00:00:00There's not many things in life that I'm afraid of. I think my fears are pretty reasonable, not necessarily odd, like the fear of dying, or being stuck out in open water with no way out, or something being located on the top shelf that I have to struggle to reach.
00:00:16But one fear that I do have that I actually get ridiculed for is my fear of flying. I have a very intense phobia of planes. I don't have a fear of heights, it's just being on a plane. You don't need to spit all the facts at me, I know all the statistics, it's the safest form of travel, really it's the safest thing humans do on a regular basis. It's probably more safe than me sitting in this chair right now.
00:00:38I get all of that. I know it's an irrational fear, but I can't shake it, it's just deep-seated. And I've flown 10-15 times across the 29 years of my life, and every single time it's an anxiety-inducing, miserable experience, I just absolutely despise it.
00:00:53Recently I've started to feel kind of vindicated in this fear though, whereas before I was made the fool, people, you know, painted me as a clown for being afraid of flying, they couldn't wrap their head around why I'd be afraid of it.
00:01:03Now there's been a lot of people coming over to my side over here, because Boeing's been in some hot water. Their planes have just been falling apart in the skies, like the door blowing off, like all kinds of terrible things happening with Boeing's aircrafts.
00:01:16It's been aviation apocalypse for that company, and there was a Boeing whistleblower, who was in an active lawsuit with Boeing, who turned up dead under very peculiar circumstances.
00:01:31And now Boeing's CEO, as well as other top executives, are stepping down from the company, so it's just been this septic tank exploding with shit spraying everywhere here. A lot is going on behind the scenes at Boeing, and it's all very odd.
00:01:45Now, as most of you know, I run a show called Red Thread with Jackson and Windigoon, where we dive into cryptids, conspiracies, cults, and cold cases, and we recently tackled the Boeing whistleblower conspiracy, which is about the Boeing whistleblower not taking his own life, but actually being murdered by Boeing for revealing the Krabby Patty secret formula to their aircrafts, which is basically scrap metal.
00:02:11He was talking about all of these awful, like safety violations and oversights for their aircrafts, where they were knowingly putting scrap metal onto their planes, they weren't following protocol, they were doing a lot of shady things, keeping a lot of things off the books on purpose to meet production deadlines.
00:02:29He was a higher up in Boeing when it comes to their aircraft safety and making sure everything functions properly, and he was really concerned and disappointed with how Boeing was handling things, so he started to reveal this information, break the magician's code, and now he's no longer with us.
00:02:48And the circumstances around his death are very odd.
00:02:52So, I just wanted to talk about this and show you clips from that Red Thread episode, because since a lot of you know I'm afraid of flying, I've been asked a lot about my opinion on Boeing and the whistleblower situation and all of that, and it's one that I've been paying extremely close attention to and following every step of the way.
00:03:09So, here's all the Boeing whistleblower conspiracy information, as well as my take on all of it.
00:03:16To really start picking apart the problems with Boeing, I think it's important to give a little bit of a history lesson behind them, so I'm going to play this clip from the Red Thread episode that kind of sets the stage for why everything changed so quickly for Boeing after a merger gone wrong with a fucking parasitic infestation that took over the company from the inside out.
00:03:35So, 1997, Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas, which is now often seen as a misaligned merger.
00:03:42The merger was worth over $13 billion.
00:03:44McDonnell Douglas had found it increasingly harder and harder to compete with Boeing and Airbus, lacking resources to be able to work on new product development, and this merger was Douglas' way out of the industry.
00:03:55At the time, Boeing had an engineering-first ethic, which was quickly overpowered after this change by McDonnell Douglas' more profit money-making mindset.
00:04:03So, you can see where the holes start to show here.
00:04:06And this is something that, even in recent articles, is mentioned quite a bit.
00:04:10Well, it was a massive merger at the time.
00:04:12McDonnell Douglas had a significantly different ethos and, like, organizational structure behind the scenes, which kind of explains probably why they were in trouble in the first place.
00:04:23Because Boeing succeeded over them because they put technological innovation ahead of business in most senses.
00:04:32I mean, they were still a profitable business, don't get me wrong, but they definitely focused a lot on the engineering side of things, engineering excellence.
00:04:39And then somehow they merged with McDonnell Douglas, and McDonnell Douglas is the one that's seen steering the ship from then on.
00:04:46That has never made sense to me.
00:04:49Like, Boeing was the more profitable, more healthy company, and they kind of, like, saved McDonnell Douglas in a way by merging with them.
00:04:57And then McDonnell Douglas, like, kind of infects the company.
00:05:00It's never made sense to me.
00:05:02I think it's just, I don't even think it's necessarily a product of the merger.
00:05:05It's a product at the time where everything became more profit-driven.
00:05:08So McDonnell Douglas' ethos of money-making first probably is what was prevalent, not so much their structure.
00:05:14Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.
00:05:17So, hey, this is a very cool name.
00:05:19Harry Stonecipher, the Boeing CEO at the time of the merger.
00:05:23Sounds like a Bond villain.
00:05:25I know, it does sound like a Bond villain.
00:05:28It's so cool.
00:05:29I love that name.
00:05:30I wish my last name was Stonecipher.
00:05:32That's so fucking sick.
00:05:33That's unfair.
00:05:34That's an anime name.
00:05:36So he was determined to change the idea of the company from engineering firm to a proper business.
00:05:42Tens of thousands of jobs were cut, and Boeing moved from Seattle to Chicago in 2001.
00:05:48This was done to remove the Strategy Council of Business from being directly associated with other units of the company,
00:05:53thus allowing them to focus more on business decisions and long-term strategy plans
00:05:57without meddling from people actually building the planes.
00:06:00With this drastic change in the company, where now it was all about money-making first,
00:06:04print as many doubloons as possible, Mr. Krabs is running Boeing,
00:06:07they started to throw safety and quality to the wayside,
00:06:11at least according to the whistleblower and a lot of the things that were going on behind the scenes that were so shady.
00:06:16Now, I want to continue setting the stage here because the problems for Boeing
00:06:19really started to escalate over the last decade or so.
00:06:22Boeing created the Maneuvering Characteristic Augmentation System, or MCAS,
00:06:27which is now an infamous system, which I'm sure we're going to talk about very soon.
00:06:32It's described as one of their biggest and most fatal mistakes.
00:06:36It was designed to be a flight-stabilizing software that would automatically adjust the aircraft's flight controls
00:06:41under certain flight conditions, but Boeing refrained from telling many people about this system,
00:06:46including the pilots of the aircraft itself.
00:06:49What could go wrong, right?
00:06:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
00:06:53So, MCAS obtained its data from aircraft's angle of attack, the AOA sensor,
00:06:59which is used to measure the angle between the aircraft's relative wind and its longitudinal axis.
00:07:04This, in turn, would help MCAS determine if the plane is at risk of stalling,
00:07:07then triggering corrective actions.
00:07:09If, by any chance, the information relayed from the AOA sensors were wrong or the sensors were faulty,
00:07:14the MCAS system could erroneously send the plane into a fateful nosedive.
00:07:18This is exactly, yep, and this is exactly what happened on the Lions Air Flight 310 in 2008
00:07:24and the Ethiopian Airways Flight 302 in 2019.
00:07:28Tragically, everyone on board both flights died.
00:07:31Just for audio listeners, Charlie, you meant to say 2018 then.
00:07:34There wasn't a 10-year difference.
00:07:35Yeah, you said 2008.
00:07:37Oh, sorry.
00:07:38I meant 2018.
00:07:39So, anyone who was around at that time period, though,
00:07:41remembers when those two crashes happened because they were enormous in the news.
00:07:46Oh, my gosh.
00:07:48It caused Boeing to ground all the flights.
00:07:50Hundreds of people died.
00:07:51It was a very tragic event.
00:07:53Oh, man.
00:07:53They also recalled the 737 MAX in response as well, if I remember correctly.
00:07:57They took the 737 MAX out of production for a little while,
00:08:01and I believe airports refused to fly them.
00:08:04Yeah, yeah, for a two-year period, I think.
00:08:06So, the sensor read data wrong and, like, pulled against the pilot to adjust, which caused a crash.
00:08:13So, the AOA, the angle of attack sensor, which is a sensor on the peripheral,
00:08:19like, the outside of the aircraft itself, could feed incorrect data to the MCAS system in certain situations,
00:08:28and then the MCAS sensors, or, sorry, the MCAS system would operate on that incorrect information
00:08:35and potentially pull the plane into a nose.
