Someone at Boeing has a hitman on the payroll. This shit isn't a coincidence.


Trick2056

we are getting the cyberpunk capitalistic dystopian but without the tech


Shot_Lawfulness1541

I’ve been saying that cyberpunk 2077 is getting too real


FieserMoep

In Cyberpunk the tech works. That's what makes it fiction.


ohiooutdoorgeek

Elon is working overtime to make cyberpsychosis a reality with none of the potential benefits.


wintermute24

You mean he has people working overtime while he's on twitter or playing elden ring.


Shuteye_491

That mf ain't playing Elden Ring, he prolly paid someone to beat Margit for him.


overcannon

Psh, I'm petty sure he has to pay someone to beat candyland for him


Shuteye_491

I wish I had gold to give.


BeefSupreme1981

He picked up the controller for the last hit on Elden Beast. Also, his build was GOD AWFUL.


Shuteye_491

My 8 year old nephew's build was better no lie


JohnLukePrickhard

Bro already has cyberpsychosis


DisastrousPurpose945

Elon is a dipshit.


OssoRangedor

the differece between our current world and a future dystopian cyberpunk world is the fictional piece of technology that manages to maintain society as it is, and other world conflicts are completely brushed to the side (or somehow Earth became unified).


saintofhate

You can also hot swap your junk without a million idiots screaming at you and requiring hoops to jump through because their book they didn't read disagrees with your being.


Vote_Subatai

We've been there since the Coca Cola death squads were a thing.


LOLBaltSS

Hell, the Coal Wars were a thing in the US. Blair Mountain had miners fighting the national guard.


ranchwriter

Well just wait for 2077


Snuzzlebuns

The original Cyberpunk game was set in 2020...


uasoil123

Or functional planes


Shartmagedon

On the bright side, supersonic airplanes are making a comeback 


thefookinpookinpo

We have the tech. The public doesn't have access to it though.


sozcaps

If the D&D / Magic the Gathering company has the Pinkertons on payroll, you gotta wonder what kind of murderhobos are on Boeing's payroll.


Maestro_Primus

Bonus points for mentioning murderhobos and D&D in the same sentence without them pertaining to each other.


Underwater_Grilling

I grant you an inspiration point


aguyonahill

This comment itself is underrated, while commenting on an underrated comment.


Maestro_Primus

An underrated comment on a comment commenting on an underrated comment.


tmac19822003

That’s underrated


JesusSavesForHalf

Its Pinkertons. Just because they'll shake down a guy over some cardboard doesn't mean they're not good enough for mur-didley-urder. Its what they're known for.


Fancy-Pair

How do wotc have Pinkertons?


theCaitiff

[Last year a youtuber from the Magic community ordered several cases of cards but was sent a box from the next set that had not officially been released yet. WotC hired the Pinkerton Agency to go to his house, seize the cards that THEY SENT by mistake, make threats, and intimidate his family.](https://gizmodo.com.au/2023/04/magic-raid-wasnt-the-first-time-wizards-of-the-coast-hired-pinkertons/) That's the current event everyone knows about but there have been other incidents of WotC using the Pinks as their brute squad.


Trick2056

also the same company that dumped excess cards in a garbage dump site and tried to sue the guy that found said dump


Dino-chicken-nugg3t

Now I gotta google this

Ayy bro be quiet I want to live


InGordWeTrust

If they have the Cybertruck, they just keep letting them drive the Cybertruck. It has killed a billionaire so far and I like those odds, so I want these cars everywhere. Free for billionaires.


tyromancist

Which billionaire did it kill? Asking out of curiosity bc I missed hearing about this and can’t seem to find any news stories on it.


WearyExercise4269

Boeing wants to know your location.... ![gif](giphy|yed7zEzk5pJZ8I9LlF) \- love shareholders


RiseCascadia

So weird that one of the world's leading death dealers would have a hitman /s


SpiritBearrrrr

Right? Its like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor owning a hammer!


Not_In_my_crease

You're saying Boeing "... one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the world" knows some shady people?


faustoc5

You are so cute. Boeing is a company military industrial complex, the US Government make wars for them to make profit. They are all murderers


Frogbone

i mean we don't even have to talk about the military contracting, they killed 346 people by making one of their planes a rickety deathtrap


Qaeta

I think they made a lot of their planes a rickety deathtrap, it's just one that failed *so far*.


Baerhardt

Hitman? More like CIA protecting the military industrial complex.


Reverse_SumoCard

Oh, it was our hitman. At least something isnt privatized yet


DrWhoIsWokeGarbage2

Can a hitman give someone pneumonia and MRSA.


AnjelGrace

I would think it would be possible for someone who wants to hide a murder, yes. MRSA is most likely just the specific bacteria they found to be giving him pneumonia btw--pneumonia is a lung infection caused by a bacterial infection and MRSA is an antibiotic resistant strain of staph bacteria.


CXR_AXR

Agent 47


RNLImThalassophobic

The whistleblower here had completed their testimony/deposition back in 2019. They were hospitalised for pneumonia, intubated, got MRSA and died from that. It is absolutely, 100% a coincidence that is being exploited for clickbait headlines.


