Prior to his death, whistleblower John Barnett was testifying against Boeing over concerns about standards.
You know, after I’ve testified to the malpractice of the business I gave the better part of my life to. The first thing I’d like to do is shoot myself in my truck in a hotel parking lot.
Jesus fucking christ. How terribly overt.
Whistleblowers have tremdous balls. Really hope this is properly investigated, but know how epstein shit went.
Karen Silkwood, Michael Hastings…
…well that’s kinda fuckin convenient, considering all the scrutiny Boeing’s been under lately…
As always, died of “self-inflicted” wounds.
Here I was naively thinking Michael Clayton was fiction.
Also a relevant book by Michael Crichton
I know this might sound naive, buy why don’t more whistleblowers get “all their ducks in a row” before coming out by recording absolutely everything and mailing it out in triplicate to random (or carefully chosen) third parties with some sort pf deadman switch? And announcing they’ve done so only after it’s all in place? If one knows one’s life might be at risk, make sure the bastards are exposed, no matter what happens.
From what I have read, this person has been blowing the whistle for multiple years. Something changed, recently. Not good. Not cool. It is sad.
How would that have prevented him killing hinsekf, which is what appears to have happened here.
Having been involved in some very minor whistleblowing it can be incredibly stressful and depressing
Sure, with two gunshots to the back of the head?
Do you know something, or are you just making stuff up?
For legal reasons I cannot answer
Yeh, that’s what I thought
This does not surprise me at all. What will surprise me is if any arrests are made.
Oh, he got the Epstine treatment, shame good honest people fall victim to capitalist goons.
Two self inflicted shots to the back of the head you say
