responsible for ending the career and ruining the reputation of one of the most powerful men in the world. A year after Obama fired McChrystal, Hastings dies in a single car accident ending in
a violent explosion.

If there isn't an investigation by the LAPD or the FBI something is very wrong.

Two pages of a google search leftynyc Jun 2013 #44

We can't hear from Hastings Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #50

We already know that he claimed the FBI was investigating him. cali Jun 2013 #54

Wikileaks claims that's what he told them Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #56

all of a sudden a supporter of the cult of personality you said you despise just yesterday graham4anything Jun 2013 #52

Whether or not that is true... NaturalHigh Jun 2013 #6

Why should they follow him? RobertEarl Jun 2013 #14

So you don't believe the FBI when they say there was no investigation of Hastings? Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #19

So you don't believe Michael when he said there was? cali Jun 2013 #26

maybe he thought so, but he was just paranoid? treestar Jun 2013 #30

he is more credible to me because of his history of accurate reporting cali Jun 2013 #33

How do we know everything he ever said is accurate? treestar Jun 2013 #36

you do need to learn to read for comprehension. cali Jun 2013 #40

I suppose the AP is paranoid as well. zeeland Jun 2013 #77

The very same FBI which creates "terrorist plots" by getting people drunk and offering them Fire Walk With Me Jun 2013 #18

Yes, but if actually was under investigation... Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #21

The FBI and DHS spied on the Occupy Movement from day one and lied about having done so Fire Walk With Me Jun 2013 #22

I agree that the NYPD should get right on to investigating a Los Angeles car accident alcibiades_mystery Jun 2013 #37

They could have been investigating something he reported on or was involved in, but not okaawhatever Jun 2013 #31

Teachable moment: WAKE THE HELL UP FBI, US Govt. napoleon_in_rags Jun 2013 #35

What about the FBI investigating who fire-bombed his car? 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #46

It's pretty obvious which lamp post it was, no? (nt) Recursion Jun 2013 #49

Please see 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #59

"murderous treasonous truth behind Hastings's demise" geek tragedy Jun 2013 #61

This is not even about Obama anymore 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #69

Alex Jones claimed that Obama had Hastings killed. geek tragedy Jun 2013 #70

Yes. There's "zero factual support" for the claim 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #71

That would make very interesting reading in a fiction novel. nt geek tragedy Jun 2013 #72

Oh, you mean like the "Terrorist"-meme-run-amuck was fiction in 1985 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #73

Brazil was brilliant filmmaking nt geek tragedy Jun 2013 #74

Well I am. zeeland Jun 2013 #67

So, now his car was 'fire-bombed' geek tragedy Jun 2013 #63

I believe the FBI over some no name minor league media who is looking to make Conspiracy theories graham4anything Jun 2013 #51

Except he wasn't a no name minor league. not even close cali Jun 2013 #60

"We let the NSA take care of him." MotherPetrie Jun 2013 #55

The FBI would have served themselves better by just saying nothing. Rex Jun 2013 #62

They said something because people kept asking them about this Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #64

Yeah I guess they are dammed if the do and dammed if the don't. Rex Jun 2013 #68

But I read right here that he was basically killed by TPTB...nt SidDithers Jun 2013 #65

An Alex Jones fan upthread is saying his car was firebombed. nt geek tragedy Jun 2013 #66
