So are we going to talk about how Boeing just suicided their whistleblower?

Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead Via "Self-Inflicted" Gunshot Wound

John Barnett, 62, had worked for the aircraft company for 32 years.

John had been giving key information in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company in which he raised concerns about the firm's production standards.

He alleged sub-standard parts were deliberately fitted on planes, and that 1 in 4 oxygen masks would not work in the case of an emergency.

In some cases, parts were literally taken out of scrap bins and fitted onto planes, in order to prevent delays on the production line, John claimed.

And now, in the middle of the lawsuit, he's found dead via a "self-inflicted" gunshot wound in his truck.

In a statement Boeing said: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends."

I think watching the documentaries about the assassination of Javier Peña, the DEA agent, and Malcolm X were suggestive that our government is trash.

Just watched a movie about cracking the enigma.

The Brits, while understandable, did some fricked up shite with the shadowy MI6.

I guess we have been naive for a long time.

I think the only whistleblower that escaped unharmed was Deep Throat and that's because he was deep state FBI and went after Nixon for the left.

Karen Silkwood was murdered along with other whistleblowers in history. It rarely ends well for whistleblowers.

All is not lost. The main character was gay.

FWIW, it's been 7yrs since Barnett worked at Boeing. His whistleblowing was under Dennis Muilenburg's tenure. Muilenburg was forced out in 2019.

Not exactly shocking. You know how many in congress have major Boeing stock holdings? And MIC luminaries like Nimrata and Miss Lindsey.
