McDonnell Douglas are hardly the Mafia.
No, way worse - they’re MBAs.

It's always hard for that lone wolf to know if it's just a dog whistle or a true call to action. But I'm sure that's exactly the way it's intended to allow for plausible deniability. "I never meant for someone to take me seriously. I was just venting. Locker room talk."
Fwiw, the dog whistle _is_ the call to action. It's mildly amusing that the connotation has inverted though.
“Trainers may use the whistle simply to gather a dog's attention, or to inflict pain for the purpose of behaviour modification.”

Seems to go both ways, but without a doubt it gets the animal’s attention.

>Does anyone believe that Epstein killed himself? Yes. People of high status frequently take their lives when they realize everything's gone down the drain.
On suicide watch, with both guards asleep and the cameras out?
Maybe that was the murder. A guy who wants to kill himself and you tell the guard to look the other way and let him do it.

Well, how do you take down some blog, if there is no legal base for it, because all the content was obvious legal? If there would have been a legal angle, they would have send out lawyers letters instead. That was apparently not an option, so crime was the only way to go. And that no one at the top gets prosecuted for this, is quite disappointing.
File fake DMCA claim with the hosting company, drop of if challenged, file and cease and desist with the ISP threatening vaguely and claim it has slanderous/lible and your willing to sue and they will often take it down, buy a few bitcoin run them through a tumbler to anonymize them and pay a bot farm to ddos the site until your host drops you to make it go away.
Apparently you would have done a more discrete job.

One of the richest men in Norway cultivated a relationship with a torpedo and used his services on several occasions. It happens.
As a fellow Norwegian now living in the UK: That term is so archaic and unusual in English that odds are quite a few people won't know it at all (In 24 years in the UK I don't think I've ever heard it used) For the non-Norwegians: "Torpedo" in Norwegian has adopted the 1920s US slang for a hit man / hired gun, and in Norwegian it's in common, contemporary use, though more often for threats and violence than outright…
Okay that was making me think of the guy who had intimate relations with unexploded WWII artillery shell a few years ago (https://www.businessinsider.com/france-man-had-wwi-shell-lod...) and wondering how a that would work physically considering the size of a torpedo, and how it related to hitmen. Thing are much clearer now.

#306Oh so in Russia its jumping out a window and in the USA its some random method of suicide? Why not be specific, and consistent, like Russia?
Because in Russia it is an open message to the public 'don't mess with the KGB or we kill you and maybe your children'. Everybody knows and understands who is the sender and the message. Classic mafia move of intimidation. It is a message to the living. In the Western World the secret services kill to silence people, not to broadcast messages to the public. Quite the opposite PR strategy.
well, if i had some dirty laundry from boeing i think i would have gotten a message here ...

> jumping out a window Or a poisoning with a ludicrously rare poison, a strange car crash, a plane falling out the sky, dying at a gulag when you were fine a few days earlier etc etc. It’s a very unsafe place when you don’t toe the line.
> a plane falling out the sky > It’s a very unsafe place when you don’t toe the line. This one seems less like "it's a very unsafe place" and more like Prigozhin was trying to be killed. He went into open armed rebellion and negotiated a deal where he was exiled to Belarus. Then he went back to Russia, where he experienced a fatal plane crash. He would have to have been a total idiot not to see that coming.† What hap…
> He would have to have been a total idiot not to see that coming
The confusing bit for me is why did it go on for so long? It’s one thing to kill him, but seemingly letting him back into Putin’s circle before killing him is surprising. I hope to hear the story one day.

>This happens way too often 1. What some other recent occurrences? 2. What's the baseline rate of suicides we should expect for people in high stress positions, like being a whistleblower? How many people could plausibly be categorized as "whistleblowers"?
I knew this would come up, but couldn't think of specifics other than I've seen it go by on social media seemingly yearly. I vividly remember one two or three years ago, of an Asian man I think in NYC who kept videoing the police calling them corrupt, telling the world if he died it was the police. Well, he died. The police said it wasn't the police. Sadly, I can't find this Googling. I'd say it's happened enough to…
There are accusations on social media all the time and 99% are complete BS. Be more skeptical.