00:08:37Was there no way to override it, you would think?
00:08:40There was.
00:08:40There was.
00:08:41There was.
00:08:41But since they didn't train the pilots on it and the pilots weren't aware of it,
00:08:45they didn't know they could override that system.
00:08:47Dude.
00:08:48As we're going to get into, the reason as to why the pilots weren't educated about this is so infuriatingly greedy.
00:08:55Yeah, all right, all right.
00:08:56Yeah, sorry.
00:08:57Go ahead.
00:08:57Go ahead.
00:08:57Keep going.
00:08:58So, Boeing had insisted to airlines that the pilots did not need any additional training to fly the new aircraft,
00:09:04and even more damning, all mentions of MCAS were removed from the operations manual that the pilots relied on.
00:09:10As Boeing was in a losing race against Airbus, the 737 MAX needed to fly exactly like the 737,
00:09:16so that pilots didn't have to go through new simulator training for certification.
00:09:20And remember, just real quick, I didn't write this, but remember that it didn't fly exactly like the previous 737,
00:09:25because the engines were more forward on the plane, creating that tilt.
00:09:30So, because of that, that's why they introduced the MCAS to offset that, so that it would fly as close to the 737 as possible.
00:09:37Yeah, you make a system that makes it feel like the old one, but you don't accommodate for when that system doesn't work correctly.
00:09:46I see.
00:09:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:47Training the pilots would have taken a lot of extra time, money, and would be unattractive to potential airline customers.
00:09:54MCAS was the supposed solution so that in certain, very specific situations,
00:09:58it would slightly adjust the aircraft to correct its flight position to create a more similar flying experience akin to the previous model that the pilots were used to.
00:10:06However, when this happened in the real world, pilots and MCAS were in a sort of fight with each other for controls,
00:10:12with pilots trimming the aircraft manually and then MCAS trimming it again,
00:10:15and this cycle continuing with the pilot unaware that there was a hidden system essentially acting against them.
00:10:20After the tragedies of the Lion's Air and Ethiopian airline crashes, Boeing suffered a huge financial loss.
00:10:26In 2022 and 2023, they paid out over a billion dollars to 737 MAX customers.
00:10:31They were charged with fraud as well as conspiracy and entered an agreement with the Department of Justice
00:10:35with the agreement that they were to pay over 2.5 billion dollars.
00:10:38They also grounded the 737 MAX for nearly two years, with regulators conducting investigations,
00:10:43a move costing Boeing around 20 billion dollars in fees and fines.
00:10:49So they didn't end up making more money in the first place.
00:10:52They made these decisions to make more money and now they've lost over 20 billion dollars,
00:10:56which I'm not sure how much that is in the grand scheme of things.
00:10:59They have a net worth of 109 billion, so...
00:11:03That is actually substantial then.
00:11:04The negative publicity just continues to, you know, accumulate day by day.
00:11:08For example, one United Airlines Boeing 777 experienced a wheel loss during takeoff.
00:11:13Another United Airlines aircraft slid off the runway upon landing due to the landing gear malfunctioning.
00:11:19There's been multiple instances of flames shooting out of engines that have been reported.
00:11:23Certifications have reportedly been falsified.
00:11:25Debris has been discovered near electrical wiring.
00:11:28Loose parts have been found in door panels.
00:11:30Components from scrap bins have allegedly been reused in installations and constructions of planes themselves.
00:11:35A Boeing 777 was forced to land after hydraulic fluid was leaking during takeoff.
00:11:40Additionally, engineers have been outsourced for low wages,
00:11:43with some employees reportedly being paid as low as $9.50 an hour.
00:11:47And the FAA criticized Boeing safety procedures as inadequate.
00:11:50And there's so many more that Jackson could have pulled from.
00:11:53Like, two days ago, a Boeing flight engine blew up, caught fire, and they had to emergency land.
00:11:59A week ago, this one I think a lot of you heard, the door blew off of a plane mid-flight.
00:12:05That's the one I focus on, yeah.
00:12:07Oh, you have it right here.
00:12:09So, most recently, Friday, January 5th,
00:12:12171 passengers and six crew members were aboard the Alaskan Airline Flight 1282 on a Boeing 737 MAX.
00:12:20They departed from Portland at 5.07 p.m. with no signs of stress or worry from the captains or flight staff.
00:12:25However, minutes later, as the plane reached an altitude of 16,000 feet,
00:12:29a loud bang was heard through the aircraft.
00:12:31A hidden emergency door and its cover, known as a door plug,
00:12:35was suddenly sucked out from the aircraft, leaving a giant hole in its wake.
00:12:38The change in pressure was so strong that if passengers were sitting in the seats directly at the impacted door,
00:12:43they would most certainly have been jettisoned.
00:12:45Mobile phones were ripped out of hands, a t-shirt was ripped off the back of a young boy,
00:12:49the plane's interior around the gap was torn apart to its core,
00:12:53and the surrounding seats bent and misshapen.
00:12:55There's just so many examples of Boeing planes malfunctioning in recent years
00:12:59as the quality of their builds have apparently diminished behind the scenes.
00:13:03So we focused a lot on that airline door being blown off.
00:13:08That was one we harped on a lot and diving deep into how that happened
00:13:11and all of the negligence and just irresponsibility behind it.
00:13:14The main thing that contributed to that is they didn't put the fucking bolts in on it.
00:13:18Like, they didn't finish actually putting the bolts in on the door.
00:13:21It's, from top to bottom, so much has gone wrong with Boeing.
00:13:26And it's led to concerned individuals like John Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower,
00:13:32coming out to tell the public, inform them about what's happening with Boeing and how dangerous it is.
00:13:39Following this, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun himself has encouraged customers to conduct their own reviews.
00:13:46On 737s.
00:13:49Hey, we don't feel like paying for anyone to, like, check our shit.
00:13:52Can you guys just do it yourself and, like, let us know?
00:13:54Just check the doors when you get on.
00:13:57Encourages customers to check the bolts?
00:13:59Oh my gosh.
00:14:00Like, hey, next time you get onto one of our planes, just make sure all the screws are there.
00:14:04You probably know where they're supposed to go.
00:14:07Guys, it's probably fine, but don't take our word for it.
00:14:10In fact, we want you to do it yourself.
00:14:13And then in the court case, it's like, your honor, they check the door.
00:14:17You know, it's really their fault.
00:14:18The onus was on them.
00:14:19Every single passenger is deputized upon entering a 737 as an official certified inspector.
00:14:27I'm going to assume, because Boeing's customers are the actual airlines and not us individually,
00:14:32so maybe he meant the customers as in the airlines conduct their own reviews.
00:14:35But even then, that's still such a dodgy thing to say, still, like, hey, yeah, you guys should check the doors.
00:14:41It's funny to imagine that, like, when you sit down on a plane and the stewardess is giving you, like, the in-flight instructions,
00:14:46it's like, please ensure that all bolts and screws are in the correct place on the secret door you don't know you're sitting next to.
00:14:54Yeah, when the oxygen masks drop down during an emergency, they also drop an Allen wrench.
00:14:58It's like, okay, now everyone's going to tighten your shit quick.
00:15:04Out of the 89 audits conducted by Boeing, only 56 passed.
00:15:10They found that Don...
00:15:12What?
00:15:12No way.
00:15:13No way.
00:15:14They found that Don Dishwashing Liquid was being used as a makeshift lubricant during door fittings,
00:15:25and a hotel keycard was used to check a door seal, which are not approved practices.
00:15:32I can't believe those aren't approved practices.
00:15:36Where does it say in the technical guidebook that you can't use Don Dishwashing Liquid?
00:15:41What are you meant to use, then?
00:15:43I love...
00:15:44It's like the Air Bud argument.
00:15:46I mean, there's nothing in the rulebook that says a dog can't play basketball.
00:15:50Why can't I use a hotel keycard to check the door seal?
00:15:53John Barnett.
00:15:54He was an American-born aerospace engineer and longtime Boeing employee turned whistleblower.
00:15:58Born February 23rd, 1962 in Pineville, Louisiana,
00:16:02Barnett worked at Boeing for 32 years with a long stint from 2010 through 2017,
00:16:08working as a quality control manager for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner airplane
00:16:12at the South Carolina plant.
