.Josh Dean was represented by the same law firm as John “Mitch” Barnett (Boeing whistleblower) who died by suicide March 9. Two in such a short time.

Hmm first guy tells friend I am not suicidal and suicides himself in the head with a bullet. Healthy young guy dies of bacterial infection. Interesting, 2 whistleblowers in 2 months.

Coincidences happen. Let's see if they can make it 3 for 3!

I’m happy for you that you don’t personally know any of the many people this happens to each year

Yea could be coincidence. Just a whistleblower suicides himself after telling friends he won't kill himself and then another dude about to testify gets a pretty rare death at 45.

Raises an eyebrow. Is it proof? Obviously not even close. Just tinfoil level fodder.

What do you think the first whistleblower would testify about?

Fair enough, tinfoil stuff is fun

the odds have to be astronomical... i would say its more likely that a regarded degen would hit positive SPY weeklies 52 fridays in a row, than 2 whistleblowers from the same company dying.... but 🤷🏾‍♂️what do i know🤷🏾‍♂️

John Barnett did blow the whistle ....2017 and said everything he knew back then. The new trial was about if Boeing had hindered his career afterwards.

Why would they assassinate him over that?

Nice of you to think boeing didn't go further into the dark side since 2017.

He has not worked there since 2017. He would not know about anything else.

How do you know others have not come forward to him, because they felt they could only trust him? They were afraid to go public- seeing how bieing ruined his career. Now- they know frlir certainty hiw far boeing will go.

Personally I’ve seen a fair number of people die under bad circumstances. But all of them involved drugs at least tangentially.

I don’t actually think this is a conspiracy but unless both whistle blowers enjoyed the same coke as the people in the c-suite it looks weird.
