Belize Corruption File 1

 

By: Harold M

Birth of the Anthony Rayburn tapes

 

 

Two weeks before the last Belizean elections John was approached by Anthony Rayburn a leader in Carmelita village (the village where Mr. Mcafee had his residence)  who for many years had worked for a local Politician by the name of Landy burns, Mr. Rayburn asked for a donation for Mr. Burns campaign in the amount of two million dollars, in return Mr Rayburn’s assurance on the future political favors would be more than the donations…

JOHN REFUSED …

Shortly after the elections Mr Raeburn approached Mr McAfee for a job, and Mr McAfee gave him a position as a security guard. Mr McAfee later learned that Mr Rayburn was in fact working as an informant to Mr Landy Burns and Mr McAfee fired him on April 16 2012, two weeks later on April 30 2012 Johns property was raided by the GSU (Gang suppression unit), John later discovered that Mr. Rayburn had been working with the GSU prior to the raid, to help plan the raid.. After the raid John learned Rayburn was still working with the GSU in order to help them setup John for another arrest. Within days, John had arranged to tape a few conversations between Rayburn and another village resident by the name of  Luc Bull whose nickname is JUNI. The first conversation was held on May 14 2012 and the second on May 17 2012, the following are the audio tapes of the conversations in Creole followed by the English text. You should be able to understand much of the audio, even without translation.

Tony- I know all about the white man’s set up am glad you decided to talk to me Juni. You and I we are going to plan how to make a bomb so that it explodes on that mother fucker.

That same big belly coolie guy told me that noel was passing information to the white man. One morning I got up an got on in the bus and that’s when the coolie guy told me that Noel has been telling the white men stuff.

While we are in a lull, remember that John is sitting in a Guatemalan prison awaiting extradition back to Belize.  Your emails helped release his freinds.  How about doing the same for him.  If Belize no longer insists on his return, then the Guatemalan Government will let himcome home.  Here are the addresses, bot of the Guatemalan President, and Belize

    John has stated that most of the officials at the Embassy are Belize natiionals with local ties. He was wary of that.

    Second, once entering the embassy he only had two options. First, stay indefinitely in the embassy as a political prisoner like Julian Assange…..or second, leave the embassy and be back in the clutches of the local Belize authorities.

    The Embassy in Belize significantly narrowed his future options if he elected to hole up there.

    It looks tasteful, low key, understated, & elegant. Not ostentatious or over the top, & her dress is lovely. It was early February & cold, so I think a short fur was appropriate & probably belonged to her mother. I guess I hate being unkind to 2 people I don’t know, especially about their wedding.

    It wasn’t that hard to find stuff that lends a lot of support to back up Johns story of corruption in Belize. The more i look in to this the more I’m convinced hes innocent and completely innocent at that.

    By today’s standards, he may not be in the “one percent” anymore. BUT – do you think corruption only affects the one percent? THINK again. This is not a third-world-only problem, by the way. John should find the best country in the world. It’s called the ocean, and a thousand brave souls now call that a permanent home. I recommend eighty feet minimum, with sail power to go on the cheap when he wants. (he can probably afford more) If he loads it with winches and self furlers, he can ditch the crew if they decide to mutiny. Hit the South Pac. and island hop. Live life – that’s what it’s for …

    Well everyone knows Belize is rotten with corruption especially worst under the Dean Barrow government,they collect the millions from foreghn aid for the people of Belize and they use the $ for their personal gain and its a fact that cannot be hidden all BELIZEANS knows of it,and we cannot run or hide it it true and its sad.”

    I hope other 1%ers are paying notice. It pays to choose which country you fly away to, to avoid taxes and possible lawsuits.

    If John makes it through this one, maybe that could be his next blog.

    This is astonishing information. It looks like the press has told an upside down story so far. It’s got me doubting everything I hear on the news. Here is an article from the Financial Times that makes McAfee appear a lot more sane that I believed:

    I think you’re basing this on the posts of this site. I think MOST people think John is guilty as sin and a paranoid delusional man. Do i think there is corruption in Belize? ABSOLUTELY but he better come up with a lot better evidence than this. He should have immediately gone the the US Embassy in Belize, should have answered the questions being asked of him w/US Embassy staff present . Running makes you appear guilty whether you are or not.

  16. Gaby Avatar

    To Arteee…Proved guilty by whom is the question. Today, people are first judged by the media, then there is the court of public opinion, based on the media. The media is very powerful and no longer must back the stories with fact. They are all judges, stories are mostly editorials. And, there are few that do anything but copy from the other, even then, getting the facts wrong. Ever heard of the “gossip game”?With the internet and instant news, we are all hooked, no time to verify the facts any longer before publishing, and then it is too late, the damage is done.

