NEW YORK – Before his death in a fiery car crash, Michael Hastings was preparing to publish a major investigative piece tied to the undercover agent who is suspected of sanitizing President Obama’s passport records prior to the 2008 presidential election.
The mystery has only deepened since the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office ruled that drugs in his system at the time of the June 18 crash, including amphetamines and marijuana, likely did not contribute to the crash.
Hastings, 33 years old at the time of his death, wrote for Gentleman’s Quarterly, Rolling Stone and Buzzfeed, reporting on national security issues.
His June 2010 article in Rolling Stone featuring remarks highly critical of the Obama administration made by Gen. Stanley McChrystal — then the commander of allied forces in Afghanistan — led to President Obama relieving McChrystal of command.

It appears that investigative journalism is quickly becoming a leading cause of death.
So are they going to release his expose’ or not?
Seems lime they are hinting they pretty much have the content of his tome.
So Hastings was going to expose the Obama passport breach (which resulted in at least one murder)? Three cheers for Rolling Stone!
McCrystal knows a few things. Among others, about Petraeus.
Wonder how long *he* is gonna last.
I have come to the conclusion that IF this was a hit by an intelligence agency it was probably done by hacking the Mercedes embedded systems using the bluetooth capabilities of both the car and Hastings smart phone.
I think it is pretty likely that the intel agencies have the source code for most cell and smart phones and also the source for the embedded systems in most cars.
If you have the source code for the ARM SOC in a phone and the baseband processor then the things you can do are amazing! Ditto for the source for the cars embedded processors.
If I was investigating the crash I would want a digital forensics lab to break the code protection on all the embedded chips in the car and the drivers phone so I could compare the dumps to the factory originals. If they do not match then there is a problem. Of course, if the devices continued to function after the crash the chip firmware may have been remotely re-written to cover all tracks.
I have NO inside knowledge of the facts here, just some suspicions based on my experience as an embedded system researcher.
BTW: If you have the source code for the ARM SOC in a phone and source for the baseband processor then you can do things like add the ability to operate out-of-band to the phone. This is useful for tracking someone because the cell frequencies are so overloaded with signals that individual devices cannot be monitored by satellite. But move out-of-band and the phone is now a remote controlled gizmo that allows all functions to be monitored from a sat... audio, video and all the rest. It is hard to discern such tampering since the firmware is very difficult to look at.
All I know is I would be totally shocked if intelligence agencies are not doing this kind of stuff. It’s what I’d be doing if I was tasked to track and control phones.
...beeber okay.

...not in shower.
WND LINK fails on iPad.
(Looking forward to inevitable personal attacks)
Make no mistake. These a-holes play for keeps.
Who else will get Breitbarted for exposing the truth?
I don’t see much difference between organized crime tactics, and our current administration. Sad.
Interesting that his wallet and medical marijuana card survived the inferno.
That’s the second person to die investigating Obama’s passport.
Wow. Very interesting possibilities indeed.
Jerome deserves the Vince Foster Award for good investigative reporting.
He lost his Indonesian citizenship which put him back to being a subject of the UK. He’s king of the USA.
How?? How did they survive the fire and crash??
Reminds me of all the investigative reporters who died looking into the Kennedy assassination.
