Why Was the FBI Investigating Michael Hastings’ Reporting on Bowe Bergdahl in 2012?
Lots of dot's connected here, if we're really paying attention. The most damning info comes from noticing the sequence of events and how the prisoner swap was carried out.

Could this be the smoking gun that unravels all of the other lies from this administration up to this point? Clear indications of planning this event well in advance for political reasons, not unlike Benghazi (election year also).

First, there's this article, which discusses Michael Hastings' account of the Bergdahl situation, but fails to go into the highly suspicious circumstances surrounding his death only a year later, at least directly.

But then, we travel back in time to 2012, from the Rolling Stone article Hastings wrote on Bergdahl...



America's Last Prisoner of War
Three years ago, a 23-year-old soldier walked off his base in Afghanistan and into the hands of the Taliban. Now he’s a crucial pawn in negotiations to end the war. Will the Pentagon leave a man behind?

By Michael Hastings

...

Bowe's own tour of duty in Afghanistan mirrored the larger American experience in the war – marked by tragedy, confusion, misplaced idealism, deluded thinking and, perhaps, a moment of insanity. And it is with Bowe that the war will likely come to an end. On May 1st, in a surprise visit to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, President Obama announced that the United States will now pursue "a negotiated peace" with the Taliban. That peace is likely to include a prisoner swap – or a "confidence-building measure," as U.S. officials working on the negotiations call it – that could finally end the longest war in America's history. Bowe is the one prisoner the Taliban have to trade. "It could be a huge win if Obama could bring him home," says a senior administration official familiar with the negotiations. "Especially in an election year, if it's handled properly."

...





REMEMBER, THE EXCERPT ABOVE IS FROM 2012. THEY HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS, AND FORESHADOWING IT ALL ALONG, LIKE ALL OF THEIR OTHER POLITICAL MOVES. OBAMA HAS NEVER ONCE ACTED AS IF HE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE TROOPS, AND THE ONE TROOP HE PARADES BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE SHORTLY AFTER MEMORIAL DAY (IN EXCHANGE FOR 5 SENIOR TALIBAN MEMBERS FROM GITMO) IS CHARACTERIZED BY MANY AS A TRAITOR, AND WHO ALLEGEDLY EVEN DECLARED JIHAD.


Oh, and like in the article above, guess when else Obama made a "surprise visit" to Afghanistan? LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE THE PRISONER EXCHANGE, that's when. So not only is this administration declaring returning veterans, Tea Party, etc terrorists, OBAMA WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH CONGRESS, YET WILL NEGOTIATE WITH THE TALIBAN IN PERSON? He even snubbed the Afghan President Karzai's offer to meet during his visit.

So this administration is openly arming Al Qaeda in Syria and elsewhere, releasing 5 of the highest ranking members of the Taliban from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for a deserter who has allegedly declared jihad, is declaring the Tea Party and returning veterans to be terrorists, and NOT A SINGLE FUCKING ELECTED SERVANT HAS BEEN ARRESTED, IMPEACHED, OR REMOVED FROM OFFICE BY OTHER MEANS? HOW MUCH MORE CLEAR CAN THEY MAKE IT THAT WE ARE THEIR ENEMY??

[link to www.latimes.com]

Though the original task force, which was little known, focused mainly on right-wing zealots, Holder’s version is aimed at U.S. citizens or visitors radicalized via the Internet. Holder said the government will continue to fight terrorists abroad.

“But we also must concern ourselves with a different type of threat. We face an escalating danger from self-radicalized individuals within our own borders,” he said.

...

Now -- as the nature of the threat we face evolves to include the possibility of individual radicalization via the Internet -- it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home,” Holder said.





WHAT DID HASTINGS KNOW, NOT ONLY AS IT RELATES TO BERGDAHL, BUT IN GENERAL? WHAT OTHER STORIES WAS HE WORKING ON THAT ARE NOT KNOWN?