    We may never know the truth in this story. I for one, would not believe anything The Belize government would come up with, not just based on the words of John, but mostly on the history of the injustices and the corruption that is all over the Belize news that has been going on for awhile. The prosecuting arm of the government is headed by the wife of PM Dean Barrow. Everything, and everyone are intertwined, including the governments of Guatemala and Belize.

    Would I believe it if John were proven guilty? It depends on the proof, where it came from, who it came from and I deem that to be credible. But I am not the judge and this story is so complex, we may never really know.

    To this point, I do not believe he is guilty and understand why he has been hiding based what I have read, not jjust here but also from many other souces. You certainly have the right to believe what you believe but you may want to wander away from the mainstream internet news for a bit and talk a walk through Belize. Read the local news of Belize. You may end up questionning your current opinion.

    Even IF in a moment of madness, John murdered the neighbor, which I certainly do not think he did, don’t miss the story behind the GOB. He is speaking TRUTH ….THAT must be acknowledged and exposed. John will never be safe there.The murder likely was meant for him.

  18. loose cannon Avatar

    Oh & the raid may have taken place because of Anthony Rhaburn telling an official that John was manufacturing drugs there & had unlicensed guns. But he had a personal vendetta & we have no idea when that tape was made, before or after the raid, & he could have easily made the tip anonymously, so the GSU had to investigate. That is their duty & they have to do the same with drug cartels & gangsters throughout Belize. They are trying to stop the violence & the drug crime, although they are overstepping their bounds in many cases. Why would they raid his compound without believing what they’d been told? It only made them look bad, not John.They also didn’t plant drugs & they dropped the charges. They were very aggressive, but unfortunately they do the same thing here with drug busts & they shot the one dog, because it attacked 2 of the men. They didn’t shoot the many other dogs there. . Please don’t think I’m leaning one way or the other. I’m just trying to see what the court in Guatemala will see, & there has got to be more proof. Samantha is not a good witness because of her relationship with John & these 2 recordings will be thrown out of court. They cannot grant asylum on heresay, tapes without proof of who’s speaking & who they’re speaking about. Let’s hope that there’s more out there that can help him. I am just trying to see it through the eyes of a judge. We’ve got to be smart & level-headed about this. And yes, he may be guilty of murder. We just don’t know. Right now, it’s not about that. Its about whether he can prove persecution from the government of Belize.

    John…i am praying for your safety and that you are not returned to Belize. Speak truth to power!!! I lived in Belize City alone for many months in 2011. All white folk are targeted, the assumption we are all rich. I cannot imagine what they have set you up for and have followed you for many months…the corruption is unreal! You are the light they want to extinguish…hang in there!

  20. loose cannon Avatar

    I’m not sure what to think, but if this is all the evidence, then there is no proof or case for widespread corruption. It’s not for me whether he is guilty or not, but rather if all he has said is true. He may not be guilty of murder, but the lengths he’s gone to in avoiding questioning just don’t fit the facts. The only raid that can be verified is the one in Orange Walk & it seems they had reason to do so, with the many guns he had there & his associations with high level gangsters. The 2 at Captain Morgan’s are questionable at best, because no one, including his neighbor whose balcony he was passed out on, saw any police whatsoever, also confirmed by the front desk & security, who saw nothing on the property. The one that supposedly happened on the beach when he was hiding in the bushes, I don’t believe that either. Perhaps his paranoia caused him to see these things, which can happen in a heightened state of fear. The fact remains that a man has been murdered & the honorable thing to do is answer their questions with your attorneys. Otherwise you’ll be running for the rest of your life with this cloud of suspicion. Seeking to be returned to the US will also bring unwanted attention, because the victim was also a citizen of the US & his family has the right to know that you have answered all of the questions posed to you in the country where the murder took place. What a mess. I just wish it was over for everyone involved.

    The press conference. The only news I can find on this is a short tweet by Martin Savige. Please can this blg be updated with some info? Logically, we should get the info here first as we have discovered, the press does not always report accurately and puts its own spin on everything. Thanks for all the hard work but it will be for naught if this blog dies.

    John, I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling better. These (above) accounts shock me more now than when you first posted them. Simply because the passing of time has revealed events which support your story, so it has (even) more credibility to me than it did then.

