    Default Boeing Whistleblower Before His Death: “If Anything Happens to Me, It’s Not Suicide”

    Boeing Whistleblower Before His Death: “If Anything Happens to Me, It’s Not Suicide”
    A chilling twist in the Boeing whistleblower story raises serious questions about his death.
    This article originally appeared on The Gateway Pundit and was republished with permission.

    Guest post by Jim Hoft

    A former Boeing manager and whistleblower, John Barnett, had told a close friend days before his untimely death that if anything happened to him, it would not be suicide.
    The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Barnett was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound inside his car in a hotel parking lot shortly after testifying against the aerospace company.
    Barnett had accused Boeing of neglecting safety concerns and retaliating against him for his disclosures.
    The 62-year-old, who had a 32-year tenure with the company until his retirement in 2017, died on March 9 during a break from depositions in a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit.
    “Barnett’s death came during a break in depositions in a whistleblower retaliation suit, where he alleged under-pressure workers were deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the assembly line.” the Daily Mail reported.

    Charleston police are investigating after Barnett was found in his truck “suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.”
    According to the Daily Mail, Barnett was reportedly found with a ‘silver handgun’ in his hand and his finger on the trigger.
    In the wake of his death, a suicide note was reportedly found near Barnett, raising questions and skepticism among his legal team.
    His attorneys, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, have publicly questioned the conclusion that Barnett took his own life, urging the Charleston police for a thorough investigation.

    They emphasized Barnett’s upbeat spirits before his scheduled deposition and expressed disbelief that he would commit suicide.
    Adding to the mystery, police have conducted an extensive examination of Barnett’s vehicle, a process not typically associated with clear-cut suicides. According to reports, police have dusted his car for fingerprints.
    Hotel staff members also recounted Barnett appearing completely normal on the evening preceding his death.
    Now this…
    In a shocking revelation to ABC News, a close family friend of John Barnett disclosed his haunting premonition before his untimely death....

    nothing to see here.

    Big pharma, big oil, big banks, the Military industrial complex are all just honest corporations.
    ...that love... America.
    Of course a few MISTAKES are made here and there but the FREE MARKET will fix it.

    You should reread the history of the Rockefellers, Carnegie, Morgan, Harriman, the coal Magnets, the East India corporation, ... slavery... etc... when the markets were free in different way than now.
    And incorporate that into any theory of what "free markets" really are and produce.

    I understand the difference between free markets and "free markets." Same with capitalism and "capitalism." And even capitalists and "capitalists." Many people talk about "_______" when trying to indict _______.

    The takeaway with your OP should be that murder =/= free markets.

    the takeaway should be that people are willing to, and do, kill for money.
    And that fact doesn't change from the homeless Joe Shmoe to Fortune 500 corporate leadership.

    Neither the free market or "the free market" has any moral check, principal or force that would hinder murder for profit.
    That's a sub-point of fact.

    Like using sub-par materials & workmanship isn't really held in check much by the free market when you get pass a certain size.
    You can pay off inspectors internal & external (are gov't inspectors a free market feature?)
    And still make profits for the shareholders for extended periods of time.
    as long as no one whistle-blows.
    If they do whistle-blow what's the cost benefit analysis of shutting the person up for good?
    long & short term?
    in the free market or "the free market"?

    I'm not saying we should become communist , that's worse. I'm just saying we can't pretend that pure free market or " free market" doesn't have very real & persistent dark spots.

    Murder is a crime. Fraud is a crime.