For him to have covered this story among others, and then die a very suspicious death a year later makes him very relevant to the unfolding Bergdahl fiasco currently underway in my opinion.

UNITED States of America - It can now be reported that the Joint U.S.-French Intelligence Team operating on American soil, along with elements of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have 'smoking gun' evidence that Guantanamo Bay outpost enabled by year 2000 illegal White House occupant NAZI Paperclip George W. BushFRAUD, was created as a "parking lot" for Saudi and Israeli Mossad assets and intelligence agents who are NOT terrorists but were scripted "crisis actors" who were used by the Bush-Cheney year 2000 NAZI junta to script lifelong U.S. CIA and NSA employee Osama bin Laden aka Tim Osman as NAZI BushFRAUD's 9/11 patsy.

TREASONOUS CRIMINAL COHORTS

CIA employee Tim Osman aka 9/11 patsy Osama bin Laden

Note: In late 1999 then Vice President now year 2000 duly elected , non-inaugurated, natural born President Albert Gore Jr. recommended to then President William Jefferson Clinton that Tim Osman was some what of a national security risk involving infiltration of U.S. intelligence agencies on behalf of none other than the NAZI Paperclip Bush Family.

Gore told Clinton that Tim Osman needed to be assassinated immediatelyand Clinton vetoed it saying that bin Laden aka Tim Osman was on a hunting party with the Saudi Royal Family and had to be left alone.

The alleged U.S. prisoner of war exchange done by the Obama Administration and the Taliban is a massive PsyOp being once again ordered by the Bush-Cheney-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate.

President Obama is currently being blackmailed by the NAZI Bush Crime Family to remove 9/11 witnesses from Guantanamo Bay and at the same time continue to empower this PHONY "war on terror" as to enable the presidential candidacies of NAZI Paperclip former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush and former U.S. Secretary of State Bush Crime Family financial Mena, Arkansas partner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Reference: Then U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in September of 2001 was the major Democratic Party advocate to ramrod NAZI George W. BushFRAUD's UN-Constitutional Patriot Act aka Hitler's NAZI German "Enabling Act" down the throat of the U.S. Congress, which leaves the American People to this day without a Constitution or a Bill of Rights.

P.S. At this hour a European Central Bank (ECB), U.S. Federal Reserve and Central Bank of Japan massive crooked bank derivative ponzi scheme is taking place based on the continued manipulation of the worldwide LIBOR rate by none other than the London LIFFE Exchange and the Bank of England.

Seems the invasion of Afghanistan has been primarily about opium, no? What a noble cause, lol.

15 Saudis are accused of flying planes into buildings, and Afghanistan gets invaded while Saudi keeps pimping oil and oil dependent economies. Seems logical.

I had seen the bolded info above, though not sure if I'd seen it in a mainstream source. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Why Was the FBI Investigating Michael Hastings’ Reporting on Bowe Bergdahl in 2012?
I must have missed the article by Hastings on this subject it seems to be quite interesting that it generated interest by the agency that specifically mentions Hastings and the article. Seems to be that there is more and more motive in relation to the death of Hastings. But I'm sure there will be something else that will justify or spin the topic.

As far as Bergdahl, he's a traitor to the country but I'm still trying to figure out why our government would trade 5 terrorists in Gitmo for a traitor... Was he infiltrating a group in Afghanistan and had his cover blown when the POTUS blew the cover of the head of the agency in that region? It seems interesting how this happened one week after the cover was blown by the POTUS...

The problem is... when we want the truth, the administration spins another psy-op to the public where no truth is told. It is truly disgusting the amount of good people that have been killed in the last few years to hide the lies of certain organizations that are clearly doing immoral acts and acts that are not necessarily in the best interest of the greater good of the whole. Now, I understand we need to do things when we are war in order to defeat the enemy, but I am starting to see more and more evidence that the compass is broken.

Lies, Lies, Lies....

