What color was Michael Hasting's car?

Yeah, I heard that. Good cover story. I mean if you are there, you gotta provide a persuasive reason...right??

If anything murdered Hastings, it was being involved in the investigations that revealed this NOT a car crash.

THIS is what got Michael Hastings assassinated

“If you care that the surveillance state is expanding in capabilities and intent without being effectively opposed by the population of the West, you can assist in making this an actionable resource for journalists, activists, and other interested parties,” the Project PM wiki states. “Consider doing a bit of research on the companies and government agencies listed on this wiki, or even adding new topic for investigation by our participants.”

Barrett Brown, the founder of the initiative, was arrested by the FBI and faces up to 105 years in prison. Brown is described as the “brain trust” for the hacktivist group Anonymous. Two indictments against Brown are for allegedly “threatening of an FBI officer in a YouTube video and the concealing of evidence,” writes Patrick McGuire for Vice.com, and “do not seem worthy of such a harsh sentence, considering a man in Houston recieved only 42 months for threatening to blow up an FBI building, and a former dentist got 18 months for threatening to kill an FBI agent.

The third, however, pertains to Barrett Brown’s pasting of a link in an Anonymous IRC chat room to a document full of credit card numbers and their authentication codes that was stolen from the security company Stratfor, in the midst of a hack that released over five million internal emails. Those emails were published to Wikileaks.” Brown’s Stratfor hack revealed the inner workings of Trapwire software. It purportedly acquires video from far-flung surveillance cameras located in stores, casinos and other businesses around the country and uses sophisticated facial recognition software to identify people of interest captured by ubiquitous cameras numbering in the millions.

Trapwire software is a significant breakthrough for the surveillance state. It was uncovered by security researcher Justin Ferguson. He delved into the massive pile of emails hacked by Brown from Stratfor – the Austin-based firm regarded as a shadow CIA – on Christmas of 2011. In response to Ferguson’s discovery and the Trapwire revelation, Wikileaks was hit with a large scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Brown discovered the software produced by Trapwire is owned by Cubic, a San Diego company acquired by Abraxas Corporation. Barrett also uncovered tax returns calling into question Cubic’s denial that it is not affiliated with Trapwire and the software.

Jeez, can nobody online now answer that simple question within 15+ minutes?

I'll ask it again in a different way:

What color was Michael's car that burned on Highland Avenue?
(Hint: you could see bits of the paint color between the flames).

What was the color of the car speeding by on Santa Monica Bvd, captured on video-cam?

Why do you even care about Michael Hastings or the colour of his car?

double post.

They look different because of the way it sits. Going by the bell housing and drive line yes they match. The black drive line looks shiny in the second photo because it was wet and reflecting light. Infact you can see the transmission cover off and fluid all over. Red curb in both pictures.

I wonder - without arguing, do you think the engine/transmission could have been blown out of the car by the force of an explosive device such as a bomb?

I imagine a bomb would be more destructive, but yes it could blow car to bits. The most heavy parts will stay partially intact. That motor doesn't look like a bomb blasted it out. It looks as though the car was twisted and mangled enough for it to fall out. This guy smashed into a stationary base of a tree at 70-100 mph at that speed metal is malleable.

The car appeared to be white. The one that was burning. I didn't catch the color of the car that sped by. Can you give me a hint? Was it a primary color??

That's a very dumb question, Archie.
Figure it out for yourself, now that I enlarged the question.

yea i have read jessie venturas analysis of the evidence in JFK . TIME magazine really helped screw the public over as well. one of the first cases i noticed of actually physically altering history in print like in 1984. anyone who remembers reading think on the fact that alterations to the history were as simple adding or removing a word, sentence, name or image. it is exactly what happened with TIME magazine . of course today is a wet dream of utopia come true for the authoritarian rulers of that novel. i have also now seen this editing myself in the form of edit and ommissions in the digital scans of very old reference and history books up to a century old whose physical copies only exist in a handgul of institutions around the world. i have for instance a book on the great second war which as published the following year of 46 after allied liberation. lets just say some of the biggest "facts" that i was taught in school do not fit in context with some of material which was published in this book the year after liberation. i will address this more in another thread. the real victor of WW2 was the Prince of Lies....

