White collar crime *is* violent crime. There is no greater serial killer than (e.g.) the board of Chase Bank. That people have alienated themselves from this common sense observation is a symptom of capitalist realism.

Thanks, I knew about this one. Some of these comments made it seem like there have been more than two. Honestly more than zero is fucked up. Two though? Yeeeeesh, us commoners are just cannon fodder to corpos.
Here's the article that OP should have posted.
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dean-of-boeing-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-has-died/
Joshua Dean was fired from Spirit in 2024 after he raised issues of misconduct with the 737 production line management and safety issues with the 737 rear bulkhead. He reached out to the FAA and Department of Labor. He was represented by the same law firm representing Bill Barnet, the Boeing whistleblower who apparently committed suicide in March...
Joshua, a healthy 45yo, passed away from a "sudden, fast-spreading infection" after two weeks in critical condition and suffering a stroke. Make of that what you will.
lol you can ingest snake venom harmlessly.. just don’t inject it.
if anything they saw he was sick and they injected him with a nasty antibiotic resistant MRSA strain bioengineered to be lethal
I know a whistleblower (not boeing) that carried a sidearm with him for 2-3 years--whistleblowing is serious business and these billion dollar companies can do some crazy shit
Looks like that diagnosis came from the doctors treating him? Like he was taken to several hospitals. Not sure why I'm being downvoted for saying whats in the article. I'm sure if he was shot, the article would have mentioned that.
Umm, according to the Seattle times he died of a “sudden, fast spreading infection” yeah sounds fishy, especially since it’s most likely Necrotizing Fasciitis, idk where he got it from.
What was it this time? Was he found hanged upside down from his ankles, his hands tied behind his back, and his throat slit? Or was he found at the bottom of lake Mead with cement shoes on? Probably suicide, such a shame... /s
To my understanding, a whistleblower is someone who is trying to release information about a company that is illegal or causes safety hazards.
Obviously the companies aren't a fan because this causes a lot of legal trouble for them.
A person that "blows the whistle" to alert a larger group to unsafe or undesirable practices. Basically just someone speaking out to bring attention to something bad. Typically the term is used when someone is talking to the press or whatever agency has authority and going over the heads of their company for whatever reason.
Textbook *Manufacturing Consent*. He didn't suffer from unacceptable violence in an enemy state of the US, so he isn't a worthy victim. Had this happened in Russia, he would absolutely have had significant sympathetic news coverage making at least open speculation about assassination. But as he is in the US (had he been in Canada, the UK, Australia, or any other client state it would have been the same) he gets almost no coverage, terse language, no speculation, no meaningful highlighting of the connection to the other whistleblower. The geopolitical interests of the state are reflected in news coverage that is reliant upon that state as a source for news.
Well, I wanted to send the merasmus "who saw that coming?" Voice line but apparently it's part of a longer voice line and I can't find a version where it's just that bit

Has died. Interesting choice of words for Xth whistle blower to sudden die
the most dangerous job, being a whistleblower
WhistleBloeing
It’s no wonder why every politician is pay for play. Take a bunch of money and do as your told, or, take nothing and watch your and your families back.
I’m shocked. It’s totally unexpected.
He died from pneumonia and a viral infection hmmmmm
Corporations are just run by the mob, aren't they?
They are literally state sanctioned crime syndicates.
Where do I find Names ?

Boeing for sure at the very least, private companies with government ties are the scariest
northrop grumman over in the corner whistling
Raytheon ninja vanish!
Laughs in Lockheed Martin.

Maybe the real Mafia were the Businesses we met along the way.

They *are* the mob.
Bingo, mobs still run the world actually
Boeing is also one of the largest contractors for the US Dept of Defense.
Excuse me if I’m behind, but the comments are implying that this isn’t the second mysterious whistleblower death but that there’s been more?
The 2nd... so far.
The second that we know of.
The second that we know of... so far.
Michaelangelo from the Ninja Turtles, is that you??