00:16:14As quality control manager, John was directly involved in ensuring each plane had passed
00:16:18supposed Boeing quality checklists,
00:16:20essentially being one of the few individuals who was innately aware and knowledgeable
00:16:23about Boeing's supposed commitment to producing reliable and safe aircraft.
00:16:28Due to stressful working conditions, Barnett's doctor advised that job-related stress would
00:16:32likely cause a heart attack unless he were to quit.
00:16:35He retired in 2016.
00:16:37Upon his retirement, John Barnett came forward to the press to make allegations about various
00:16:42claims of malpractice at Boeing.
00:16:44His initial claims first came to the BBC and included allegations that many employees were
00:16:48severely overworked and Boeing was not providing consistent and appropriate maintenance to the
00:16:52aircraft they were responsible for manufacturing.
00:16:54He also made the troubling evidence-based claim that the oxygen systems of the brand-new
00:16:58Boeing 787 Dreamliner range of aircraft might be faulty or otherwise defective as a byproduct
00:17:04of lax maintenance at Boeing.
00:17:06He provided tests that showed a failure rate of 25% for the oxygen systems.
00:17:11In 2019, Barnett would appear in a New York Times article where he would go on to make further
00:17:15claims about metal shavings that posed a danger to the aircraft themselves.
00:17:19Boeing denied all allegations made by Barnett.
00:17:22However, the FAA has since conducted several reviews that seem to corroborate Barnett's
00:17:26claims.
00:17:28Yeah.
00:17:2925% for the oxygen systems.
00:17:31So, one in four people on those planes are not getting oxygen in the case of an emergency.
00:17:38That's still a positive survival rate.
00:17:40That's acceptable losses.
00:17:42It's not bad.
00:17:42And they wouldn't need oxygen anyway because the plane will be in a nosedive.
00:17:45So, what are they going to do?
00:17:49Tell someone?
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:51It's actually probably better for Boeing if no one gets oxygen.
00:17:53So, that way there's no squealing.
00:17:56Have you heard that old conspiracy theory that the reason you brace with your head against
00:18:00the chair in front of you in a plane crash is to immediately break your neck?
00:18:04Oh, yeah.
00:18:05I saw that.
00:18:06The pain of the crash.
00:18:07Yeah.
00:18:07The old Boeing survivor's pose.
00:18:10So, then here's some more claims from Barnett.
00:18:14So, reprimanded for email usage, Barnett asserts that a senior manager reprimanded and downgraded
00:18:19Barnett for his usage of internal email services as a tool for expressing process violations
00:18:24in lieu of face-to-face conversations, which Barnett assumes had meant he shouldn't put
00:18:29problems in writing.
00:18:30This was seemingly a way for Boeing to avoid a paper trail of problems that Boeing would
00:18:34prefer swept under the rug, which is relevant with the Alaska Airline Flight 12-1282, which
00:18:39is the door blowing off, where Boeing apparently doesn't have any written documents pertaining
00:18:43to the faulty installation of the door module.
00:18:46Barnett also alleges that the manager pushed Barnett to get more use to working in the gray
00:18:50areas and help find a way while maintaining compliance.
00:18:53This speaks to a direct willingness and culture at Boeing where employees and managers are willing
00:18:57to sacrifice quality control to keep productivity high and ensure deadlines are met.
00:19:02Then there's also defective parts claims, where Barnett claims that a senior manager installed
00:19:07a defective, scrapped, indented hydraulic pipe in a plane.
00:19:11Barnett followed procedures and filed the complaint with Human Resources, which was unable
00:19:15to substantiate the claim after claiming they had followed through with an investigation.
00:19:20He also claims that he would go on to continuously raise issues of several more missing and
00:19:25defective airplane parts to management with the fear that they had either been accidentally
00:19:29or intentionally installed in aircrafts.
00:19:32Allegedly, management instead directed him to finish the paperwork on the missing parts
00:19:36without necessarily determining where they had gone.
00:19:40Yeah, it doesn't matter.
00:19:42It doesn't matter.
00:19:43They fell into the fucking back rooms.
00:19:45Who cares?
00:19:46Just make note that they're missing.
00:19:48Barnett claims no further action was taken by managers.
00:19:51His claim that workers did not sufficiently follow component tracking procedures with the
00:19:55goal of preventing delays on the production line was backed up by a 2017 Federal Aviation
00:20:00Administration report that determined that at least 53 non-conforming parts were missing
00:20:05with the order that Boeing take remedial action.
00:20:08Barnett additionally claimed that they had to change the locks on the scrap storage section
00:20:13of the facility where faulty or defective parts were kept because people would continuously
00:20:17grab parts from the storage to install on planes.
00:20:20Fuck.
00:20:21They have a real problem at Boeing.
00:20:23You have to lock up the scrap shed because they keep trying to build planes with them.
00:20:29Just fucking get rid of them.
00:20:31Burn them.
00:20:32Stop this.
00:20:32Something from being installed in these planes.
00:20:34It's like everyone's rats running around scavenging.
00:20:37Like, no.
00:20:38Stop.
00:20:39Get back.
00:20:39Tony Stark built this Boeing in a cave with a lot of scraps.
00:20:44So bad.
00:20:44Metal shavings, Barnett further alleged that he had discovered what he described as clusters
00:20:49of metal shavings that were erroneously left near electrical systems for flight controls
00:20:53and several 787s.
00:20:55The safety implications of this was that if there were shavings, if, or sorry, the implications
00:20:59of this was if the shavings were to penetrate the electrical wiring responsible for powering
00:21:04the flight control systems, the results could have been catastrophic.
00:21:07So in 2024, Barnett continued to issue warnings about Boeing and their work culture and vehicle
00:21:12safety, particularly following Alaska Airline Flight 1282.
00:21:17Barnett would go on to file an AR21, which is a law that supposedly protects airline safety
00:21:22whistleblowers against retaliatory actions by employers, with the claim that Boeing had
00:21:27undermined his career because he had raised safety concerns at the Charleston plant.
00:21:32It's worth mentioning he was in an active lawsuit against Boeing, and he was in South Carolina,
00:21:38and on Saturday, he was intended to provide further answers to questioning, but did not
00:21:42show up to the downtown office of Boeing's defense firm for the final day of the three-day
00:21:46deposition.
00:21:47He did not respond to calls over that day or the following.
00:21:50He was found deceased shortly after in his truck at a hotel parking lot from what Charleston
00:21:57County Coroner's office described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:22:01Prior to his death, Barnett reportedly told a family friend that,
00:22:05If anything happens to me, it's not suicide.
00:22:08Boeing responded to his death by releasing a statement that read,
00:22:11We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's death and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
00:22:15Barnett's family claimed that he was looking forward to having his day in court and hoped
00:22:19that it would force Boeing to change its culture, though was suffering from PTSD and anxiety
00:22:24attacks as a result of being subject to hostile work environment at Boeing, which we believe
00:22:28led to his death.
00:22:30His lawyer told the CBS News that,
00:22:33He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind
00:22:37him and moving on.
00:22:38We didn't see any indication he would take his own life.
00:22:40No one can believe it.
00:22:42Barnett was found inside his vehicle, bleeding from his right temple with a silver pistol found
00:22:47in his hand and something allegedly resembling a note in the passenger seat.
00:22:51A groundsman told police that he had heard a pop around 9.24 a.m., but,
00:22:54the rain had apparently muffled the sound.
00:22:57Barnett and his lawyers had filed their first complaints in 2017 in Barnett vs. Boeing.
00:23:01It seemed suspicious to say the least that Barnett would commit suicide when his case was
00:23:05finally in the final stretch.
00:23:07Family member told his lawyer, Turkowicz, what was written on the note, but that it didn't
00:23:11sound like John.
00:23:13Which, I imagine it didn't.
00:23:15It sounded like Harry Stonemason or whatever his name was.
00:23:21Harry Stone Cipher.
00:23:24Yeah, Stone Cipher.
00:23:25I think the biggest thing that makes no fucking sense here is not only the timing of it where
00:23:30he's like in the last phase of this, but also he decides to blow his brains out in the
00:23:35parking lot as opposed to his room.
00:23:37Why?
00:23:38That makes no sense.
00:23:39If he was going to kill himself, it'd likely be in his room, not in the fucking parking
00:23:43lot.
