Breaking news article of special interest to anyone reading this Blog:

You may have thought that Dominic Gates and The Seattle Times (TST) would have been cowed at this point from writing and publishing rightfully hard hitting news about Boeing/FAA management corruption risking people's safety for more Boeing bottom line dollars and quid pro quo FAA management Boeing jobs, considering all of the unethical if not "extra-legal" (outside the law) pressure Boeing has put on TST as noted on this blog.

I am glad that Dominic has not been detered by Boeing's heavy handed attempts to intimidate his newspaper from doing their critical jobs. His front page Seattle Times article on TST's most read day (today, Sunday, February 8th) proves otherwise.

The press is not perfect by far. Investigative journalism as Dominic has demonstrated in this article is a dying art, and one that powerful Boeing and their outside counsel have been doing their best to put to death wrongfully forever in order to cover up any public knowledge of Boeing management corruption of the worst possible kind--Boeing management corruption that intentionally places millions of lives of the public at much greater risk in order to add just a few more dollars to Boeing's bottom line and in their own pockets. It is the same corruption I risked my job and entire life to bring to an end. Boeing terminated me and ruined my life and tried to imprison me for doing so, but I still persist in trying to end this unholy marriage of Boeing/FAA management personal greed. That very Boeing/FAA management corruption still arrogantly exists right up to the present moment, however, as demonstrated by Dominic's powerful article.

Dominic is an Irish-American who looks nothing like "Braveheart" (Mel Gibson, in the film) does. However, he does share one uncanny quality with "Braveheart"--bravery, and should be applauded everywhere for it.

I myself also look nothing like "Braveheart" does as well, but Boeing and their outside counsel have been trying to do to me in effect exactly what the king did to Braveheart in the last scene of that movie. Injustice, indeed. Only the very corrupt deserve such a fate, and I don't wish to point out any specific candidates in Boeing management that I might think deserve that fate because I don't think like those corrupt acters obviously do, as judged by their actions. Better to turn the other cheek than cast the first stone, methinks.

But enough of such a clumsy introduction. Follow the link below to Dominic's wonderful article exposing FAA/Boeing management corruption in detail never before seen except on my blog and website, and read my comments on the article on the comments section for the article on The Seattle Times website:

Can you believe that Boeing, their outside counsel, and Dan Satterberg (the King County Prosecutor) tried to put me in prison for leaking the original 787 lightning story-- http://community.seattletimes.nwsource. ... g=boeing05--to Dominic in (futile, up to this point) efforts to save lives before the 787 entered service?

At least, thanks to Dominic's follow up on the original story I was accused of working with him on, some 787 passengers and crew will know before they board it just what a "bucket O' lightning hot composite wing tank bolts" they are literally getting into, if they were to make that mistake.

LOL. Read the comments on the article on the TST website. One commenter has a fantastic comment that will solve this 787 safety problem that corrupt FAA and Boeing management have tried thusfar to cover up rather than fix--make Boeing and FAA higher management fly on 787 test flights through severe thunderstorms with the inerting system off as they are now proposing that unknowing 787 passengers and cabin crew do when and if the airplane enters service!

That commenter has nailed the perfect solution to all of this in the face of the current arrogant FAA/Boeing management corruption that seeks to make the 787 less safe for Boeing profitability and 787 production debacle make schedule purposes. If they were forced to fly on them in that condition, they would reverse course immediately in order to save the only bacon that ever seems to matter to them--their own
