He was represented by the same legal company as Dean Barnett, who died from a gunshot.

      They want to be considered people to influence the government, they should be tried as people and everyone running it receives the same sentence.

        To quote david rovics- “coke is the drink of the death squads.”

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindicato_Nacional_de_Trabajadores_de_la_Industria_de_Alimentos

        Coca cola supposedly hired the AUC.

    It’s important to remember that Boeing isn’t JUST a plane company, but a government contractor that does a massive amount of rocket work for the armed forces.

    There are more people than stock holders that have a vested interest in Boeing.

      Doubt it. He couldn’t do it in his first term why the fuck would he suddenly be able to make it happen the second term? He’s a pile of shit but he wouldn’t ever make it happen.

      Obligatory fuck Trump comment.

    At his age it’s pretty normal to die from a stroke, if you are 20 years older.

      Looks like the stroke was a complication from a systemic MRSA infection, which would not be my assassination agent of choice if I was trying to kill somebody on purpose, even if I did want it to look like an accident. MRSA only kills about 1 in 4 people infected with it, and many of those are people who are already hospitalized for some other serious illness. It strikes me as a rather low-probability way to kill a healthy adult.

        I really hate it when this sort of thing happens. If you read into this particular death, it looks like a tragic series of unfortunate events and not anything nefarious. The earlier whistleblower death looked truly suspicious and I don’t fault people for that one, but this one just isn’t. Now this family is going to be dealing with a conspiracy and hounded by insane people while trying to grieve their loved one. I wish people could really look into these things instead of just reacting because Boeing has been sketchy lately.

          But you spoke as if its already happening. in fact your post reads as if you are replying to someone? Honestly if anyone is coming off as a bot its you dude. I, of course, don’t think you are but…your post makes absolutely no sense in the current context.

      It’s impossible though. The whistleblower has to whistle to someone from the government. Corps like Boeing pay a lot to many people from the government. In case of Boeing they also pay with the taxpayers money that the government gave them. Which is funny because those whistleblowers likely payed for their own murder.

        Wichita Kansas is where Spirit is. New Zealand is about as far as it gets from there. Reporters in New Zealand are just regurgitating what they read from more local sources. Being well informed requires good journalism and that requires access to sources so ya I stand by my statement to seek out more local articles

    @Dasus@lemmy.world Man, if Boeing had only sung or used nonviolent resistance, I’ll bet these whistleblowers would have backed down as witnesses.

    Also, tankman is dead. He got ran over by a tank. He really showed them.

      This guy got so angry at being called out for not having been in the military (as I’m in the reserves and still a conditional pacifist by conviction) and only being able to come up with inane violence fantasies that he had to tag me in another thread.

      Go read the original conversation here. Guess he had to try to make a new one, due to getting downvoted quite hard in the actual one for the admittedly silly things he said. :/

      Go buff your Walmart pistols, that’ll make you feel safer.

        you know what? you’ve inspired me. believe it or not, i am a person who can change their mind. i’m going to play devil’s advocate here and take up the opposite position to what you propose, not because i want to prove i’m right but because you’ve taken the time to back up your argument with cited examples. i appreciate that. should we start a new thread somewhere? i’m new to lemmy so i’m not exactly sure where the right place would be. i have a lot to do today, so i won’t be able to counter you quickly.

        let me just say that i’m not angry (well… i’m angry, but not at you). i recognize that we’re on the same side and i don’t want to disparage a fellow comrade. i respect the fact that you’ve had military training, and if i can prove you wrong, i hope that you would take a second look at the value you provide to the cause.

        we’ll discuss this more, hopefully.

      He did not. There are lesser known photos showing him leaving the street. I think a lot of people haven’t seen those.

      I’m sure the Chinese government disposed of him if they were able to identify him. But as far as I know he’s never been identified. I hope not. Brave motherfucker.

          I’ve seen the pictures on Reddit, years ago. After blocking the tank for a while, he walked off the street going left. He was not run over by the tanks in that column at least.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
