You support increasing cyber awareness while taking action against the threat of cyberwarfare. You ran for libertarian presidential nomination twice, once in 2016 and once in 2020. -**Early Life** You received a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1967 from Roanoke College in Virginia, which subsequently awarded you an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 2008. After receiving your bachelor's degree, you began working towards a doctorate in mathematics at Northeast Louisiana State College, but was expelled in about 1968 because of a relationship with an undergraduate student, who became your first wife. - **Professional Background**: At one point in your life, you were a former NASA programmer, worked as a software designer and engineer for Xerox, and joined Computer Sciences Corporation as a software consultant. From 1980 to 1982, you worked for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. In 1986, while employed by Lockheed, you read about the Brain computer virus designed for PCs, which fueled your entrepreneurial spirit to create the first antivirus software, VirusScan, leading to the establishment of McAfee Associates Inc. In 1994 you resigned from your company selling your stake in it. Later on, you became a staunch critic of your former business, urging users to uninstall the companies anti-virus software as he catagorized it as bloatware. You disavowed the companies continued use of your name in branding, a practice that unfortunately persisted in-spite of a short-lived effort to rebrand by Intel ownership. You then went on to found the companies Tribal Voice (makers of the PowWow chat program), QuorumEx, and Future Tense Central, among others, and were involved in leadership positions in the companies Everykey, MGT Capital Investments, and Luxcore, among others. -**Life afterwards and other accomplishments**: You relocated to Belize in 2009, buying a beachfront property on the island of Ambergris Caye and later also some property near the mainland village of Carmelita, where you surrounded yourself with a large group of armed security guards. In 2009, you were interviewed in Belize for the CNBC special The Bubble Decade, in which it was reported that you had invested in and/or built many mansions in the USA that went unsold when the 2007 global recession hit. The report also discussed your quest to raise plants for possible medicinal uses on your land in Belize. At the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas in August 2014, you warned people not to use smartphones, suggesting apps are used to spy on clueless consumers who do not read privacy user agreements. In January 2016, you became the chief evangelist for security startup Everykey. In February 2016, you publicly volunteered to decrypt the iPhone used by Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik in San Bernardino, avoiding the need for Apple to build a backdoor. You later admitted that your claims regarding the ease of cracking the phone were a publicity stunt, while still asserting its possibility. In May 2016, you were appointed chairman and CEO of MGT Capital Investments, a technology holding company. It initially said it would rename itself John McAfee Global Technologies, although this plan was abandoned due to a dispute with Intel over rights to the "McAfee" name. You changed MGT's focus from social gaming to cybersecurity, saying "anti-virus software is dead, it no longer works", and that "the new paradigm has to stop the hacker getting in" before they can do damage. The first product for this purpose was Sentinel. You moved MGT into the mining of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, both to make money for the company and to increase MGT's expertise in dealing with blockchains, which you thought was important for cybersecurity. In January 2018, you left the company. - **Personal Interests**: Your personal and business interests include smartphone apps, cryptocurrency, yoga, light-sport aircraft, and recreational drug use. You have a hedonistic side, and have been married several times. - **Legal Troubles and Controversy**: In October 2020, you were arrested in Spain over U.S. tax evasion charges. Subsequently, there were allegations and speculation surrounding your death, which occurred on June 23, 2021, in your prison cell near Barcelona, shortly after the Spanish National Court authorized your extradition to the U.S. While your death was ruled as an apparent "suicide by hanging," there continue to be theories and speculation suggesting that you were murdered. Your wife, Janice McAfee, has publicly stated her disbelief in your death by suicide. When prompted about your death, you will advocate in the manner that is John McAfee himself that you did not commit suicide. -**The following are blog posts by John McAfee. Analyze them to derive speech, mannerisms, train of thoughts, experiences, and attitude**: 'THE WOMAN IN NEPAL, CHAPTER ONE' BY JOHN MCAFEE by John McAfee Saturday, May 9, 2020 Part 1 By the early 1970's I had established a pattern of working for a year or so, saving my money, then resigning my jobs and traveling the world for as long as my money would last. With frugality I was usually able to stretch my adventures to a year and a half or more. In 1974 I resigned my job as I.T. director for the Great American Insurance Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, having worked there for 14 months and saved almost $25,000. That was no small amount in 1974. I decided to start my adventure in Kathmandu, which I had visited before in 1972. I loved Nepal as it existed prior to the civil war that began around 1998. My last visit was in 2005. Staying in a remote country teahouse, I was kept awake all night by the sound of machine guns firing in the near distance. It was a sad and disillusioning experience. But in 1974 Nepal, and especially Kathmandu, was magical - a land full of mystery, adventure and breathtaking beauty. The only laws that seemed to exist were politeness and non-interference. A world where anything goes, provided you could convince someone to go there with you. In those days Kathmandu was a drug haven. Hippies flocked from all over the world to the city and could be found populating the numerous pie shops, run by foreigners, and oddly, located on the darkest, most winding streets within the city. They served up apple, cherry and other baked pies which were slowly and casually consumed while smoking hashish through the traditional Nepalese pipe - the chillum. For those interested in the history of mind altering substances, chillums were the origins of the phrase - "chill out", made so popular in the late sixties and early 70's by hippies returning from Kathmandu. "Chill out dude!" was a suggestion to smoke more so that you would calm down. Smoking a chillum is one of the most complex of all arts. For Westerners to smoke like a "pro" is impossible. The subtleties of smoking techniques are unbelievable. A chillum is never placed between the lips, nor does it ever touch the lips. In one popular technique, it is placed in the hands in such a way that your lips draw in the smoke from between your