A couple of days ago I glanced at the discussion here in FB concerning the death of Michael Hastings, the journalist from Rolling Stones who authored a notable interview/reportage on the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. I referred this longest and one most thoroughgoing interview made with JA, in "
Plan Z: the latest national chauvinist campaign anti-WIkiLeaks. Saving Minister Bildt?". It was the interview where Assange exposes that "
Carl Bildt, became a U.S. Embassy informant in 1973 when he was 24 years old. He shipped his personal effects to Washington, to lead a conservative leadership program, where he met Karl Rove. They became old friends".
But I was quite sceptic about the assassination thesis (not because I am ready to disregard any “conspiracy theory” as purely nonsense – as certain detractors affirm
per default in their comments around the case Assange, WL, or the information war).
1. What´s the problem with that?, Carl Bildt has never hid that he is very friendly disposed to the USA.

I hypothesized for my own that it might have been a case of suicide. That kind of suicide where the victim wishes the happening to be instead appears as accident. I have developed this concept during my research at the Karolinska Institutet in the 90’s; a phenomenon that I called “Metasuicide”, and which it was in an article I published in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica. It discussed a kind of violent death, where forensics cannot establish with certainty a self-destructive intent with fatal aim; neither if the injury was externally produced. We also referred it to as UMSA cases (for “Undetermined cause, suicide or accident”).
As a matter of fact, Sweden was found to have the highest rate in Europe among such cases, and where these are labelled as “osäkra självmord”. A typical forensic scenario: vehicle at high speed, crushing to a pole or tree, no breaks traces in pavement, mechanical failure not otherwise established. Why suicidal individuals would conceal their suicidal intent at their demise, it is another theme; and perhaps “Psychological autopsy” it could give an answer (history of severe depression, ptsd and torture, etc). As I said, the thought crossed my mind on that Hastings case it could have been one of metasuicide.
But today I read this email, send by Michael Hastings to some close associates some hours before his “fiery car crash”.
1. Actually a great many Swedish suicides are accidents or murders/manslaughters labelled suicides to appease governmental demands for "better statistics". This is possible because churchrites for deceased so called "lik skådning" no longer are performed. A usual case that is presented to show this fact is the case of the old man assumed to have been accidently killed by falling actually seems to have been killed by several blows with a hammer to the head.
2. General unhappiness and unability to cope with the difference in communication between what said and really done is probably a usual cause of real suicides. Believing to much in fairytales in other words.
3. The forever young myth is probably a grand cause of suicides too as is relationship failures, broken hearts etc.

I found Hastings remarkable message in an article by
Melisa Jeltsen in the Huffington Post, material which is sourced in "
Exclusive: Hastings Sent Colleagues Email Hours Before Crash" published by KTLA
I could not however established – it is not commented in any of those dispatches - whether the email operator used by Hastings was Google’s Gmail.com.
Nevertheless, Michael Hastings' text, "hope to see you all soon" would exclude a suicidal intent. I may say. And, who would like to silence to death Hastings' announced "Big story"?
1. A similar note was sent by a pilot who comitted suicide in a extraordinary way half a decade ago or so. The meaning of his message was the opposite, "hope to see you all soon---
on the other side". Meaning that to change the system all the recievers of the message should follow his lead, because if they did, the system would have to be changed. That case was some kind of suicidal protest against the Obama administrations rather extraordinary bureacracy.
2. However, in my opinion all cloudbased services are fully indexed and not read but searched by diverse algorithms of various security services. Also when it comes to gmail there are several interfaces for affecting both content and interaction with any type of gmail account. These interfaces are very likely available to uncontrolled research facilities, security services and others. Technically speaking the second controll (id, locality, password) over such an interface is given away by the owning company, the owning company no longer controls how the interface is used. Note this is most likely relevant to all mailservices and just not googles gmail.
