And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.
So what now we like conspiracy theories when they suit us?
Chat,
Did the Boeing whistleblower who deliberately told his family and friends that he wasn’t suicidal commit suicide?
This did not happen.
Was there ever a credible investigation?
What’s there to investigate? It was just your normal everyday ‘outside a hotel, the day before your witness testimony to expose how a giant government backed multinational corporation is sacrificing people’s lives for profit, suicide’ It happens all the time!
Well shit, that doctor who phrase about the human super power of forgetting rings even true day by day
I mean, fuck Boeing and the death still seems suspicious. But to claim that there was no police investigation is just lying. Suspect a cover-up or frame or whatever if you want, but seems like there was a pretty thorough investigation: https://www.wdbj7.com/2024/05/18/police-release-investigation-report-boeing-whistleblower-death/
An unpopular opinion, but I’m not buying a conspiracy either. The guy wanted to hurt Boeing, had just finished testifying and saw the writing on the wall that Boeing was going to walk, and decided to kill himself as a last stab at bringing attention to it. Worked like a charm too.
It’s only unpopular because every time someone dies that’s even tangentially associated with some corporate fuckery the internet instantly calls it an assassination. It’s absolutely stupid, but the hive mind seems to be geared to desperately want everything to be a conspiracy. No better than the conservatives making vaccines a conspiracy.
there’s proof it wasn’t a suicide in the article you’ve linked there… well, it’s not the same as having the complete police report, buuut:
finger was still on the trigger when officers attempted to remove the gun from his hand. A police report states no fingerprints were recovered from the gun.
so, he wiped down the gun and bullets for fingerprints, and then shot himself?
sounds a lot like someone else shot him or put the gun in his hand and made him shoot himself (like by threatening his family)… and a shiny silver revolver is great for collecting fingerprints….
could’ve been an omitted detail… or soaked in blood?they mention his fingerprints were found all over his notebook, so that seems pretty inconsistent….
….
i’ll just go smoke my Sherlock Holmes pipe now….Let me get this straight. You think somebody else wiped down the fingerprints on the gun, shot him, and then stuck his finger on the trigger without thinking about creating any fingerprints? Does seem like someone half-assed the wrong step of that operation…
seems like it…
You’ve misread the passive language here. ‘no prints were recovered’ can mean that they tried to find prints and couldn’t, or that they never even bothered to try getting prints off the gun.
Also, people need to understand that not everything you touch will 100% have your fingerprints.
It could also mean no print were recovered other than his obviously which they may have just not bothered to mention
Yeah that’s the obvious answer here, his finger was on the gun so his prints were there too…
like by threatening his family
Exactly. Boeing investors/management maybe didn’t kill anybody. They simply asked him if he loved $familyMember1 ($age, $location, $bestFriend), $familyMember2 ($age, $location…)…
But one ceo gets killed and the polic and fbi go all in

they’re just doing their job. protecting the interests of big business and the wealthy.
Chiquita overthrew a government and everyone still loves their bananas 🤷♂️
Jeffrey Epstein. Imagine how many people whose names you haven’t heard just randomly committed suicide one day. Or had an accident. Or just disappeared.
Victoria Giuffre more recently in regards to Epstein.
she also said quite publicly that she’s not suicidal and she would never do that to her family, and if that happened she was suicided…
Yeah I know. Sadly this doesn’t get any bigger media representation.
the most interesting part to me is that nowhere along the line did anyone mention just how interesting it all is. you know the real bad shit has started when the press shuts up and universities bend over and one of the richest people in the fucking world has to re-think his pricing displays because it pissed off the King.
edit to add - he put a fucking tax on british tea without congress. that’s a taxation without representation. on british fucking tea.
This is honestly a subject I get annoyed about. The US has ‘whistleblower’ protections but it’s really not there. This isn’t a black-op opp, it’s a failure of protections/proper compensations for blowing the whistle. Imagine you’ve spent your whole life dedicated to one field of engineering. You’ve now sacrificed it to blow the whistle. It’s not fair, nor is it just, but that’s what happens.
Boeing has done so much wrong that it honestly feels negligent to focus on a perceived assassination. And it directs attention away from how whistleblowers could be protected
You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don’t blow the whistleJesse Welles might be the Guthrie of our time.
He wasn’t rich enough for anyone to care about.
Yes but won’t anybody think of Shareholder Value?!!
I suppose once you’re responsible for hundreds to thousands of innocent people’s deaths, one more kinda fades into the background without much further effect.
I remember thinking how much like Russia it would be to try to damage an American companies reputation, especially one that is providing support for their enemy…
Slow down there, Joseph McCarthy. /s
Not everything fucked up about capitalism can be reasonably pinned on the Russians.
Murder and execution is not the same as gross neglicence. It was Missmanagement and cost optimization (if you can call this that) and a fuck you attitude. and it’s bad. It’s horrible and people should go to jail and definitely to court. But murder? No.
Pretty sure it’s referencing John Barnett who allegedly shot himself in his truck while he was engaged in active litigation against Boeing. It ain’t about the doors, it’s about their whistleblowers no longer being around to testify.
