JFK Calc is an online spreadsheet database of 115 witnesses, probability calculations, graphs and links to other data sources. It has all of the information required for a robust analysis: a) known witness universe, b) official cause of death, c) average unnatural mortality rates and d) relevant time period (1964-1978).<br /><br />There were at least 115 suspicious deaths among an estimated 1400 JFK material witnesses. At least 83 (8%) were unnatural: 47 homicides, 24 accidents, 8 suicides, 4 unknown. <br /><br />Given the 1964-1978 national average unnatural mortality rate (0.000808), only 17 unnatural deaths would be expected. The probability of 83 unnatural deaths is E-30 (ZERO). It's even lower (E-70) using the JFK-weighted witness rate (0.000232). <br /><br />Assuming that some of the "accidents", "suicides" and "heart attacks" were actually homicides, the probabilities would be even lower. But it's a moot point since they are virtually ABSOLUTE ZERO given the official cause of death. <br />http://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/jfk-calc-a-spreadsheetdatabase-of-mysterious-witness-deaths/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-40525280285108111772013-06-25T13:37:19.172-07:002013-06-25T13:37:19.172-07:00On hacking modern cars--

There is a lot of potential chemical energy in a gas tank that's even a quarter full. Getting up to such speeds -- providing he didn't start a cold engine and floor the car into that tree -- results in a lot of red hot parts, particularly the catalytic converter and other exhaust system parts.”<br /><br />A car’s interior, Kennerly says, is particularly flammable. “Your car is filled with fabric, foam and plastic, but the only federal standards relate to dropping a cigarette on it,” Kennerly says. “What happens in these higher-speed accidents is that hot parts leave the engine compartment and start coming into contact with plastic and other chemicals. The last time NTSB did testing on this, those fires spread in one to three minutes. That nice interior with shiny leather and chemicals that make it look and smell nice, all of it will catch fire. Once something like foam or plastic reaches the temperature of burning, it burns immediately. It looks like a bomb -- it looks like an incendiary was planted on [Hastings' car] because many times it produces the same types of chemicals as it degrades.”Just The Facts, Pleasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49088856083331257262013-06-21T10:28:27.273-07:002013-06-21T10:28:27.273-07:00Operation Gladio has come home to America.

Basically, the thing is spinning fast (as one would if you were going 100mph), it would squirt a lot of gasoline out and cause a pattern of fire like you see in the video.

Please.<br /><br />The last video of her showed her in the hotel elevators disoriented and pushing all the buttons, apparently fearful of something.<br /><br />The news reports pointedly indicate at the time and at the LAT story that the roof access was locked, the water tower itself was locked, and accessible only by climbing (this was at night by the way) a twenty foot high ladder, and then unlocking the cover, which weighed over 45 pounds.<br /><br />Very likely the LAPD knows who killed Lam, and the suspect is likely to be inconvenient: Black, connected/celebrity, and the cause of another Rodney King Race Riot. Chinese media however is aghast, and pressing for answers. I would not be shocked if the Chinese media had info leaked by the Chinese spy services about the likely real killer.

Connected, blue-tooth, wifi enabled high technology current cars have all sorts of goodies. And all sorts of holes and entry points into remote operation of the vehicle. The brakes, ignition, etc. could have been disabled and the accelerator remotely floored. Slashdot has some article there on their site a few months ago with a proof-of-concept hacking of a car.<br /><br />Being a late model luxury Benz, it is likely multiple holes exist to enable such hacking.<br /><br />The question is, why kill a journalist like Hastings? Why not simply intimidate sources, his laptop, phones, etc. are ridiculously easy for the NSA to tap and probably fairly easy for private agencies to do; apps on smart phones are very easy to compromise. They are not built for security.<br /><br />If I had Hastings money, I would have gotten an older non-smart enabled car restored, something that could not be remotely hacked. I would have also eschewed smart phones aka built in surveillance/tracking devices.<br /><br />Sharyl Atkinson of CBS News says her computer was remotely accessed and data regarding her Benghazi stories accessed during the time she was breaking that story last Sept/Oct. If a journalist is breaking a story, the threat is not the journalist so much as the leaker.<br /><br />And killing leakers is a fools game. It works for a while but if there is one guy with a grudge, there will be a hundred more. The Russians, the foreign press in Britain, Hong Kong, Japan, all are conduits for info and thumb drives and remote access and such make damaging information a lot more easy to leak out than plans locked away in the Interior Ministry HQ circa 1955.<br /><br />If Hastings car was hacked, it was amateur hour, likely not the government, because the government has power to simply jail sources for leaking, itself a crime under Eric Holder. Who is immune to scandal because he's Black. That's how it works. Obama would have been gone by now if he was White, but being Black has millions of Sandra Flukes worshiping him.<br /><br />My question is, what is a family man doing out at 4 AM in Hollywood?Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-56052535760890269342013-06-20T22:08:22.081-07:002013-06-20T22:08:22.081-07:00A journalist as smart as Hastings seemed to be wou...A journalist as smart as Hastings seemed to be would have made sure to have any important information kept safely and with instructions to have it made public in the event of his death.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-28402058135282230352013-06-20T22:01:57.117-07:002013-06-20T22:01:57.117-07:00Steve, KCAL 9 had an interview and video shot on d...Steve, KCAL 9 had an interview and video shot on dash cam from some local stringer, he had video of Hastings blasting through the intersection right before his crash. The stringer did not know it was Hastings or the crash, he just had his dash cam rolling all the time in the hope of getting footage. I got the idea he trolled around Hollywood in the wee hours looking for footage for local/network news and TMZ etc.<br /><br />My guess, Hastings was just driving too fast and lost control. There was no one following him, and the video around him would make a full-on hit hard to pull off. Particularly since far too many line cops and detectives detest the feds and the oversight they used to penalize the LAPD.<br /><br />You've talked about the ubiquity of cell phone and surveillance video -- well Hastings was caught on the stringer dash came just about 20 seconds before the crash.