00:23:44Yeah, that is a good point.
00:23:45I didn't think of that.
00:23:45Maybe he didn't want to do it.
00:23:48He didn't want to create a mess for, like, the house cleaners or something, and so he
00:23:52figured that his car would be the most...
00:23:55Well, then he's creating a mess for the tow truck company and every human being that would
00:23:59be walking outside and might see a blood-splattered window.
00:24:04Yeah, I don't know.
00:24:05Yeah, I don't know why he would choose to do it in the car, realistically.
00:24:08Well, because he didn't choose to.
00:24:09It wasn't a suicide that he consented to.
00:24:12It does ultimately seem unlikely that Boeing would plan to murder a whistleblower, but only
00:24:16because there are many other whistleblowers and it would be highly impractical for Boeing
00:24:20to assassinate all of them.
00:24:21There's an interesting connection here where lawyers who drafted Jeffrey Epstein's 2008
00:24:25immunity deal are also connected to those who created Boeing's signed January 6, 2021,
00:24:31because Epstein needs to come up in every Red Thread episode somehow.
00:24:35It's actually crazy that they are connected there.
00:24:40So, with so many circumstances that serve as evidence of Boeing's malpractice, its failure
00:24:44of 33 of 89 FAA audits, the jammed rudder that caused the near-miss in Newark, a wing
00:24:50coming apart on a San Francisco to Boston flight that was forced to make a premature landing,
00:24:55the use of dish soap and hotel room keys to check door seals, and of course, its failure
00:24:59to install a single bolt that would have prevented the door on the Alaskan airline flight 1282 from
00:25:04being ejected from the fuselage, it's impossible to believe that the company would be able
00:25:08to argue it hasn't broken the DPA.
00:25:10But, as the DPA is written, the only actual requirements of complying with the DPA are
00:25:15that Boeing cooperate fully with domestic and foreign regulatory authorities in any investigations
00:25:19during the three years in which it remains in effect.
00:25:22It's essentially toothless.
00:25:24Yep.
00:25:24Yep.
00:25:25Yeah, because the whole thing is just saying like, well, you can make mistakes as long as
00:25:30you let us look at them.
00:25:32And they're like, okay.
00:25:32Yeah.
00:25:33Or you at least pretend to let us look at them.
00:25:36Yeah, yeah.
00:25:37Like with the footage being overwritten and all that.
00:25:40Yeah, there's a piece of paper somewhere that says we looked at them.
00:25:42As long as that happens, we're fine.
00:25:44Yeah.
00:25:45Boeing maintains that it has cooperated fully and transparently, but that it is unable
00:25:49to provide documents that the agency is seeking because it doesn't possess the documents
00:25:53and, indeed, no longer documents the repairs and procedures the agency is asking for documentation
00:25:58of in reference to the installation and maintenance of the door.
00:26:02This is further evidenced and backed up by John Barnett's previous claims that Boeing has
00:26:07an internal culture that will aim to avoid any written record of faults and mistakes at
00:26:12any cost, choosing to lose documentation at any chance if it means they won't be held culpable
00:26:19with evidence pertaining to their increasingly lax quality control and maintenance standard.
00:26:24This has all led to the enormous shift in public perception of the company.
00:26:28The once famous phrase, if it ain't Boeing, I'm not going, is no longer relevant.
00:26:32Indeed, I'll be more comfortable flying an Airbus plane for the foreseeable future when
00:26:37possible.
00:26:38That's what that was meant for me.
00:26:41I won't be comfortable flying any plane.
00:26:44You'll be slightly more comfortable if you're on an Airbus.
00:26:46And I don't even think, this is another aspect of it, I don't think it is Boeing who would
00:26:53have carried out a hit.
00:26:54It's not like the boardroom got together and had a discussion and said, we need to kill
00:26:58this guy.
00:26:58Could have just been a single individual within the company whose career would be threatened
00:27:03by this information coming to light.
00:27:05So he just has it taken care of without consulting anyone else.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:09My main hang up with the whole assassination idea, and I agree with you, Isaiah, mostly.
00:27:15I think it's definitely possible that it was something like that.
00:27:19My main hang up with the idea is just how much, I think Boeing would have been aware
00:27:23how much noise would have been generated by an assassination on a whistleblower.
00:27:29And I think they would have known that they would have had that kind of perception if that
00:27:32were to occur.
00:27:34So I don't know if it was necessary on their end as well.
00:27:38Like, like was said in the document, there's a whole bunch of other whistleblowers currently
00:27:42from Boeing.
00:27:43They already have this reputation issue.
00:27:47It's, I don't see why it would be necessary for them when they're pretty much invulnerable
00:27:52anyway.
00:27:53Uh, necessary is probably not the right word.
00:27:55Uh, like, I feel like the reason they would have killed him in particular is just because
00:28:01of how high profile he, like, I don't know any of the other whistleblowers.
00:28:05I don't think many of you do, but Barnett was in like the news.
00:28:09He was bringing these problems to the public sphere.
00:28:12Like, Hey, Boeing shit is made out of shit.
00:28:16Like they're using scrap metal.
00:28:17It's not safe.
00:28:18I wouldn't fly it like this kind of stuff.
00:28:21Like he, he was a pretty important figure in getting people more aware of just how like
00:28:28poor their quality was.
00:28:29And he had a very high ranking position.
00:28:31Like he would be a very strong authority on just how bad their quality control is.
00:28:35So it's someone people would put their faith in to know these things.
00:28:39So I feel like he would be one of those people they'd be afraid of now, whether or not they'd
00:28:43necessarily be like, we have to kill him.
00:28:45I don't know, but maybe someone was panicking.
00:28:47Like, Hey, if this keeps going, if he keeps dropping these, you know,
00:28:51bombshells, we're going to suffer big problems and maybe someone just, you know, impulsively
00:28:58decided we need to do something about it and decided to kill him because it just seems highly
00:29:02unlikely that someone who's right at the end of like a very passionate fight decides to
00:29:08take their own life.
00:29:09And if it's not suicide, then another thing that's equally possible is maybe Boeing started
00:29:13putting out like, um, like outside pressure on him.
00:29:17Like, Hey, threatening his family.
00:29:18We'll do something to them.
00:29:20We'll, we'll make sure your family's in financial ruin.
00:29:22We'll, we'll make sure their lives are miserable.
00:29:24If you don't stop this, that kind of thing.
00:29:26Like they could have suicide.
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:28They could have like coerced them into it.
00:29:30Like they, they mentioned he was suffering for like PTSD, PTSD and anxiety attacks.
00:29:34So maybe Boeing plays into that angle by making all of these like bigger threats that like
00:29:39make his anxiety even bigger and greater.
00:29:41So like, even if they didn't necessarily get it, like fucking agent 47 out there, like
00:29:45I still think they could have driven him to it, like for like forced it upon him, which
00:29:50I'd still consider like a hit.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:53It's definitely possible as well.
00:29:55Another Boeing whistleblower has died.
00:29:58What a weird coincidence.
00:29:59That is right.
00:30:00Two Boeing whistleblowers dying under mysterious circumstances back to back in a matter of only
00:30:05two months.
00:30:06Man, that's peculiar.
00:30:07Must just be really bad RNG.
00:30:10No reason to investigate that any further, I'm sure.
00:30:13So for those that don't know, being a Boeing whistleblower is more detrimental to your
00:30:17health than smoking cigarettes.
00:30:18At least the cigarettes kill you slowly over a period of years.
00:30:22Whereas being a Boeing whistleblower kills you almost immediately.
00:30:26Like skydiving without a parachute is safer for you than blowing the whistle on Boeing and
00:30:31all of their shadiness.
00:30:32So a month ago, there was a Boeing whistleblower named John Barnett, who was found dead with
00:30:37apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
00:30:39The timing of which was really interesting, considering he was at the tail end of an extremely
00:30:44important lawsuit that he was engaged in with Boeing.
00:30:47And according to everyone that knew him, he was extremely excited to be done with that
00:30:50lawsuit.
00:30:50And in fact, shortly before he was found dead, he'd actually told people that if he does
00:30:56turn up dead, just know he didn't do it to himself.
00:31:00Probably circumstantial evidence.
00:31:02That probably doesn't mean anything.
00:31:03Just don't think too hard and accept the shit that they feed you with the official
00:31:07story that he just decided while sitting in his truck to blow his goddamn brains out.
