Planet Earth Awakens

Michael Hastings died in a car crash on Tuesday morning. He was one of the few genuinely upstanding non-partisan guys in the world of journalism. People like him are so precious in his field because they are so lacking, they are normally weeded out at an early stage in their careers and have to go it alone because they won't just tow a partisan line like the other hacks. Not many make it and the few that do who truly stand up for what they believe is right are often ostracised and derided by the corporate media. Michael Hastings will be wholeheartedly missed by real truth seekers across the globe.
