    So in other words, very plausible deniability.

    https://allthatsinteresting.com/heart-attack-gun

    We had that tech in 1968. I’m pretty sure it would be a matter of a phone call and some change from the couch cushions for Boeing to create the recent outcome.

    Does this mean they did it? No.

    Does it warrant the reaction folks are having about it? Absolutely yes. (Edit - In light of their current troubles and the fate of the prior whistleblower.)

      So “it can be done” is now evidence of a grand conspiracy? What did I say that remotely indicated I didn’t think it was possible from a logistics perspective? How does showing me the existence of a heart attack gun from the 60s prove boeing murdered people? How is any of this relevant?

      This is why conspiracy theories don’t die. “It’s possible that…” becomes “I could see that…” then it becomes “that happened.” All without a single shred of evidence necessary. We have wild imaginations.

        I stand by that statement, and don’t feel like trying again to connect the dots on the relevancy of my example for you. Whatever you are arguing about is - not the same.

          I have said multiple times this warrants an investigation. The issue is people here have already decided what the facts are.

        From the article:

        All that would be left behind was a tiny red dot where the dart entered the body, undetectable to those who didn’t know to look for it.

        They may have ironed that out, this article is talking about tech that is more than half a century old. We got from first aeroplane to man on the moon in less than that.

          Well that’s it. Case closed. The existence of a heart attack gun in 1968 proves Boeing killed 2 whistleblowers in 2024. Good job gang.

            Literally no one has made that statement, including me, the guy who brought up the heart attack gun. Take a breath man.