00:31:11That makes a lot of sense here.
00:31:13I stand by my assessment that John Barnett was assassinated by Boeing.
00:31:17I don't believe it's Boeing themselves, but I believe it's a couple high-ranking members
00:31:21within Boeing that are taking matters into their own hands and doing these things.
00:31:26It's the only thing, the only explanation that makes any level of sense to this.
00:31:29So I made a whole video breaking down the evidence in the John Barnett case, as well as an entire
00:31:33Red Thread episode dedicated to uncovering all of the shadiness and corruption within
00:31:37Boeing.
00:31:38That company is fucked.
00:31:39Jackson, Windegoon, and myself went through the entire history of Boeing, and they are so
00:31:44corrupt it would make Umbrella Corporation blush at how evil Boeing is.
00:31:49It is shocking.
00:31:50So I really do think that these two whistleblowers were the victims of some kind of assassination.
00:31:57So let's talk about the most recent whistleblower.
00:32:00His name is Joshua Dean.
00:32:02I learned about it last night while playing Crab Souls, and I...
00:32:05Well, it's not the real name of the game.
00:32:06The name of the game is Another Crab's Treasure, and it's a banger.
00:32:09But while playing this game, chat told me that another Boeing whistleblower had just turned
00:32:13up dead, and I thought they were memeing.
00:32:15And they...
00:32:16It turns out they weren't.
00:32:17They were actually telling the truth.
00:32:18Oh!
00:32:20Did you see the second Boeing whistleblower got murked?
00:32:22No shot the other whistleblower's dead.
00:32:26No shot.
00:32:27It's real?
00:32:28No.
00:32:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:30I don't believe that.
00:32:30Hold on.
00:32:31I'm looking that shit up right now.
00:32:39No!
00:32:40What?
00:32:41What?
00:32:42It's just in plain sight.
00:32:44Yeah, whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems has died.
00:32:49What?
00:32:50Another Boeing whistleblower is dead.
00:32:52Six hours ago.
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:58Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor of Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems and one of the
00:33:03first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737
00:33:07Max, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden fast-spreading infection.
00:33:13Oh, that's interesting.
00:33:14This time it wasn't bullet to the head?
00:33:17They're getting creative with their assassinations.
00:33:20That's crazy.
00:33:20This is the most dangerous thing you can be is a Boeing whistleblower.
00:33:24That's more dangerous than being like a fucking volcano lava taste tester.
00:33:30This shit...
00:33:31It's just in plain sight.
00:33:32His entire family stated he was healthy until after he blew the whistle.
00:33:36He lived a very healthy lifestyle and the illness was sudden and unexpected.
00:33:42They contracted that.
00:33:44Stick it to the moniosis.
00:33:46From Boeing.
00:33:48Joshua Dean was a quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems and was among the first whistleblowers
00:33:54to accuse Spirit leadership of ignoring defects on the 737 Max and he died shortly after contracting
00:33:59Influenza B, MRSA, and then developing pneumonia.
00:34:02Now, for those that are unaware, Boeing has a history of just ignoring safety precautions
00:34:08and just hiding things.
00:34:11So, in the previous case with John Barnett, we actually learned quite a few alarming things,
00:34:15such as there were times where scrap metal was used for Boeing planes in order to meet deadlines.
00:34:21They'd also keep things off the books as much as possible.
00:34:25They even used Dawn dish soap as a lubricant for the aircraft door seals at one point.
00:34:30Then they also used hotel key cards and wet cheese cloths to perform maintenance.
00:34:35Just an absolute smorgasbord of malpractice, at least in my perspective here.
00:34:40Of course, I'm not an aircraft specialist.
00:34:43But using Dawn dish soap and hotel key cards, that doesn't really seem like textbook protocol there.
00:34:50That sounds like something you'd read on WikiHow for a DIY aircraft maintenance at your own home for like an RC aircraft.
00:34:57Not a fucking Boeing.
00:34:59So, these gentlemen came forward to try and alert the public about what Boeing's been doing.
00:35:04Or rather, not doing, that they should be.
00:35:06And they've both paid the ultimate price for it.
00:35:08In my eyes, they're heroes for the work they've tried to do here.
00:35:12So, being a Boeing whistleblower is basically like just taking a cyanide capsule at this point, it seems.
00:35:19It's just more of a matter of when, not if you turn up dead, I suppose.
00:35:23So, let's go deeper into the case of Joshua Dean here because this one seems so blatant.
00:35:29His mother and stepfather described him as a health nut who rarely drank and attended church regularly.
00:35:35He started feeling sick around two weeks ago.
00:35:37He stayed home from work for a couple days, but things got worse.
00:35:40Sunday, April 21st, is when his mother got a call from him that he was really sick, having trouble breathing.
00:35:45And he went to immediate care, and they told him he had strep throat.
00:35:49She went to check on her son and telling him to call her if he felt worse.
00:35:54And he did call her a couple hours later and said that he was going to the emergency room and that he was scared because they found something in his lungs.
00:36:01He tested positive for influenza B.
00:36:03He tested positive for MRSA.
00:36:04He had pneumonia.
00:36:05His lungs were completely filled up.
00:36:07And from there, he just went downhill.
00:36:08This was a stunning turn of events for Dean and his family because he was described as someone who was very healthy.
00:36:14He went to the gym, ran nearly every day, and was very careful about his diet.
00:36:19Quote,
00:36:19This was his first time ever in a hospital.
00:36:22He didn't even have a doctor because he was never sick.
00:36:25But within days, his kidneys gave out and he was relying on an ECMO life support machine to do the work of his heart and lungs.
00:36:32The night before Dean died, Green said medical staff in Oklahoma did a bronchoscopy on his lungs.
00:36:39The doctor said he'd never seen anything like it before in his life.
00:36:42His lungs were just totally gummed up and like a mesh over them.
00:36:47Unfortunately, it sounds like Dean came down with a severe case of Boeing whistleblower lung,
00:36:52which is a serious medical condition that only affects Boeing whistleblowers in particular.
00:36:57It makes coal miners' lungs look clean in comparison.
00:37:00So I'm not surprised that this was the doctor's first time seeing anything like this
00:37:03because typically a Boeing whistleblower doesn't even survive long enough to make it to the hospital in one piece.
00:37:08This fucking company is rotten to the core.
00:37:11Green says she asked for an autopsy to determine exactly what killed her son,
00:37:15and results will likely take months.
00:37:17We're not sure what he died of, she said.
00:37:19We know that he had a bunch of viruses, but you know,
00:37:21we don't know if someone did something to him or did he just get real sick.
00:37:25In my unprofessional opinion, I think someone did something to him.
00:37:28I think the infection he contracted was Boeing hitman disease.
00:37:32I think he was poisoned.
00:37:34This is someone that took their health extremely seriously,
00:37:38and only a short period of time after coming forward with information about Boeing's negligent practices,
00:37:45does he get extremely sick and then die all in a short span of time
00:37:50with something that doctors had never even seen happen before?
00:37:54That's a little suspicious.
00:37:55And this is the second whistleblower that has died under mysterious circumstances in two months?
00:38:01Wow, what a crazy coincidence.
00:38:03To me, this feels like someone or a group of people within Boeing
00:38:08is taking matters into their own hands and making an example out of these whistleblowers,
00:38:14because Boeing is a massive company with so many people in it.
00:38:18And thus, there's a lot of people that are privy to all the shady shit that they've been doing
00:38:23over the past couple of decades.
00:38:25So, by sending this message, not so subtly, that whistleblowers don't have a long life expectancy,
00:38:32it makes people afraid to come forward with their own accounts.
00:38:35It makes more whistleblowers afraid to come forward.
00:38:38And I think that's the goal with all of it.
00:38:40That, at least in my opinion.
00:38:42Like I said, we did a full dive on Boeing for that Red Threat episode,
00:38:46and this company has been corrupt for a long time.
00:38:50I would not put it past them to do something like this.
00:38:52Maybe not the company as a whole, but at least a couple of bad actors within the company,
00:38:57at the very least.
00:38:58Now, let's get into some of the things that Dean was alleging.
00:39:01So, he had a degree in engineering, and he took his first job at Spirit in 2019,
00:39:05but was let go amid the layoffs during the pandemic.
00:39:09He then returned to work for the company as a quality auditor.
