Boeing is a US based arms manufacturer which also makes civilian aircraft. Since their fusion with manufacturer McDonnell Douglas, the revolving door and an increase in prioritizing Wall Street has caused a deadly decrease in build quality of their products. In 2019 Alex Kane listed them as the #1 war profiteer from the War in Yemen.[1]
According to the American Safety Network, their 737 series plane have caused over 529 aviation accidents and incidents which have resulted in a total of 5,779 fatalities.[2]

In 1997 Boeing took over McDonnell Douglas.[3]
Malaysian Airlines

- Full article: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a scheduled flight on 8 March 2014 which apparently disappeared without trace, a quite unbelievable feat with modern technology. The prime-minister of Malaysia at the time of the final investigation, Mahathir Mohamad (backed by researchers like Peter Myers), implicated the CIA and plane-builder Boeing were covering up what they actually knew.[4] Private investigators that beat a $200 million search, found witnesses and evidence on the Maldives were followed, threatened or assassinated, with most investigations later on pointing to black site Diego Garcia playing some role.[5]
Remote Autopilot?
“Clearly Boeing and certain agencies have the capacity to take over ‘uninterruptible control’ of commercial airliners of which MH370 B777 is one. Someone is hiding something, it is not fair that… Malaysia should take the blame. For some reason, the media will not print anything that involves Boeing or the CIA"”
Mahathir Mohamad (2014) [6]
A December 23, 2014 article from the New Zealand Herald and France24 reported that Marc Dugain, the former chief executive of now-defunct Proteus Airlines had a new theory regarding the plane; It was shot down[7]. after being hacked around Diego Garcia. His claims were met with a lot of scepticism. Mahathir Mohamad was visible spooked when discovering - after pushing for questioning how a plane in 2010s could disappear with satellites hovering above the entire world - the media globally refused to investigate or start questioning Boeing (who have a remote autopilot[8]patented but denied to have built into their newest planes) or the CIA (who work with British intelligence agency MI6 at Diego Garcia).[9]
In a blog post, the Malaysian PM doubled down on his claims further remarking “Airplanes can go up and stay up for long periods of time. But even they must come down eventually. They can land safely or they may crash. But airplanes don’t just disappear. Certainly not these days with all the powerful communication systems, radio, and satellite tracking and filmless cameras which operate almost indefinitely and possess huge storage capacities" and that “the ‘uninterruptible’ autopilot would be activated—either by the pilot, by onboard sensors, or even remotely by radio or satellite links by government agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency, if terrorists attempt to gain control of the flight deck".
Electronic Magnetic Pulse
Boeing's CHAMP Missile Demo - Directed High Frequency Microwave Disables Electronics (EMP) - Garrett Fogerlie |
Boeing reported in 2013 it successfully fired a missile that destroyed electronics circuits using a powerful electromagnetic pulse. According to them, the missile causes virtually no unintended damage. A test with the Champ missile, short for Counter Electronics High Powered advanced missile project, was successfully carried out at a military test complex in Utah. The launched missile fired a powerful electromagnetic pulse above a two-story building housing mobile products using computers. The microelectronics in the targets, including a series of installed PCs, were all disabled indefinitely. The EMP rocket employed technology resulting in the cameras filming the test rooms in the buildings rendered harmless by the electromagnetic weapon. During the one-hour test, a total of seven targets were reportedly attacked with the Champ missile.[10]
737 MAX Crisis
On 29 October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610, a Boeing 737 MAX model aircraft, crashed in the Java Sea, killing all 189 occupants.[11]
Downfall: The Case Against Boeing |
On 10 March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, also a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, crashed in Tulu Fara--a village in Ethiopia--resulting in the deaths of 157 occupants.[12] The next day, on 11 March 2019, China's Civil Aviation Administration issued grounding orders for all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. As of 8 October 2021, the order is still in effect.[13]
On 13 March 2019, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued grounding orders for all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.[14]. The order expired 18 November 2020[15] On 23 December 2019, CEO Dennis Muilenberg announced his resignation from the company, ostensibly to repair Boeing's relationships with regulators and stakeholders in the wake of the air disasters.[16]
Revolving Door
The Pentagon's revolving door appears to be in full swing at Boeing with for example Heidi Grant, who most recently served as the director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the agency within the US Department of Defense that decides and manages US foreign military sales. From 2017 to 2020, the DSCA’s budgeted $50.9 billion per year for that task. Grant became Boeing’s lead on the firm’s defense, space, and government services portfolio. According to the US Project on Government Oversight, Grant was negotiating a contract to join Boeing while also publicly touting the firm’s F15-QA fighter jets as “the most capable fighters in the world” and “a transformational leap in capability.” POGO learned from a DOD spokesperson that Grant notified the agency that she was involved in contract negotiations with Boeing as early as July 29, 2021. Grant ultimately revolved just a single day after she left her government post. From 2019 to 2022, Boeing hired at least 23 former Pentagon employees of the DoD.[17]
Arms Deals
In 2018, Donald Trump intervened on behalf of Boeing to move forward on a $10 billion fighter jet deal that had been stalled for more than a year.[18]
War Crimes?
The firm has been criticized for supplying nefarious entities, including the Yemen Civil War where its missiles were found to be used for missile strikes of dozens of population centers.[19]
During the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War, students and scholars protested at Boeing offices in Missouri, Washington, and Oregon. Students at the Florida State University, University of Washington, Saint Louis University ordered their schools to break partnerships with Boeing. Students went on hunger strike at Brown University after reports Boeing delivered 1,000 small diameter bombs in the first week of Israeli air attacks on Gaza shipped from a US Air Force base by IDF, fulfilling a $50 billion contract, according to the Portland Mercury.[20][21][22]

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 | “This report makes no attempt or claim to prove that the large low flying jet plane seen over Kudahuvadhoo that fateful early morning was MH 370. It merely sets the record straight that the jet plane that overflew Kudahuvadhoo has not yet been identified. The Maldives government first claimed there was "no plane", then the plane was a "private jet", then fifteen months later a "domestic propeller plane flight", then back to "no plane", then finally to say it cannot be discussed due to "national security".” | Blaine Gibson | 2016 |