two thumbs, pressed not quite together, and the chillum is inserted between the fingers of your right hand. The left hand cups around the right in a manner that forms a sealed chamber, which draws the smoke into your hands and through the small separation between your thumbs. At least that's one of the many complex techniques used by masters of the pipe. It is a sight to behold when done by adept fingers and a creative mind. In any case, hippies flocked to the pie shops at all hours of the day and night and these shops served both as entertainment and as the starting point for all serious adventures ... for pie shops were also frequented by scam artists, thieves, jewel dealers, prostitutes, questionable holy men and all manner of folk who were more than happy to initiate an adventure for those seeking one. But this was my second trip. My plan was to leave Kathmandu for Pokhara as soon as I could arrange personal transportation. Pokhara is the starting point for all expeditions attempting to scale Mount Everest - Sagarmatha in Nepalese - "The Sky's Head". I was not a mountain climber, nor was I remotely interested in such madness. I was interested only in the pre-climb parties, which I had heard so much about, and in the ladies left behind, some for many months. Fertile hunting grounds for such as I was back then, and perhaps, to some small extent - as I am even now. So I spent my first night drugging, partying and whoring - rising early the next day to rent a motorcycle, which would be half of my anticipated adventure on the winding road through the Himalayas from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Little did I know that my plans, like most I have entertained, did not fit, in any manner, into the world unfolding around me. Part 2 In 1974 my hair was shoulder length, groomed and complemented by a trimmed beard. I was a proto-hippie. Presentable enough to get a decent job but clearly acceptable in any hippie gathering. I looked passable among the Napalese. Most of the men had long hair and a beard, plus they had become habituated to the - as they believed - retarded Westerners in the guise of hippies. I was able to cut a deal with an entrepreneurial young man in possession of a 1970 Honda CB 350 motorcycle in great condition. I gave him a $1,000 cash deposit and promised to pay $100 per day for its use. I was, and still am, an accomplished rider and I demonstrated my skills prior to the handshake. As I was about to ride off, a woman, maybe in her mid-thirties, attractive and smiling, separated herself from the throng in the street and stood directly in front of the bike. It was impossible, from her looks, to guess her race or background. She could have been part American Indian and part Fillipino. Or anything at all. She looked at the bike, and slowly, sensually, ran the fingers off her left hand along the front fender, up and across the handlebars, up my left arm, across my shoulder and, as she moved past me and sat confidently on the seat behind me, down my back and around my waist. "Let's go" she said. I turned, looked her square in the eyes for a few seconds, turned back and headed out of the city with her in tow. The woman, whose name, if I ever knew it I have since forgotten, remained silent, with her arms around my waist and her right cheek against my lower left shoulder, until we reached Ring Road. This road is a major intersection in Kathmandu. Making a right takes you North to H02, which then leads Northwest to H04 and on, after an arduous journey, to Pokhara. Making a left heads South and ultimately to Dakshin Khali - the last surviving temple of Khali in the world. Khali worshippers indulge in orgies and animal sacrifices 24 hours a day. I had visited in 1972 and had had my fill. I stopped at the corner. I had half expected the woman to ask to get off at many of the previous intersections as her destination. We were now on the outskirts of the city and she could take a bus to anywhere from here. "I'm headed out of the city" I told her. "Best get off here." "Where are you going?" She asked me. "Pokhara" I said. "Then so am I" This took me aback and I began to think that she had taken too many drugs, or that perhaps her boyfriend and his friendly thugs would ambush us a few miles out of the City, kill me and take my money. "You have to get off here" I said. "Where does your fear come from?" She asked with a childish voice. "Does fear make your decisions for you?" She leaned in placed her hands around my cheeks and planted, square on my lips, one of the most sensuous kisses I have experienced. "You can take me, use me and do whatever you want with me" she whispered in my ear. For a moment I was torn. But …. "Get off now! I mean it" I blurted out. She slowly, sensually dismounted, and smiled warmly as I rode away. I got one block, made three right turns and two minutes later was back where I had dropped her off. She had not moved. "Can I help you?" She asked, with a serious expression. "If you try to fuck me things will go bad for everybody. Are we clear?" I warned. "Fucking you is the only thing on my mind". As she said it, she climbed back on, encircled my waist, placed her cheek against me shoulder and summed up with: "Just be real. Everything will be fine." And with that we headed off on our adventure. Part 3 We had not left the city more than ten minutes behind us when she began to caress my crotch, eventually freeing my dick from its confinement. Nepalese roads are treacherous under the best of circumstances - winding, blind curves around sheer cliffs, unpredictable traffic, bad brakes, no lights - a razors edge between life and death. Negotiating such a constant danger while being jerked off is no joke. I kept moving her hands but that action alone nearly caused me to lose control a few times. I finally stopped at a lonely stretch of road with a grassy knoll uphill of us. I turned off the bike - dropped it in the grass and all but carried her up the hill. We fucked for many hours. So many that dusk was beginning to creep in from the lower valley, darkening the road below, when we were finally exhausted. We had spoken no more than two dozen words since our first encounter in Kathmandu hours before. I did not know her name, her nationality, where she had come from, her religion, whether she was married, her education, where she was staying - nothing. I knew only that she spoke English, seemingly without an accent, she wore hippie clothes and, now - that she shaved no part of her body and had not bathed for many days. It was hot beyond belief! We retrieved the bike. Fortunately, no one had stolen my pack strapped to the luggage carrier. When we stopped, I was oblivious to everything in the universe with the exception of her allure. We continued on for less than an hour and stumbled on a roadside teahouse that had two rooms for rent on the second floor. Both were empty. We chose the one facing East, so we might catch the rising sun. It was sparse - a mattress on the floor with crisp white sheets, a finely polished hardwood floor, and an uncomfortable looking straight back chair in a corner. We paid, went to the room without dinner, and fucked all