I am sending the links to this page to every website with McAfee reports. For anyone doing the same, I found that the easiest way to get people directly to this page is to use this link: http://www.whoismcafee.com/30/#comments

It would be easy for anyone reading this, to forward that link to the news, politicians, friends, etc. The media could be focusing on the truth by reporting the real issues Belize is facing as stated in these reliable sources, instead of wasting valuable air time creating a spin on John McAfee that has been so distorted. John is one of the kindest, smartest, most brilliant and caring persons I ever met. And he has the right to confront people who are ill intended toward him. With the damage Belize GSU has already caused him, it makes total sense why John would respond in the way he has. Anyone criticizing and judging him, just needs to do their research. Seek understanding, not judgment. Truth is freedom. Love heals. Love to all.

I admire your resolve. I lived in Belize and El Salvador for the better part of the nineties but was finally bled dry to the point that I packed up my Belizean/Salvadoran wife and four kids and brought them to Canada. Would have loved to stay and right the wrongs but alas the funds dried up. Been broke ever since.

You have every justification in distrusting Dean Barrow. He is NOT an honourable man. Never has been and likely never will be. There is no legitimate reason he should be the Prime Minister of Belize. In fact if the voter base was legitimate he wouldn’t be. Lot’s of newly minted Belizeans felt obligated to put an “X” on the ballot beside his name.

Then there’s the GSU. Why they aren’t incarcerated in Hattieville is not so much a mystery as it is a travesty. I nearly lost my niece Illiana, her daughter Jasmin and her common law husband, Mike Menjivar to these trigger happy goons. It was by pure blind luck alone that my mother-in-law wasn’t there when these thugs showed up in the middle of the night, shot the dogs and sprayed the house, both inside and out, with automatic gunfire. She usually cared for Jasmin but just happened to be visiting a son in San Ignacio on the fateful night.

It amazes me that no GSU or innocent bystanders were killed or maimed by errant crossfire. Poor aim – sheer luck – divine intervention – who the hell knows for sure.

John, you are completely justified in your paranoia concerning the GSU. These thugs don’t play by the rules and they only answer to the one person that is unwavering in his justification for their existence, namely Prime Minister Dean Barrow. You have first hand experience with Dean Barrow’s Goon Squad Unit so you would know.

There are many that comment here that would imply, if they don’t outright say so, that you are being overly paranoid. Quite frankly I find you amazingly composed considering the circumstances. I would likely still be in Belize if I hadn’t have run out of money because I tend to get a bit righteous when I witness injustice. I completely understand and empathize with your stand.

When Mike and Illiana had their house shot up I did everything I could with the resources I had to enlighten everyone I could possibly think of about the corruption and injustice rampant in Belize. It’s sad that your neighbour Greg ended up being a homicide victim but hopefully there’s a silver lining to the dark clouds hanging over present day Belize. Maybe now the Belizean people will start firing off some tough questions to their Prime Minister and maybe the rest of the world will finally know the truth about serious corruption and injustice that’s completely missing from travel blogs, brochures and advertisements.

In any case I wish you all the luck in the world. You’ll likely need a little to supplement your financial resources. Be thankful for your health and the companionship of the lovely ladies of Belize (been happily married to one seventeen years younger than me for the last eighteen years), keep your chin up and right some wrongs.
