CIA Director Brennan Confirmed as Reporter Michael Hastings Next Target
San Diego 6 ^ | 8/13/13 | Kimberly Dvorak

Posted on 08/13/2013 3:02:16 PM PDT by Nachum

This week Elise Jordan, wife of famed journalist Michael Hastings, who recently died under suspicious circumstances, corroborated this reporter's sources that CIA Director, John Brennan was Hastings next exposé project (CNN clip).

Last month a source provided San Diego 6 News with an alarming email hacked from super secret CIA contractor Stratfor’s President Fred Burton. The email (link here) was posted on WikiLeaks and alleged that then Obama counter-terrorism Czar Brennan, was in charge of the government's continued crackdown or witch-hunt on investigative journalists.

After providing the Stratfor email to the CIA for comment, the spymaster's spokesperson responded in lightning speed. Two emails were received; one acknowledging Hastings was working on a CIA story and the other said, “Without commenting on information disseminated by WikiLeaks, any suggestion that Director Brennan has ever attempted to infringe on constitutionally-protected press freedoms is offensive and baseless.”

The emails also prompted a phone from CIA media spokesman Todd Ebitz. He said they were saddened by Michael’s death and reiterated their position that they had a cordial working relationship with the investigative reporter.

On the other hand, Stratfor, specifically Fred Burton, remains nonresponsive.

Very disturbing. I feel like I’m living in Russia these days.

"Was speed a factor?"

Speed can always be a factor when you hack into the ECM and floor the accelerator.

Speed can always be a factor when you hack into the ECM and floor the accelerator.

Never buy a car that cannot be stopped by using the brakes. Which means, buy a car that doesn’t have so much power the engine can over power the brakes.

If you can floor the car then press on the brakes and stop the car and if a manual you can kill the engine or automatic you can cause it to stall and stop it is a good car, if the engine is too powerful you are at the mercy of the computer....

Of course the computer could use the ABS system to lock the brakes so you could be screwed anyways...

They are using a video recording that caught part of the accident to say he was driving approximately 35 mph. I don't see how his car burst into flames and the engine landed 100 feet away if he was only going 35 mph. Something else had to be involved to cause all that damage. Are we living in the soviet union? We have the commie bastard president.

Push in Clutch and engine wraps itself to death, but you avoid death!

With an automatic, just shut of the ignition. The steering will require some extra effort, but unless you are about to go around a curve, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. This practice experience was part of drivers education back when. Stopping just using the emergency brake was also practiced.

Any car you can shift into neutral solves this problem.