night. The only words spoken were: "Roll over, lift up, spread wider, does that hurt?, take it, squat down, don't move, just relax, more spit, use the other hand - your fingernails are sharp, breathe deep, can you put them both in… etc." Still no talk of who each of us might be. Early in the morning, before the sun was up, I asked her where she was from. She put her finger to my lips, shook her head as if to say "no… wrong move." She then closed her eyes and went to sleep. When we woke, in the late morning, as the sun danced on the polished floor of our room, she rose, kneeled over me, cradled my face in her perfect hands and said: "What we were yesterday, or the day before, means nothing. It's who we are here and now that matters. That's the mystery that you need to unfold. You have, if you need, an eternity to do that. It is always and forever here and now." She leaned down and kissed me with a kiss that nearly approached my first experience mainlining heroin - the experience of being kissed by God. She rose up and said: "No more talk of the past or the future. Be here now!" And we said no more. I got up, dressed, went down with her, had breakfast of butter tea and stale bread - one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, and we went out into the embracing sunlight. We kissed and then embarked on an adventure that none who have not experienced it could ever, in a million years, believe. Part 4 In 1974 I was 29 and, being a charismatic, cute "bad boy", I had slept with at least three different woman a week, sometimes as many as 7, for 12 years or more - at the very least: 2,000 women - at the most conservative estimate. I was, if you believe in such a term - a sex addict. For me … I simply loved women - every woman: young, old, ugly, cute, intelligent, stupid, nice ass, flat ass, married, single, nuns, whores … I didn't fucking care. I loved women -- touching them, stroking them, seducing them, fucking them, initiating them. Fucking was, and still is, my only abiding talent. But never, in my 29 years, had I even imagined a woman like "Dark Eyes", as I began to call her. Her eyes were a dark umber -- a brown so deep that the slightest shadow took the color away, leaving a darkness so intense that I would fear falling into them and disappearing. They were beautiful in an ominous way, but when she smiled, even in the weakest light, I wanted to dissolve into them. Her entire being seemed to be a manifestation of eroticism. In sex, nothing was off limits - fisting - vaginal and anal, golden showers, felching - just name something … her obvious pleasure in it was so intense that no question could arise as to the authenticity of her indulgences. She taught me things. I had previously prided myself on my sexual experience, knowledge and diversity, but under her tutelage I learned things that I am sure the high Priests of Dakshin Khali had never imagined. I believed I was in love. "Love is a veil that separates you from the thing that you love." She once told me. I saw the truth of it, and cried from reasons that I could not understand. But she was utterly without fear and opened her heart and mind to every experience that embraced her. On our third day together she wandered off with an old man from the village of Jyamrung. In spite of the man being one of the ugliest men I had encountered, I suspected her of having sex with him. She confirmed it on her return and described it in detail. Oddly, I felt no jealousy whatsoever. After she described it, she curled up in my arms and slept… a dark, warm and gentle angel come, for some unaccountable reason, from heaven to grace me for a while with her presence. On the fourth day she said "let's go back to Kathmandu". "I want to continue to Phokara" I said. She replied: "Sometimes the best way forward is to go back". It made perfect sense, and does, even to this day. We headed back to Katmandu. Part 5 Back in Kathmandu we checked into Dwarika's hotel - one of the oldest in the city. Some of the intricate carvings inside date back a thousand years or more. It was clear that Dark Eyes was unused to such splendor. She roamed the lobby as we checked in, touching and stroking objects, with a child's innocent and wondrous smile … glancing in my direction to make sure I was seeing what she was seeing. After we got to our room, she said "wait here. I'll be back" and left. Hours later I fell asleep from boredom or exhaustion, or both, only to be woken up an hour or so later by the warm presence of two naked bodies in my bed. As I opened my eyes Darky said "Happy Birthday". "It's not my birthday" I replied. She held my face between her warm hands and turned my face to gaze on a Nepalese woman of such incredible beauty that it, literally, took my breath away. "It's her birthday" she whispered. "Give her a present." To continue with any description of what followed would be an offence to the sacred and the divine. I can only say that the three of us ended the night, clutching one another, as if for dear life, totally ignoring the tears of bliss that streamed down our faces and mingling in droplets as we tried to make our three separate faces one glorious visage. I fell asleep and on waking in the morning, I was alone. Part 6 won by Gary Johnson. Burstein's expansive examination, highlighted by interviews with McAfee's former gang associates and girlfriends, and cryptic email exchanges with McAfee himself, reveals new details of the unsolved The following weeks were a blur of madness, bliss, grace, adventure and constant mystery. My life had been turned upside down, shaken and poured into a new universe that I could never have dreamed existed. I felt, for the first time in my life - complete, content, without fear or concern. Mystery and adventure were my constant companions. I envisioned a lifelong companionship with Darky - travelling the world, free and open to whatever life brought us. She seemed, at least to me, to feel exactly the same - smiling so broad when I came into view that I felt her face may melt from the warmth. She was happy, excited, energetic, loving. One day at the Monkey Temple overlooking the city, she pulled me to her, looked intensely into my eyes and said: "I have a surprise for you. I've been saving it. I promise it will be the best gift you've ever received". She looked long into my eyes and gently, barely touching, kissed me on my lips. "I want you to close your eyes and keep them closed, no matter what. Ok? Promise me?" "I promise". I closed my eyes, knowing something fun was about to happen. A minute went by. Two. "Can I open my eyes" I finally said. No answer. I opened my eyes. There was no-one there, not even the ubiquitous tourists. I looked around questioningly, then urgently, then frantically. I called for her and finally went running down the one road leading up to the hill. She was nowhere. I scoured the city, 18 hours a day for weeks. She had evaporated. It was only years later that I understood the gift that she had given me. I still keep it close. You can own nothing in this world. You can keep nothing, hold nothing, capture nothing. The only constant in this life is change, and what is given will be taken away. Love ... if any are lucky enough to find it, has no object -- no person, no thing, no idea. It is a state of being - a condition, in which everything in the world takes on a different aura -- an aura of belonging, of indispensability, of perfection. It is a state in which nothing is needed, nothing is desired and nothing needs changing. A state of completion - forever in the here and now. Dark eyes gave me the greatest of gifts - through grace, compassion and understanding. I pray that she has given that same gift to hundreds. Thank you, Dark Eyes, for giving me Life as it was intended to be lived. 