Comment: It's safe to say that the FBI had a file open on Hastings long before the day of his 'crash'. So his email to colleagues and friends shortly before his death suggests that 'the FBI', or whoever it was, was actually hounding him towards his death, not just 'investigating' him.

Good piece.
And I believe there are brave and honest people left. Fighting mad, brave and honest, daring people.
And it may even be that their number is growing.
This is good news in a number of ways.
But is also does include the certainty of a lot of violent deaths (and other bad news).
And it may even be we are to that point (very close), where surveillance and control technology (and the psychosis implied therein) make death the best IMMEDIATE (or very near term) option, if one wishes to continue one's path toward freedom and away from the forces that generate mental and moral breakdown. Are torture and major psyops victims responsible anymore, for 'decisions' they make? Are they responsible for their altered, diminished and generally alarming mental states?
Whatever we choose, it will not be easy.
Winston Smith was not kidding around.

It appears either someone was filming the 'snuff' or this surveillance camera had a mind of its own.

Cyber-Hijacked
The alphabet agencies have been eliminating people for years. To me the real story here is the method used.
“Now even a former counter-terrorism czar is admitting Hastings' car may have been cyber-hijacked.”
The following is from Jim Stone.
“I'd like to make a few things perfectly clear about remote control of modern cars.”
“ANY car with Onstar, and all other cars manufactured after 2004 can be hijacked, but some are going to be safer than others.”
“How they disable the brakes - Only antilock brakes can be disabled. An antilock brake system looks for wheels that are not spinning when the brake is applied, and when it senses a wheel that is not spinning it releases the brake. To hack an antilock brake system and cause it to not allow a driver to brake, all you have to do is fool it into believing none of the wheels are spinning. The brakes will not engage.”
“How to keep the car running with the key out - This is possible only with cars that use electronic keys. Since the ignition switch activates when it senses the correct electrical characteristics or code in the key, all you have to do is fool the ignition control module into believing the correct conditions are met. There is no mechanical disconnect with an electronic key.”
“How to keep the car in gear when the driver takes it out of gear -This is possible only with electronically controlled transmissions. Nowadays, all automatic transmissions are electronically controlled. If the transmission is fooled into believing it is supposed to be engaged, it won't matter where you put the selector. The solution then is (some of the time) a manual transmission, which you can take out of gear yourself and just let the engine rev until it blows, but even a few manual transmissions have electronic control now that would make that impossible. Then there is always the clutch with a manual, which you could also push, provided there is a real cable going to that clutch and not just an electronic control.”
“How to rev the engine to max when the driver is not pushing the gas - This is a no brainer, electronic throttle control is now as old as the hills, and common since 1980. Fool the throttle position sensor into believing it is wide open, and the manifold pressure sensor into believing the car is at 20,000 feet elevation. Everything will open right up and it's max throttle until the crash.”
“A team of hackers from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Washington conducted a study in 2010 which concluded that all cars equipped with antilock brakes sold in the U.S. can be hacked via remote control and have their brakes entirely disabled with the car in motion, throttle revved, and remain fully operational with the key removed and the car in park with all driver input entirely ignored. That this was done all the way back in 2010 only goes to show that this has been possible for a long time.”