    Best wishes to Sam, also. She may be tough but I fear she has not had enough summers to cope with this as easily as someone older. I hope she is safe and OK and is still smiling.

    And remember, #1 priority must be your short term health especially if you have some hoops to jump through. I have immense admiration for what you are doing. Talk against corruption is so cheap…to combine it with actions as you have done is beautiful to see. Really inspiring and I thank you most sincerely for that. I am sure you would rather be fishing or some such peaceful pursuit, but I hope you can take some satisfaction in knowing that your situation has spawned positivity (at least in me :-))

    Quatemala President Fri, Dec 7:

    “Mcafee came from Belize after the murder of his neighbour, it doesn’t give us the impression that there is any kind of political persecution, but there is a fear of the ongoing investigation. We’re not going to allow people who are trying to flee an investigation to come here to Quatemala.”

    It’s possible that Belize police have told Quatemalan officials that Belize investigators have unpublished evidence that puts John as the prime suspect in the Faull murder.

    John, with all respect, I hope for your sake that you have something more interesting than this to (re) release. You’ve made some serious claims regarding widespread corruption and a conspiracy that has supposedly penetrated all levels of the Belizean government, but no concrete evidence. If you expect any widespread support for your claims apart from your loyal fans who comment on these posts, you’ll need something far more substantial.

    Is this the latest information on whereabouts and the state of possible extradition? Anyone have anything more recent? If this article is accurate the attorney has files several different types of appeals that must be dealt with in order before any possible extradition…

    “The appeals could take several days to resolve, Guerra said. He added that he could still use several other legal resources but wouldn’t give any other details.

    Fredy Viana, a spokesman for the Immigration Department, said that before the agency looks into the request to allow McAfee to stay in Guatemala, a judge must first deal with the appeal asking that authorities make sure McAfee’s physical integrity is protected.

    “We won’t look into (allowing him to stay) until the other appeal is resolved,” Viana said. “The law gives me 30 days to resolve the issue.”

    That said, based on the bizarre posts, changing narrative, and location reveal by Vice, there seem to be some competing interests in your story. Do what’s best for you and Sam alone.. Stay safe and Godspeed…

    Dean Barrow has had some experience with deportations. His eldest son, rapper Jamal Shyne Barrow, was deported from the US in October 2009 after his release from prison in New York. Daddy Barrow became angry with President Obama for not helping his son.

    In 2010 Shyne was deported back to Belize again by Great Britain.

    And in my honest opinion this should be a lesson to all US citizens that when you are out in Central America and get your house burned down, I guess your S.O.L. The State Department should be demanding his release to the U.S. embassy. He has made the US millions upon millions of dollars and even he cannot get help from them. I’ll never go to Central America after reading this crazy story for weeks on end. I feel horrible for McAfee and everyone involved.

    It was the Prime Minister of Belize that called McAfee “bonkers” to the international press. This is kind of like the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of the UK calling someone “bonkers”. First world countries don’t do that thing. This is a human rights abuse right there and a basic form of political persecution. It would be like the head of state of some country calling you or me crazy. It’s just a pretense for what will happen if he goes back to Belize and it does give heavy clout to his argument about political persecution. It is ongoing and it has come straight out of the PM’s mouth. He faces NO charges there. Send him back to the United States.

    That fat fuck came and threatened to shoot me and my dogs last year at my house in Cayo. You really should contact me. My dog was poisoned, I was illegally incarcerated for a crime I did not commit in Belize and this fat fuck also threatened my life. I’m beginning to think you aren’t so “bonkers” after all. Really. I don’t agree with the penchant for young women, but that’s got nothing to do with what is happening to you. I have also been a victim of corruption, but not on such a grandiose scale, but for my life…it was.

    I don’t think they can deport him to the states. He came in illegally from Belize. That’s the problem. If only he had come in legally they wouldn’t have arrested him. But usually when you come in illegally, they send you back to the last country you came from, which is Belize.

    That ex-employee (Tony) of Mr. McAfee that you hear on the recordings.. Well, I think he wanted to kill Mr. McAfee, but decided to kill his neighbor instead (and probably his dogs too) to frame him up.

    Tony has the motive. He has one hell of a grudge and connections with the armed forces!

    As stated in the previous post, this is the first of files to be released in the event he does not communicate with Chad or others who are maintaining this blog for him. It is likely John no longer has access to a computer. The public statements of the president and other officials of Guatemala show they do not like John or the media circus around him. I read one article stating President Molina had read John’s blog and other reports and did not want John and the people he surrounds himself in Guatemala. The media attention is removing the focus off of more pressing issues.