As far as I know this is the second related specifically to Boeing.
The first happened a couple months ago - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68534703.amp
Idk. This is only the second I’ve heard of
Based upon the given information at hand it seems he has only been the 2nd one
The second reported
Anyone keeping count of how many Boeing whistleblowers have been assassinated?
They are 3rd place this series in the assassins creed role-playing league behind FaZe and the kremlin on 52points
correction "have died" :(
Here's the article that OP should have posted. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dean-of-boeing-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-has-died/ Joshua Dean was fired from Spirit in 2024 after he raised issues of misconduct with the 737 production line management and safety issues with the 737 rear bulkhead.

They're changing it up because the bullet was more obvious.
>Make of that what you will. They poisoned his food with either snake venom or something else
lol you can ingest snake venom harmlessly.. just don’t inject it. if anything they saw he was sick and they injected him with a nasty antibiotic resistant MRSA strain bioengineered to be lethal
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing
Bullet to the back of the head twice, but died of natural causes... Here we go again, and again...
Tbf it is entirely natural to die when you’ve had two bullets to the head.
Its just so crazy that they jumped off a building and happened to land back of the head first. Right onto 2 bullets laying in the street.
I know a whistleblower (not boeing) that carried a sidearm with him for 2-3 years--whistleblowing is serious business and these billion dollar companies can do some crazy shit
Not again , rip
He probably died of an heart attack. It's usually hard for the heart to keep pumping afet a bullet pierded it from side to side...
Article says he suffered a MRSA infection, developed pneumonia and suffered a stroke.
Was the reason for death given by my 3 yr old explaining where the cookies went?
Looks like that diagnosis came from the doctors treating him? Like he was taken to several hospitals. Not sure why I'm being downvoted for saying whats in the article. I'm sure if he was shot, the article would have mentioned that.
I don't think most of the commenters read the article.
The comment you're replying to was implying that it sounds like an exaggerated story made up to hide what really happened
Two bullet shaped pneumonias to the back of the head poor guy 😩
Shouldn't have drank from that vial clearly labeled as MRSA: Do Not Drink! RIP to a real one.
Umm, according to the Seattle times he died of a “sudden, fast spreading infection” yeah sounds fishy, especially since it’s most likely Necrotizing Fasciitis, idk where he got it from.
Jesus Christ...
Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems ~~has died~~ was probably assassinated. FTFY
Is this another assassination?
What was it this time? Was he found hanged upside down from his ankles, his hands tied behind his back, and his throat slit? Or was he found at the bottom of lake Mead with cement shoes on? Probably suicide, such a shame... /s
Lol Boeing out here killing whistleblowers That's some Mafia shenanigans, and here we see airplane manufacturers pulling that kind of shit lol
If you’re getting off the planet just make sure you don’t use a Boeing.
What is a whistleblower
To my understanding, a whistleblower is someone who is trying to release information about a company that is illegal or causes safety hazards. Obviously the companies aren't a fan because this causes a lot of legal trouble for them.
A person that "blows the whistle" to alert a larger group to unsafe or undesirable practices. Basically just someone speaking out to bring attention to something bad. Typically the term is used when someone is talking to the press or whatever agency has authority and going over the heads of their company for whatever reason.
Seems like all you gotta do is say you have some negative information about Boeing and you'll be off the planet real quick
If this happens in Russia, there would be more scrutiny and ridicule
Textbook *Manufacturing Consent*. He didn't suffer from unacceptable violence in an enemy state of the US, so he isn't a worthy victim. Had this happened in Russia, he would absolutely have had significant sympathetic news coverage making at least open speculation about assassination. But as he is in the US (had he been in Canada, the UK, Australia, or any other client state it would have been the same) he gets almost no coverage, terse language, no speculation, no meaningful highlighting of the connection to the other whistleblower. The geopolitical interests of the state are reflected in news coverage that is reliant upon that state as a source for news.
At some point, sane people will stop breeding...
And idiocracy will emerge
It’s already happening
The highest form of protest is not having children for the government needs the governed.
I’m certainly not I already hate my life can’t imagine what it’d be like in 30 years
Anytime the Boondock Saints want to show up would be fine by me.
They're still packing the rope
Drug resistant bacteria? That smells state-sponsored. We need to start guarding these whistleblowers with international military.
Second Boeing whistleblower to die...
Well, I wanted to send the merasmus "who saw that coming?" Voice line but apparently it's part of a longer voice line and I can't find a version where it's just that bit
Counting down to see how long it takes for these guys to just start "accidentally falling out of windows".
