Whistleblowers are neither respected or protected in the “new” America. Instead they are silenced—either by cooperating or by refusing to do so.

two Boeing whistleblowers, Joshua Dean and John Barnett, have died, raising concerns about safety and quality issues within the company. Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, died from a severe bacterial infection, while Barnett, a former Boeing employee, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
