Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
bbc.com
John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.
In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.
Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.
It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

I am not a conspiracy theorist. Reality is trying it’s damnedest to make me one.
Eh. There will always be real conspiracies and then...lizard people conspiracies.
This shit right here? yeah.....they killed him. 100%. No doubt in my fucking mind.
I mean, he was old...people die—
oh shit they totally fucking killed him
THEY FUCKING KILLED HIM!
Relevant Chart (open image in new tab to see it larger):
Not sure what to make of this chart except that a few items are misplaced imo and I agree conspiracy shit is an alt right pipeline in most cases. Maybe it wasn't always but whatever.
Anyhow.
I haven't followed up on the news. But there sure wasn't much available yesterday. So as far as actual reliable evidence we the public have little.
The guy being dead with an apparent self inflicted wound (as BBC and others said) or gunshot (as Corp Crime Reporter said) during whistleblower court proceedings against a giant company is consistent with suicide from:
It is also consistent with:
Any of these is certainly plausible at least. As is Epstein being murdered. Actually, that one is more plausible, given the few suspicious coincidences and the sheer number of people who wanted his secrets to stay that way. Whereas extra-terrestrial UFOs aren't all that plausible based on our current body of scientific knowledge.
I agree with pretty much everything you've written. The only point I would like to make is that the section where the UFOs sits is the "We Have Questions" section, which is between the "Things That Actually Happened" and "Unequivocally False But Mostly Harmless" sections. I interpret this section as containing things that cannot (as of 2021) be conclusively shown to be true or false. Also note that they're not even saying ET UFOs, but just UFOs. I think the flying saucer is just for visual flair. If I recall correctly, the person who designed this is/was an actual graphic designer.
Lol, they mustn't be a great one, because their design seems to have led at least one of y'all to interpret the labels as denoting for the category below, rather than upper/lower bounds between two categories. i.e. things in the blue category above the "speculation line" label are speculative but not yet "leaving reality"
Epstein didn't kill himself though. The circumstances where above the level of questioning, there were cameras turned off and he was supposedly on suicide watch.
As I much as I also believe that, there is no hard evidence (that we know of) that he didn't kill himself. I think that's why it's in that section. The suspiciousness of it is through the roof, but we can't prove it.
Sure we can't prove it but that diagram puts it at the same level of UFOs.
Right, the chart is far from perfect, but they just grouped them both under the "we have questions" section. We have lots of unresolved questions about Epstein's death, we have lots of unresolved questions about UFO sightings.
No, I understand we have questions but explaining epstein requires a couple of details, while UFOs require new laws of physics.
You definitely have a good point. I don’t think the designer probably meant much by it though. It’s only a casual classification.
this is bulshit, epstein definetly didnt kill himself, for starters.
It's possible it was stress from the litigation. In fact, if you don't specify whose stress, I'd almost guarantee it.
Ha!
There are circumstances where conspiracy the likeliest explanation.
This is one of those.
If it actually happened, it's just a "conspiracy," not a "conspiracy theory."
He didn’t show any signs of depression or suicidal tendencies… signs like voluntarily flying on a boeing plane.
It's no longer a conspiracy when it's proven true.
This isn't proof. That's the crazy part. I hear ya. I'm with ya. I don't see anything that is concrete physical evidence to tie it all together. As of now.
I agree, I just was making a joke. It's a conspiracy until you realize it's a fact. MK-ULTRA, Government spying on you (which time? ) , Big tobacco hiding that cigerettes cause cancer, Stacks of ET games are buried in New Mexico, even dark stories like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments were all conspiracy theories at one time. Sadly they all turned out to be true.
There's also the conspiracy theory of conspiracy theories that the government actually likes and even spreads conspiracy theories so that the real ones get lost in the noise and written off by the general public as "just another loony conspiracy theory"
I like that one because I absolutely don't like it, but it's hard not to like and think that it's worth being a likable conspiracy theory.
And that's the problem with conspiracy theories, you like to like them and then you can't be sure.
It's just like that sometimes.
Very few conspiracies are as dark and terrifying as (checks notes) Atari games buried in the desert.
A conspiracy is when a group plans to do something unlawful. So if it's proven true it's still a conspiracy. It just stops being a theory.
A "theory" is a collection of information we currently understand to be true.
The term "conspiracy theory" is a misnomer that should be correctly expressed as "conspiracy hypothesis". But that's just a theory.
I think the confusion arises from the secrecy part. A conspiracy is understood to be a secret unlawful activity, especially of subversive nature. When it's not secret anymore is it still conspiracy? or is it just organised crime? I know it feels just pedantic, but this is why the media abuses words to steer collective opinion. Nowadays you can just say something is a conspiracy and people will believe it's fake without recourse.
I was just being kind of funny. Language is weird and I'm pretty sure that the word conspiracy is headed through the change to mean "Crazy people think this thing is true"
Then we need to find another word to express when people gets together to do shady shit, which happens more often than not.
No arguments here. I'd like to be able to differentiate between people going shady shit and flat earth believers.
That's the most annoying misunderstanding. A conspiracy is still a conspiracy when you prove it happened/it's happening. Conspirators remain conspirators, which means they were working together to do something illegal in secret. Ok, so now it's not secret anymore, but they still conspired.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident being created by the US was a conspiracy theory until it wasn’t.
Not every “conspiracy theory” is wrong. Sometimes people in charge are actually trying to cover something up. It’s not insane to be skeptical of an official line until it’s backed up with proof.
Lizard people, however, don’t exist.
My comment was meant to be tongue in cheek but you pretty much nailed the message I’m after. Don’t jump to the conspiracy conclusion but you have to have something wrong with your brain if this doesn’t at least tickle your skeptic gland.
Speak for yourself, upright ape.
That's what they want you to think.
