⚡A whistleblower who accused a Boeing supplier of ignoring defects in the production of the 737 MAX has died, family members and his lawyer have said.

Joshua Dean, a former Spirit AeroSystems employee who alleged he was fired in retaliation for flagging lax standards at the company’s Wichita, Kansas, manufacturing plant, died on Tuesday after a sudden illness, his aunts and sister said in posts on social media.

Dean’s lawyer Brian Knowles said his client’s death was a “loss to the aviation community and the flying public”.


“He possessed tremendous courage to stand up for what he felt was true and right and raised quality and safety issues. Aviation companies should encourage and incentivise those that do raise these concerns. Otherwise, safety and quality are truly not these companies’ top priorities,” Knowles told Al Jazeera.

Spirit AeroSystems said the company’s thoughts were with his family.

“This sudden loss is stunning news here at Spirit and for his loved ones,” a spokesperson told Al Jazeera.

Dean’s mother wrote in a Facebook post last month that her son was “fighting for his life” after contracting pneumonia and suffering a stroke following an MRSA infection.

US Law Enforcement Underestimated the amount of Supporters and others Demonstrators who would be there tonight, so they are likely waiting for additional Units from LAPD, LASD, CHP, and other Agencies to arrive On-Scene before beginning any kind of Arrests.

⚡ The United States criticized the adoption of the law “on foreign agents” in Georgia.

The State Department said that it was “inspired by the Kremlin,” and that the Georgian authorities want to use it to “silence critical voices and destroy Georgia’s active civil society.”

“This law and the anti-Western rhetoric of the Georgian Dream have put Georgia on a dangerous trajectory. The statements and actions of the Georgian government are incompatible with the democratic values that underpin membership in the EU and NATO, and thereby jeopardize Georgia’s path to Euro-Atlantic integration,” it says in the message.

The State Department says the bill could undermine relations between Georgia and the United States.

US and Saudi Arabia are nearing a historic deal to "reshape the Middle East" Bloomberg reports.

"US and Saudi Arabia are nearing a historic pact that would offer the kingdom security guarantees and lay out a possible pathway to diplomatic ties with Israel

The agreement faces plenty of obstacles but would amount to a new version of a framework that was scuttled when Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel triggered the conflict in the Gaza Strip.


Negotiations have sped up in recent weeks and many officials are optimistic that Washington and Riyadh could reach a deal within weeks, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.

Such a deal would potentially reshape the Middle East. Beyond bolstering Israel and Saudi Arabia’s security, it would strengthen the US’s position in the region at the expense of Iran and even China.

The pact may offer Saudi Arabia an arrangement strong enough to need the US Senate’s approval and even give the world’s biggest oil exporter access to advanced US weapons that were previously off-limits.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would agree to limit Chinese technology from his nation’s most sensitive networks in exchange for major US investments, and get American help to build out its civilian nuclear program."

⚡Iran announced on Thursday sanctions on several American and British individuals and entities for supporting Israel in its war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The Islamic republic, the regional arch-foe of Israel, unveiled the punitive measures in a statement from its foreign ministry.

It said the sanctions targeted seven Americans, including General Bryan P. Fenton, commander of the US special operations command, and Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, a former commander of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.

British officials and entities targeted include Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps, commander of the British army strategic command James Hockenhull and the UK Royal Navy in the Red Sea.

Penalties were also announced against US firms Lockheed Martin and Chevron and British counterparts Elbit Systems, Parker Meggitt and Rafael UK.

This is the same USA law of foreign agent.
USA even branded many foreign TV stations foreign agent.

The same USA is funding some Georgians to protest against something the same USA will never allow in their homeland.

Many countries, particularly the US, UK, and EU states, use NGOs as a front for spying, influencing government policy, and funding politicians, elections, protests and uprisings.

So, Georgia wants to pass a law that will require any NGO that receives 20% of its funding from any entity outside of Georgia, to register as an organisation working on behalf of a foreign government.

Those protesters (who are funded by those same NGOs) are then protesting against the Georgian government signing such bill.
Ok thanks
It actually a good bill