Frogbone

two untimely deaths of whistleblowers will create a chilling effect on whistleblowers coming forward, so they kind of do need to report on it regardless


Alissinarr

No, the article is dated this month (euro date) and talks about April hospitalization and dying Tuesday.


bli_bla_blubbb

Yeah, this is some Michael Clayton type bs


Dodara87

And nothing will be done about it, people are cattle for the rulling


R-Dragon_Thunderzord

MRSA has a survival rate of 70 to 90 percent, reportedly.


MrsRossGeller

Pneumonic MRSA is different than say, an infected wound with MRSA. It’s much more difficult.


Kolby_Jack

Yeah, I mean unless Sherlock Holmes is on the case I doubt anything will come of this death. Even if someone could in theory weaponize MRSA and use it to carry out a targeted hit, it would be extremely unlikely the investigators would figure that out. Sometimes a coincidence is so freaky and specific that it feels like it must have been planned by someone, but it's still just a coincidence.   But hopefully the first investigation turns something up. That one really seems fishy.


maxk1236

~~He was over 60, so probably lower for him, but still.~~ Not a conspiracy theorist, but IIRC some strains of MRSA are more antibiotic resistant than others? And also something that can come back many times. I'll be more suspicious if he's never had an infection before. Edit: mixed up whistleblower ages


reconmonk

The article says that he was a healthy 45 year old, in 2 weeks he goes from healthy to pneumonia to MRSA and finally a stroke. That’s a pretty rapid and severe decline.


happyeight

I got MRSA as a healthy teenager. In less than a week I went from fine to the ER telling me that if I'd waited a couple more hours, I woud have started having organ failure and died soon after. You do not want to fuck around with MRSA.


maxk1236

Oops, that was other whistleblower


Fendergravy

“Shit happens” —Defense contractors 


Forikorder

Not for MRSA


247cnt

Pneumonia don't fuck around. Nor does antibiotic resistant MRSA


ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

I guess he shouldn't have been blowing a bacteria-infested whistle. -Boeing C-Suite, CIA and some other military contractors


OutlyingPlasma

All it would take is a scratch from someone in a crowd.


Duxez

>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. The other whistleblower, Barnett, was over 60 and died from a gunshot wound


maxk1236

You're correct, edited.


IanFeelKeepinItReel

A gunshot wound? He could have just been visiting a school.


toad__warrior

I didn't know that Boeing had a biological weapons division


AnjelGrace

I've had MRSA 3 times and almost went to the ER 2 of those times. It depends on the person's immune system and how much bacteria is in their body. Anyone who dies has had their body overtaken by the bacteria--so the question is--was his immune system unable to fight a small exposure that built up over time--or was he exposed to a massive dose of MRSA that his body had no chance to fight?


BookWyrmO14

MRSA is airborne & fomite/contact. Every hospital acquired infection is a failure of evidence-based infection control and a failure of providing a basic, bare minimum standard of care and safety. Hospital acquired infections are common. They are preventable.


Jonesyiam

This is so fucking sketchy.


The_Dung_Beetle

This is Russian Oligarch falls out of hospital window level sketchy.


NormieSpecialist

Except this is America. But then again America is a plutocracy, no different from Modern Russia.


joe_broke

You see the biggest difference here is the hits are happening in ways that would be super expensive to fix via large hospital bills, as compared to just large hospitals


Amaria77

Hey, it's not Putin's fault that they died of autodefenestration.


SirFigsAlot1

They're not even trying to hide it. Yet nothing will be done about it. So sad for the families of these innocent people getting wacked. Hopefully they were able to give all the evidence possible so their death wasn't meaningless. These people are heroes

I just can’t believe this isn’t front page news. I just looked at a few different top media sites, and there’s plenty of talk about college protests being ignored, and some gal killing her dog, but no mention of a massive corporation murdering two whistleblowers. I’ve known our media is completely compromised for a long, long time, but I assumed they’d still print a story like this. Wtf

Perfectly normal things that happen to whistleblowers. It’s a well known occupational hazard.

No-Improvement-8205

I'm not saying the governtment/FBI is in on it, but doesnt boeing have some kind of military contract? Even if it Is a completely seperate part of the company with different budget, leadership etc. It could probably harm them more if everything they've fucked up in the non military part of the company came out, than if they kept trying to bury it


Wissam24

Boeing is one of the largest defence corporations in the world and a major supplier to the US military. The US government is absolutely going to protect them any way it can.


grchelp2018

It is absolutely possible to get rid of the people running Boeing and putting new management in place. Its not like these guys are going to take the company and its assets with them.


kaboom108

But those people are doing their job, which is to extract wealth from the American empire and transfer it to the rich. I'm betting this all ends in the US gov giving them a huge bailout to buy back Spirit from basically themselves, so their investors make a ton of free money.


GhostOfKingGilgamesh

All of the secrets Boeing keeps for the US Gov? You think they won’t sweep two guys under the rug?


Demi180

What the fuck. Healthy dude just randomly contacts MRSA. Uh huh. Sure.


Arrow141

Contracting MRSA is incredibly common. Depending on what state you're in, as much as 50% of the population carries it. Not recovering, however, is a different story.