00:39:11He took the job very seriously, and grew increasingly frustrated with what he described as
00:39:15a culture of not counting defects correctly, which is very commonplace when it comes to this.
00:39:22During two interviews in January, Dean said that Spirit pressured employees
00:39:25not to report defects in order to get planes out of the factory faster.
00:39:30This is something that John Barnett also said.
00:39:33Now, I'm not saying they don't want you to go out there and inspect a job.
00:39:36You know they do.
00:39:37But if you make too much trouble, you will get the Josh treatment.
00:39:40You will get what happened to me.
00:39:43That's what Dean told NPR.
00:39:45Dean was fired in April of last year in retaliation, he said, for flagging improperly drilled holes in fuselages.
00:39:52I think they were sending out a message to anybody else, Dean said.
00:39:55If you are too loud, we will silence you.
00:39:58Dean described what he saw while working for Spirit in a deposition for a lawsuit filed by the company's shareholders,
00:40:03who accused the company of misleading investors by attempting to conceal excessive numbers of defects at the Kansas factory.
00:40:10He was not a plaintiff in the case.
00:40:12In the shareholder lawsuit, Dean said he flagged a significant defect,
00:40:16misdrilled holes in the AFT pressure bulkhead of the 737 MAX fuselages months before he was fired.
00:40:22His deposition lays out a series of pivotal dates.
00:40:24October 2022, in his auditor role, Dean realizes Spirit workers misdrilled holes on the 737 MAX AFT pressure bulkhead,
00:40:32representing a potential threat to maintaining cabin pressure during flight.
00:40:35The lawsuit accuses the company of concealing the problem.
00:40:38April 13, 2023, Boeing publicly reveals learning of a separate defect related to the tail fin fittings on the certain 737 MAX aircraft.
00:40:47Spirit then confirms that defect.
00:40:48April 26, 2023, Spirit fires Dean, saying he failed to flag the tail fin issue.
00:40:54In his testimony, Dean said he told the company officials that he might have missed the tail fin defect
00:40:58because he had just discovered the problem with the bulkheads he inspected and was focused on that.
00:41:02August 23, 2023, Boeing announces it has found fastener holes in the AFT pressure bulkhead
00:41:10on certain 737 MAX airplanes that don't match its specifications,
00:41:14resulting in snowmen due to the multiple holes elongated shape.
00:41:18It's the problem Dean flagged 10 months earlier.
00:41:21On the same day, Spirit releases a statement acknowledging the issue.
00:41:24The shareholder lawsuit accuses Spirit of concealing the bulkhead defect not only from investors,
00:41:29but also apparently from Boeing.
00:41:31It's important to note that Boeing is currently in talks to acquire Spirit altogether.
00:41:36And in the interview with NPR, Joshua Dean predicted it would be difficult to replace the experienced workforce
00:41:41that Spirit lost during the pandemic.
00:41:43The mechanics aren't as experienced, neither are the inspectors.
00:41:45We've just lost that.
00:41:46He then showed a little bit of optimism for the new CEO who was taking over,
00:41:51saying that he has the chance to be the new sheriff in town,
00:41:53and he closes by saying,
00:41:54We need to make sure that there is no retaliation or intimidation.
00:41:58This culture of,
00:41:59You're too loud, you'll be moved or silenced,
00:42:01that's got to go.
00:42:03Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that culture went anywhere.
00:42:06In fact, they are silencing people in the biggest possible way,
00:42:09by making it so they can never speak again because they're dead.
00:42:12That is what it seems like to me.
00:42:14This is a problem that runs so deep with Boeing.
00:42:18It's in Spirit, their supplier, and Boeing itself.
00:42:21This is unacceptable.
00:42:23Like, the planes are in terrible condition.
00:42:26There is problems almost every single day with Boeing flights malfunctioning and having all kinds,
00:42:31like, oodles and oodles of issues.
00:42:33It really feels like it's only a matter of time before a fatal incident occurs with one of Boeing's aircrafts
00:42:38that would have been entirely preventable if they actually just followed their own safety protocol
00:42:42and actually listened to the quality auditors
00:42:45and the people that are actually supposed to be performing maintenance on these things.
00:42:48It's so baffling to me that we've reached this point
00:42:52where they're so focused on just pumping shit out to meet deadlines
00:42:56that they don't really care if it's put together well.
00:43:00These are things that hold thousands of people's lives daily
00:43:04and they're just shipping it out as cheaply and as fastly as possible
00:43:07while hiding as many of the defects as they can for as long as they can.
00:43:10That is frightening.
00:43:12Fucking frightening.
00:43:13And the people that are speaking out about it seem to be in an extraordinary amount of danger for some reason.
00:43:19Super weird how two whistleblowers just turn up dead
00:43:22under really interesting circumstances so close together.
00:43:26It's just, the whole thing reeks of corruption.
00:43:29My heart breaks for the family and friends of John Barnett and Joshua Dean.
00:43:34Like I said, I really do view them as heroes.
00:43:36Whistleblowers are extremely important.
00:43:37To hold these companies accountable and to try and do the right thing is not easy.
00:43:42As that headline said, it takes tremendous courage.
00:43:46You take a huge risk.
00:43:48And unfortunately for these two, it seems like that risk costs them everything.
00:43:53It's super sad.
00:43:55And I really think that it's just right there in plain sight that Boeing has some kind of hand in it.
00:44:02It's fucking sickening.
00:44:04I think Boeing is an evil company.
00:44:07I think Spirit is an evil company.
00:44:09Like this is just, it's craziness.
00:44:11It's fucking horrifying.
00:44:12So I want to talk about this a little bit.
00:44:14That's it.
00:44:15See ya.
00:44:16I haven't really looked into exactly how the whistleblower passed away here.
00:44:21Allegedly unaliving himself.
00:44:23But with everything that's been going on in the aviation industry,
00:44:27from like the little bits I've read, it sounds more like an assassination.
00:44:32This is scary shit, man.
00:44:33I'm telling you.
00:44:34Planes are the devil.
00:44:35I've been saying it since I was a child.
00:44:37And you called me crazy.
00:44:38John Barnett, who had worked for Boeing for 32 years until his retirement in 2017,
00:44:43and the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.
00:44:47Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr. Barnett's passing.
00:44:49The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.
00:44:53It's said the 62-year-old had died from a self-inflicted wound on March 9th, and police were investigating.
00:44:59Mr. Barnett had worked for the U.S. plane giant for 32 years.
00:45:02From 2010, he worked as a quality manager.
00:45:04In 2019, Mr. Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting substandard parts to aircraft on the production line.
00:45:13He also said he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems,
00:45:16which could mean one in four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.
00:45:20He said soon after starting work in South Carolina,
00:45:23he had become concerned that the push to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed and safety was compromised,
00:45:28something the company denied.
00:45:30He had later told BBC that workers had failed to follow procedures intended to track components throughout the factory,
00:45:35allowing defective components to go missing.
00:45:38He said in some cases, substandard parts had even been removed from scrap bins
00:45:41and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line.
00:45:44And he also claimed that tests on emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25%,
00:45:51meaning that one in four could fail.
00:45:53So he was exposing a lot, clearly, and now he is dead.
00:45:59At the time of his death, Mr. Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.
00:46:04Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers before being cross-examined by his own counsel.
00:46:11He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday.
00:46:13When he did not appear, inquiries were made at his hotel.
00:46:16He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
00:46:20Speaking to BBC, his lawyers described his death as tragic.
00:46:23In a statement, Boeing said,
00:46:25We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
00:46:28His death comes at a time when production standards at both Boeing and its key supplier, Spirit Aerosystems, are under intense scrutiny.
00:46:35This follows an incident in early January when an unused emergency exit door blew off a brand new Boeing 737 MAX shortly after takeoff from Portland.
00:46:44What interesting timing for him to, uh, kill himself.
00:46:50Surely a coincidence.
00:46:53Yeah, he was a Boeing whistleblower engaged in an- actively engaged in a lawsuit against Boeing.
00:47:02Same guy who got Epstein.
00:47:04Yeah, maybe they just used the same person.
00:47:06It's just one guy.
00:47:07The planes are starting to fall apart.
00:47:16And Mr. Barnett was trying to expose the truth.
00:47:22Boeing took him out.
00:47:23I think that's what happened here.
00:47:25Oh, is that about the cannibal thing?
