Mystery grows: Journalist died prepping Obama exposé
wnd ^ | 8/29/13 | Jerome R. Corsi

NEW YORK – Before his death in a fiery car crash, Michael Hastings was preparing to publish a major investigative piece tied to the undercover agent who is suspected of sanitizing President Obama’s passport records prior to the 2008 presidential election.

The mystery has only deepened since the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office ruled that drugs in his system at the time of the June 18 crash, including amphetamines and marijuana, likely did not contribute to the crash.

Hastings, 33 years old at the time of his death, wrote for Gentleman’s Quarterly, Rolling Stone and Buzzfeed, reporting on national security issues.

His June 2010 article in Rolling Stone featuring remarks highly critical of the Obama administration made by Gen. Stanley McChrystal — then the commander of allied forces in Afghanistan — led to President Obama relieving McChrystal of command.

At one of the last security conferences someone displayed how they could take over an airliner with an android phone. Unnerving to say the least.

Services like OnStar give hackers an open door. It’s likely working off tcp/ip and once you have the address it’s an open port field day most likely.

You have a tech background, thus your argument is more solidly-based than the typical hysterical over-reach to blame some kind of “hacking” when Occams Razor suggests any number of alternatives. A forensic analysis is the only way to know for sure, and we (outsiders) will never know the results even if that is done. It would take a lot of work to overcome the internal partitioning between systems but I agree it could theoretically be possible to go thru the mobile network to a phone that could in turn act as a gateway via bluetooth to onboard embedded systems. But boy, that’s a lot of stars and planets that need to align perfectly. But, those with deepest pockets and unlimited resources would be the ones to do it, given sufficient motivation. Once you have a onboard telematics with RF capability in a vehicle, the slope gets a lot more slippery, and even a skeptic must admit the probability of such mayhem can’t be dismissed.

How much of the toxicology report do I believe?

As is so often the case when President Screwtape is involved, answers are few and far between. Questions just lead to more questions.

Or given enough time. I don’t imagine that that Hastings report was completed in a day.

Your post proves there are many involved in this fraud. I don’t believe for a minute Obama is smart enough to pull all this off by himself. There is a huge machine behind him.

No one who knows, and can prove, the truth will come forward. If they “know” things, they also know they can be ruined or killed.

Just put it in a jar under “Funk and Wagnalls” and let late night TV take care of it.

More than likely. Well, zero screwed the wrong pooch on this one, we have that passport breach heavily documented - which also included thighness’s passport records - and Young and Quarrls’ murders will be solved.

Nixon backed off in 1960 when he knew there was voter fraud and could prove it. He was told he could be president in 1968 after Kennedy served two terms. Kennedy was taken out. LBJ finished the term then was re-elected but didn’t run for another term even though he was eligible because it had been promised to Nixon. In 1968 he moved into the white house.

How’s all that for conspiracy a nut job?

I think that the toxicology report is irrelevant at this point. Even the report states it had no contribution to the crash.

And probably a HIPAA violation to boot, likely prescriptions.

Weren’t a couple of cops murdered near the scene of this accident shortly after?

If so, where they investigating the crash or one of the first responders?