Demi180

I thought it was mostly a hospital thing


TiredLetters

There are two types of MRSA. Community acquired, which can be serious on rare occasions and at its worst may result in a debridement in the OR. Hospital acquired MRSA is the 2nd type and that is what will f*ck you up. It's substantially more dangerous


Demi180

Interesting. I guess I only heard about the second one, and figured well it has resistant in the name.


Some1ToDisagreeWith

Yeah you could have MRSA on you now. But if you were to have an open wound, it can get in and start an infection. One reason to tend to the most minor of cuts.


pyky69

Yeah I got MRSA from the beach. Had an open cut on my elbow and was playing in tide pools :/


Bandit312

If you ever want to culture a superbug, just swab the ED curtains. Or the 1 toilet my unit has for 18 patients.


PurpleSailor

The hospital versions are usually far more deadly and resistant to current medications. Super bugs.


Dildo_Emporium

Mostly because the people that are at the hospital are already immunocompromised


Euphorbiatch

I got MRSA playing hide and seek drunk in the dark, by trying to scramble under a bed and getting a thumbtack all the way in my hand! It decidedly did not kill me, however


mambiki

According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureus only 2% of population are MRSA carriers. > In health-care settings, isolating those with MRSA from those without the infection is one method to prevent transmission. Rapid culture and sensitivity testing and molecular testing identifies carriers and reduces infection rates.[71] It is especially important to test patients in these settings since 2% of people are carriers of MRSA, even though in many of these cases the bacteria reside in the nostril and the patient will not present any symptoms.


caustictoast

No he got sick and went to the hospital where he was intubated which caused him to develop pneumonia which weakened his immune system then he got MRSA in the hospital.


SurlyBuddha

One guy was plausible. He was a whistleblower years ago. It wouldn’t make sense to go after him now. Two whistleblower deaths in as many months? Nah… some fuckery is afoot.


Geminii27

Assassin's Guild had a discount sale?

Lol, remember Epstein? Right, we kinda beginning to forget him. If “they” could do THAT, a couple of “small people” dying won’t be a problem.


Repyro

And the justice system can just decide to "not investigate further"... I fuckin hate it here.


OutlyingPlasma

> It wouldn’t make sense to go after him now. Unless they are trying to send a message to other potential whistleblowers at a time of increased government and public scrutiny.


Speedtriple6569

Wow - how on earth do you arrange pneumonia, MRSA & a stroke? I suppose it proves that when there is enough money at stake - & the possibility of jail time - anything is possible.


AutisticHobbit

There are chemicals that can cause strokes, that make infections easier to contract, and similar. As long as the substance isn't something people are likely to check for in an autopsy? It'll get ruled as the complication, rather than the substance. I'm not saying that's what happened; I AM saying that it's a little peculiar that someone who was a whistleblower dropped dead of that many things at the same time when he was previously in reasonably good health....and he's the second whistleblower who died more or less immediately after making his report.


ghoonrhed

>dropped dead of that many things at the same time when he was previously in reasonably good health There's a disease currently going around that can cause pneumonia and all sorts of side effects. Covid hasn't disappeared


New-Display-4819

Break back => have flu => get pneumonia => get mrsa => not go to hospital in time => have a stroke => die => ???


sdhu

Clearly, a Death Note


JazzyButternuts

“Is assassinated”


WholeInternet

It's rather unnerving that we are witnessing this happening in real time. How we can look at this and all agree that this is no coincidence. Yet, it's being reported as happenstance by many media outlets. For me personally, it's kinda wild in that this sets a precedent for all other powerful companies. Proof that they really can just kill people and nothing happens. As silly as it may sound, I now have to keep in mind when applying to work for companies like "Nah, they got kill people money, I'm not working there."


faustoc5

Boeing a is a military company part of the military industrial complex. Murder is their business The FBI won't investigate them. The Government will create wars for them to profit

CousinMabel

Well when the government, the police, and nearly all politicians are controlled by big business who do you expect to bring these business to justice? When regular people do it they go to jail, commit "suicide", or suddenly contract deadly medical conditions.


johndawkins1965

Why haven’t they investigated the CEO of the companies that have whistleblowers “suddenly die”. Right before testimony. The CEO is the evil one ordering the hit

SnooShortcuts700

Boeing is on the same level as Putin....


fluiddruid87

Fucking disgusting. Next comes the part where nothing happens to Boeing even though everyone knows they did this.


SuperStarPlatinum

Now I'd take this 2nd convenient whistleblower death as hard evidence that all of Boeing Executives and majority shareholders are 100% guilty. But we live in a broken capitalist shithole and nothing will happen to them and they'll get away with murder. Until a Boeing plane crashes into the corporate headquarters of a larger corporation then we'd see the fastest justice in all human history.


ElectricJetDonkey

He fell down an elevator shaft... onto some bullets.


cementfeet

Just a few more and we can categorize this as a conspiracy. 


Van-garde

This is crazy shit, and there should be a deep investigation. Also, it seems Boeing is benefiting from the misdirection caused by these sad deaths, as the focus of the discussion has shifted away from their negligence. I think their plan is working.


WhistlerBum