Still happens. The couple that used to live next door to me actually died in a similar manner as Hastings. Middle of the night, car went off the road at a high speed and straight into an apartment complex. If the impact didn't kill them, the fire did. Never did find out why the accident happened but, based on the lack of skid marks (implying at attempt to stop) and the high rate of speed, they figured that the husband had passed out at the wheel and that his wife was still awake. Wrecks can turn fiery, especially at a high rate of speed. I didn't see any skid marks coming up to the crash and that reminded me of my neighbor's demise. Definitely implies that Hastings was unconscious either from fatigue or ??.

Okay, you guys are either really vacuous or shills. I don't really care. Enjoy your servitude.

It's amazing people like Michael Hastings and Edward Snowden actually cared enough about people like you to put their asses on the line to try to free you from government lies and all you can do is sh*it on that with threads like this.

If it were me, I'd let you burn.

archie fear not because the Beast (the machine/the system) is currently in defense mode due to its tentacles of influence having been beaten back from some very tactically important locations in the world. what is happenng in Brazill will arrive in North America in under 3 years time. and it has already begun to escalate in Brazil. eventually the lies become so excessive and heavy, it crushes the system under it. the only reason a black man became President was a tactical move by the elite players who give him his orders. they realize the game is almost over and setting him up the way they have is simply a way for them to use very divisive propoganda to maintain control on the war for your mind. it wont matter they cannot stop what is coming , so most of them jumped ship a few year agos. its why everything has become less stable, there are less orders coming from the former top and the ambitions of the subordinates are taking over.

awsum.

but just to throw you a bone:

I had never heard of “Boston Brakes” until two days ago.

I had been on the Kevin Barrett radio show yesterday, discussing, among other things, the endless ways to gain control of an aircraft and plow it into a building, something I had been briefed on by my Air Force buddies. There are a dozen ways to gain control of a plane, in fact, the more “fly by wire” a plane is, the more ways to control it remotely.

Now I am told the same thing works for cars, not exactly the same but close enough. Nothing particularly clever is required, especially when the plane is capable of landing itself or, with a bit of hacking, making an inconvenient stop in the side of a building.

I am told this game started with the CIA back in Boston, not with planes but cars. Car wrecks were mechanically staged using the “Boston Brakes” method, not always fatal but always a good way of communicating to someone your displeasure. Sending a college age daughter into a light pole, reporting her speedometer was stuck at 200 mph and fudging her blood test to show she was “double drunk” has been done countless times.

It isn’t just that crash that makes it “Boston Brakes” but the speedometer stuck at some outrageous speed and the blood acohol level, always from a sample that is mysteriously misplaced later. Oh, and I almost forgot, no skidmarks, something accident investigators only see at suicides or murder. Remember, always no skidmarks

It was either silver or white with a metallic top coat. Hard to tell in the red light video it flies past with all the street lights reflecting off of it and in the video from the scene it's on fire, which makes it kind of hard to see a color.

ETA: both cars are white with a metallic silver topcoat
Here's a screen grab of the car flying by looks more silverish due to the lighting, looked the same color in night photos but appears white in day photos. That's due to the silver metallic top coat showing more in the dark that it does in direct sunlight. And here's one after the fire was extinguished but still dark for the best comparison

In the pics of the crashed car, the rear end containing the gas tank is intact..plus the left rear tire is not burned.
now all cars require an automatic fuel pump shutoff when a shock is felt..plus the battery seems blasted in the front end. so the fire at the crash site seems unlikely to be explained by gasoline from the tank being pumped into the flames in the front, without intentional override of the pump circuits...
for what its worth.

I can understand a car being hit from the back where the gas tank is and exploding maybe. But he didn't hit the back part of his car at all did he?

Cars don't usually explode in flames without car bombs or Hollywood special effects teams. That's why we have the jaws of life to pry people from mangled vehicles, and helicopters racing them to trauma wards.

I guess Hollywood or a car bomb was responsible for a car exploding into flames on the interstate (I635) this very morning in Dallas. No word on whose car it was yet or why the govt wanted to kill them. Created a helluva traffic jam, which may have been part of the desired effect by the bomb.
