DEAN BARROW

The Prime Minister’s Directive

Date: February 4, 2013 at 3:16 am- by John McAfee- Posted in McAfee Files- Comment(s): 580

Through a series of clever constitutional changes, The Belizean Prime Minster – Dean Barrow – has solidified his power as absolute as any dictator. So when he gives an order, it is obeyed, whether within the bounds of law or not. For example: In mid April last year Barrow told the GSU – “Get Arthur Young at all costs”. Two days later Arthur Young was handcuffed, with his hands behind his back, and was shot and killed by the police. [...]

Some people have posted inflamatory comments about a couple of subjects that, clearly, they do not have a full understanding of.  The first is the exif data (the date, time, type of camera, etc.) attached to many of my photos.  Anyone who has done a photo montage will know that the exif data for the final product will be the exif data for the lowest element of the montage.  Since most of my photos are montages, with a variety of [...]

  This part two post will itself have to be divided into two parts.  It turned out much larger than I thought The photo above is of one of the American women working both in Miami and in Belize.  Frequently government ministers and officials flew to Miami (two hours from Belize City) for business, pleasure, parties or what have you.  I needed resources in Miami to keep tabs on targets.  Nicky is prepping a few computers for delivery to “friends” [...]

  I thought I would do a brief introduction to some of the the girls who, by and large lived with me full time.  Without the assistance of these girls, It would have taken years to prime the socially engineered system that I put into place in Belize.  Sam was central in helping me manage and control the network.  She got along with all of the girls and her superior intelligence and quick wit usually allowed her to anticipate problems [...]

The GSU Escalates Its Violence

Date: January 10, 2013 at 10:03 pm- by John McAfee- Posted in McAfee Files- Comment(s): 60

  I received the following email today from Pedro Castellanos, a representative of a group of Latin American holders of the defaulted Belizean Superbond.  Belizean bond holders have lost hundreds of millions of dollars over the past year due to Prime Minister Dean Barrow’s default: Dear Mr. Mcafee, I represent a group of Belize 2029 bondholders from Latin America who are not satisfied with the bond negotiations taking place between Dean Barrow and the bondholders’ coordinating committee. Some of us [...]

A Clear And Present Danger

  After the April raid on my property in Orange Walk I went on the offensive.  I had asked for a simple apology and had received none.  I was pissed.  They had shot my dog, destroyed my property and stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things that I valued.  They have still not been returned. I purchased 75 cheap laptop computers and, with trusted help, installed invisible keystroke logging software on all of them – the kind that [...]

The Escape – Part One

  It’s Christmas day and I’m taking a break from the seriousness of my upcoming January 3rd post.  I thought I might post the picture story of the first half of Sam’s and my escape from Belize and my eventual arrival in the States.  It’s visually interesting and it is mostly a happy story – in line with most Christmas stories. I’ll start with our arrival, undercover, in Belize City a few days prior to our departure on our exit [...]

I apologize for my absence from the blog.  I took some alone time – much needed, and I took time to collect my thoughts and my data. I am safe now, in the country in which I grew up, went to school, got married and had children.  It is a country of laws and due process.  It is a country that allows freedom of speech – something that I have dearly missed in the 5 years I spent in Belize.

A note from John/Harold

Date: December 12, 2012 at 3:59 pm- by John McAfee- Posted in McAfee Files- Comment(s): 132

  Shorty after my detention, the Government of Belize lobbied Guatemala to have my access to the Internet cut off.  This would have crippled my ability to fight what was happening.  I had anticipated this and had a plan. The Guatemalans, by the way, have been as nice to me as my own family.  The guards and orderlies have been supportive and have treated me with kindness.  The officials have been apologetic and pointed to the upcoming peace accord with [...]

I have a monumental task ahead of me.  Much of the groundwork has been laid by Mr. McAfee in his prior posts.  Blogging while on the run, however, is probably not an easy task, which is  why, I assume,  Mr. McAfee left so much out of his previous posts.  I am trying to sort through the evidence data and am attempting to create a correspondence between John’s  posts and the mountain of names, dates and places that I now possess.  [...]

File Post 4

By: Harold M Mr. McAfee finally confronted Marcia on July 27th and demaded to know the truth.  When she was presented with undeniable evidence she confessed to everything.  John considered his options, which were limited.  He could not go to the police, since, as you will later see,  police officers were involved in the plot and any report would alert the officers or cause Mr. McAfee’s immediate arrest.  He chose to attempt to meet with Eric and James Swan and [...]

 
BELIZE CORRUPTION

Second file post

By: Harold M I am reposting an older post of Mr. McAfee’s and have added additional data from the files as supporting evidence.  I am doing this because I feel it is necessary to dispel certain pre-disposed attitudes in the mind of the press and the public before a proper understanding of events can occur. The Government has portrayed Mr. Mcafee as paranoid.  So has the press.  “Why armed guards?” is the government’s question.  “What on earth does he have [...]

