Boeing’s hit job must have been well planned.
The killer would have had to kill him in his car, wrap his hands around the gun to establish fingerprint marks. A company like Boeing that’s part of the Military-Industrial Complex wouldn’t have an issue finding a highly trained contract killer.
Bribes at the local authority level (maybe higher too) to have them rule it a suicide with no further investigation needed. No need for further pesky questions.
Now all I’m waiting on is for the judge to toss out his incomplete testimony since it isn’t complete.
Then just wait a few weeks until the media focuses on other things.
Then the execs can have martinis while stock number go up.
Regardless of if they actually hired a hitman, it’s very clear that Boeing harassed and psychologically attacked this man to the point of him ending up dead.
Whether they actually hired a man to pull that trigger or convinced him to pull it himself, legally his murder would be on their hands and they damn well need charged for it.
They don’t need to do that, they could have just called him on a burner phone and threatened to kill his family if he didn’t kill himself. Forensically indistinguishable from suicide, but absolutely murder by coercion.
Has it ever happened to check the previous call logs of a suicide victim? Of course Boeing can bribe the telcom to keep shut / delete the info. But i’m curious wether it’s ever been done.
Michelle Carter was convicted of manslaughter for encouraging her boyfriend to commit suicide by text
Of course it’s been done.
Didn’t have to have been Boeing. Must be plenty of investors.
Fucking disgusting we’ll never know*, RIP heroic whistleblower who lost everything.
(*I acknowledge there’s a non-zero chance it was suicide)
Actions like these is why I think it’s acceptable to kill members of the ruling class.
They’ve been killing us for generations and not only getting away with it, but getting rewarded for it in a way that makes their lives superior to ours.
Fuck them, and their useful idiot supporters.
Why did they wait so long to off him then?
Being willing to kill someone as a “last option” and wanting to kill everyone who poses the slightest threat are not the same motivations.
Also thinking about it, how many people at a company the size of Boeing become a threat by being bothered with criminal practices violating safety and other law and ethic standards? How many do we not hear about because the “normal” coercion tactics work?
Having half your engineering department wind up dead because they raised concerns about issues with the production could backfire much more to begin with, but also it would make every engineer look for a different employer quickly. So trying to destroy someones reputation first, ousting him, creating a “him vs. us” mentality is preferential. It also makes it easier for the company to move on after killing him, if the need arises.
So both from a emotionally crippled, but not fully devoid point of view and from an completely psychopathic cold blooded strategy point of view it makes sense to not pull the trigger on everyone right away.
I can’t think of a bigger chilling effect on employees than making it clear to them that if you speak out, you’ll be dead.
If people won’t hold corporations accountable no one will.
As it happened with Khashoggi and the same with Daphne and the list will always keep going on & on while we imagine hearing the clink of more glasses after.
Jeffery Epstein…
I didn’t want to mention him as he wasn’t a heroic whistle blower but a criminal with a testimonial, but yes I agree even he wasn’t spared by his fellow posh.
I’m pretty sure there are rules that govern how to handle a witness dying in the middle of testimony
“Look the other way or you’re next”