00:47:31I saw the headlines for the cannibal.
00:47:32I just, I haven't read about it or anything.
00:47:35And yeah, I heard about the, the body being driven to the bank to take money out.
00:47:42Thanks, Membership Prodigy.
00:47:45I'm really confused.
00:47:45If the planes are falling apart and they were going to be exposed, is it deliberate?
00:47:49Well, yeah, I think so.
00:47:51Most people would read this and conclude that this was likely a murder.
00:47:55He was engaged in a very important lawsuit with Boeing.
00:47:58And now, obviously, it can't finish because he's dead.
00:48:08And yeah, I'm getting bits and pieces of it, Cake.
00:48:11It's just a lot.
00:48:13Government cover-up tier list win.
00:48:15Not a bad idea.
00:48:22What does Boeing gain from having their planes falling apart?
00:48:24Well, they don't gain anything from that.
00:48:26What they gain is by saving money on the construction, as well as meeting strict deadlines for the production line,
00:48:32which is something Barnett was mentioning a couple times throughout this.
00:48:35So, like, in an effort to be, like, quick, meet those deadlines on the assembly line,
00:48:40they would use substandard parts.
00:48:42Which is why shit keeps falling apart.
00:48:45They don't necessarily gain from having their planes fucking combust in the air,
00:48:48but it is good for business if they're saving money and meeting these strict timetables.
00:48:56I miss that one, Urban.
00:49:00That's cute, though.
00:49:03And that is sad, Lucas.
00:49:08Timu parts?
00:49:09It actually sounds, like, worse than Timu parts.
00:49:11Like, here it says they were going into the bin from scrap bins and fitting them to the planes.
00:49:16Because you'd be better off buying from Timu.
00:49:22And have not done that, Vincenzo.
00:49:24Thanks for your subrun.
00:49:28Corner cutting everywhere with manufacturing, maintenance, and pilot training.
00:49:32Pilot training's a big one, too.
00:49:34We went over this a few times, but you remember when those, like, what was it, 787 maxes?
00:49:38Or 737 maxes?
00:49:39I don't remember.
00:49:40But, like, that new model that kept falling out of the sky and fucking blowing up?
00:49:44That was because they changed something and never educated the pilots on it.
00:49:47So what would happen is, like, the system would put it into a fucking nosedive.
00:49:51And they couldn't correct it.
00:49:56There's a prime rose.
00:49:57Once they went from engineering leadership to business leadership, it all went to shit.
00:50:07Well, that's the way of things, unfortunately.
00:50:09That was called the MCAS system.
00:50:12Yep, that's the one.
00:50:13Or, no, wasn't it MCAT?
00:50:15Or am I misremembering?
00:50:16How about, let's look it up.
00:50:20MKAS.
00:50:21You were right.
00:50:27Hey, congrats on the 14-year anniversary meditation.
00:50:38Hope the channel's going well.
00:50:48I'm supposedly, I'm suppo-
00:50:50Jesus.
00:50:51I'm surely supposed to be on a site working for Boeing.
00:50:53They're building a bunch of new hangars in Florida.
00:50:55It's another place to halfway assemble planes.
00:50:58Cool.
00:51:00Have fun.
00:51:05Yeah, a few of them, Jake.
00:51:06And we've gone back to some of the older ones, like the pizza one.
00:51:11You should check out Suno AI.
00:51:13It's so crazy, the quality of the songs it makes.
00:51:15That's the second time I've heard about that.
00:51:16What are we playing tonight?
00:51:25Siege.
00:51:30Later.
00:51:36And no, I have not Vestrix.
00:51:37I haven't looked into all of it yet.
00:51:39There's been so much going on in the Minecraft community, it's been hard to keep up with all of it.
00:51:43But...
00:51:43But I will be checking in on all of it and trying to get all the info.
00:51:59Charlie, you're not getting approved by that guy because esports aren't an Olympic sport.
00:52:03Surprise, you didn't make that connection.
00:52:04I know you're joking about the immigration, but I actually got a lot of really good info today
00:52:08about why we've been getting declined.
00:52:11Thanks to Tier 1 LMAO.
00:52:13And one of the things might legitimately be the name of our org, Moist Esports.
00:52:17Unironically.
00:52:18Like I said, it is a joke in the video, but today we talked to a...
00:52:21Well, Matt talked to a really knowledgeable person
00:52:23who also is a specialist when it comes to immigration stuff.
00:52:28And he said that might actually be a real reason.
00:52:31It's because of the name.
00:52:32Which is tragic.
00:52:35Absolutely fucking tragic.
00:52:44You hear about the girl who went on a reality show to find her mom
00:52:47who abandoned her but discovered she married her brother by accident?
00:52:50What a fucking storyline that is.
00:52:55Nope.
00:52:55News to me.
00:52:57Thanks to Membership Urban.
00:52:59Jesus Christ.
00:53:03That's super sweet.
00:53:03Thanks, Ward.
00:53:10Should have used a reputable name like Boeing.
00:53:12Yeah, for our esports organization.
00:53:15Boeing Esports.
00:53:16What does it violate?
00:53:25It doesn't violate anything.
00:53:27Like I said in the video, it comes down to individuals.
00:53:30And individuals have all of the say-so.
00:53:32So if there's anything they don't like or anything that smells fishy to them,
00:53:36they can just fully, with their own power, say no.
00:53:39So they speculated that the name,
00:53:41since the word moist is so off-putting to so many people,
00:53:44could legitimately be a deterrent.
00:53:46That they're not taking it seriously as like an international thing,
00:53:49regardless of our results.
00:53:50That it is some kind of sham to get them here
00:53:52for some nefarious reason or whatever.
00:53:54And that could legitimately be playing a role
00:53:56in why we're declined and still struggling.
00:54:03Thanks to the anonymous five gift subs.
00:54:04And the resub bunter.
00:54:05So it was your fault.
00:54:17Unintentionally, yeah.
00:54:19Like, moist is not a bad word.
00:54:22In fact, moist is one of the largest brands of shampoo.
00:54:25Well, it's not one of the largest.
00:54:26But like, that Aussie Moist whatever,
00:54:29like, that's a huge brand.
00:54:31Like, I just...
00:54:31It's not a bad word.
00:54:33And no, I don't think so, Frenchie.
00:54:51Thanks to the membership, Maxwell.
00:54:54So what do we name ourselves now?
00:54:57Well, we can't just change the name like that.
00:54:59We've got too many moving parts
00:55:01to just do that willy-nilly.
00:55:02We have a lot of options moving forward, though.
00:55:05It's just a massive fucking headache
00:55:07with this immigration stuff.
00:55:09At least a prime pixel.
00:55:15My tier one boot.
00:55:20Get my really complex in here.
00:55:21Boeing had another accident.
00:55:44You're talking about the, uh...
00:55:46the Boeing aircraft whose engine fucking blew up in midair, right?
00:55:50Caught fire and they had to emergency land.
00:55:52I'm telling you.
00:55:54It's- it's coming.
00:55:58All of these things are fucking failing now.
00:56:00Boeing is...
00:56:03shambles.
00:56:04Shambles.
00:56:04And they killed the whistleblower.
00:56:06I stick by that.
00:56:07Everything points to that whistleblower being murdered by Boeing.
00:56:12This has been happening for years now
00:56:13and it's only getting worse.
00:56:19And yeah, I saw that one, Rogue.
00:56:21Yeah, I'm gonna do the money giveaway
00:56:23towards the end of stream.
00:56:25Give everyone a chance to get their forms submitted
00:56:27and just shoot the shit for a bit.
00:56:31Didn't the whistleblower even say
00:56:33before he went to-
00:56:35Didn't the whistleblower even say
00:56:37before he went to the other county
00:56:38that he was not suicidal?
00:56:41I saw a headline that said that
00:56:42but I didn't look into it myself.
00:56:45So I'm not gonna say that that one's like true or false
00:56:48but I did see a headline where apparently he said
00:56:50if anything happens to me
00:56:52it wasn't suicide or something.
00:56:54Not sure though
00:56:55because I didn't like fact check it
00:56:56but even aside from that
00:56:58all of the evidence points to him
00:56:59not being suicidal in any capacity.
00:57:02He's a membership rogue.
00:57:05Still at Fishman Island, Kylos.
00:57:08He did tell his family it would not be suicide.
00:57:11I believe that.
