Boeing whistleblower predicted his own death, told friend ‘if anything happens, it’s not suicide’
“He wasn’t concerned about [his own] 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.’”
Honestly this is one of the outcomes I fear the most of the future:
The convenience and ease of simply killing those who cause your company/organization issues.
Killing this dude was probably cheaper for Boeing than dealing with him in any semi-legitimate ways. Why bother bankrupting him with a lawsuit that will cost your own company hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe millions even) when you can just eliminate him with a few cheap goons?
This will also likely send out shockwaves of fear towards anyone else who wants to do something similar.
Seeing this in politics and certain corrupt industries like trucking was bad enough, but if it becomes a norm for megacorps one wonders what the recourse will be, besides never going alone anywhere and always carrying enough weapons to handle anything they decide to throw at you (and who knows if even that will be enough).
All it takes is a moment of vulnerability, He was expecting it and they still got him.
Boeing needs to have the fucking military (as in, the non-corrupt and actually capable part of it) investigate them at this point.
One of Boeing's biggest clients is the military. Probably THE biggest. They've definitely already investigated them.
