Despite FBI assertions to the contrary, Michael Hastings was indeed being investigated by the agency. In an email sent hours before his death, Hastings said his "close friends and associates" were being harassed by the FBI and he was going to "go off the radar for a bit" meaning going into hiding, The Los Angeles Times reported the email last night(Friday)
"Perhaps if the authorities arrive" at the news site Buzzfeed, they "maybe wise to immediately request legal counsel before any conversations or interviews about our news-gathering practice or related journalism issues"-he wrote. The Editor of Buzzfeed Ben Smith added that Hastings told family and friends "he was concerned he was under investigation" for his journalism and Wikileaks confirmed that Hastings was being investigated by the FBI.
The Establishment corporate corrupt media is attempting to portray theories regarding the journalist's death as unfounded and irresponsible conspiracies. "Since Hasting's death early Tuesday, wild conspiracy theories have bloomed on the Internet, implying he was murdered by powerful forces wanting to silence him"- The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Thursday suggesting that Wikileaks is trying to exploit the journalist's death.
During a Reddit interview last year, Hastings said the military had repeatedly investigated him. "The Pentagon has launched three investigations into stories I've done over the past 18 months under the pretense of finding wrongdoing we were exposing. But the investigations were really about creating a Pentagon approved official document to criticize journalists they don't like"-He said
Hastings also talked about the government attempts at controlling the internet: "On one hand, we're already bombarded with so much government propaganda, it might be hard to notice"-he wrote. "But I think we'd definitely see a more direct targeting of certain communities within the U.S. with propaganda that was produced overseas. I think we'd also see is all sorts of disturbing online and internet initiatives produced by the government. The Pentagon is already trying to do this"
Prior to his death, Hastings was working on a story about Jill Kelly, the military socialite who had received messages from Paula Broadwell, the biographer who had the affair with former general and CIA director David Petraeus. Kelly believes that the FBI leaked her name on purpose to discredit her.
Earlier this month Buzzfeed posted the last article Hastings wrote about how the Democrats enjoy spying on Americans(it is linked in the article) exposing their total complete hypocrisy regarding civil liberties amongst other things
Hastings was known for according to Buzzfeed's Ben Smith for being "interested in writing stories someone didn't want him to write-often his subjects. He knew that there are certain truths that nobody has an interest in speaking, ones that will make you both your subjects and their enemies uncomfortable. They're stories that don't get told because nobody in power has much of an interest in telling them"
And there is a video report done by Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com founder and radio host Alex Jones breaking this story down and is well worth the watch and is located at the end of the article
