A close family friend of John Barnett said he predicted he might wind up dead and that a story could surface that he killed himself.
But at the time, he told her not to believe it.
If it’s good for our shareholders, it’s good for the country. 📈
Yet another issue with capitalism is that the profitability and brand image of massive corporations becomes “a matter of national security”; otherwise known as “too big to fail”.
Yeah so many things about this whole situation makes it suspiciously seem like John Barnett was suicided than anything else.
ya he was murdered…BY A PLANE COMPANY…
A BANANA COMPANY tried to overthrow a country.
Many. And oil companies overthrow governments, too.
Read “Confessions of a Corporate Hitman.”
A wealthy investor is much more likely IMO.
Yes, and? People have been murdered over construction companies, trucking companies, cargo companies… And those are just the ones that spring to mind. I’m sure you could find an example for any industry if you wanted to.
Doesn’t mean it’s a normal thing to do, which your tone implied.
How much money was at stake? How many careers at stake? There you go.
Doesnt matter what the company is.
People murder for money. That company is going to lose billions for what he knew.
Username checks out.
Boeing is a defense contractor.
Looks like civil methods are off the table then
If I hated someone and was also going to kill myself, I’d probably say something like this before I did it. Just sayin. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the real one.
Conspiracies that involve large groups of people, like the entire C-suite at Boeing, generally don’t work out. It would have to be a personal grudge, not a corporate move
Note to future whistleblowers: file identical sealed and notarized statements with at least three or more trusted parties to be unsealed in the event of an untimely death before initiating talks with investigators. Don’t volunteer the existence of those documents to investigators, and don’t change your story.
Scorch the earth.
It’s not unusual for people to say one thing and do another. It’s not unusual for someone to be so aggrieved that their friend died that they try to hurt the people who indirectly caused it, i.e. Boeing, so they stretch the truth for the greater good, as they see it (maybe he really said it, but as a joke, which has now been upgraded to “a cold statement of fact said with a straight face”). It’s not unusual for people to push themselves into the limelight as a “close friend” when they weren’t. It’s typical of suicides that the person seems about as unsuicidal as you can get, then apparently out of the blue and on a moment’s notice decides to do it. The man was under extreme stress, and had been for a long time. People in that situation don’t think the way we do when we read about it; being that person in that situation will necessarily change how you think and no one else can understand it until they’ve been through it. If you’ve ever had clinical depression, for example, you’ll know how indescribable it is to people who haven’t dealt with it. So saying “why would he do it, he was so close to the finish line!” means sweet fuck all.
The same could be said for Boeing: the case was almost over, and John being dead doesn’t change anything about that. It does them no favours, the evidence of their fuckery is already well-established. He was, after all, a whistleblower. Once the whistle is blown, it’s a bit late to start offing people. Or do we all think they kill him as mere retribution/punishment?
If they have the means and the skills to make someone’s murder look like suicide to law enforcement and the coroner, how can they be so fucking stupid to think no one would find it suspicious and make them look bad regardless? In the age of rampant conspiracism on TikTok and Twitter and the armies of reddit detectives derailing murder trials, they would have been better offing their own CEO and making it look like suicide, after he writes a lengthy note taking the blame for everything.
Dr. David Kelly said “I’m gonna end up being found dead in the woods”, which he was, but all evidence points to it being a suicide. Princess Diana said “Charles might try to kill me in a car accident”, but the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of her fatal accident being just that, an accident, and her supposed “friend” the butler made up a whole load of shit about her to sell a book.
Now, I’m not saying this couldn’t possibly be a hit. But the evidence for it, at this moment in time at least, is extremely weak. It’s a whisper of a suspicion based on movie logic, but of course the internet and the “Epstein didn’t kill himself” memebrains are just running with it.
And yes, Epstein fucking killed himself.