    A couple of news sources are reporting that John might be deported to the US as an alternative. This is possible as there is no warrant for his arrest and he is an American citizen. So, it might be helpful to write to Guatemalan officials with that suggestion. It gets them out of the spot light fast and gets John to a safe location fast. As noted in another article, the extradition treaty between the US and Belize is mostly for sending narcotrafficers to the US for prosecution and has no real provision for sending US citizens to Belize for prosecution. If Belize officials wish to speak with him, they can do so on US soil, the same as US officials would go to another country to speak to a person of interest about a crime rather than extradite them.

    Legally, Guatemala can deport you to Belize or the United States, but the fact that they’ve been eying Belize without even an arrest warrant from Belize, leads me to suspect that Guatemalan immigration officials have been compromised, that is, somebody is offering them money.

    A lawyer for software company founder John McAfee says the self-styled fugitive is feeling better after suffering chest pain, and hopes to stay in Guatemala despite the rejection of his political asylum request.

    Attorney Telesforo Guerra told reporters outside the detention center where McAfee is being held that the creator of the McAfee antivirus program is in good health, and his team is filing four separate legal appeals in an effort to prevent his return to Belize, where police want to question him in connection with the fatal shooting of another U.S. expatriate. He expects McAfee to stay at least until Monday.

    McAfee says he had no involvement in the shooting of his neighbor on a Belizean island, and authorities are persecuting him because he knows about official corruption

    Orlando Burns has a hardware store in Orange Walk Town and is allegedly the political boss extorting money from businessmen such as Mr. McAfee. Burns is an associate of Alfredo Martinez, the ambassador of Belize In Guatemala city who is working to have John sent to Belize. Like Burns, Martinez is a rejected politician from Orange Walk town. Burns lost his bid to gain a seat in the last General Elections and is understandably very angry at McAfee for not giving him financial support and for outing him.

    But his party the UDP is in power and is protecting him and appointed him to head the powerful Belize Natural Energy Trust where he controls millions of dollars of oil revenue. Mr. McAfee’s fate is in the hands of very powerful and possibly corrupt politicians in Belize.

    Let’s use logic considering John’s situation involving corruption in Belize.
    His neighbor is murdered and Belize authorities state that they only want to question John McAfee and that he is not a suspect but a person of interest. So, one that note, before they actually issue this statement, before they made their intentions known, they storm his compound with paramilitary forces, arresting his friends and attempting to arrest John. Not a detective ringing at the door to gather information. Later they haul off half a million dollars worth of John’s property and harass his employees. What difficulty is there to see that John was being targeted, especially when compiled with a history of being mistreated and harassed.
    One more point, I have concern that Guatemala will inaccurately assume a position positive towards the 1st world press which has villianized McAfee and send him back to Belize so that it can have it’s head patted, or more precisely, look honorable in the world’s eyes. Hopefully rational forces within the Guatemalan Government will prevail.

    Does it matter when it was released. To me, the content is disturbing not the release date. Stay focused. Of Belize wants more tourists to visit, they need to clean it up majority. I’m from the US but live in a city that is considered a border town to Mexico. You cod not pay me Togo there or Belize for that matter. See, our government here in the states is just as corrupt, however, we have something called the Due Process which essentially protects us and allows us to be innocent until PROVEN guilty. It’s sad that these Countries don’t offer their citizens that respect and protection. The government on Belize should be ashamed of themselves. I truly believe there is a special place in hell for corrupt, unethical pieces of crap, such as the GSU and the political official that began this non sense. Stand proud Mr. McAfee, the truth always prevails. Unfortunately, these people have the means to cover the truth, but thankfully, you have collected evidence along the way! Stay strong and continue to fight for the truth, not just for you and your friends but for the life of Mr. faull. I know eating is difficult but try and at least stay hydrated!

    Yes, folks, we did get this a while back, but IMHO John is setting up the story from the beginning – it’s called context. Especially for those folks that are just tuning in now, I doubt they will dig back into the archives on this blog for this info. So he’s putting it up again so ALL of us can fall along.
    -John- Please elaborate, we and you need more proof, it’s important that you do so with haste, as I can see folks nodding off and for those of us who believe in you we need some more ammo to take to the critics… And we’d love to not see your ass in a BZ prison. ok, I didn’t mean ass, like in prison, oh.. fuck it, whatever, you know what I’m sayin… stay strong but deliver the goods – we’ve been with you thus far.