The above Rolling Stone article is a great read and gives really good background on Bergdahl and his family and why he reacted as he did when he was in Afghanistan. Basically the recruiters lied to him about what he would be doing in Afghanistan and Bowe was stubborn, raised to be an ethical independent thinker by his family. He and his family were very naive about the military, in my opinion. They are as much at fault as Bowe for how he came to be so naive.

If getting this soldier back was so damned important why didn't they do it before last election? What coup that would have been, right? No, 5 bad guys for a traitor? An election killer...

This also demonstrates how little concern he has for fellow democraps pulling a stunt like this while they are hanging by a thread as it is before an election? Then again I don't for one moment believe that Dem leaders didn't know...Obama claims, and they claim they didn't know for plausible deniability and mid-term elections...

Re: Why Was the FBI Investigating Michael Hastings’ Reporting on Bowe Bergdahl in 2012?
Michael Hastings was/is the son of a wealthy family in Los Angeles. The dad was a doctor and a medical researcher that was a big decision maker for what medical treatments would be accepted by not only LA but also the goings on of the Reagan administration that started in Sacramento California. That's how they got the money.

I think someone got to Hastings, much like the other guys who went crazy. The investigating group is sometimes looking for a window of opportunity for sabotage.

Jason Holmes was the son of a wealthy family in Simi Valley, a gifted neurosurgeon in training, and a mad scientist. An alternative theory is he got a shot of drugs, got hypnotized to hurt others, got caught in a daze, the rest is in court somewhere.

Same thing, Hastings got intoxicated, one way or another, sped through to self-destruction.

So who is doing this to a neurosurgeon in training and a son of a very intelligent medical doctor in Los Angeles County California? What do their dads have in common that they both have mysterious deaths?

Bergdahl is a red herring to try to focus on Bergdahl. The bigger question is, why is it that people who get investigated by the FBI die?

Re: Why Was the FBI Investigating Michael Hastings’ Reporting on Bowe Bergdahl in 2012?
Michael Hastings had scheduled an interview with Barrett Brown, who had ties with the group Hactavist/Anonymous. With the current status of Brown, Assange , Wikileaks, and Manning there is a lingering question if Hastings death may have been related to this. Hastings was a member of ProjectPM, although some research suggests it might have been more so on paper.

I think it would have been awesome to read an article of Brown and Endgame(software the govt sold to be used internally against US companies) by Hastings and I wonder what the fallout and follow up by Hastings would have been. Sometimes if you simply change your perspective by 180 degrees you get a completely different picture.

I remember the potus speech on terrorism, calling cyber-terrorism our new terrorist issue, He put together a steering committee. One of the members just happened to be Malak Nidal Hassan, the military Ft. Hood shooter, on Nov 5th, Guy Fawkes Day,( V for Vendetta. Later this would symbolize hacktavists/group Anonymous) I can't make these synchronicities up.

This group makes many good points, privacy seems to be only for the 1% who can afford it. Members of the Hacktivists group who are and have been prosecuted are receiving more time than murderers or pedophiles. As an example, some of the group took a stand against a moral ourtage no one seemed to want to charge, the OH Stebenville rapists.

I do believe what Elise Jordon, Hastings wife stated in the Piers Morgan interview after his death, that Michael always had at least 5 hot stories going on. She also stated that Michael didn't want to go after the "grunt in the field," and that there was "a huge disconnect between the ground forces and policy makers", which really makes me RETHINK the Bowe Bergdahl report. Jordon also stated his support of Wikileaks disclosures (Barrett Brown...?)

In summary, after reading sources, I believe Michael Hastings had much integrity. I can see that he may have had his own human issues as we all do. He may have had PTSD from the horrific death of his first love in Baghdad, or a disposition towards ADD with its pros and cons. In the end, he was defending and fighting our war to be set free. A war against our ongoing and ever increasing entrapment in our governments surveilance and even an openly stated domestic hit list.