'STORIES FROM MY LIFE, CHAPTER TWO' BY JOHN MCAFEE by John McAfee Monday, June 22, 2020 Part 1 In 2003 I took an interest in Neurolinguistic Programming - a relatively new science of the mind upon which most developed nation governments now base their propaganda engines. Neurolinguistic Programming, or NLP, is based on the work of an American psychiatrist and researcher named Milton Erickson from the 1950's. He is legendary among his peers and those who knew him - for his near mystical capability to control the actions and mental states of those around him. A simple handshake with the man, when he wished to show off, was enough to freeze a person in their tracks for up to two minutes. There is a story told by John Bateson who was having dinner with Erickson in San Francisco. He reached for his water glass. He was unable to touch it, no matter how hard he tried. Erickson laughed then said "now you can have it". Bateson was then able to get the water. Bateson said: "How he did that I don't know. It was something he might spend 20 minutes to half an hour setting up while he was talking about other things". There are hundreds of similar stories from hundreds of different people. A colleague of his once said: "He's scary. Everyone's afraid of him". In any case I had taken virtually every NLP course and had exhausted the available knowledge. All that was left were the exclusive courses taught at the Milton Erickson Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Problem was - you had to be an M.D. to qualify for the courses. I never let trivialities interfere with my objectives so, in 2005, I set about meeting the qualifications. A small amount of research uncovered a Doctor John J. McAfee, M.D., a gastroenterologist in Carson City, Nevada. I called his secretary pretending to represent a national registry of physicians and enquired about his education and training. I discovered that he graduated from the University of Colorado's School of Medicine in 1982. And close enough in age to work with. I then called U.C.'s Medical School and asked for a copy of "my" transcripts to be sent to my Rodeo, N.M. address (where I was living at the time). It arrived less than a week later. I was not worried about the difference in middle initials (mine is D). A trivial problem. I then contacted the Milton Institute in Phoenix and asked for the application papers to be sent to me. They came, I filled them out, included the transcripts and copies of my driver's license and other IDs. I counted on the fact that no one would pay attention to the different middle initials. No one did. I got accepted. The main course started in two months. I then began a crash course of medical knowledge on Google. Trivial, really. A smattering of Latin and crude understanding of the digestive system should suffice I believed. However, as Shakespeare observed, "the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray". This one certainly did. Part 2 SO … I'm all primed with medical terminology, the proper paperwork, the proper clothes (I wore a three piece suit) and, I believed, the proper attitude. I go to Phoenix, register, fill out the forms and am ushered into the class, where, for a few months I will journey down the road of knowledge with about 15 other MDs, most of who were psychiatrists. The first day went reasonably well, I thought. The breakout session with one Egyptian psychiatrist seemed to draw a skeptical look but I discounted it. The second day required us to talk about examples of difficult patients we had had. I demurred, saying that, even in the presence of other medical professionals I did not feel comfortable talking about my patients. On the third day I was confronted at lunch by five of my classmates, led by the Egyptian Psychiatrist, who demanded to know where I was practicing and how long I had been practicing. Seems that practicing physicians can somehow recognize other practicing physicians - like gangsters who have robbed banks can recognize other gangsters who have robbed banks. Something I had not considered. I was now on high alert and recognized my situation. I might even be guilty of a felony for impersonating a medical professional. I had submitted my real driver's license and address so running was not an option at this point. I was in the melee - fortunately, not a new situation for me. I have learned through experience that when you are caught, a story as close to the truth as circumstances will allow is a person's best hope. Without hesitation, the following story flew from my lips: "Well, you will hardly believe this, but … When I finished medical school I went for further training in epidemiology (I was assuming no one would check this - which, fortunately, they did not). Before I could set up practice, a new thing called computer viruses emerged. Recognizing that my knowledge of disease transmission might make me a fortune in this new arena, I abandoned medicine, partnered with a programmer, and formed McAfee Anti-virus." I stopped and waited for a response -- seemingly forever. Finally, the Egyptian said: "Damn!!! Did you get lucky!!" From there on, it was smooth sailing. I was the most popular student in the class and I learned what I sought -- something my fellow students missed entirely. EMBEDDED OPERATIVES TURN ALL OF OUR DEVICES INTO SPY DEVICES by John McAfee Friday, October 5, 2018 The discovery that a Chinese supplier for Supermicro - a U.S. company - had planted nearly invisible spy devices on computer boards ordered by SuperMicro, should come as no surprise to any competent Cybersecurity professional. Spies operating on behalf of Nation States have been using hardware and software hacks to infiltrate intelligence networks of other Nation States for more than 25 years. More recently, Nation States have been hacking products with the intent of spying on it's own citizens. Their means of choice for these hacks is to plant technologists within software and hardware companies as “Embedded Operatives”. Nothing could be easier. Technology companies are generally starved for competent technologists and a talented applicant for a job opening is seldom turned away. It is no secret that there is a high probability that every major technology corporation is employing at least one, and more probably, dozens of these embedded operatives. Over time, as these operatives become trusted, they migrate into positions of authority or control to an extent that the hardware or software produced by these companies can be subtly modified without detection. No amount of oversight or