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.

    I wonder how many suicides and unsolved murders in the US are actually government ops?

    These are the things we will learn when we overthrow the capitalists and dig through their nazisad-boiKGBsad-boitrompDeep State archives.

      In DC, there was a suspicious spate of random attacks supposedly committed by violent, highly coordinated Black youths. I don’t think all of the victims were targets of the knock out game, which is obviously a racist myth (there’s no confirmed evidence of the game’s existence beyond accusations from police and prosecutors) but rather the government/corporations. Maybe some fell victim to random street violence, though. But I wouldn’t be surprised if corporate and defense interests paid poor kids from juvie to rough up whistle blowers.

      The UK as a vassal state, too. Here’s an oldie but a goldie:

    I definitely believe it was wet work, but we need better sources than “his friend said he said so” if we want action

      This is the west/amerika. We could have definitive proof and there’d still be no action. Westerners are domesticated to an embarrassing degree.

    lmao this story makes no sense to me because…why would Boeing kill him AFTER he gave his deposition and why would they wait until like 5 years after he first whistleblew?? Not trying to be a Boeing smuglord defender but ever since this story broke I’ve been going “?? is this just headline bias”

      One reason is to make an example of him, another would be the implication for national security. These greedy fucks rather have their own military equipment fall apart than have anyone point out profit is undermining safety. He was revealing how Boeing was cheapening out on maintenance and manufacturing, and I guarantee that’s not just in the civilian sector.
