Michael Hastings’s notoriety was the piece he did for Rolling Stonethat “took down” General McChrystal. What people don’t know is that Michael Hastings was NOT simply a journalist, he was PART of the Intelligence Community.
New York Magazine described Hastings’s piece on McChrystal as:
It was for Rolling Stone, where Hastings had a contract, that he’d written “The Runaway General,” the 2010 article that resulted in the cashiering of General Stanley McChrystal, America’s commander in Afghanistan, and made his name as a journalist. Mark Leibovich, in this summer’s inside-the-Beltway big read, This Town, describes Hastings’s McChrystal piece as “the most consequential” journalism of 2010 and possibly Obama’s entire first term.
incredible to see the MSM (Mainstream Media) attacking Michael Hastings for his reporting. It’s as if he broke some secret code and journalists of the seventh floor were clearly upset.
Through a common contact, Hastings and I connected. I told him we would be meeting during a conference in New Orleans in 2013, where my source would provide him with hard copy documents that would let him see the insane “agreements” made with vendors / private companies that John Brennan had brokered. Brennan was ultimately outsourcing our intelligence to other nations.
It’s important to note that most of these agreements had been done by Brennan when he was NOT CIA Director and simply advising President Barack Hussein Obama.
Why would we be renting Emergency Management COMMS real estate on CHINESE SATELLITES? Saudi Satellites? In other words, during an emergency situation our communications would be reliant on enemy satellites giving discretion to our communications and trusting they won’t be listening.
I met Hastings in Portland, Oregon in the Spring of 2013, where we both expressed concerns about Brennan being confirmed by the Senate. It was at that point that “leaks” to MSM and the Senate about Brennan spying on the Senate and Congress began. The leaks were launched a week after he swore in – Hastings did that.
In May of 2013, Hastings was told by a source at CGI (a contracting company) that he was under FBI investigation and that they were contracted to provide material support … for their “unmasking” and surveillance on behalf of the Justice Department. The FBI denied an open investigation. Below is the document that shows the investigation had been opened a YEAR before his death.
It’s important to realize that the investigation on Hastings was open and still “pending” a case number when John Owen Brennan was confirmed as CIA Director on March 8, 2013. Why would the new CIA Director get involved in an investigation that has been open for nearly a year and suggest the FBI appoint Peter Strzok to it?
Peter Strzok was assigned to the open case on Michael Hastings within a week of John Owen Brennan taking office. Strzok, a trusted CIA asset that worked within the FBI ranks, was what is called a “cleaner”. He was a fixer for the agency and was able to penetrate ranks and investigations that were of “high importance” to exclude certain politicians or government officials from scrutiny. Sometimes this division is coined HVIG (High Value Interrogation Group) – the names change all the time.
It is a well established fact that Michael Hastings was working on a story about John Owen Brennan. His wife Elise said he was working on a profile of CIA director John Brennan at the time of his death.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Barack Hussein Obama called the Communist Chinese tools he deployed against the people “necessary to fight terrorism.” One of these tools was used against the Associated Press (AP). This should serve as a reminder that the MSM shamelessly lies by depicting the Obama Administration as a #SCANDLELESS one. The AP spying scandal that BRENNAN was a part of (even when he WAS NOT CIA Director) was huge. Eric Holder was caught in the middle of it, relying on Strzok to remedy it.
Matt Farwell, who writes for the failing NY Times, had claimed that Michael Hastings was working on a piece for Rolling Stone, specifically a profile of CIA director Brennan and said that he “hadn’t unearthed anything shocking”.
When I read that statement in the New Yorker I realized that Farwell may be the anchor Strzok had to Hastings. Certain people are anchors or plants close to targets in order to harvest information, provide or plant purposeful disinformation and allow immediate access to them and their possessions. Most of them pose as journalists or are aspiring ones that are awarded such titles and jobs after completion of successful operations.
Is Strzok a “hit man”? Seems that he has been in the middle of all these controversial investigations. Is he the ONLY agent they have, or is he the ONLY agent put on all these operations to watch, report, and mitigate?

Compare Michael Hastings' tone and body language on interview Jan 12, 2012 vs May 25, 2013 (less than a month before he died).
2012 Michael Hastings: "Obama has tripled the conflict in Afghanistan" https://hooktube.com/watch?v=ryklDHTZzyw at 9:13 subject turns to the state of the MSM. (Seems to me that's a big part of the story that Hastings missed/or underestimated.)
2013 Michael Hastings Rips Obama Drone Speech https://hooktube.com/watch?v=FcE2dxa5ZKc (you can jump in at 3:00 for body language at the beginning as Kiron Skinner talks),
Was there clown laughter in the background right when the host said 3:12 "...where CIA is involved more in espionage--" laughter? "--than drone attacks and all of this.." Very odd when you think about it.
Hastings starts talking at 5:44
at 7:03 Hastings says "...he, (Obama) enshrines targeted assassination.."
"...he enshrines killing people and spying on journalists as the two tenets of his national security state.."
A few days prior (May 22, 2013) it was reported that four Americans had died as a result of Obama drone strike program. NYT ran a piece Obama, in a Shift, to Limit Targets of Drone Strikes

On HuffPo The link to the video from May 25, 2013 is gone but the link to Obama's speech transcript still works just fine.