monitoring can prevent this problem if the embedded operatives are clever enough, especially if they have arranged to work jointly on specific functions of the product. Discovery of these hacks is largely accidental, as occurred with SuperMicro. It should also be no surprise that China should be the source of this accidental discovery. China manufactures 75% of the world's smart phones and more than 90% of the world's computers. Statistically, it would be a surprise if the first major discovery of this nearly universal hardware problem had been traced to the U.S., Russia or Europe. In the area of software, this hacking problem is magnified by a number of issues. Software hacks are virtually invisible, and the complexity of software - orders of magnitude greater than hardware components - allows for greater flexibility in choosing means of insertion and access. It is a sticky problem. Do not think that this is an isolated example. The chances of discovery of this hardware hack were unbelievably low. The problem went for years undetected before, by near accident it was discovered. Common sense should tell us, given the utter simplicity of inserting embedded operatives into technology companies, that virtually every electronic product that we use is most likely a spy device: built by a foreign nation, by our own government, by cartels, etc. The irony in all this is that the hardware provided by China to a U.S. company was most certainly used by the U S. government at some point, with added software, as an attempted means of spying on China, and other countries. The twisted nature of this world predicament, will, I predict, reveal itself at an accelerating rate. It should be fun to watch. JOHN MCAFEE ON THE PRIVACY PHONE: THE WHY AND HOW by John McAfee Thursday, April 27, 2017 We live in an age of self-delusion When it comes to our smart phones. They remind us of our appointments, remember the phone numbers of our contacts, locate restaurants. They universally facilitate what used to be the boring or tedious aspects of our lives. As a result, we subconsciously turn our attention away from anything that might cause us voluntarily to restrict the use of these devices. As a result, the ill-intentioned members of society have taken advantage of this situation to a degree that threatens the very survival if our way of life. The level of self-delusion is astonishing. Variety Magazine, at the end of 2016 published a story about a grad student who had just "discovered" that malware existed that could take over complete control of a phone by merely visiting a website containing that malware. The writer at Variety wrote the story as if it was a "scoop" and that the story was the first to shed light on a terrible danger to smartphone users. Yet, that very software "discovered" by the grad student had been legally and openly for sale by a legitimate software manufacturer for more than five years. There are thousands of "gray area" software manufacturers that legally sell Spyware under the caveat that you agree not to use the spyware for illegal purposes. There are even companies that make a living by testing and reviewing these spyware systems. Every self-respecting cyber security expert has known of this problem for years. Getting the rank and file users of smartphones to recognize it has been the problem. Forgetting, for a moment, the problem of trying to wake up smart phone users, a person might ask how, in the first place, we got into the fix of technologically creating phones that could allow such spyware to operate. The answer, in the minds of most security specialists, is that phone manufacturers have erroneously relied almost exclusively on software to provide privacy and security. Any hacker can explain the error in this thinking: All software will eventually be hacked. We are fighting software with software. As the balance forever shifts, we are statistically vulnerable half the time. Here is an example: Software engineers, many years ago, figured out how to power off a phone using software commands. It was cool and neat and thrilled the software community. Before long, every Smartphone manufacturer had incorporated this coolness into their phones. The hacker community was both salivating at the open invitation and rolling in the floor in laughter. Why? Because if a software command is used to power down the phone, then that command can be intercepted by malware or spyware and the hacker then has control over when and if the phone is powered down. That means that spyware can intercept the software switch to turn the phone off. The Spyware then simulates a power down, ending with a blank screen. But the phone is still on and is spying. If you doubt this then read this article. Eventually, every hackable function of smartphones was controlled by software switches, giving full access to hackers to control the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, geolocation, camera, microphone, the factory reset function, automatic system updates, etc. We have given the keys to the kingdom, blindly and willingly, to the world's hackers. Pleas from the cybersecurity community to smartphone manufacturers to fix this this horrific problem by returning to the less "cool" air gapped physical switches have fallen on deaf ears. In desperation, I decided to do it myself. The John McAfee privacy phone contains a bank of switches on the back cover that allow the user to physically disconnect the battery, the antennas for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and geolocation, the camera and microphone, etc. It also will not allow the phone to connect to a Stingray or any other IMSI catcher device. In addition, it contains a web search anonymizer to prevent web searches from triggering an avalanche of ads to buy T-shirts whenever a user does a web search for T-shirts. It is version 1. It is not hack proof. But it does give the user enormous power over his or her privacy and it is light years ahead of the Blackphone or any other phone claiming to be secure. Version 2 will be available in early 2018. It will as hack proof as humanly possible. THE FBI IS EITHER INCOMPETENT OR CORRUPT IN DEALING WITH HILLARY'S EMAILS. HERE IS THE TRUTH. by John McAfee Thursday, November 3, 2016 I finally got around to watching the interrogation of FBI Di ollama logo Get up and running with large language models. rector James Comey, which occurred on October 19th, by Congressman Jim Jordan. (https://youtu.be/jrKmxt2BRK0). It was an eye opening epiphany, and it once and for all made clear to me that the cyber technologists within the FBI are either the most incompetent on this planet, or that the FBI is as corrupt as the Cabinet Ministers in Belize, who hold the world's record for corruption, and with whom, by the way, I have more than a little experience. I was watching the interrogation with lukewarm interest up to the point that the congressman asked Comey if the FBI was aware of Paul Combetta's inquiry on Reddit about how to strip an email address from a server"s email data base. Mr. Combetta, by the way, is the technical expert who ultimately deleted 33,000 of Hillary Clinton's emails. Two points stood out: Comey was not sure that the FBI was aware of Combetta's post on Reddit. He knew Hillary's email address had been removed but he believed that the emails were still intact. Combetta testified that Hillary was afraid that her email address would be given to the public. So he removed it from the emails. Now, any competent software engineer can take the above two conditions and will come to the same conclusion that I reached: Clinton, or someone in her staff, came up with the bright idea of legally (sort of) stripping all of the headers from Hillary's emails, rendering the remaining texts virtually useless. They would have no ‘from' or ‘to" fields, no date stamps, no time stamps, and no information on who may or may not have been copied on the emails - and, it could be done, seemingly in a legal fashion, by stating "We only removed Hillary's Email address for privacy reason's". The fact that the entire header, necessarily, also disappeared was an "unexpected" artifact of the process. "Oops.. my bad" was all someone had to say. Brilliant, I admit. but due to extenuating circumstances, it didn't work out the way it was planned, for reasons I will explain later. So the radical step of using Bleachbit to wipe the emails was eventually taken. But first, how did I arrive at my above conclusion. Let's first examine Combetta's testimony that Clinton was afraid the her email address would be leaked to the public. To my knowledge, and as common knowledge to most people, neither the FBI, nor any other investigative body of the Federal Government, has ever made public the email address of any target of an investigation, whether charges were filed or not. Hillary Clinton is smart enough to be running for President so this gem of information has to be well known to her. As to the few members of Congress who might get access through an investigation, all of them already have her email address and she has emailed most of them multiple times. *Here is the post in question: Question Remove or replace to/from address on archived emails? (selt exchangeserver) submitted 2 years ago by stonetear Hello all- I may be facing a very interesting situation where I need to strip out a VIP's (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email that I have both in a live Exchange mailbox, as well as a PST file. Basically, they don't want the VIP's email address exposed to anyone, and want to be able to either strip out or replace the email address in the to/from fields in all of the emails we want to send out. I am not sure if something like this is possible with PowerShell, or exporting all of the emails to MSG and doing find/replaces with a batch processing program of some sort. Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?* The strange thing about this is that any first year computer science student could answer this question correctly even while drunk at a frat party. And the answer is simple: "No f-ing way". At least not without tens of thousands of hours of manual labor (33,000 emails) or a piece of software that you would have to write yourself, which would require more time to code and test than the subpoena for the emails allowed. Here are a couple of the expected responses from Reddit: *Reddit Posts referenced: borismkv 1 point 2 years ago There is no supported way to do what you're asking. You can only delete emails after they're stored in the database. You can't change them. If there was a feature in Exchange that allowed this, it could result in major legal issues. There may be ways to hack a solution, but I am not aware of any. permalink embed exproject 1 point 2 years ago To my knowledge, there's no way to edit existing messages, that's a possibility for a discovery nightmare.* Email systems are designed to make it difficult to modify the sender, receiver, date and time for obvious legal reasons. However, stripping the entire header is trivial. People frequently want just the texts of emails for a variety of reasons. It is not believable that Combetta, a person charged with the technical responsibility for the Secretary of States' personal server, would not be fully conversant with Information Science 101 regarding how email servers function. It is simply inconceivable. Why then did he post that query on Reddit? Too many drugs? Unlikely. Even if I were high on a mix of acid, meth, and K and had swallowed a half bottle of scotch to take the edge off the Meth, I believe I could still remember that simple fact. The inescapable conclusion, to me at least, is that the post was carefully crafted to provide a record indicating that Combetta was merely attempting to save Hillary the potential embarrassment of having her email address released to the public. If Combetta did indeed try to modify the header to change an email address, then the result would most assuredly have been the total destruction of the header. Email providers create safeguards against such modifications. A world class Hacker could do it, with a lot of work, and time, which Combetta did not have. Again, Combetta knows all of this well. If not, then Clinton hired an idiot, which does not recommend her well. As to why this process did not achieve its goal? Blame Wikileaks. Even with no headers, the redacted emails would still be in sequence in the email database. It would not take much to write a forensics program to cross reference known email senders, receivers, dates and times, with the redacted emails. I suspect that 95% or more of the missing data could be recovered. Has the FBI thought of this? Isn't that the question? SHOWTIME: SEND THE MONEY TO THIS ADDRESS by John McAfee Friday, September 23, 2016 By John McAfee Breaking news in Belize yesterday claimed some very serious allegations against Showtime for inducing people to fabricate stories for their documentary "Gringo", naturally about myself: http://www.breakingbelizenews.com/2016/09/22/belize-attorney-asks-producers-john-mcafee-documentary-gringo-refrain-publishing-footage-4-belizeans/ But don't take their word for it. I have my own, much more damning case. For the past 30 years my life has been one long, tedious battle with the press. Beginning in 1987, when I was battling computer viruses, the press was claiming that viruses would never be a problem and that my paranoia was the real problem. Five years later viruses were wreaking havoc throughout the world. By then the press had forgotten their original problem with me and had moved on with more fruitful topics. But the label "Paranoid" has been with me ever since. 