THIRD QUESTION:
Could that be happening in this footage?
If not, why not?
ANSWER: Yes
that is exactly what it would look like
as he hits the brakes
while racing through a red light,
with the accelerator stuck on
with the car beginning to move
REALLY FAST !!

FOURTH QUESTION:
Is there anything
in that piece of footage
which reminds you of
Mercedes Benz
Adaptive Brake Lights?
ANSWER: Yes.
The red lights
and the white lights
both appear to be on
First watch the following two promo videos.
Then rewatch the footage
of Michael's car
flying through the red light
at Santa Monica Boulevard
and Highland Avenue,
just about 4/10 of a mile
above the crash site.
Can you see them
(the adaptive brake lights)?
Are they on?
Is he trying to panic stop
as he is flying through that intersection
and is rapidly accelerating?
Is that a reasonable interpretation
of the footage,
given the facts which are shown
in this blog post?
If not, why not?
If so, the remarks about being all "paranoid"
are way off base,
irrelevant,
and very misleading.
Given who the paymasters
are suspected of being,
it is also very suspicious.
Kind of like
Rachel Maddow show
slandering heroic whistleblower
Edward Snowden
with any and every opportunity
(whose life REALLY IS
on the line,
unlike
"presstitute" show hosts).
So far as the REAL Young Turks go,
Snowden being quite a lot more Ataturk
than any of these others,
and that's for sure.

FIFTH QUESTION:
In light of the facts given above,
can you see anything in this raw footage
which you feel may shed some light
on the attempted accident reconstruction
of this scene?
Are the statements of witnesses
and physical evidence consistent
with another "run away" accelerator?
ANSWER: YES
Most of known facts
are perfectly consistent with this.
Yet we hear nothing
of anyone looking into that question
and no "reporters"
even thinking to ask the question.
OUCH !!
Or could it be consistent
with remote controlled operation?
Don't think that's possible?
Well,
we shall see,
oh yes,
we shall see ---

Original KTLA news report
I saw it late at night on evening
of 6-18
It was pulled down by 8 a.m.,
following morning.
Replaced by Cenk (the Young Turks),
(but this guy is definitely no Ataturk !!),
telling how Michael was paranoid
and chasing shadows.
Post I read last night
listed Buzzfeed,
where Cenk works,
as one of the fake internet news organizations
funded by megabucks foundations.
I am not yet sure what to make of all of this.
But will be keeping an eye on it.
"I am not a shill.
But I work in a shill mill" --- ??
Now, how exactly does that work,
do you suppose?

This LOUDLABS NEWS clip
was the next footage which I located
by running the query:
Michael Hastings accident investigation
on the night of 6-19,
after I was unable to find any news updates
on all of the so-called news networks
and news sites.
Lots of obituaries
and boo-hoos
by people who pretended to be his best friend,
while never having met him in real life,
or only having a very superficial relationship.
But no news ---
I was going nuts
from the apparent
"sleeping at the wheel"
on a story which really needed
REAL reporters on it,
and fast,
while the facts are
still much less
subject to manipulation.
That is how it was
when I was growing up.
But, this,
which passes for news,
is a disgrace!!
Oh, but ------ aaaahhhhhhhh -----
There is just nothing like raw footage.
I think I was drooling a lot
as I watched this footage,
because I was so riveted
to every single little detail
that I knew of nothing else
for the approximately six minutes
it took it to run.
Then, but of course,
INSTANT REPLAY !!
Voila !!
"Wow !!"
is all I can remember myself saying,
under my breath,
over and over again.
And where are
the real news reporters,
anyway?
NONE.
All MIA (missing in action)
or
KIA (killed in action).

CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion,
I only ask that you look at the facts,
and consider,
and then listen to those around you
who are either misinformed,
or have been purposely misinformed
and misled.
Then what do you think?
Only you need to know.
I am still searching.
And seeking "truth".
That is all I can do,
or say, at this time.
w/ incredibly abundant love,