The Judge

Date: December 6, 2012 at 6:24 am- by John McAfee- Posted in McAfee Files- Comment(s): 169

My lawyer just brought a judge to the jail and the judge issued a stay order until a higher judge can review the case.  This effectively stops Immigration from returning me to the Belize border. So….. the urgency is eased a bit.

Blogging from jail

I am in jail in Guatemala.  Vastly superior to Belize jails.  I asked for a computer and one magically appeared.  The coffee is also excellent. Only time will tell what will happen.  No one has a crystal ball.  However, I would be truly shocked if I did not conduct the press conference tomorrow as I had originally planned. Stay tuned. I believe, by the way, that blogging from a jail cell might be a groundbreaking activity.  Let’s see if it [...]

Latest Abuses of the GSU

The GSU never sits still.  Now that I am gone, they have returned to their old ways.  Yesterday, they prevented a man from entering court to testify against them in the shooting death of his brother two years ago.  The GSU had shoit his brother in cold blood.  Channel Five reports: “Zane Galvez is the brother of Chris Galvez, who was allegedly killed by police back in 2010.

I have retained Telésforo Guerra, former Attorney General for the country of Guatemala, to assist in my fight against the Government of Belize.  Mr. Guerra is one of most prominent attorneys in Guatemala and, as a shared border neighbor, is well versed in the intricate system of corruption with the Belizean Government.  Mr. Guerra is Samantha’s uncle. I have, in the past three weeks, had no contact with the American Embassy in Belize.  Since many employees of the Embassy are [...]

RIP TIGER

Dog Poisoned During Raid

I was just told, in person, that my dog Tiger, was poisoned while the police were at my property.  He fell down in convulsions, with the same symptoms displayed by the four dogs that were poisoned the night before Mr. Faul’s death.  There were 15 police at my propert during the raid. I had had Tiger for 9 years.  He moved to Belize with me 5 years ago and was the sweetest dog I have ever had.  I am not [...]

Cause of the raid

My a friends in the Police department have told me a wild tale.  Barely believable, but it’s from multiple sources so I have to give it some credence. Four weeks ago I donated about $100,000 worth of equipment to the San Pedro Police department.  See story  CLICK HERE Among the items donated were 40 or so  brand new stun guns still in the box.  Someone, at some point opened one of the boxes and inserted a bag of cocaine, and [...]

GSU Raid My Property Today

Today, at 10:45 A.M, the GSU and the Coast Guard raided my property in San Pedro.  They confiscated approximately $400,000 worth of property – cameras, computers, police gear purchased for donations (Note: I had donated tasers, pepper spray, to the SP Police department 4 weeks ago) and other items.  They spent 3 hours ransacking every one of my buildings.  This is the 8th search of my property since my disappearance.  It is certain, in my mind that something or other [...]

Much has been said in the press (and many questions in this blog) about my alleged use of MDPV (bath salts).  it’s time to put that issue to rest. Pure MDPV is the most addictive substance known to man.  Erowid (erowid.org) is the the largest repository of drug usage reports on the Internet.  Drug addicts, casual users, scientists and researchers post information about known drugs – the drug side effects, subjective experience, behavior modifications and addictive qualities.  If you log [...]

Belize Goverment Website Down

The official Belize Government Website has been down for nearly 24 hours.  In addition, the comment form on the Belize Tourism Association Website just went down.  One of two things has happened: 1. The millions of readers of this blog really did do what I asked and the volume of traffic has overwhelmed their system .- or – 2. The Government has purposely shut their systems down to prevent the rank and file employees from knowing what is happening.  No [...]

I still have friends within the Government here, not many, but enough.  I have been hearing, through the DPP’s office (the DPP is like the Attorney General in the States), that the Government is giving up on attempting to stick the murder charge on me, and is now looking for ways in which I violated the draconic gun laws here in Belize.  In actuality, this has been their plan for months.  A security consultant that I hired some months ago [...]

I have posted enough supporting documentation – audio tapes, photos, for those involved to realize that I really do have everything documented.  As with all unfolding stories, it’s the folks at the bottom who panic first.  Amy Chawla (Arthur Young’s – the young man killed by the GSU – ex-girlfriend) – who only briefly appeared in this blog, (and just as briefly involved in my life), and in no very incriminating way, just posted this message to my Facebook: To [...]

The average tourist in Third World countries seldom comes into contact with the real culture that they are lead to believe they are visiting. You fly into an International airport, are picked up and whisked to a hotel where your comings and goings are regulated by the hotel staff – through activity bookings – or the tour or travel companies that take you to allegedly see the “real” country. Even a walk into town on your own reveals little because, [...]
