Now, as for Mr.Beesley, he’s a test pilot and also an LM employee>if I understood correctly. He speaks what has been cleared by LM (I though that was a common knowledge, but it seems that it needs to be emphasized, after all).
As such (LM’s employee), his statements can’t be taken into account, since that would be a legislation category > “conflict of interests”, right?
ANY spokesperson from ANY company who speaks about something that has not been cleared could loose his/her job. Beesley is not in some unique position as he falls into this category.
Question: If simply having a “conflict of interest” (COI) precludes anything you say and therefore “can’t be taken into account”, where would we get any info?
1. We can’t trust any other AC manufacture since they are direct competitors to LM and financially benefit if LM fails.
2. We cant’ trust the Pentagon since promotions are based on the success of the program.
3. We can’t trust members of congress because they receive money from companies to get elected, LM and others.
4. We can’t trust foreign Mil and Gov due to #2 and #3 above.
5. We can’t trust Kopp & Goon because they wanted to financially gain from a F-22 & F-111 combo package for Australia.
6. We can’t trust Sprey because he is stuck in the mental mode of LWF and looses face as the F-22 & F-35 programs succeed.
Do you see how bad the idea of ignoring someone because they have a COI is?
The key to independent thinking and analysis to understanding the COI as part of the whole picture.
