Boeing Whistleblower Dies Mysteriously While Giving Testimony Attesting to Company’s Willful Negligence

A former Boeing employee who became a whistleblower after retiring from the company was found mysteriously dead from a “suicide” while he was giving testimony attesting to the company’s willful negligence when constructing planes.

John Barnett worked for Boeing for 30 years until he retired in 2017, which included time as a quality manager at a Boeing plant in North Charleston. He oversaw the production of the 787 Dreamliner and attested that workers were pressured by Boeing to use sub-standard parts to fill production quotas. He also claimed to find problems with oxygen masks that were being put into planes despite being faulty in many instances.

Barnett’s corpse was found on Saturday, dying from a so-called “self-inflicted” gun shot wound. This has fueled speculation that Barnett received the Jeffrey Epstein treatment because he was too outspoken about Boeing’s alleged misdeeds. Making things even more suspicious, Barnett “committed suicide” as he was in the midst of giving damning testimony against Boeing. Barnett was in the process of a series of day-long interviews and was scheduled to give more testimony on Saturday, but never showed up and then was found suddenly dead.

“We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends,” Boeing said in response to the news.

Some of Barnett’s remarks attesting to Boeing’s willful neglect can be seen here:

Candid footage was captured by undercover journalists at the Boeing plant where employees admitted they would never fly on a 787 Dreamliner because of how shoddy the planes are made:

FAA regulators found after a six-week inquiry into Boeing that there are “multiple instances where the company allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements.”

Big League Politics has reported on how the quality of Boeing aircraft is sharply decreasing because of their embrace of underpaid, underqualified foreign workers:

“Boeing has been under fire lately for several deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircrafts in 2019.

Bloomberg did a report back in 2019 spilling the beans on what potentially could have caused these crashes.

According to Boeing engineering veterans, the software mistakes that led to the deadly crashes, were allegedly the result of “a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors.”

The Max software was developed when Boeing was down-sizing and cutting experienced engineers. The aerospace company was also pressing suppliers to cut costs.

According to Mark Robin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max, recent college graduates working for Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd. occupied several rows of desks in offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field.

The HCL coders were usually making designs according to specifications from Boeing.  However, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin claimed. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.”‘

Boeing is no more or less evil than any other major defense contractor serving the military-industrial complex. They thrive on death and destruction and won’t hesitate to get rid of any person who stands in the way of their ruthless blood driven profit-seeking.
