A former Boeing employee, who was found dead in March, accused the company of “countless” violations of US law in testimony given just before his death.
John Barnett claimed the firm tried to “eliminate” quality inspections at a plant that makes 787 planes.
The former quality control manager had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer.
The transcript of Mr Barnett’s deposition has now been released by his lawyers. The lengthy document runs to more than 140 pages.
The bulk of Mr Barnett’s deposition focuses on the period from 2010 onwards, after he had moved from Boeing’s facility in Everett, Washington to what was then a brand-new factory in North Charleston.
Is he the one that said “if anything happens, it’s not suicide” before he was found dead from “self-Inflicted” gunshots?
Don’t forget that he wanted to drove home that night, but was forced to stay one more night by Boeing’s lawyers to give an response in court in the morning.
I didn’t even know about that, thank you for being terrifying
Did he “kill himself” at a Boeing office?
Yep, that’s the one.
Well that’s sketch as fuck.
Right on the edge of suspicious, wouldn’ you say?
I mean that and the third bullet that news isn’t reporting…(Kidding about 3rd but his ☠️ is 100% on Boeing)
Indeed, he did.

Careful, you might get two tickets to paradise (so it looks like an accident)
Maybe they’ll get two chicks and a pair of dice instead?

Tbh it doesn’t even have to be boeing who did it. Boeing is important to the government (actually multiple governments) and it’s not exactly a stretch to consider said governments are involved.
Also if we go with thinking boeing did do it, look at almost any organized crime related murder.
Or some combination of the two.
People have been killed for far, far less. And there are a lot of people who will hurt other people purely for revenge, regardless of any other factor.
The point is, I don’t think it’s as much of a stretch as you seem to think.

Killing someone is a favor than can be purchased. I don’t think anyone is saying the CEO of Boeing went there and killed him himself. People are saying they had him killed, as in paid someone to kill him. That is something you can do, especially if you have as much money as these people do. Hell, you hear about it occasionally with people who have normal amounts of wealth.

Yes, yet people get away with this all the time. Even if the killer gets caught, loyalty can be enough to keep them quiet.
Think about all the people that Putin has “probably” had killed. And the assassinations by the CIA and other intelligence agencies throughout the world.
Here are the notable hitmen that we know about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_contract_killers_and_hitmen

There are $105.6 billion in reasons. Public knowledge of safety measures and quality control directly effects stock price. That’s billions of dollars tied up in knowledge not becoming public. Who benefits? Shareholders. Not knowing who did it doesn’t mean it wasn’t murder. Plenty of murders happen without knowing the culprit or even specific motive. The guy outright said “if I die, I was killed”. And then he kills himself for the memes? What’s his motive for suicide, especially given his quotes regarding it?

It’s the exact same argument for the company. Protect the money. Benefits for the Union? It’s money via benefits. If stock price isn’t motivation for the company, it isn’t motivation for the Union. If keeping the negatove publicity of a drug problem on the lines a secret is motivation for the Union, keeping the negative publicity of a corner cutting secret is motivation for the company (ESPECIALLY amid previous negative publicity with the 737 Max fiasco). If maintaining power is motivation for the Union, keeping power via Boeings 42% market share is motivation for the company. Unless Boeing is not motivated by money, or it’s not motivated to keep a positive public appearance, or it’s not motivated by keeping power, which I’d argue are ALL motivations of a publicly international corporation worth hundreds of billions of dollars, then I fail to see why these are motivations that preclude Boeing Co.
Are you asking who killed him specifically, like in-person killed him? Probably someone unrelated if I had to guess. You can hire actual hitmen. That’s a real thing that exists if you go to the right (or rather wrong for most people) places on the internet.
Maybe to act as a chilling effect on future whistle blowers?
And even if he had testified, no one is ever going to be punished. Money will smooth over problems as always.
When you’re done with your crystal ball, can we use it too?

Well, you see, I don’t have any proof, hell I don’t even have any evidence. But it fits my world view, and that’s all that matters.
Also everyone else lacks the ability to think critically and I’m totally rational.
BOEING KILLED JOHN BARNETT

-
his testimony was not over, he had another round the next day
-
he said that he was not suicidal. He saw it coming.
Until someone confesses, the group with the most motive is Boeing. Bag them all and make them squeal.

What is the motive?
Why are you acting like this is some impossible mystery that we’ll never understand? The motive is either “silencing him so he can’t reveal more”, “intimidating other potential whistleblowers”, or a combination of both. Is this some grand revelation to you, or are you deliberately acting like you’ve been dropped on your head every day since birth?
and exactly who cares when money can make this go away?
Yeah, we’re actively seeing how money has made all of Boeing’s problems go away. No investigations are happening, there could not be any issues if further whistleblowers step forward 🙄
But no, murder will make everyone not care, really?
Again, think about the motives for more than half a second, and you’ll see that the idea isn’t to “make everyone not care”.

You did not answer the question. What is the motive? You describe actions that can be taken, but to what end?
Have you tried reading the sentence I wrote that starts with “the motive is”? Please explain to me why you consider that question to be valid, when I literally explicitly answer the question?
I genuinely don’t think you have the intelligence required to understand the answer, since you didn’t understand it when I first gave it to you. You didn’t ask a clarifying question, you didn’t give a counter argument - you simply act like no answer was provided, even though you must have seen it the whole time you wrote your reply. Why? Why would someone ever choose to behave the way you do?

This looks bad for Boeing.
They should probably do a stock buyback in response.
Should probably have the reporter whacked.
When I booked a flight in a few months overseas, I made sure it was on all Airbus. Because Boeing is scaring the fuck out of me.
Jeffrey EpsteinJohn Barnett did not kill himselfIs this a new murdered whistle blower, or the murdered whistleblower from like, last month? its so hard to keep track with boeing.
This is the first one.
Well, the recently murdered one.
Guys I’m not talking ethics I’m talking free money.
Now is the time to invest in Boeing.
Their balls have never been stomped flatter.
They still have Military contracts.
WWIII is on the horizon.
This is not investing advice. Allegedly.
I guess you are joking but Boeing is a company of supreme national importance. If/when the government bails them out the government must get a majority stake in the company!
lol, like that will ever happen
They arent looking to be in a great position to recover dominance tho.
Buy USA helped America put all her eggs in one basket. Boeing will survive but it will be forced into changing far more than it ever wanted to.
