YET ANOTHER WHISTLEBLOWER CONNECTED TO BOEING HAS PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY AND MYSTERIOUSLY
It’s hard to know what to make of this news, besides the sudden cynical flex coloring all judgement. You have likely heard a little something or other over Boeing and its safety issues, government investigations, lost evidence (conveniently destroyed evidence?), obfuscation, and lastly the death of John Barnett in March. Barnett was a whistleblower set to do more interviews with investigators the very same day he supposedly committed suicide. The timing was decidedly suspect, and Barnett’s family and friends were… skeptical. But who knows? I certainly thought it seemed suspicious at the time. But that was back in March. Now, it’s May, and yet another whistleblower connected to Boeing has died suddenly.

WHISTLEBLOWER WAS HEALTHY, ONLY 45, BUT SOMEHOW GOT A DEADLY STAPH INFECTION
Just take that in. It sounds terrible. But the circumstances don’t an easy conspiracy theory make. The whistleblower who also just died was 45-year-old and otherwise healthy Joshua Dean. Dean was a quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, a Boeing supplier. Dean was in several legal battles with Spirit before his death after he was fired in April, 2023. He alleged that he was fired as retaliation for raising safety concerns. Huh. As I recall, Barnett also had safety concerns (to say the least). Dean filed a Department of Labor complaint over his firing, filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration, and gave a deposition for a Spirit shareholder lawsuit.

YET ANOTHER POSSIBLE LEGAL ISSUE, THIS TIME FOR ACQUISITION, DISAPPEARS FOR BOEING
In other words, Dean was a thorn in Spirit’s side. And now, he’s dead after suffering a sudden staph infection, spending two weeks in critical condition before passing. It’s not clear how he got the very anti-biotic resistant infection. Boeing used to own spirit until 2005 but has been interested in buying it back again. Spirit makes a number of key parts for Boeing planes, including various model fuselages. So a cynic might point out that a major thorn in Spirit’s legal side being gone could make things easier for Boeing to quietly reacquire it.
But that thorn is gone, pulled from the tapestry by a mysterious staph infection. Lightning keeps striking Boeing obstacles from its path.
