    why are people in this thread acting as if he’s just admitted to ordering hits on whistleblowers

        To be fair only the first was a surprise mysterious suicide.
        The second was sick for years and died because of that.

          Even the 1st wasn’t that mysterious if you read more than headlines. John very likely did kill himself. He had already lost his civil suit against Boeing for damages. Was trying to appeal that case. It very likely wasn’t going anywhere. Because if he had a case Boeing could have quietly settled before the initial trial.

          The case also had nothing to do with current Boeing practices as John retired in 2017. John was suing for defamation.

      We will never know if Boeing did it… But we do know how these companies are, so I am just assuming this they did until proven otherwise.

      You can always count the corpo trash to do crime… 24/7

      We obviously haven’t read the article, yet feel entitled to comment on it all the same! /s bc not having read it myself, I just presume that’s the case 🤣.

      More importantly, why are you surprised at that?

      Social media is more about feelings than facts, especially when it comes to precision in the details - the barrier to speak is very low, on purpose, to allow us to vent our frustrations at the world being unfair and corrupt and twisted.

      In this case it is fairly understandable - he is a very bad man who did very bad things. He has now admitted to a subset of the badness, and people wish that he had gone further to admit it all, so people talk as if that were the case.

      Again, that’s just my guess, but we cannot control the world, only ourselves.
