As the Ides of March approach, marking the notorious assassination of Julius Caesar, and with the spring equinox, Easter, and a significant solar eclipse on the horizon, the latest episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable delves into the magnetic pull of these historical events and their contemporary echoes.
In a riveting discussion, we explore the mysterious death of John Barnett, a Boeing veteran of thirty years and whistleblower, whose suicide note has been withheld by the police. This incident has opened a Pandora's box of issues surrounding Boeing, including the company's recent overwriting of video evidence and loss of documentation related to a malfunctioning door on an Alaskan flight. The subsequent designation of involved parties as 'medically unfit' for testimony by their legal team adds another layer of intrigue, especially in light of Boeing's hefty $2.5-billion fine for defrauding the FAA just three years ago.
But the episode goes beyond the Boeing controversy to question the broader implications of mechanical failures in aviation. With reports of planes turning around due to mechanical issues, wheels falling off, and fires trailing engines, we ask: if these incidents are not as uncommon as we think, why the sudden concern? The episode also critiques the role of social media sleuths with no engineering expertise in amplifying fears over airplane safety.
Amidst the growing scrutiny and fear surrounding Boeing and air travel, the episode also touches on how proponents of de-industrialization are leveraging these fears to argue for the cessation of air traffic. This thought-provoking narrative invites listeners to consider the complexities of technological trust and safety in our modern world.
