Michael Hastings Dies in Suspicious Car 'Crash'.....

[Peter Lemkin]

Journalist Michael Hastings' body was reportedly cremated by Los Angeles authorities against his family's wishes, destroying possible evidence of his mysterious death in a car accident on June 18.

Hastings was killed when his Mercedes crashed into a tree at a high speed and exploded.
Only hours earlier, Hastings sent an email to friends at Buzzfeed.com stating that he was "onto a big story" and had "to go off the radar for a bit." He also warned his colleagues that they might be questioned about him by authorities.
"A close family friend did confirm that Michael's body was sent home in an urn, meaning he was cremated and it wasn't the request of the family … in fact the family wanted Michael's body to go home," said

It is not for the state, nor the deep state, to decide whether a body should be buried or cremated.

It is for the family.

This is an obscene act, and most likely a deep political act too.

True! I don't believe they asked the bin Laden family, either.
They obviously feel they can decide about life and death and disposition of the bodies re: those they label as 'terrorists'......and enemies of the Empire.
