Wikileaks hints CIA may have had a role in the death of Michael Hastings

Software like OnStar knows where you are. That’s not all it would be able to do.

[Jane Long]

Excellent find / info ping!! Post #9.

Is this a joke or for real????

WikiLeaks‏Verified account @wikileaks More CIA hackers celebrated what they saw as the financial largesse of Obama towards them with "Make It Rain" gif

[9YearLurker]

I say you’re right.

[RummyChick]

Kim Dotcom‏Verified account @KimDotcom More CIA went from searching for zer0-days via code analysis to inserting CIA coders in major US tech companies to implement backdoors directly.

[9YearLurker]

But hearts aren’t always so easy to reach, and meanwhile they probably want to test and perfect this approach.

[Red Badger]

Considering who he was ‘investigating’ it is not only believable, but most likely.

If it had been a normal ‘accident’ caused by malfunction of the car’s computer systems, there would be others suffering the same fate. There have been none.

Witnesses saw the car emitting sparks and flames BEFORE the crash.

The engine was blown 50-60 YARDS AWAY FROM THE CRASH SCENE!
That takes a whole lot of ENERGY to move a huge ENGINE BLOCK that distance.................

[Darksheare]

And throwing on the hand brake would only slow it down for a few seconds until the engine overpowered the hand brake and made them emit sparks and flame.

[gulp]......brace yourself......have a shot......swallow hard....[gulp]......here it comes....

“Perhaps Frank Church was RIGHT after all!”

Damn, that hurt!!

I saw a comment surrounding the release of some 200 pedo’s on here the other day; something about having to give up the code to their trap to public court records which would in turn make their Tor exploit known in the process...

Kim Dotcom‏Verified account @KimDotcom More CIA has tools to remote control chips in cars, trucks, planes, medical devices and hospital tech with assassination potential. ----

kill you with your pacemaker?

I say it is possible, too.

Hastings was taken out.

wasn't Princess Diana's car a Mercedes Benz?

[Neidermeyer]

Mercedes uses a redundant can-bus computer system ,, I don’t know if the steering is electric but the throttle is and the brakes can be manipulated through the abs module... it is one of the most complex systems out there but to use it as a weapon you need an entry point.. bluetooth for the phone? but how to maintain the connection when the vehicle is moving? a pre-programmed kill mode .. full throttle and no brakes , no esp or traction control.. that only needs to be initiated perhaps...

yes - the e-brake is generally good for holding a car on a hill or gently stopping in an emergency. It would be inadequate against any decent sized engine at full throttle.

I was at the Ford dealer the other day, and noticed that the newest version of the Escape (I have a 2013) didn't seem to have an e-brake lever, but something that looked like a switch type thing on the center console. That would imply that even the e-brake might be fly-by-wire now.

Obama told friend who joined my team that he didn't want to end up like JFK. Gave CIA/NSA carte blanche. Obama is no leader @realDonaldTrump

[Vic S]

Church was right?

What about JFK? He wanted to break the CIA up into a thousand pieces and scatter it in the wind. And look what happened to him, shot in the head in public. If that’s not a deterrent to future Presidents I don’t know what would be.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Hastings was Breitbarted. So was Scalia.
