My immediate reaction was that this was one of those hoax broadcasts that from time to time are generated and one or more news agencies will bite on it and make themselves look foolish. Then a more sinister thought crossed my mind. If Briebart has truly passed? How does that meld with him being one of the prominent antagonist (if not the most prominent antagonist) to the Obama administration over the last three years.
Natural cause they say. Forty three years old and walking down the street and witnesses report that he literally 'dropped dead.' I am sorry, but after becoming aware of just how easily the KGB use to silence their adversaries, I cannot help but think that this death is more than just bizarre. Both in who it is and the timing.
There was a time when I would have felt that the media would have raked the coals and insured that everything was handled accordingly and appropriate investigations were conducted into a death as sudden and inexplicable as this. I no longer believe in that form of determined journalism as I earnestly believe that the media is complicit in much of the political underworld of today.
Three generations ago Dwight Eisenhower's parting shot was to warn America against the "military industrial complex." I now believe that the threat Eisenhower envisioned lasted less than a generation and was soon supplanted by the egalitarian secular humanist who now rule this nation through it's media and it's political parties. The only difference in the threats that either represented is their ideology. And sooner or later the American people will either recognize their would be masters or they will suffer eternal generations of enslavement due to their failure to protect their freedom.
Rest in peace Briebart. I am not so sure that you are not a casualty of the present cold war.
In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
by Larry Solov With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.
Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.
We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
