And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.

Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

Jeffrey Epstein. Imagine how many people whose names you haven’t heard just randomly committed suicide one day. Or had an accident. Or just disappeared.

Victoria Giuffre more recently in regards to Epstein.

she also said quite publicly that she’s not suicidal and she would never do that to her family, and if that happened she was suicided…

Yeah I know. Sadly this doesn't get any bigger media representation.

I had thought she was in renal failure and her ex husband wouldn't let her see her kids

the most interesting part to me is that nowhere along the line did anyone mention just how interesting it all is. you know the real bad shit has started when the press shuts up and universities bend over and one of the richest people in the fucking world has to re-think his pricing displays because it pissed off the King.

edit to add - he put a fucking tax on british tea without congress. that's a taxation without representation. on british fucking tea.

This is honestly a subject I get annoyed about. The US has ‘whistleblower’ protections but it’s really not there. This isn’t a black-op opp, it’s a failure of protections/proper compensations for blowing the whistle. Imagine you’ve spent your whole life dedicated to one field of engineering. You’ve now sacrificed it to blow the whistle. It’s not fair, nor is it just, but that’s what happens.

Boeing has done so much wrong that it honestly feels negligent to focus on a perceived assassination. And it directs attention away from how whistleblowers could be protected

You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don't blow the whistle

He wasn’t rich enough for anyone to care about.
