I don't know how many times I have seen self inflicted gunshot wound to the head or inhalation of carbon monoxide (if the car exhaust was used) in articles, that's pretty much bs

Idk man, you're the one humoring the idea that a huge company with a shit ton of PR issues is throwing a paid killing onto the fire.

you are saying it is 100% impossible and would never ever happen?
is this correct?

and do you think this kind of thing never happened in the history of American Corporations? Let me know your answers

Oh my god, MrResetti is actually serious.

Companies used to go to war. Assassination isn't necessarily a far fetched thing for them to do.

I think he timing is just right for you to think your idea is justified.

It's way more likely the guy just got tired of it all and said goodbye on his own terms. Think what you want, but I doubt Boeing put a fucking hit on someone knowing the timing and possible backlash. The world is too connected to do something like that in America without recourse.

And you can say "well that's what you think, because you're naive" but if a company like Boeing really wanted to get rid of someone it wouldn't be so obvious the BBC picked up on it so soon.

you understand he was literally giving witness testimony like the day he passed?

Barnett was cross-examined by Boeing's lawyers and his own attorney days before he died.
The court planned for Barnett to answer more questions on Saturday, but he did not appear as planned.

what was he tired of Mr.Ressetti?

Why would someone eager to testify end up with self-inflicted gunshot death.

This isn't Russia. Corporations don't just take out hits on people. This is delusional fantasy

Didnt an American company literally send the Pinkertons to threaten and break into someones house who bought some trading cards? I dont believe what you say for a second

You're ignoring human condition. Willingness to cooperate is not a means to discredit a suicide.

Yes that was Hasbro and Magic the Gathering. They collected the product after making the guy and his family scared to death.

Here is youtube link of the man that is being referred to giving an interview and showing his concern and discussing what he is blowing the whistle on

Reminds me of another person that was said to not have killed themselves. Large corporations & their powerful legislators would surely never do sussy shit to whistleblowers

I grew up with the propaganda that in countries like Australia and America you have the freedom and liberty to talk shit about the government, unlike in big bad communist Russia and China where the secret police will black bag you.

Then I grew up and familiarized myself with what the FBI did to communist sympathizers (I.e. anyone who was even remotely critical of capitalism) during the Cold War in blatant violation of the first amendment. Or how to this very day governments are working their hardest to bust unions.

Freedom doesnt exist. The right to free expression doesnt exist. Laws dont matter. You just arent considered dangerous or important enough to the ruling class to be worth silencing. The 1% class of the civilized west are just as ruthless and corrupt as anywhere else in the world.

It's super sus and is probably going to leave conspiracy theories forever because all those government ties don't mean they did it but it means they'll never be prosecuted for it, or anything else ( -_-)

Wasnt Guatemalas government overthrown because the then-head of state was going to kick out whatever company is now either Dole or Chiquita?

Yup. A very live one I remember fled the country and boarded up in a foreign embassy. The Wikileaks dude, I believe.

Yeah dude was straight up assassinated

Could a whistle blower snitch on Boeing or whoever without revealing their identity? Just tell whoever is investigating all the info needed, they investigate, probably come up with strong evidence against them then whistle blower is still anonymous? Cause if there's evidence of someone or a company doing something wrong then there seems to be no need for a witness

Boeing is heavily tied to the Military, unfortunately this isn't surprising.... can't even tell the truth anymore in this country.

Boeing knows that everybody knows it wasn't suicide. It doesn't matter though, because the law has to prove that. I imagine they thought (and rightfully so I bet) this assassination would be swept under the rug in a month or two, their PR would recover like nothing happened, and whatever beans the whistleblower was about to spill will stay locked up in the bag.

TL'DR: killing someone was less risky than not.

Could it be someone working for Boeing, maybe someone who was about to be exposed as a criminal, hiring a hitman to save his skin?

Like, people can splinter off, it doesn't have to be a company backed, approved by the Boeing board of directors type hit

There is an in between option here

no they have to testify in court or it cannot be considered witness testimony

I'm not a lawyer or a judge, but couldn't a whistleblower provide enough to a judge to justify a search warrant? I don't think they have to explain why they had the warrant, and everything it turns up is legitimate for use in court.

Didn't we only find out Deep Throat's identity decades after the fact?

Was Deep Throat testifying?

That'd probably account for some differences.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) 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.

"He wasn't concerned about safety because I asked him," Jennifer said. "I said, 'Aren't you scared?' And he said, 'No, I ain't scared, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide.'"

Fuck Boeing

Thats my point, he didnt need to testify. What he provided was enough to get an investigation going without his name ever needing to come out.

Absolute insanity. And they'll get away with it, too.

People on the right of the political spectrum whine about Hilary having people killed (conspiracy btw) but hate it when you talk about corporations doing it (something that is historical fact).
