Boeing prioritized speed and profit over safety.
John Barnett spent 32 years with Boeing before retiring in 2017, was providing testimony in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company prior to his death.

A conspiracy theory alleging that Boeing had assassinated Barnett spread widely after a woman who identified herself as a friend of Barnett's said that Barnett told her, "If anything happens to me, it's not suicide." She said that "they made [his death] look like a suicide." Boeing released a statement saying "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's death, and our thoughts are with his friends and family." Knowles and Turkewitz told CBS News that "Barnett was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it." Turkewitz called for a police investigation into his death, but later told Fox News that he did not believe Boeing had orchestrated his death. Barnett's family said that "he was looking forward to having his day in court and hoped that it would force Boeing to change its culture," and that "he was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing which we believe led to his death". His attorneys said in a statement after the release of the coroner's report, "Mr. Barnett’s last words make clear that while Boeing may not have pulled the trigger, the company is responsible for his death."
In May 2024, the conspiracy theory that Boeing had plotted to have whistleblowers murdered again spread on social media after another aviation whistleblower associated with Boeing also represented by Barnett's attorney, Brian Knowles, died less than two months later. Joshua Dean, a former quality inspector for the contractor Spirit AeroSystems, a 2005 Boeing spin-off, checked himself into the hospital after experiencing difficulty breathing from contracting influenza B and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). He died two weeks later after developing pneumonia and suffering a stroke. Dean and other workers at the Wichita, Kansas factory testified that they had been instructed to downplay or hide production defects on the 737 Max, which had a door plug blow off mid-flight in January 2024.

"I think they were sending out a message to anybody else," Dean said. "If you are too loud, we will silence you."

"The order we are seeking would invalidate the unlawful deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, and ensure that they are under the command of their actual commander-in-chief… Governor Gavin Newsom," said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. "It would also restrict the Marines to appropriate activities while in Los Angeles."
Newsom argues the situation, which has been relatively confined to a few square blocks in downtown Los Angeles, doesn't justify the use of Section 12406 in Title 10, which Trump invoked to send the National Guardsmen.