00:57:13It would be 500 IQ to say that
00:57:15then commit suicide.
00:57:18I don't know if it'd be 500 IQ
00:57:19but that would be a nefarious plan indeed.
00:57:21I don't know what you'd gain from it
00:57:23but that would be a plan.
00:57:26It was reported as a drive-by at first
00:57:30but quickly turned to a suicide.
00:57:32Was it?
00:57:32I don't remember it being reported as a drive-by.
00:57:35I know what that is
00:57:36but I don't think I look like them, Fina.
00:57:40I bet that doesn't help your fear of flying.
00:57:42No, I feel so vindicated with my fear of flying.
00:57:45You're flying in scrap.
00:57:46Literal scrap from Boeing.
00:57:50I guess Airbus might be better.
00:57:52I haven't heard too much bad about Airbus.
00:57:54But if you're on a Boeing,
00:57:55Jesus, start saying your prayers
00:57:57to the Almighty up there
00:57:58because you're in God's hands at that point.
00:58:02Red thread on the Boeing whistleblower win.
00:58:03Oh, you spoiled the surprise for the new episode.
00:58:07But yeah, we're going to do a red thread
00:58:08on the Boeing whistleblower.
00:58:10It's legitimately a fascinating case.
00:58:14This is one that, like, I don't believe in many conspiracies.
00:58:16It's mainly, really, like, the only conspiracy.
00:58:18The only one I believe in is Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
00:58:21And now I truly believe that the whistleblower, Barnett,
00:58:24did not kill himself.
00:58:26That was a hit.
00:58:27That was a Boeing hit right there.
00:58:29Like, you're telling me this man blew his fucking brains out
00:58:31in the hotel parking lot?
00:58:32If he was going to kill himself,
00:58:33he would have just did it in the hotel room, right?
00:58:35And everyone that knew him said he was in high spirits,
00:58:37extremely excited to be done with the case
00:58:38so that way he could finally get justice,
00:58:40like, this and that.
00:58:40There's just nothing in there that adds up
00:58:42to that guy killing himself.
00:58:44No shot. No shot.
00:58:46These type of people don't ever kill themselves.
00:58:47Problem is, Megacorps know Americans are complacent
00:58:49and won't do anything about it.
00:58:51Which is the most interesting part, right?
00:58:53Like, I think, I would argue
00:58:5590% of the world knows
00:58:58Jeffrey Epstein was assassinated.
00:59:01And nothing has changed.
00:59:02Like, there's nothing we can do about it.
00:59:05So what stops them from just killing people
00:59:06in broad daylight, right?
00:59:16What do you want me to do?
00:59:18It's not like I have an idea.
00:59:19I'm just saying.
00:59:21It's not like I have some kind of suggestion.
00:59:23I'm just saying.
00:59:23Like,
00:59:26I think he's a tier one monkey.
00:59:27I think he's a prime twitchy.
00:59:32The ultimate Boeing conspiracy.
00:59:35Well,
00:59:35the whistleblower death is a conspiracy,
00:59:38I suppose.
00:59:38Like, there's conspiracy around it.
00:59:39But Boeing being an absolute
00:59:41evil shady corp
00:59:42that's using scrap parts
00:59:44is confirmed.
00:59:45That's real.
00:59:46No matter how you spin it,
00:59:47no matter how you slice that cake,
00:59:49Boeing is built with fucking scrap.
00:59:51And not even like Tony Stark
00:59:53building this out of scrap
00:59:54in a cave type shit.
00:59:55They're building like
00:59:55some janky ass planes right now
00:59:58just to meet production deadlines.
01:00:01It's insane how bad it is.
01:00:02They were so focused on
01:00:03outproducing Airbus
01:00:04and making their parts
01:00:04not interchangeable
01:00:05so they had to buy
01:00:06buy specific from Boeing
01:00:08that Airbus is just making
01:00:09more and better planes.
01:00:10The whole thing is crazy, yeah.
01:00:12The new Boeing whistleblower.
01:00:14Yeah.
01:00:14Oh, I forgot to look into him,
01:00:15actually.
01:00:16Thanks for reminding me.
01:00:17They came forward
01:00:20a couple days ago.
01:00:23New Boeing whistleblower says
01:00:24plane maker cut corners
01:00:25on its Dreamliner jets.
01:00:27I'm doing this not because
01:00:28I want Boeing to fail
01:00:29but because I want to
01:00:29prevent crashes.
01:00:32Horrifying.
01:00:33After a former engineer
01:00:34claimed the company
01:00:35has schedule over safety
01:00:37mentality that leads
01:00:38to potential defects
01:00:38on the 777
01:00:39and the 787 Dreamliner jets,
01:00:42Boeing is already
01:00:42undergoing an investigation
01:00:45by the FAA
01:00:46after a door plug flew out
01:00:47of the Alaska Airlines
01:00:48craft mid-flight.
01:00:50In an update in March,
01:00:51the FAA said it had
01:00:52identified non-compliance
01:00:53issues in Boeing's
01:00:54manufacturing process control.
01:00:58Where's the new stuff?
01:00:59The whistleblower added,
01:01:00the truth is Boeing
01:01:00can't keep going
01:01:01the way that it is.
01:01:02It needs to do
01:01:03a little bit better,
01:01:04I think.
01:01:05What an understatement.
01:01:07The complaint
01:01:08alleges Boeing
01:01:09had taken shortcuts,
01:01:12believes that debris
01:01:13was left in interfaces
01:01:14and composite materials
01:01:15had been deformed
01:01:16during the construction
01:01:17process,
01:01:19alleges that the
01:01:20defects are generally
01:01:21not detectable
01:01:22through visual inspection
01:01:23and could ultimately
01:01:24cause a premature
01:01:25fatigue failure
01:01:26without any warning.
01:01:29That's scary.
01:01:30Boeing has rejected
01:01:31such claims
01:01:32because obviously
01:01:34it will.
01:01:34It's not going to come out
01:01:34and be like,
01:01:35yeah, you know,
01:01:35this dude's actually right.
01:01:36We've just been putting
01:01:37all this fucking scrap metal
01:01:38on there and using
01:01:38Dawn dish soap,
01:01:39so he's like right on the money.
01:01:41These things will probably
01:01:42fall apart any minute now.
01:01:43But we met the deadline.
01:01:47These claims about
01:01:47the structural integrity
01:01:48of the 787 are inaccurate.
01:01:50The issues raised
01:01:51have been subject
01:01:52to rigorous engineering
01:01:53examination under
01:01:54FAA oversight,
01:01:56which again,
01:01:57I won't get into
01:01:59too much detail,
01:02:00but Boeing is highly
01:02:01corrupt in pretty much
01:02:02every avenue
01:02:02and has their fingers
01:02:04in a lot of different pies.
01:02:06They don't really get
01:02:07the inspections
01:02:07that they should.
01:02:09This analysis
01:02:09has validated
01:02:10that these issues
01:02:11do not present
01:02:12any safety concerns
01:02:13and the aircraft
01:02:14will maintain
01:02:14its service life
01:02:15over several decades.
01:02:18He claims that he saw
01:02:19the 777 was a rollout
01:02:21on a new assembly process
01:02:22that was done
01:02:22without the necessary
01:02:23redesign of relevant parts,
01:02:25which has led
01:02:25to a misalignment
01:02:26of parts.
01:02:27These chronic defects
01:02:28pose grave risks
01:02:29and Boeing has ignored
01:02:31his concerns
01:02:32and failed to take
01:02:33remedial action.
01:02:34What a great company.
01:02:37There's a tier one
01:02:38full magazine
01:02:38ripped to him
01:02:40in advance.
01:02:41Yeah, hopefully
01:02:41he's already got
01:02:43funeral plans
01:02:43picked out
01:02:44and his family
01:02:47is being notified
01:02:47ahead of time
01:02:48so that way
01:02:49he can spend
01:02:49the last hours
01:02:51he has in this
01:02:51corporeal realm
01:02:52with them.
01:02:54What's going on
01:02:55with the trout population?
01:02:56Anything crazy?
01:02:58Let's see,
01:02:58Resub El Mago.
01:03:02No, this is the
01:03:03newest Boeing whistleblower.
01:03:05He's still alive,
01:03:07though I'm sure
01:03:07Boeing will do
01:03:08everything they can
01:03:08to change that quickly.
