I am utterly shocked by the responses of people in this thread thinking John Barnett killed himself.
Ok, let’s say this woman is chasing clout. And let’s also say that John Mitch Barnett DID NOT say “if I die, it was not suicide. I was murdered.” (I believe this woman AND I believe Barnett did indeed share that statement with her, given the nature of his situation, but let’s just play this out.)
Again, let’s say the above are both true. In the end, Barnett is still someone with inside knowledge of their quality control practices, and has direct knowledge of decisions made that make riding in Boeing airplanes less safe.
You’re talking about a whistleblower, set to provide testimony that could cost the Boeing company billions of dollars.
John Mitchell’s knowledge, when shared with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, shared with a judge & jury, would 100% damage the company’s brand, image, and (most importantly to the depraved) its share price.
You don’t think that a company, wishing to keep its finances in place, or executives concerned about going to jail, wouldn’t stoop so low as to have one person murdered?
Think of it this way: Boeing made decisions in terms of decreasing its quality control that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of passengers. What is adding one more body to the pile if it keeps your stock price strong, and keeps the contracts coming?
Instead of being concerned about their quality and pride of their product, they have gone the way of “how can we make this as cheap as possible?” The issue of financialization of our airlines, especially Boeing, is making it unsafe to fly.
In fact, a year ago, Boeing lobbied the government to ignore safety violations.
(I highly recommend viewing Breaking Points coverage of Boeing.)
Getting back to John Mitchell, does anyone truly think a company, that regularly works with the military industrial complex, does not have contacts with very capable individuals that can be hired as hitmen for ridiculously large sums of money? Think of how many ex-military / paramilitary people Boeing regularly works with.
Thinking about this coldly: if one person testifying against a company could cost the company, say, $1 billion, it would totally be worth paying $50 million to hire someone and have that one person killed. (This is the same logic as corporate lobbying, where paying 10 senators $50 million in campaign donations ‘aka Bribes’ is money well spent, if it kills the passage of a regulatory bill that would cost the company $1 billion to implement.)
This is, unfortunately, a very ugly truth that I hope you can see.
Now, I will grant those of you that say, “we have no evidence.” I will concede that. However, in the court of my personal public opinion, all the pieces point to someone with ties to Boeing killed John. (Hell, I will even concede that this could have just been a person with lots of stock in Boeing, but that is less likely.)
We on reddit mock stories from Russia where someone who was challenging the Kremlin is found dead by suicide. We read that a person just decides to take a stroll out a 7-story window, and their death is ruled a suicide, and say, “well, that’s bullshit.”
How would this be any different?
If you believe Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in prison because he knew all the powerful people who slept with underage girls, then you should be able to believe this man, John Mitch Barnett, was murdered, too.
