie, a Mercedes is not just going to explode into flames without a little assistance,” writes freelance journalist Jim Stone. “Car fires in new cars happen for three main reasons — running the engine out of oil, or running the engine out of coolant, or after an absolutely huge car mangling accident, having the hot side of the battery short out against the frame before it reaches the fuse panel. And for all 3 of those normal reasons, which account for virtually all car fires in modern cars, the fire would have started in the engine compartment, progressed slowly, and scorched the hell out of the paint before ever reaching the gas tank. That clean paint is the be all tell all, Michael Hastings was murdered, and the rest is detail.”
Stone also questions why a white sheet has been draped over the vehicle in the image below.

The questions surrounding the precise nature of the “accident” that killed Hastings are given more weight by the fact that the journalist had made enemies within both the FBI and the CIA.
“Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him,” the official Wikileaks Twitter account announced yesterday.

Hastings “had the Central Intelligence Agency in his sights” and was set to release an article exposing the agency, according to L.A. Weekly.

Following his role in bringing down Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, Hastings was told by a McChrystal staffer, “We’ll hunt you down and kill you if we don’t like what you write.”
“Whenever I’d been reporting around groups of dudes whose job it was to kill people, one of them would usually mention that they were going to kill me,” said Hastings.
Hastings was renowned for being “only interested in writing stories someone didn’t want him to write — often his subjects,” according to Buzzflash editor Ben Smith, adding, “He knew that there are certain truths that nobody has an interest in speaking, ones that will make you both your subjects and their enemies uncomfortable. They’re stories that don’t get told because nobody in power has much of an interest in telling them.”

wait for it...... wait for it..... » Evidence Indicates Michael Hastings Was Assassinated Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind! from http://jimstonefreelance.com/hastingsmurdered.html

So did this journalist and his car blow up from hitting a tree? Or was there something more sinister in play? Either way RIP Michael Hastings.
 


Hastings' car smashed into a tree and burst into flames early Tuesday morning near Melrose and Highland avenues, according to family and friends. It appears he was driving at a high rate of speed, and at the scene of the crash, there were no skid marks.

Just as a point of correction AJ has never once said anything about shape shifting lizards. That story had nothing to do with him. It was the mainstream media that put that uninformed idea into your head.

Point 2 AJ is not the originator of this story or the speculation. He simply reported on it.

T'was just poking fun. TBH I didn't even read the thread closely enough that there was a story from Infowars.

Is it wrong to question the death of yet another prominent anti establishment person? If you want names I would be happy to put that list together from just the last 6 months; the first one I get, but this is like the 6th one in the last 6 months. I am not saying he was killed. Simply asking the question as to the possibility.
 
so famous/important people are somehow impervious to premature death, baring a conspiracy?

not at all, just look at james gandolfini. But how many prominent people that are actively trying to "out" the establishment need to die before it stops being coincidence, or conspiracy? 1? 3? 6? 10? 1000?
 
What if Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are part of a cointelpro psy-op?

What if Hasting's "expose" on General McChrystal was nothing more than well-written propaganda to distance Obama from the war and provide a pre-planned fall guy to act as the villain and face of the war?

What if the Snowden leaks were planned and released by insiders with the intention to send the public a loud and clear message that "big brother" can and does monitor everything that you do, to instill fear and obedience?

What if... I actually got some work done today?

There's so much information, dis-information, deception and lies coming from all angles that it's impossible for anyone to ever know what's really going on. And that's the point.

Was he assassinated? Probably. Unfortunately that tends to happen when you make enemies out of (or get in bed with) people who routinely use assassination to solve their problems.

And for the record for all I know it could just be a crazy coincidence, and I'm not trying to disrespect the guy so soon after his death. Just saying no matter what happened, chances are we'll never know for sure.
 
Maybe AJ is right, but the problem with conspiracy theories is that they can't be falsified because any evidence against the conspiracy becomes part of the conspiracy. If the report shows he was drunk that will debunk the conspiracy, but then maybe the results were faked and so on.
 
We still have a building that fell on 9/11 that never sustained damage when the planes hit the other buildings....that has never been explained.

of coarse he was wacked.

"the govt was probably protecting national security"

Exactly. The WF/work equation is like a teeter totter. The less time spent here, the more productive we are.

For me, higher productivity translates into shipping more, making more, and having more time at my disposal. Very easy decision for me. :)

if 911 is a conspiracy why would the govt. make such a glaring mistake by destroying an unrelated building? Or is it to make us question the conspiracy as I'm doing now?
