Award-winning journalist Michael Hastings told his neighbor that he was afraid to drive his Mercedes because he believed it had been tampered with, according to a LA Weekly report.
Jordanna Thigpen, a neighbor who had grown close to Hastings, claims he knocked on her door at around midnight one night and asked to borrow her Volvo because he was scared to drive his own vehicle.
He was scared, and he wanted to leave town, she told LA Weekly. She didnt lend Hastings her car because it was in need of repairs.
The next morning, June 18, at roughly 11:15 a.m., Thigpens landlord informed her that Hastings had died in an early morning car crash and his Mercedes had exploded in a ball of fire. She said she burst into tears.

That could be paranoia and/ or a psychotic episode caused by meth use.

It’s the Blaze, which is better than Debka by a little bit.

They cremated his body —how do we know it was really HIM, in there?
I have to allow it probably was, but WHY did they leap ahead with the cremation, per SEAL protocol?
Gov’t surveillance CREATES it’s own cover —the worried surveillance subject is later derided as having “acted paranoid” right before their death.

“.....Kam Kuwata.”
Exactly.
Hastings got the ‘new and improved’ Trinity Church gay-choir treatment.
Obamatollah cannot kill everybody.
The Regime’s seams are showing.

Ssshh! This isn’t the place for rational explanations.
To: gaijin
Don’t cross MOSLEM CONVERT John Brennan.
Obamatollah put him in charge of CIA for a reason.

The blaze is the second most viewed news site on the web. The television news is outstanding. Do you read the blaze? The news director has 30 years in the business , NBC , CNN, Fox and the talent hired is some of the best on the planet. Sorry if you don’t want to believe what they write that’s up to you but comparing them to Debka is ridiculous.

There’s NOTHING SUSPICIOUS about a journalist writing a story about CIA Director (and MOSLEM CONVERT) John Brennan, then telling a neighbor his car’s been tampered with, then dying in a fireball 4 hours later.
Happens to me all the time!
Get a life, folks!
Nothing to see here!
I’m applying for my 3rd ObamaPhone... Might put my comment on the application to expedite things.

Supports my theory he was panicked to the point of "getting out of town immediately."
Where was he going at 4:30am in LA?
Let's ask the 2 cops who got ambushed in the driveway of their police station on the SAME STREET, at the EXACT SAME TIME of night, a week later..... within blocks ahead of the Hastings crash.
Perhaps he called the police in a panic (meth-induced or otherwise) and got some detective on duty at 4am.... at Wilshire Community police station (on my map), and thats why he was driving Southbound directly toward it.
If you're convinced you're "about to be killed" you'd probably figure "Rush to the police station b/c the local cops aren't going to stand there and just watch while I get murdered."
NOTE: A week later, outside THAT SAME police station, at almost the SAME EXACT TIME (4am), a gunman walks up behind an unmarked police car returning to the police station garage..... and opens fire, grazing/hitting the 2 officers inside the car.
Perhaps one (or both) cops inside that car (at 4am) were on-shift the prior week at the same time, 4am.
Perhaps they saw something before/during/after the accident.
Perhaps they know a call came in from Hastings.
Perhaps they even spoke to him.
Personally, I think he was heading toward LAX to catch an early 6/7am flight out of town.
Remember, he was in a panic, sending emails about going off the radar, and hes being investigated by the FBI.
Coincidences are stacking up. WHO ambushes policemen at 4am in the DRIVEWAY of a police station, unless they urgently need to shut those cops up?
So, KEY QUESTION: Where the hell was he driving FROM/TO at 4:30AM in Los Angeles?
#1 LAX.
#2 POLICE STATION (Wilshire Community Station).
My guess is LAX to catch early 6-7am flight out of town (probably to Europe since he spoke w/Wikileaks the prior day).
Here's the map/theory I put together.
