The Blaze ^ | 08-22-2013 | Jason Howerton

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 didn’t lend Hastings her car because it was in need of repairs.

The next morning, June 18, at roughly 11:15 a.m., Thigpen’s 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.”

JOHN BRENNAN CONVERTED TO ISLAM (while stationed in Saudi Arabia).

Today, he runs the CIA for Obamatollah.

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

THC in one’s blood and sudafed in one’s blood can cause the car you are drving to EXPLODE throwing the motor and transmission far away from the tree you lightly crash into...

So what it boils down to is that maybe the conspiracy theorists were partly correct about 9/11. The RAT CIA (as opposed to the Patriotic American CIA) was responsible for 9/11 and that al Qaeda is in the White House. This reminds me that Bubba was in AUSTRALIA, and NutGore was in AUSTRIA on 9/11.

Just a little conspiracy theory here.

Not to mention the fact that his wife has been acting quite strangely lately too...

She was very angry at first saying they will catch the people who did this to Michael, and now she is buying the accident line....

Almost as if she has either been drugged or threatened or brainwashed or in on it...

How do we know Hastings was IN THE CAR?

LA County Coroner CREMATED the body.

What if they just grabbed him (as some allege Bin Laden got grabbed)?

They could’ve put anybody in the car, then crashed it.

When high-profile Journalists mysteriously die in LA, WHY....
#1 Do they get CREMATED.
#2 Does the Coroner DROP DEAD from arsenic poisoning.
#3 Do cops get AMBUSHED outside their police station on the same street a week later during the same late-shift timeframe.

I read the coroner’s toxicology report, linked somehwere on the fr link above. Basically it said a trace of amphetimines that could be meth, but not enough to be a cause of the crash. Apparently he had a prescription for Adderall (sp?) so it could have been that. Not meth specific.

Nothing new. American author of “Nanjing Massacre” caused a roil in Japan that she feared right wing Japanese gov factions would hire Japanese organized crime to kill her. Last time her mother heard her was she was being followed and decided to buy a handgun for protection. Within a month she was found one gunshot to the head and her handgun was found near her. Ballistics match the bullet to the gun and the US police ruled suicide. Japanese press reported she suffered depression and killed herself. No suicide note was found.

Nice straw man there, Grace.

Hello, Central Casting? We need someone who looks like the stereotypical "capo."

Oh, nevermind, John Brennan has offered to play the part.

I’m not saying it caused the crash, I’m saying it could have caused paranoia and/ or a psychotic episode as it relates to him thinking his car had been tampered with.

If I “kill myself” tonight, I didn’t kill myself.

Even if they find my baseball bat nearby... I wasn’t practicing my swing when I hit myself in the head.

I met her in Japan, and knew about all the threats —they were pretty serious.

IIRC, she had a 1.5 year old (or even younger) at the time of her death.

A short while after Hastings died, another mysterious death occured. A many whose name escapes me, who was a computer expert, who had recently found that newer cars can be remotely controlled. IIRC he was a friend of Hastings. Wish I could remember the details. He was 30 or 35.

Odd...

She should have went to live with family in a rural area, a family with hunting guns and lots of plains around them.

If I decide to kill myself I can guarantee you whoever comes to help me will have a similar fate and my security system will have a very detailed account of all that occurred for someone to access and if they delete what is on site they will be surprised at what is being feed off site and shared with others HEE HEE
