can think of several...you? the world we live in now is very dangerous...Barnett had accused the plane manufacturer of retaliating against him after he flagged problems he saw at Boeing’s 787 factory
When I was stationed in DC, I did visit Ft. Marcy Park where Vince Foster apparently committed suicide. I thought, why would a person drive out here to do it?
One "benefit" about his body being found there was that the Park Police would investigate. Not a lot of experience in death investigations.
Whistle blowers are typically murdered and /or imprisoned . The list is long..Assange, Epstein, Snowden escaped to Russia, Bobalinski hired security, Phil Haney was murdered…the Thalidomide whistle blower was imprisoned
Trump is responsible for Assange being dragged out of the embassy and thrown into prison. Everything that has happened to him since is because of Trump. Biden is just continuing what Trump started.
Snowden actually had his passport cancelled when he was changing planes in Russia. And let’s not forget Michael Hastings whose car sped into a tree. I never heard what story he was walking on. I guess that was the point.
Regarding this death of a Boeing whistleblower: Yes this is what corporatism does when threatened--destroys and even kills those who speak out. Julian Assange is an even bigger case which will effect our freedom of speech First Amendment right!
Kennedy Beacon did a good piece on this 'suicide' of a whistleblower today:
And this is exactly what Trump means when he promotes a Private/Government partnership! No regulations for either worker/public safety or labor rights which most people, even on the right count on for their protection of wages and benefits. In fact this case demonstrates how easy it is for big money to exert control over what the public hears and what happens to those who confront it. Censorship in the press and character assassination is only one level of control they employ.
It’s mind boggling how many people are in favor of decreasing regulations because they think they cost too much money for the corporations.
And since most of our utilities have been privatized the costs for them keep going up. Look at what PG&E has gotten away with in California. No one makes them keep their lines free from trees that catch on fire every time the wind blows.
Texas electric failed during the cold snap and it was the people who bore the cost.
Hey…remember during the Bush era when DEA agents were caught taking the drugs they were supposed to be outlawing? Did anything change after that?
You touch on a real sore point with me: privatized utility corps! In NYS the regulatory agency, the PSC, is a revolving door betw the Utility, Govt, and fuel industry allies. Public utilities, which were very well run cost about 30-50% of private utilities and that was about 40-50 yrs ago. Private Utilities sold their story to government about how much more efficient they would be and I am sure there was money involved as it always is.
I think many on the de-regulation train are caught up in the GOP/Libertarian mantra about the evils of government and regulation which they claim taxes the working people. I also have talked with many small business people who are of this ilk as they see how much they are required to pay in taxes so they see deregulation as their buddy. Just very short sighted.
Of course the big problem is the the people, at large, paid no attention, expected government to do their job without public oversight and now complain about having no control. That is our real fight--gaining real control over the agencies and stop being subservient to the ruling elite and their mouthpieces, the elected politicians.
And I certainly remember the DEA and its hands in the drug pile. No wonder they opposed deregulation of marijuana! And then there was the CIA and opium transporting during Viet Nam from Thailand or Cambodia (forget which). Do you recall them packing it into dead bodies of American soldiers? Ghoulish!
Barnett, 62, was found dead in his truck in a hotel car park in South Carolina (on March 9), where he had been giving evidence against his former employer (Boeing) in a whistleblower lawsuit and had been expected to attend court for further questioning.
Has there ever been a time when you know, other than on a TV detective show, an alleged suicide has ever led to apprehension of a murderer? If you know of one let me know. I can’t think of any. From where I sit, suiciding someone appears, historically, to be the perfect crime.
Call me cynical and skeptical but right away I doubted his suicide.
Was Hillary seen in the vicinity?
No, Vincent (what was his surname?) was.
Vince Foster?
Thank you, Kathleen. Read this in National Review at that time.

Lured out there by H herself only to encounter his demise st the hand of a hitman?
Either that or killed in the White House, rolled up in a rug, and dumped at Ft. Marcy Park?
Read the story in National Review at the time--thanks for your (always valuable) input
There is no way this was suicide!!! So many “coincidences “. Will there be further investigation??? I doubt it 😢
Whistle blowers are typically murdered and /or imprisoned . The list is long..Assange, Epstein, Snowden escaped to Russia, Bobalinski hired security, Phil Haney was murdered…the Thalidomide whistle blower was imprisoned
Let’s not forget Seth Rich
Absolutely, should be at the top of the list
Phil Haney. The FBI took all the evidence. Then no word.

It was in a hotel parking lot. There should be CCTV footage available for skeptical people, like myself.
‘Oh, those CCTV cameras were down for repair that night. Tragic coincidence’
Sounds like the Epstein cell block.
JK - def self-inflicted… lol

This is terrible. I don't beleive it was suicide.
To me looks like the work of the Satan Gates/WEF/WHO/UN Cult!?
One article described the position of his hand and the gun. Sure sounds staged!

Bill and Hillary agree.
He who tells the truth - needs a really faaaaaaaast horse . . .
Is this another Boeing whistle-blower, or the same one from last week found dead?
Same.
Brave John Barnett.
No way did this man commit suicide. RIP.
