Second Boeing whistleblower dies in less than two months

Another whistleblower who publicly spoke out about safety issues with Boeing planes has died, less than two months after fellow whistleblower John Barnett died from a gunshot wound police have yet to finish investigating.

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first to allege wilful ignorance of manufacturing defects on the notorious 737 MAX, died after a "short and sudden illness", the Seattle Times reports.

The 45-year-old was reportedly "known for a healthy lifestyle" but fell ill and was admitted to hospital a little over two weeks ago due to breathing difficulties. He was subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia and a severe bacterial infection known as MRSA.

Despite various treatments, his condition worsened rapidly before it was revealed he had suffered a stroke, and Dean's mother posted on Facebook on April 26 that he was "fighting for his life".

He died Tuesday morning (local time), the Seattle Times quotes his aunt Carol Parsons as confirming. A Spirit spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with Josh Dean's family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones."

Boeing is deep state. They’re military industrial complex.

So who exactly do you think “murdered” this guy or had someone else “murder” him? The CEO? CFO?

Don't overlook the possibility of government officials and/or bureaucracies who were getting kickbacks or under-the-table payoffs from Boeing
or had/have some sort of clandestine or criminal program or activity to cover up.

We are running out of conspiracy theories because we find out they are true almost as soon as we can think of them!

I used to say the same thing.

Once is an accident.

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is a trend.

Four times is a pattern.

Five times is a conspiracy.

There was a quote from an old science fiction novel Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany:

Coincidence means you weren't paying attention to the other half of what was going on.
For the record, I lost interest in the book and never finished it.

The following is satire. I'm certain that Hillary von Pantsuitness would never be involved in anything nefarious.

I also believe that Joe Biden is one of the greatest thinkers and most articulate speakers of our time.

“...Exactly who - and please name names with unassailable evidence. Otherwise, this thread is just another nutty conspiracy discussion.”

Shooting from the hip there Tex.

A little premature and ridiculous to declare up-front that a disucussion of a death is “conspiracy discussion”. These people aren’t plotting anything. They are discussing the death of a whistleblower. Is that “bad” for you?

All investigations can be considered “conspiracy discussions” until they are concluded. So, what do you propose -don’t investigate? Don’t dicsuss it? Is this what you’re saying?

Qui bono?

“Unassailable evidence”? Do you have any?

Do you not know that Boeing is a Defense Contractor, a HUGE cog in the military industrial complex? Whistleblowers jeopardize Boeing’s existence. Government, specifically DOD.

Even though the plane manufacturing section is not overtly known to be DOD related, planes dropping from the sky get the attention of the hoi polloi. Cretins can’t / don’t differentiate between different compartments and departments.

You think the culture of incompetence that took over at Boeing when MIC Boeing bought out MIC McDonald Douglas only affected the civilian side of the business?

I believe I said the exact OPPOSITE. Did you not see “DOD”, “government”, etc.?

Do you suppose the CIA via the skunk works is offing Americans?