    Hopefully he is still in Guatemala. We know if he is put on that plane and returned they will hold him for 48 hours. Anything could happen and i really fear for his safety… I wish Sam and john a happy ending to all of this madness. I am guessing that by releasing some of these files might help insure his safety if returned to Belize or if he is to be found dead those on the tapes would have something to do with it… I think John might have guessed right on the possibility that HE was the target NOT Greg his neighbor .. They hit/got the wrong house…..

    You need to read more carefully. The initial GSU raid took place 2 weeks after McAfee fired Rayburn. And also, 2 million dollars is a heck of a lot of money for the campaign of one local Belize official. It stands to reason a lot of that money was being kicked upstairs and the local politician was only a distancing tactic.

    As far as Rayburn, he says in the transcripts that he used to be in the BDF (Belize Defense Force) and in fact that’s where he’s getting the bomb from. He also talks about planting evidence on McAfee’s compound to justify a new GSU raid. And that’s where its kind of confusing though, as are Juni and Rayburn planning a personal revenge killing (via a bomb) or another set up of McAfee for the GSU.


    I now have something that’s round. I could give it to you. you pull the pin like this. You walk pass the gate and when no one notices then you pull out the pin you turn it then a lot of them are going to get fucked.

    With the white men we are going to plant the thing there then we are going to call the higher officials and tell them were the thing is planted. And then tell them about Noel as well, then there are both going to get fucked.”

    Juni-so the BDF is the one getting the things for you so when we get it we cant bomb noel and have more for the other man.but it has to be a day when all of tem are there

    As an aside, its somewhat puzzling that McAfee would hire a high-ranking employee of Burns (Rayburn), whom he had just abruptly turned down a request for 2 mil, and have him come into his home to live in close proximity as a security guard. Seems that someone like McAfee would be shrewder than this. Although I guess Rayburn maybe had some song and dance about being fired by Burns after the election. And coming and asking for a job is a somewhat humble approach, so maybe McAfee was disarmed by this. Wait now I’ve got it: McAfee suspected all along a setup, and was “keeping his friends close and his enemies closer”. Still, seems like a stupid move, because by being inside McAfee’s house, Rayburn would be in a position to lie about what he saw and provide a false pretext for a GSU raid (which is evidently what happened).

    Those of us who have been reading this blog from day one, and anyone who went back to the archives to read past posts, have heard this audio and read these transcripts weeks ago. Perhaps it may have been useful to post considering how the audience of this blog has presumably grown over the past few weeks, but it is hardly a groundbreaking development. I do believe in John’s innocence and I think that he does have further evidence to prove that Belize is thoroughly corrupt. Please, release some news.

    WTF!!! Just listen to these audio recordings — they are scary! The bottom line here is that John would not be safe in Belize if he is forced to return there now. It sounds like there are several groups out to get him because he has pissed them off in some way or another. He should be given political asylum in Guatemala immediately or returned to the U.S! Then let the experts go through all of the evidence in a methodical manner. Sounds like John has a lot of audio evidence of corruption to share. – Z

    Tony was never a “double agent” that implied John expected him to spill any secrets about the corrupt government in Belize. Never was this suggested in posts up to this one.

    from my view and my opinion, you cannot hold the messenger responsible for the requestor’s actions. aka John cant blame Tony for asking for the donation / bribe for the politician as it was his job to do so. Once John thought Tony lost his job, he did the only thing John knew to do, and go out on a limb to give the guy a job.

    This is no way makes him a double agent. Its called infultration and Backstabbing.

    Burns also addressed the issue of corruption that had been leveled at him by outgoing General Manager Sewell last week. She said he had been given a container with 368 chairs to distribute to schools in the north in March and that, a.) he didn’t account for them and, b.) he overcharged schools for them.

    Tony even says, BDF, not GSU. He worked for the BDF & Ms. Olga, whoever that is, did too. But this is all heresay by a man who clearly resented John, not a government conspiracy. Please show something that showing government involvement. Otherwise I think he’s in trouble. People in Belize badmouth the PM & government all the time, including the GSU, & they’re not dead, even if they are rich.

  95. Arabella Avatar

    These 2 recordings & translations have already been posted weeks ago. Is there anything else? These 2 guys were just local thugs who were mad at John & wanted to go after him. Even if Rhaburn tried to bribe him, it doesn’t show the government involvement. It seems there’s alot of that going on during elections. John should have reported them. But how is the PM involved & the GSU? They weren’t involved in this. I wish there was something new, because the police who John made donations to, don’t have anything to do with this either. Just a couple of thugs from a small town that are full of talk.
