"I do not. I believe people, including myself, are foolish enough without alcohol” “I am not using mind altering substances. I have not used any mind altering substances since 1983. I do not even drink. I am aggressively opposed to drugs and alcohol. I do drink coffee, and recently took up smoking"

Did you really evade the police by dressing up in a speedo and screaming at people in German, as you describe here: http://www.whoismcafee.com/watchfulness/

There is a substantial risk of a bioterrorist attack on the US from the Hezbollah operations in Mexico. Whether you believe John McAfee's revelations or not:

The truth is the scenario he presents is possible entirely plausible.

The solution is to enforce the Federal border control laws. The Feds won't do it. So the Arizona State government took matters into their own hands and created a state law that was similar to the Federal law, but Arizona would be able to enforce it. The Obama Administration took Arizona to court and the state border law cannot be enforced (not that the Obama Administration also took states to court to stop them defending Constitutional rights by enacting anti-Sharia legislation; since Sharia is opposed to all other Constitutional right). The Obama Administration's solution was instead to put up signs warning US citizens to stay away from areas where the narcos and people smugglers operate:

Enforcing *existing laws* would do more for border security that some gadgets. Just as drugs come in that border it is easy for ricin or other bioagents to come in. Hezbollah and their Iran backers would just love to have the option to sow terror in the US with a bioattack: in addition to the option they have of two dozen Shahab 3 IRBM missiles they have installed in Venezuela; and will probably upgrade to Shahab 5 missiles with nuclear warheads soon. Don't worry, your President has just appointed Hagel who thinks that talking with the Iranians is best. Yes, they Iranians have already had a decade of talks and more talks will just give them more time to finish their nukes (which they are close to having the capability of making, if they haven't made one already; US intelligence is not sure it can tell the difference).

All this means the US was wrong to oppose Arizona in making a State law that enforced Federal laws that weren't being enforced. It also means that US citizens are in a greater danger than they have ever been before - but their mainstream media is not reporting on this stuff, so the majority of people are still asleep to the threats that are arising.

Before you mod me down or counter-post, please collect your citations that refuse the existence of the signs that warn US citizens because the border has effectively been ceded to narcos; or evidence against the Iranian IRBMs in Venezuela; or evidence against Hezbollah wanting to conduct bio-attacks on US soil. I doubt you'll find objective links. These threats are real - and fortunately the US agencies have been more competent than the jihadis and narcos, so far. Although the ATF "Fast and Furious" scandal does make one wonder - what the hell was the Obama Administration thinking?

What about Sam, the Belizean chick a fourth of his age who followed him all along? Is she going to get kicked back to Belize?

But I see no sign that he's trying to go back to the US. Did he surrender his US citizenship?

It's been reported in news stories and by McAfee himself that he spoke with the American embassy in Guatemala about returning to the US. They said they wouldn't help him. Presumably something about respecting the sovereignty of both Guatemala and Belize, and the right of each to enforce its own laws on people within its own borders.

The guy has sex with underage girls

Not that same BS again about Samantha being underage.

As much as some of you are repulsed by the idea of a 66 years old man with a 20 years old younger woman, that doesn't make her remotely underage.

The blog in question is titled: "Who is McAfee?" Wouldn't "Where in the World Is John McAfee?" be a more appropriate title? *rimshot*

I'm not sure his blog is doing him many favours at the moment, either. For most people, "batshit insane paranoia" is not quite as closely connected "innocent" as he seems to think.

"How long can the press maintain the “Drug crazed madman” perspective? I think it will end with Vice Magazine’s story. They have seen, and heard everything."

...I have to admit, reading that blog entry, 'drug-crazed madman' was pretty much the first thing that sprang to mind.

What a great article. No indication of what the actual blog address is except in an image.

The fella's website is http://www.whoismcafee.com/

Here we can find http://www.whoismcafee.com/i-am-safe/

My “double”, carrying on a North Korean passport under my name, was in fact detained in Mexico for pre-planned misbehavior, but due to indifference on the part of authorities was evicted from the jail and was unable to serve his intended purpose in our exit plan. He is now safely out of Mexico.

Frankly, I don't know why anyone would link to Network World when they don't link to their sources.

Anyway I just wanted to say that. I don't actually care about the story.

Hello,

I have actually been reading Dr. McAfee's blog, The Hinterland, since it started, as well as his replies to comments and listened to his interviews. I also worked for him for about eleven years across different companies and have known him for about twice as long.

While at times Dr. McAfee does sound like he is under stress and duressâ"he's snapped at a number of commentators at times for not reading earlier blog postsâ"he has remained cogent and lucid throughout these events, and a determination to see justice done: Dr. McAfee has offered an award of $25,000BZ (about $12,500USD) for information leading to the capture and arrest of the murderer of his neighbor, which is more than anyone else has done, including the government down there. He has also shown occasional glimpses of a wry sense of humor about how things are going, which seems to indicate a full understanding of the situation and use of his faculties.

While there are a lot of things about this case which do not make sense, there are a quite a few which do, such as Dr. McAfee's increasing difficulties with Belizean politicians when he refused to pay them bribes. This has been documented in the Belizean press.

Your comments about Dr. McAfee sound mean spirited and based more on wishful thinking than anything else.

