Satire implies some humor. This is terrifying. I 100% believe this giant corporation murdered these people and other ones will try to do the same. It's like when Russia kills someone and barely tries to provide plausible deniability. Because there's no consequences and they'll get away with it anyway. And because they want to send a threatening message. We are literally living in a dystopia...
It's important to remember that Boeing isn't JUST a plane company, but a government contractor that does a massive amount of rocket work for the armed forces.
There are more people than stock holders that have a vested interest in Boeing.
Including just about every single person who promised and/or would end up being responsible for conducting an investigation on them. Boeing is basically above the law as long as they pay the fines levyed by the courts that are overwhelmingly on their side.
Isn't it legal now? Did the US government nullify any Boeing contracts because of the first murder? Any of the Boeing heads and their government stooges in prison?
Doubt it. He couldn’t do it in his first term why the fuck would he suddenly be able to make it happen the second term? He’s a pile of shit but he wouldn’t ever make it happen.
Looks like the stroke was a complication from a systemic MRSA infection, which would not be my assassination agent of choice if I was trying to kill somebody on purpose, even if I did want it to look like an accident. MRSA only kills about 1 in 4 people infected with it, and many of those are people who are already hospitalized for some other serious illness. It strikes me as a rather low-probability way to kill a healthy adult.
I really hate it when this sort of thing happens. If you read into this particular death, it looks like a tragic series of unfortunate events and not anything nefarious. The earlier whistleblower death looked truly suspicious and I don't fault people for that one, but this one just isn't. Now this family is going to be dealing with a conspiracy and hounded by insane people while trying to grieve their loved one. I wish people could really look into these things instead of just reacting because Boeing has been sketchy lately.
It’s gotta be the same trolls that visit every Boeing thread claiming accidents are the fault of the airport not the manufacturer. They are fucking relentless.
First off fuck Boeing. Second off. When a part falls off of a 30 year old plane it's typically because the airline that owns it fucked up in the maintenance of the plane, sometimes it's the manufacturer not stating a correct procedure, or having the stated intervals too long, but just as many aviation accidents have been caused by fuckups during maintenance.
Or sometimes manufacturers simply send a wrong manual which doesn't apply to your aircraft at all. And it turns out you have to order one from across the ocean because the whole continent got the wrong manuals. Don't ask how I know.
It's impossible though. The whistleblower has to whistle to someone from the government. Corps like Boeing pay a lot to many people from the government. In case of Boeing they also pay with the taxpayers money that the government gave them. Which is funny because those whistleblowers likely payed for their own murder.
Wichita Kansas is where Spirit is. New Zealand is about as far as it gets from there. Reporters in New Zealand are just regurgitating what they read from more local sources. Being well informed requires good journalism and that requires access to sources so ya I stand by my statement to seek out more local articles
This guy got so angry at being called out for not having been in the military (as I'm in the reserves and still a conditional pacifist by conviction) and only being able to come up with inane violence fantasies that he had to tag me in another thread.
Go read the original conversation here. Guess he had to try to make a new one, due to getting downvoted quite hard in the actual one for the admittedly silly things he said. :/
Go buff your Walmart pistols, that'll make you feel safer.
Your refusal to read history doesn't mean it didn't happen.
you know what? you've inspired me. believe it or not, i am a person who can change their mind. i'm going to play devil's advocate here and take up the opposite position to what you propose, not because i want to prove i'm right but because you've taken the time to back up your argument with cited examples. i appreciate that. should we start a new thread somewhere? i'm new to lemmy so i'm not exactly sure where the right place would be. i have a lot to do today, so i won't be able to counter you quickly.
let me just say that i'm not angry (well... i'm angry, but not at you). i recognize that we're on the same side and i don't want to disparage a fellow comrade. i respect the fact that you've had military training, and if i can prove you wrong, i hope that you would take a second look at the value you provide to the cause.
He did not. There are lesser known photos showing him leaving the street. I think a lot of people haven't seen those.
I'm sure the Chinese government disposed of him if they were able to identify him. But as far as I know he's never been identified. I hope not. Brave motherfucker.
Not just one, but two whistleblowers in two months. And one of them said that if he dies soon, it would be a Boeing assassination a few days before he died.
well, to be clear, he said if he committed suicide, that he didn't commit suicide. Now i dont know much about suicide because i haven't done it. But if i were to do it, and i was being sued by a large company, i would probably say that they did it to me anyway.
Mostly just because it would be funny, but also because it be partially true, given what probably led up to the suicide itself.
Someone claiming to be a family friend said that’s what he said, after-the-fact. That part of the whole first whistleblower story is far from rock-solid.
Two out of two? Considering how few high profile whistleblowers there are, that is much more unlikely to be due to random chance, statistically speaking.
Similar to how it's not impossible that someone might fall out of a window and die.
But if in a certain country, important people who have crossed the leadership keep falling out of windows, ... well.
That all depends on how many whistle-blower there currently are, I suppose. If there's currently been only less than 10, is really, really, suspicious and unlikely two would die within even a year. If there's 500? Suspicious, but not outlandish.
Was this guy high profile? I'd never heard of him. And he was in the hospital for 2 weeks before dying and nobody seemed to care then.
When I read the headline, I was extremely suspicious but the cause of death is just completely incompatible with a hit job.
If you think a company that knowingly put 10s of thousands of people in danger with faulty planes resulting in over 300 deaths, wouldn't kill two people for exposing said crimes? I have a bridge to nowhere to sale you.
Does anybody actually know how the second person died? It was from an hospital acquired MRSA infection. I think it’s insane if people think Boeing somehow managed that to happen.
Welcome to Lemmy. Lots of terminally online idiots here. I was hoping this place would be like old Reddit. Turns out it's just as bad as current Reddit without as many bots.
Well, it depends on the Threadiverse community, as it did the subreddit. I mean, /r/conspiracy probably would buy into an assassination campaign conspiracy theory, but the subreddits I subscribed to on Reddit wouldn't.
