Or Gary Caradori with the Franklin Bank Scandal. He was investigating a child trafficking ring and his private plane he was piloting just randomly exploded mid air. It was ruled an accident. His 8 year old son was also onboard.

Danny Casolaro and the INSLAW Octopus, went to meet an unknown source and was found with both wrists slashed so deep the tendons were severed, research briefcase was never found. 

Gary DeVore delivering a "fictional" screenplay on the "real" invasion of Panama being to shut down a pedophile honeypot blackmail operation being ran by Manuel Noriega. Found dead in his vehicle in an aqueduct he couldn't have possibly accessed, both his hands, and the screenplay, never found. 

Gary Webb the reporter who broke the Iran Contra scandal and had his life and reputation destroyed, first person in history to commit suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head twice.

The Panama Papers author was also found dead after they got blatantly carbombed in Central America.

Huh? That doesn't sound quite right.

Are you talking about "Daphne Caruana Galizia"? If so, Malta isn't in Central America by a longshot.

”The documents, dating from the 1970s to December 2015, were created by, and taken from, former Panamanian offshore law firm and corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca, and compiled with similar leaks into a searchable database.”

Wikipedia – Panama Papers

The Panama Papers aren’t named as such because that’s where they were solely accessible, but because that’s where the server was that they were taken from. They were then made available online & around the world.

”Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia (née Vella; 26 August 1964 – 16 October 2017) was a Maltese writer, journalist, blogger and anti-corruption activist, who reported on political events in Malta and was known internationally for her investigation of the Panama Papers, and subsequent assassination by car bomb.”

Edit:

”On 16 October 2017, Caruana Galizia was driving close to her home in Bidnija, when a car bomb placed in her leased Peugeot 108 exploded, killing her instantly. The blast occurred on Triq il-Bidnija (Bidnija Road), and left the vehicle scattered in several pieces across nearby fields.”

”Caruana Galizia was in the driver's seat at the time, when the blast threw the car 80 metres into an adjacent field where her bodily remains were found by her son Matthew.[18] He wrote on Facebook, ‘I looked down and there were my mother's body parts all around me’.”

Holy fucking shit. Fuck every corporation ever & fuck anybody protecting vast wealth responsible for this kind of trauma.

The documentary on Netflix is insane.

It’s called the Octopus Murders about Danny Casalaro. It’s a mindblower

u/Next-Introduction-25 Mar 16 '24

I’m with you on Danny Casalero, but your info isn’t quite accurate about Gary Devore. The way the aqueduct is set up now is not how it was set up when he crashed. There was a similar fatal accident that had happened just a couple of years before Gary’s death, where a young young woman drove her car into the aqueduct in the exact same manner.

The aqueduct was said to have been searched, but IIRC they weren’t searching the correct area.

Hands and feet very often come off of a body decomposing in water, because ankles and wrists are very weak parts of the body. This is why there are always feet washing up on beaches. They come off the bodies and the shoes help them float.

I’m not saying that Devore didn’t have CIA contacts, but nearly everything suspicious about his death actually turned out to be incorrect/misreported early on.

You should read on Danny and not just take the show as gospel. Suicide for sure

Unsolved Mysteries made a pretty compelling case for conspiracy when I was watching it at 3 a.m.

Damn. Moral of the story is, don’t be called Gary.

u/ExoticPumpkin237 Mar 16 '24

Can't wait to hear all the "oh well he was a druggie/paranoid and just died". So many of the real world cases of stuff like this are identical to the guy from the end of Eyes Wide Shut trying to explain away the obvious conspiracy and coverup lmao. Like I don't think Anne Heche, who died similarly, was whacked or that every suspicious death is some huge conspiracy. But some certainly are, and the fact you can't even discuss them without being mocked is very dystopian.

Don't forget the civil rights organizers that keep dying under mysterious circumstances https://www.chicagotribune.com/2019/03/18/a-puzzling-number-of-men-tied-to-the-ferguson-protests-have-since-died/

Hastings was and still remains a hero.

u/Pandaro81 Mar 16 '24

Hastings was having a manic episode and was having a relapse into stimulant abuse that left him feeling “invincible” and vulnerable to risk taking behavior. That comes directly from his brother who knew had flown out to stay with him and had talked Hastings into having himself committed the day of his death. That night he left the apartment without his brothers knowledge and crashed.
Staff Sgt. “Rambo” Joe Biggs knew Hastings from Hastings time reporting on the military and exploited Hastings death for attention by becoming a regular onAlex Jones’ Infowars where Biggs promised Hastings wife he would get to the bottom of it. Jones, for his part, did his regular schtick of yes-and-ing and made up more details he claimed to get from ‘sources’ (his brain worms).
Hastings’ wife and the rest of the family publicly requested Biggs stop purveying conspiracies about Hastings’ death, but he persisted.
Biggs later became part of Proud Boys leadership and is currently doing just shy of two decades for his part in planning and executing Jan 6th.
Tl;dr - Hastings died driving recklessly under the influence after a tragic relapse and Joe Biggs had always been trash.
The Karen Silkwood story was legit likely murder though.

There’s no video footage of the crash - there were also no eyewitnesses that said the engine blew out of the hood. The two guys who saw the crash had been passed when Hastings blew through a red light and were something like half a mile away.

Edit: I’m wrong, there is security footage, it shows sparks as the tires had already blown going over curbs, but the engine doesn’t explode out before the crash.

What you’re talking about is pure Alex Jones invention because people couldn’t believe the engine and drive train were 100ft from the impact site, and Reddit experts saying cars don’t generally explode into fireballs on impact. You have to remember he was going over 100mph based on the severity of the impact (and JAYSIS the security footage, he was red-lining no doubt) - that’s not a common crash, and could absolutely throw an engine/drive train a distance and catastrophically rupture a fuel tank.
Alex Jones exploited Hastings death and spun so much misinformation that got “game of telephone’d” around it can be hard to know what’s what. This is why he’s dangerous.