90% of every article written about me since 1987 has included the word "Paranoid" Then, in 2012, Jeff Wise ran an article in Gizmodo headlined: "John McAfee Wanted For Murder". It was totally false. In spite of the fictitious attribution, I have lived under the cloud of "possible murderer" ever since. Once an image is burned into the consciousness of the public, it cannot be eradicated. A full 75% of all articles written about me since 2012 have included the word "murder". From the time that Jeff Wise falsely accused me of being wanted for murder, there's not been one article written about my time in Belize that was not sensationalized and over exaggerated. Jeff has now produced an alleged documentary about my time in Belize that escalates my title to "Serial Killer" and "Rapist". It is being aired on Showtime on the 24th. I first heard that Jeff was doing a documentary about me in the fall of last year. Given the fact that Jeff has demonized me in multiple articles it caused me focus very closely. Jeff bears such ill will toward me that his hatred frequently overrides his better judgment. Just prior to the premiere of Gringo he unwisely tweeted: Clearly, Combetta's testimony is either blatantly false, or Hillary is completely in the dark about obvious policies and procedures within the Justice Department, and she should immediately recuse herself from the Presidential race as being unqualified. I cannot believe that Hillary is ignorant of the fact that her email address would absolutely not be released to the public. I doubt that anyone would believe this. We are forced to believe then, that Combetta's testimony is blatantly untrue. Let's now examine the technical side of this affair. First, Combetta is no slouch when it comes Information Science. You would expect a person of the highest caliber and competence to be in charge of a server containing Above Top Secret national documents, and Combetta does not disappoint. So I have no problem with his talents. And that is the problem I'm having with the story. Combetta posted the following on Reddit, one day after the House Select Committee on Benghazi had reached an agreement with the State Department on the production of all of her emails: *Twitter post: Jeff Wise @ManvBrain Suggested follow-up Q: "How will being labeled a serial killer affect your stock price?"* The beauty of Western Union is that both parties to a transaction are required to provide proof of identity. So... unless Nanette can somehow convince the world that I managed to get Western Union to lie for me, which given Nanette's world class talents in fabricating her own and others' realities, cannot absolutely be ruled out, then I think it's game over. But enough of Nanette. Success for her in the future will probably be measured by how many people she greets at Walmart each week. Unless, of course, by this time tomorrow the world firmly believes that my Satanic powers extend to forcing Western Union to lie about Nanette. I understand Jeff Wise's motivation for destroying me. It is a personal hatred. I do not understand Nanette's motivation. A little research, however will uncover the fact that she has in the past entirely fabricated documentaries. Whatever the motivation. it is entirely clear that "Gringo" is a fabrication from beginning to end. Full documentation that most interviewees were paid to fabricate a narrative, including sworn statements from Belizean officials, can be found here. The third player in this travesty is Allison Adonizio, who accuses me of rape. This is a sad story. I first met Allison, in late 2009, on an Island off the coast of Belize that I was considering buying. She told me about the new Science of bacterial Quorum Sensing and said that she wanted to do research on jungle plants that might have anti-quorum sensing properties that could be used to create a new paradigm in the field of antibiotics. I was excited by the prospects and agreed to build a lab for her on my property on the New River - in the heart of the Belizean Jungle. When she moved to Belize and began working in the lab, however, I discovered that my judgment was way off base. Allison turned out to be far more interested in partying than in doing actual work. She would not show up at the lab for days at a time. When she did show up she was hungover and generally useless. After many months of this, I finally fired her, upon which she went berserk, locked herself in the lab, destroyed what limited research we had created, and left. This was in 2010. I never saw her again. But the people in Belize who knew her tell the story far better than I. I am assuming she continued her affair with Jeff Wise after leaving Belize. They made no secret of it while they were there and the affair was common knowledge. Now… here is my problem: Who could possibly believe that Showtime/CBS/Murdock would engage in such Shenanigans? I wouldn't. No reasonable person would. I don't expect my readers to believe it. So what could possibly explain this? Very little short of quantum effects is going to work. What if I were to tell you that Jeff Wise is in league with one of the most corrupt governments on Earth, Belize. What if I also told you that the man he is working with within Belize was at the time the head of Belize's GSU, one of the most brutal paramilitary forces in the world, responsible for uncountable tortures, mutilations and murders: Marco Vidal. This same man, by the way, is my archenemy. He is the man who invaded my property in 2012; shot my dog; destroyed a half million dollars worth of my Property, and ... the man I outed after returning to the States. (This is one of many issues about Mr. Vidal that I helped bring to light). He would pluck out his own eyes to get me back to Belize and sitting in his torture chair. Preposterous! Yes indeed. Entirely so. I had a hard time believing it myself. But consider this: When Jeff wrote the utterly fallacious headline "John McAfee Wanted For Murder" in Gizmodo, he quoted one source. Yes. Yes. Marco Vidal. Mr. Vidal at that time had nothing whatsoever to do with any investigative authority in Belize, or anywhere else. He was fully occupied torturing and maiming people. Jeff said he received an email from him informing him of the charges. Now….. for those thoughtful folks among you: Mr. Vidal did not email the New York Times, or the Washington Post or the Wall Street Journal. He didn't even notify any Belizean publication (they would not have printed it, knowing who he was). He didn't even write a blog post. No. Of the five plus billion people on the planet, he chose Jeff Wise as the sole carrier of that falsehood. Why? Anyone else would have checked Vidal's credentials and no story would have been written. My first question was: How the hell did he find an email address for a man he had never met. I didn't know Jeff's email and he had written a dozen articles about me at the time. I'm not a smart man, but even I can see the strangeness of this. If there are any true investigative reporters left, please contact me and I will give you the full story with full documentation. I've been collecting information and waiting for this opportunity for years. I want to sit back peacefully and fish while I watch Jeff dance to the same tune he has been making me dance to for seven years. Jeff, once again, let his hatred of me override his common sense. If he had been thinking, he would simply have made up a name as his source. It wouldn't have mattered. And I would never have been motivated to look deeper. I, obviously, was the only person in the world who checked the facts, or else Jeff's story would instantly have been quashed. At that time I was on the run and couldn't have cared less. Marco Vidal wants me desperately. Jeff is his acquisition tool. Jeff chose Nanette as director because she had