In an email sent hours before his death in a fiery single-car crash in Los Angeles Tuesday, award-winning journalist Michael Hastings reportedly wrote that he was working on a “big story” and was going to “go off the radar for a bit.”
The subject of the email was “FBI investigation re: NSA,” KTLA reports.
A copy of the email, sent on Monday, was reportedly provided to KTLA by Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs, who was a recipient of the email.
“Hey [redacted copy], the Feds are interviewing my ‘close friends and associates.’ Perhaps if authorities arrive ‘BuzzFeed GQ’, er HQ, may be wise to immediately request legal counsel before any conversations or interviews about our news-gathering practices or related journalism issues,” Hastings wrote in the email.

Post 38
You are reading about it now....
The regime is doing so much 24/7 so it's a safe bet that a new "big story" will erupt next week.
hoosiermama ~:” Making finding of autopsy and black box public would help eliminate a lot of doubt.”
The autopsy would show if there was any medication or psychotrophic drugs in his system.
The autopsy would be conducted by the County Coroner ( a county government agent)
The black box , ‘if’ it isn’t burned beyond recognition, would give much information about the operation of the car.
It can be read by law enforcement ( a county or State government agent).
Conjecture has it that the story was about David Paetraeus , former Director of the CIA ( read as “Spooks” ), and his reason for leaving the Agency .
When it comes to investigation of government intrigue and “spooks” , ... all things are possible /all bets are off !!
Another fiery auto death that was mysterious...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jan/10/wife-of-obama-aide-found-dead-in-burning-car-in-ho/
“A lobbyist for Progress Energy married to an aide to President Obama was found dead in a car fire at her home near the U.S. Capitol, fire authorities and the company said Monday.
The body of Ashley Turton, wife of the White House deputy director of legislative affairs Dan Turton, was discovered in a car that was burning in their garage, according to the D.C. Fire Department and the company.”
Somewhat consistent MOs.
An autopsy would also ID the body. He was planning on dropping out for awhile. Was he driving the car or someone else ?
Was he dead or passed out before the crash? Body fell on accelerator?
Add to the story that he said ,himself that: he “needed to go off the radar “
Add to the story the recent discovery that NSA can retrieve all texts ,cell pone , landline , etc., and that CIA and FBI use those services
Add to the mix that it involves the nations “spook “ Agency .. ya gotta wonder .. why doesn’t it makes sense ?
Was the text message a need for notification if something to him , to even distant acquaintances
Or was it a cry for assistance for intimate firends for ‘low profile’ ?
Remember : ‘Spooks’ live the lie , and continue to lie in order to live.
You said, “Most likely he was driving too fast, lost control, smashed into a tree. But a simple and logical explanation wont’ feed the conspiracy beast.”
Witnesses saw his engine explode upward right out of his car.(A brand new Mercedez) It doesn’t sound like just an accident.

On Wednesday night, the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks inserted itself into the story, publishing a message on Twitter that Hasting had contacted a lawyer for the organization hours before his car smashed into a tree on North Highland Avenue in Los Angeles.The message read: “Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him.”The crash is under investigation and there will be an official accident report after a toxicology test is completed in the coming weeks.
From the description on the Youtube.com video below: “One woman in the area described it sounding ‘like a bomb went off in the middle of the night’ & a man said ‘I couldn’t have written a scene like this in a movie’ with the engine flying 50-60 yards from the car.

My guess would be poison (trying to get to a hospital...lost control)... much simpler explanation than black helicopters and hacked steering wheels and accelerators. Also, very similar to Breitbart if you think about it.

Didn’t the coroner who did the autopsy on Breitbart also die mysteriously during the time he was investigating? Am I remembering that correctly ?
hoosiermama ~:” Body fell on accelerator? “
Sit behind the wheel of a parked car.
Then try to slump down so that your body, or leg maintains contact with the excellerator.
Possible ?.. yes , remotely possible , but highly unlikely .
I think the results of an accurate autopsey would be informative .
Also , checking his whereabouts immediately prior to the accident will be instructive, as would his credit card history and cell phone log .

ALEXANDRIA, VA – Retired General Stanley McChrystal has been questioned by authorities in the mysterious death of journalist Michael Hastings, sources confirmed Wednesday. Hastings was best known for a 2010 Rolling Stone article which led to McChrystal’s resignation and retirement.
According to investigators, McChrystal was hosting a dinner party at his Alexandria home when Hastings was killed in a car accident in Los Angeles. Attendees at the dinner included prominent defense contractors, professors, and think-tank analysts.

Could some of the drive to implement "Cash for Clunkers" have to do with getting as many "non-hackable" cars as possible off the roads?
The engine probably ripped loose in the first split-second; it seems to have traveled pretty much parallel with the road. Immediately after impact, momentum could have pivoted the body of the car part-way around the tree; the rear wheels were probably off the ground for a second or so.
More picture beside the one running the light. When did he start accelerating?
Remember that over 100 people died leading up to and during the 8 years the Clintons were in the White House.
Why does Glen Beck always promise these big stories and then silence. Maybe he should just announce the big story without any build up. They couldn’t get to him that way.