Hello,

I am a former employee of Dr. John McAfee here, and would like to see if I can clear up some of the misperceptions about him that have arisen in this thread.

John took a leave of absence from McAfee Associates in 1993 for health reasons, which became permanent in 1994, and he divested himself of interest in the company as quickly as he could (i.e., subject to stock lockouts and the like). At the time he left, McAfee Associates had DOS, Novell, OS/2 and Windows 3.1 products. He certainly had nothing to do with the design or development of McAfee Associates' products after that. As a matter of fact, if it just says "McAfee" on it (sans "Associates"), it's pretty much a given that he was not involved with it.

I first met John when I was in high school, and started working for him after I graduated. One of the first things he did after employing me was read me the riot act regarding drugs and alcohol. At the time, he had been sober for just under a decade (eight or nine years, I think), but prior to that told me about how he had abused all sorts of substances, and as a result he had never done a single thing in his life that was worthwhile before quitting. I took John's advice to heart and have avoided these all my life.

While John was running McAfee Associates, we had a strict no alcohol/no drugs policy, and there was no drinking allowed at the company, at company events or even just going out for a meal. Showing up drunk, stoned or otherwise impaired would be a great way to get yourself fired.

In Belize, John started up several business ventures, one of which was looking at bacterial quorum sensing as an antibiotic. That fell through, and he changed focus to topical antiseptic compounds. He had reporters coming through all the time, as well as people, I believe, from the national hospital and university, so it should have been readily apparent to those who were knowledgeable in such matters that he was doing bio-pharmaceutical prospecting and not running a meth lab.

That said, it is particularly understandable how law enforcement would feel about a rich expat coming to their company and setting up a research lab. It probably looked like a cleaner, better-equipped version of the drug labs they were used to raiding. If the police had talked to the health officials, they could probably have arranged for regular inspections.

John has had continuous run-in's with politicians in Belize over the years, which you can read about over in his blog or elsewhere in the news. Without getting into the details of how Belize operates, it is apparent he believes that country's politicians are corrupt and is fearful for his life as a consequence. Just looking at the responses from the police and politicians there, it seems they are doing little to allay his fears. Calling him names is not going to help, nor is not addressing his claims of corruption or claims that they are holding his former employees hostage.

A lot of the conversations I have seen revolve around calling John McAfee crazy, paranoid, bonkers and so forth. But consider this: Each time he says something outlandish about where he his hiding, how he is monitoring things, et cetera, he causes law enforcement to expend efforts to find him. In a sense, it is kind of a war of attrition against them. In that context, this is not crazy at all, but rather very sensible and practical behavior in light of current circumstances.

Anyhow, I hope that puts things into context about the man behind the name.

he and his 17 year old girlfriend are being chased around town by the cops for unlicensed drug manufacture, posession of an unlicensed firearm and suspicion of making crystal meth. Hes also wanted for questioning in the death of an american ex-patriot. hes not answering routine police questions and hes rambling on about secret plots to decapitate dead animals and collect his friends. John McAfee is a textbook example of drug-induced psychopathy.

McCafee claims his girlfriend is 20 years old. Did you really see someone else claim she was younger? Or are you making it up yourself? Looking at her picture, I'd say she even looks older than 20 years old.

Also, the decapitation of his buried dead dogs can easily be explained. The cops are doing ballistics analysis on the bullets. Also, it's customary to only take the head of a dog when testing for rabbies. And the analysis of the dogs is important for the cops, because their theory is that his neighbor poisoned his dogs, not that his dogs had rabbies (thereby going to a potential motive for wanting to kill the neighbor).

Also, no one seems to be disputing the fact that cops have rounded up his entourage and kept some of them in jail. Nor does he describe it as some kind of "secret plot". Those are your words, not his. Here are his words exactly:

After the murder of Mr. Faul, the police began a systematic roundup of my friends and associates. So far, those arrested include:

Eddie Ancona – my best friend in Belize. Eddie is a consistent attendant at the local church. He does not drink. He does not smoke. He has never used drugs. He has a loyal wife and a young son. His only crime is being my best friend. He is still in jail and is being charged with trumped-up charges.

Cassian Chavarria – my caretaker of two and a half years. Cassian is one of the most honest men I have had the pleasure to know. He is reliable and competent. I would trust him with my life. He, like Eddie, has been jailed for a week.

A cab driver named Cesar. I regret not knowing his last name. His only crime was driving me into town the day of the murder. I am told he has since been released.

William Mulligan – my British bodyguard. He was arrested and has been sent to the Government penitentiary in Hattieville.

Williams wife, Stefanie Mulligan – she was arrested with her husband. She had just arrived for the weekend. He had not seen her for months. I am told that, since she was breastfeeding, she was temporarily released.

My housekeeper Priscilla – I regret again not knowing her last name. She is one of the most decent people I have known. I am told she has been released but charges may be filed.

The list will grow. I am asking all people of conscience to read this blog, especially the links in the “Background” section, and see the ugly truth unfolding here. Speak out. Write your congressmen. Write the Prime Minister. Do what you can. These people are suffering and will continue to do so irrespective of my actions. They will become yet another bleak statistic in the web of injustice clutching the heart of this country.

John McAfee is the bass man!
