REPORT: Conservative Media Mogul Andrew Breitbart Is Dead
Bus Insider ^ | 3/1/2012 | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 03/01/2012 6:32:17 AM PST by combat_boots

This is on Big Journalism.com, which is Andrew Breitbart's site: A report that the pugnacious founder of conservative websites BigJournalism.com and BigHollywood.com has passed away of natural causes at the age of 43.

Breitbart has done so many outrageous things to attract publicity, the first reaction of many people—including us—was to wonder whether this was yet another stunt. But others are beginning to confirm it.

This is not completely confirmed, although Ben Howe -- whose twitter bio states that he does podcasts and videos with Brietbart.com has tweeted out an independent confirmation.

Matt Drudge -- with whom Breitbart used to work -- is also linking to the story.

The Daily Caller has obtained confirmation as well.

So the usual standard of "Died of an apparent heart attck" does not apply here.

Arkancide.

Arkancide is amateur hour compared to the Chicago Way of "fixing" problems.

Beck’s off Fox. Buchannan’s off MSNBC. ESPN has dumped someone. Hank is off NFL. Over 80 Tea Party groups are being audited with ridiculous requirements and timelines, including disclosure of people’s personal information.

The Left is clearing the field.

Right after announcing at CPAC that he had big stuff on O’Bama and was going to release it before the election. Huummm!

Incredibly, I pubished this essay just yesterday.

“Gangster Government, And Sakharov’s Immunity” by Matthew Bracken

http://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/efadGG.htm

“Which brings me at last to Sakharov’s Immunity. Andrei Sakharov was a Soviet physicist and a primary inventor of the H-bomb. When he went off the Communist reservation in 1967 and became a dissident, the regime made his life miserable but they did not kill him, which was certainly in their power to do. His death under such circumstances would have proved the very points he was making about the illegitimate Soviet regime. They moved him far into Siberia to keep him isolated from intrepid foreign visitors, but they did not sprinkle radioactive Polonium dust on his salad. The introduction of that deadly form of Russian salad dressing was left for a later strongman, Vladimir Putin, formerly of the KGB.

“And there are many other means of assassination. The Soviet KGB could not assassinate Sakharov’s reputation, it was above reproach. But in the modern era, with the elite media serving as the Obama regime’s willing propaganda organ (birth control, anyone?) this is easier to arrange than ever. Popular media icons can be and have been driven off the airwaves by the full-court press of the Media Matters smear machine, in coordination with Valerie Jarrett at the Whitehouse War Room. And does anyone believe that the vicious smear campaign against black conservative Republican candidate Herman Caine was not orchestrated in the War Room of Gangster Government, Inc?

“Or the regime can commit an “Economic Waco,” the way it has recently done to the Rick and Terri Reese family of Deming, NM. Read about this case, and ponder this federal engine of total destruction being turned against your family. At the same time the secret federal “law enforcement” (sic) program of walking thousands of guns directly to Mexican cartel killers was official ATF policy, and nobody has even been charged with a crime.

“Obviously, taking a stand against Gangster Government Inc. and its media minions comes with some risk. They can drop a large building on you if they want to, just as they did to the Reese family in New Mexico, and grind you under their boot heels.

“So why do I stand and point my accusing finger at Leviathan? Perhaps those dissidents with a sufficiently high profile will earn some measure of Sakharov’s Immunity, at least for a while. Certainly keeping a low profile is no guarantee of protection from being railroaded and destroyed, as the gut-wrenching case of Rick and Terri Reese clearly demonstrates. Needless to say, the elite media has no interest in covering their physical and economic crucifixion by the federal government. Read about their case; it will make you sick to your stomach that this kind of official abuse can happen in the United States of America.”

(My first novel, Enemies Foreign And Domestic, is now in the Kindle Free Library, available for Kindle FreeLoad.)

He had a history of heart problems, and despite all the conspiracy theories, likely succumbed to a heart attack. Breitbart’s lifestyle (he only got 4 or less hours of sleep a day - the man was driven) was a major contributing factor.

I say this in all sincerity, Matt: You better watch your knot. I'd be checking my six at regular intervals and only eat out of cans for a while.

The chances that Breitbart just dropped dead at such a convenient time just doesn't pass the smell test -- the chances are millions to one. When you have the Chicago Mob working out of the White House, well, need we say more?

These soulless creatures will do anything they think they can get away with, including murder most foul. "The ends justfies the means" and all that rot.

Andrew Breitbart was Superman, fighting for truth, justice and the American way.

Natural causes=dinner with Bill Ayers.

Not to be a conspiracy nut, but didn’t Andrew claim to have video of the punk BO in college?

Vince Foster, meet Andy Breitbart.

Breitbart on Obama: I've Got Videos...That Nobody Has Seen

"ObamaCollegeGate on the way? Yesterday during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Andrew Breitbart gave the audience and C-SPAN viewers a preview of what's to come during the 2012 general election against Barack Obama. He said the mainstream media refused to vet Obama in 2008 and that he will not go unvetted in 2012. Breitbart says he has videos of Obama in college that nobody has seen. Considering he's the man who took down ACORN and Anthony Weiner, this could be good."

So the thought strikes me that Sheriff Arpaio in AZ is supposed to have a news conference today at 1pm Mountain Time about Barry’s eligibility and there may be ‘shock’ in the report...

Coincidence?

Who called 911? When? How long had he been under coronary stress? Is there a security video of his walking past something? Was he going to meet someone? Where was his family? What had he done yesterday? If he had heart problems, was he on medication? Which, if so? Had he had a stent or something?

We learned all this about Huston. Early on. Under the watch of TV cameras and plenty of reporters.
