🧵 In Apple's recent flurry of frivolous motions in the civil lawsuit, Apple motioned for something so bizarre that I could not find any legal or factual precedent for it. #Apple found a copy of my #SEC#whistleblower complaint (filed to the SEC about Apple) & Apple tried to request Judicial Notice of it for Apple's defense, despite not being a party to it & that also not being how judicial notice works.
The Insider (Russell Crowe, Al Pacino), 1999, depicts what happens when whistleblowers are protected,
Michael Clayton (Tilda Swinton, George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson), 2007, depicts what happens when people take advantage of mental health "concerns" to murder whistleblowers.
Unterlagen fehlen: Boeing-Skandal wird immer größer
Ein toter Whistleblower, überschriebene Videos und nun auch noch angeblich unauffindbare Unterlagen: Der Flugzeugbauer Boeing stürzt immer tiefer in die Krise. Die Unfallermittlungsbehörde NTSB ist alarmiert.
A former Boeing employee who had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company has been found dead in South Carolina, authorities said.
CBS News reports the man "had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems on the" Dreamliner model.
NEW: “62-year-old Boeing #whistleblower John Barnett found dead in his truck after he didn't show up for a legal interview linked to a case against Boeing.
Barnett worked for #boeing for 32 years and retired in 2017. After retiring, Barnett spoke out about how Boeing was cutting corners on their airplanes.
Just days before his death, Barnett gave evidence in a lawsuit against Boeing. Barnett accused Boeing of "deliberately fitting sub-standard parts" on their aircraft. 1/4

"The Inquistions didn't set out to silence #Galileo...it could have just assassinated him....Instead, the Inquisition persecuted Galileo, in a very high-profile manner
...The point of persecuting Galileo was to convince Descartes to self-censor... [and] "thousands of other major thinkers of the time wrote differently,...because they self-censored after the Galileo trial."
Apple's defense in my #Superfund#whistleblower case appears to be that only Northrop Grumman is responsible for anything that occurs related to the toxic waste it dumped under my #Apple office in the 70s, & thus Apple can do whatever it wants related to that existing toxic waste & Superfund site (including threatening witnesses who could report Apple's apparent environmental crimes) without consequence. Cool. This will go great for them.
Railroad companies have penalized #workers for taking the time to make needed repairs and created a culture in which supervisors threaten and fire the very people hired to keep #trains running safely.