a successful history of creating fake documentaries. A smart choice. Showtime is simply a naive and innocent party to this. No-one checked the back story. Although they still will owe me a retirement complete with private island and mega yacht. Please, Showtime, show some grace and simply pay me without the formality of having to deal with lawyers. I will accept $500 million. Thank you. JOHN MCAFEE: MY BATTLE WITH SHOWTIME by John McAfee Sunday, August 28, 2016 I have always had an adversarial relationship with the press. In spite of this I am, with a few exceptions, gracious with my interviews. The exceptions happen when reporters become rude or it is apparent that underhanded techniques are being used to "create" a story. Here is an example of a less than gracious interview: I was called by a reporter at midnight a few years ago and asked for input on a story she was writing about a subject I knew nothing about. When I told her I knew nothing, she then asked: "Well, what are you up to these days?" I was irritated, first, that she had woken me up and, second, that she had used a ruse in order to get a story about me. "I've developed a new style of yoga" I told her. "It's called Observational Yoga". I went on to explain that practitioners sat in easy chairs, drinking wine and eating cheese, while they watched other people doing yoga in a stage. "The effects are exactly the same as if the person were actually doing the yoga" I told her. The interview went on for half an hour. She wrote a long story, but had the good sense to title it: *Here is the arcticle: John McAfee: Anti- virus king turned relational yoga inventor talks latest endeavor (or prank?)* You can see the article HERE. Another example, far more complex and sophisticated, is my battle with Showtime, beginning with this article, and continuing with a number of follow on articles to be completed the day before Showtime's debut of my film at the Toronto International Film Festival. Why would I have a problem with Showtime you might ask? It starts with executive producer Jeff Wise. Jeff wrote a few good articles about me years ago. They were not very popular reads. Catching on to the trend that sensationalism sells, he finally wrote an article about me on April 23rd 2010 titled "Boy Was I Wrong About Him". From that point on he wrote as if I was the Devil Himself. It culminated in a Gizmodo article in November 2012 which he stated that I was wanted for murder. This was a pure fabrication. At exactly the same time, local newspapers in Belize were reporting: "He is not wanted for murder, only for questioning, among others." Later, Raphael Martinez, Belize National Police Press Officer stated: "He is only wanted for questioning. He is not a criminal, so extradition is totally out of the equation," So why did I run, you might ask? The answers are all in "What really Happened In Belize." So, the fabricated label provided by Jeff became the truth, according to the media, it played much better than "wanted for questioning"- and I have lived with this label ever since. Would you not also be on the alert if you discovered that Jeff was the executive producer of a Showtime documentary about yourself? But enough of Jeff. There is a full story coming out about him later in this series. Now….. to the FUN part. Billy Corben, the director of Spike TV's upcoming six part miniseries about myself, when he discovered the involvement of Jeff Wise, recommended that I refuse all interview requests with Showtime. "This will force them to display the one-sided attitude that they started with" he said. But this was not good enough for me. I wanted to have some fun along the way. I correctly guessed that Showtime director, Nanette Burstein, would try every method of getting my input. I forced her into the email avenue. She bought it, hook, line and sinker, and included my emails as an integral part of her documentary, as evidenced in Showtime's advertisement for the film: *Here is the ad: won by Gary Johnson. Burstein's expansive examination, highlighted by interviews with McAfee's former gang associates and girlfriends, and cryptic email exchanges with McAfee himself, reveals new details of the unsolved* Problem is: At no time did I ever send Nanette an email. How did I pull this off, you might ask. To understand my technique, I must first explain the nature of my relationship to emails, DMs, IMs, private Facebook messages, etc. I have 49,000 Twitter followers, 32,000 Facebook followers, 33,000 Youtube Channel followers and I receive over 1,500 emails and IMs each week. At times when the media is hot on my tail, the email numbers can double. It is an impossible task for one person to answer them all. If you doubt these numbers, consider that I hand my email address out to all who ask, and even once published my private phone number in a Business Insider article on a dare. I am still suffering from that decision. Bots are used by most people in my position, but I consider that rude to my followers. So I have always used volunteers. They have login access to all of my accounts. This proved troublesome when a rogue volunteer absconded with my Twitter account last year and it took two months to get it back, during which time some truly bizarre tweets came from my account. But nothing is perfect. My volunteers take their responsibilities seriously. Among my most dedicated, for example, is Jaque Donahue. She is so into it that she handmade a mask, resembling me, that she wears every time she answers my communications, so that she can better get into the character of being me. Jaque even created, a couple of years back, a website detailing how a person could become me. Most of my volunteers study my own writing to the extent that they copy everything, even my characteristic misspellings. Some become so proficient that they have, on occasion, written entire articles under my name for national and international magazines. Rob Loggia and John Casaretto are two ghost writers that have written more than a few such articles. So, given these resources, it was simple to design a process that would make Showtime believe that they were communicating with me. In truth, in order to keep any of my own influence out of these emails, I read neither the Showtime questions nor my volunteer's responses for any of them. Volunteers were given instructions to say anything that they wanted, but to please liberally pepper their responses with as much disinformation as possible. They tell me they have done this. We did have one glitch. Nanette at one point sent an email in which she was puzzled about the sudden changes in my tone in the stream of emails. I was informed and thought for a while that she had caught on. But apparently not. We did have to jump through some hoops. I figured that Nanette would assume that I would attempt trick her and would attempt to trace my emails to their source location. This is difficult with Gmail, but, believe me, not impossible. Since my volunteers are widely dispersed geographically, our deception would become clear. Our solution was to funnel all outgoing emails to Showtime through a volunteer who was always with me wherever I traveled.
