IMplosion?!

CowWithBeef ago

I wonder what it's like to think this wasn't an assassination. The government must look so awesome from there.

This is like bad TV.

How many times do people take their info to the grave? They're only ever at risk while they're the only one with the info.

Find out something, dump it wide.

As a journo you'd think they'd have a million and one decent contacts in a big list.

If it turns out bollocks, no one cares. Just add a 'work in progress' disclaimer.

Is this a human nature thing?

I see people perpetually portrayed in films/tv as too trusting or unable to comprehend an unravelling of events that end with them exposed to being killed.

Rabbit in headlights type reaction?

Get that data out.

What story was he onto?

Bill_Murrays_Sandals ago

I'd love to know. Maybe Pizzagate or something to do with John Podesta? Remember Andrew Breitbart could have been killed by exactly the same people who killed Hastings.

https://youtu.be/B7EMKgFmmyQ here is an interview of a guy that claimed his engine had holes drilled in to it. He didn't die because of the cold weather. He claims his car was tampered with because of what he knew about the Obama administration.

I saw an interview of a guy that claimed his car was tampered with because he knew what the Obama administration was up to. His car didn't explode because the temperature was too cold. Apparently there were holes drilled in to his engine.

Yo fuck John Brennan the director of the CIA. He needs to resign. Everyone start calling out that mother fucker.

That font for the email is so tiny. Do you happen to have a larger version?

NeedleStack ago

F :(

Thanks.

Also, his name was John Kennedy. I hope I live to see the day his killers are exposed.

Shouldn't have gone on FOX and said your next story reveals just who the CIA is, and exactly what they do. Drug running murders....murder people!

rhy ago

murderers. But you are totally correct.

JastheMace ago

Thank you, typing too fast.

I can't wait for some rando to figure out how this was done! No modern car will be safe :)

squidicuz ago

Yup..

Even before that, in the 90s you could plug into the Car Area Network (CAN) [where you plug in to get the codes for repair]. Then issue commands to brake, accelerate, reduce throttle, flood the engine, etc. When you press the gas pedal its not connected to a mechanical throttle linkage, it sends a packet of data across the car's unsecured network. Anything plugged into the CAN bus can issue commands that will be accepted. So, you could create a wireless controller that plugs into the diagnostic port and issues commands. Car Insurance companies even have things you plug in there and it records telemetry data and reports it via cellular signal. If that shit is two-way then you get a reduced rate, and hackers can control your car remotely even if it has no "carputer" smart car shit like today's newer cars (like the one in your vid).

FBI has warned automakers that it needs to implement security controls in their CAN, and that it's dangerous AF for them to be connecting shit to the internet while reading data out of the non-encrypted car network. "Oh look, I can start my car to warm it up in winter with my smart phone" good job moron, that means EVERYONE with an SDR and a laptop with Kali Linux can run that script too.

Cars started being succeptible to remote control in the mid to late 80's. Now that we have parallel parking (control of steering wheel), the system is complete. Can speed up, slow down, brake, turn, shift gears if automatic (all new cars are - hard to find one that's not, "manual" is still digital gear selection in most new cars, there's no physical linkage to transmission).

Real spooks drive 70's cars, or older. Distributor cap FTW.

Don't forget mechanically controlled diesel.

Witnesses described his car as having bursted into sparks and flames BEFORE the crash. CCTV (I don't think it's released) showed his car flying down the street on fire with sparks trailing behind. FBI was just revealed as having been able to hack and control a persons car... motherfuckers killed him

Edit: I said FBI but CIA is the correct one.

Pwning4Ever ago

I thought it was the CIA, not the FBI

rhy ago

The FBI showed the world it was possible. The CIA offed Hastings. These are contrary goals. I believe the CIA is the motherfuckers in this instance.

mrjdouble ago

Good catch, def CIA. And they can also remotely control full-sized planes. As long as they are allowed to exist, if you make waves and they want you, there is no place you can hide where they can't get at you:

Maybe this is when time traveling goes wrong.

aztlanshark ago

Wait, so did the car explode or implode?

revofire ago

Explode...

aztlanshark ago

According to the meme, it did both.

Tetromino ago

Obligatory Cardigan. Explode / Implode, We'll take care of it.

Almost good as a Trump coat, but not quite.

whitedogofpyr ago

Does anybody know if the conspiracy theory behind this related to the David Petraeus Scandal? I seem to remember some connection, but forgot the details.

doubleherpes ago

Hastings exposed Petraeus, but the CIA could have killed him because his next story was about them. The Petraeus thing was just what made Hastings a household name.
