Understanding the culture Part One – Timesha


I met Timesha 2 years ago while writing a story about the Mennonites of Belize. The Mennonites are austere and hard working, yet each Friday, many of the men allegedly went to a local bar in Orange Walk, drank, paid women for sex, and partied. I found it hard to believe, so I arranged to take photos at the bar on Friday mornings to help with my story. I showed up for five weeks straight before I finally got the photo I wanted:

While waiting for the right shot (it is difficult to get candid photos of men sneaking around and breaking rules), I met Timesha. She slowly opened up to me and over the next few months she told me her story. I asked permission to post it here, as I asked permission from everyone in every photo. Here is her story. I repet it here because it is not an unusual story for young women in Belize. Here it is:

“Most of my hair fell out when I was 7 years old.” Timesha told me recently, sitting at a corner table in the abnormally quiet bar. “And my skin turned almost white. I was really sick. They said it was because I didn’t eat enough food. For a year, all we had to eat was boiled plantains. I got to hate them. My grandmother in Belize City started sending a box of food for us once a week on the bus and I got better.”

Timesha never really knew her father while growing up, and she and her four siblings were raised by her mother in Orange Walk Town. When she was nine, her mother’s boyfriend moved in with them and, not long before her tenth birthday, began having sex with her. She had her first child, a girl, when she was 15. The child was taken away from her by the girl’s father when the girl was 2 years old. The father, who was living with a woman in Gayle’s point in Southern Belize, seldom stayed at Gayle’s point and the child was left primarily in the care of the father’s girlfriend, who burned the child severely and repeatedly with a hot clothes iron. “She stares a lot now” said Timesha while describing her last visit with her daughter – something she is allowed by the courts to do once a month. Timesha has been trying, without success, to get her daughter back since the very day she was taken from her. As long as she keeps her current job, there will be no hope of retrieving the child.

She pulled out a tattered photo once to show me herself (left) and her daughter with the daughter’s paternal grandmother, who must be present at all Timesha’s visits with her daughter.

Timesha works as a “bar girl” in lover’s bar. She is not a prostitute. She is young and pretty and men may sit with her providing they simply buy her a beer. When the beer is finished, they must buy another or leave the table. Sometimes she dances to attract customers, either by herself of with another girl at the bar.

She dances provacatively, in the Garifuna stye – with much swinging of the hips and suggestive hand gestures and body language.

Timesha is charming and intelligent and is in high demand for conversation among the bar’s clients who can afford a beer, but not a prostitute, or who simply want the company of a pretty woman – frequently hoping that they can bed her later. A beer normally costs $1.50 for a patron who buys one for himself, and $3.00 if he buys one for a girl. Timesha is paid $1.00 for every beer that she drinks. When each beer is delivered to the table, the girl is given a chip which is cashed in at the end of the day. While a man is sitting with her, they are allowed to touch her, except for the private parts of her body, and she will place her hand in a friendly manner on the man’s leg or drape an arm across him in some fashion.

“How many beers do you drink on an average day?” I asked her.

“It depends” she replied. “On weekdays maybe 20. On weekends I can have over 50. I once drank 16 beers in half an hour. The customer liked me. I usually make an excuse, after a few beers, to leave the table and then go to the bathroom and throw them up. I put my hand down my throat”

“Do all the girls throw them up like that?” I asked.

“Most of them do” she said. “But a few just drink until they get too drunk to work”.

Timesha is adept at dispatching beers without appearing to chug them. The faster she drinks, the more money she can make.

Timesha was born and raised in a tiny house at the edge of Orange Walk Town 22 years ago. The house has belonged to her mother’s family for three generations. She seldom went to school – there was usually no money for books and other costs associated with education, and in addition, she was needed at home. Timesha is the eldest of five children – she has three younger brothers and one younger sister. They are all from different fathers. Timesha’s father left home when Timesha was three years old and never returned. He provided no support after leaving, and little support while there, and did not contact Timesha for 14 years after leaving. She confronted him when she was 17. She told him about the lack of food, clothes, electricity and the absence of even the simplest comforts in the home she lived in while he, during the same period, was drinking, partying and ploughing through a long line of women. He had come to the home, on learning that he had grandchildren, and brought a doll as a present.

“If you knew anything at all you would bring food.” She told him. “You buy that bitch you’re with a necklace and your granddaughter is hungry.”

Orange Walk is a small place, and the goings on of each citizen is well know to all of the others.

Timesha’s two daughters were born in this house. She had one miscarriage, at the age of 14. Few people in Belize go to hospitals to give birth. Most give birth at home, in front of the entire family. Children as young as two will watch. Mothers hand down the secrets of childbirth to their daughters, making midwives an unnecessary element of the society.

Violence in the home is the norm in Belize. Drug and alcohol abuse is endemic, and, when combined with widespread poverty, creates a volatile mix. Police will not respond to a domestic violence call unless a death or serious maiming has been the result. Judges will generally not mete out punishments for conflicts arising between husband and wife nor between parents and children. The general assumption of the populace is that marriage and family contain violence as an integral component.

Timesha was beaten by all of her mother’s boyfriends. Most of them because they were drunk and angry. One because she resisted his sexual advances. She still has a scar on her neck where the man held a knife to her throat, and in the heat of his passion and drunkenness, pushed the knife in. “Blood was everywhere.” She said. She still has the scar:

Timesha had always said that she would never work in a bar. She would clean toilets for a living first. But six months ago her younger sister, Shakira, who has worked more than a year for the bar’s owner – Pazus, introduced her to him. Pazus had been lobbying Shakira for many months to bring her sister in to meet him. Timesha and Shakira are close:

Pazozo explained to Timesha that bar girls were respectable girls, not prostitutes. He explained how the job frequently leads to long term relationships with respectable men who have good jobs and fine prospects. He told her that she could earn $50 a day from beers and tips. He told her the secret of purging the beers she drinks. He explained all this softly and sincerely as a father would explain some intricate part of life to a daughter that he loved. He summed up by saying that trying it for a day or two could not harm her and that she might be passing up an opportunity that she would much later regret.

Every prostitute in Pazozo’s bar began their career as a bar girl, and bar girls seldom quit their jobs. They could never make as much money in any other job available to them. Over time, sitting in the same room, and frequently at the same table as the prostitutes, who make three times as much money, the natural progression to prostitution commences. Here is Timesha and Shakira at a table with two of the bar’s “working girls”.

It begins, usually, with a real attraction to a given customer, who may, over time, have become close to the girl. Girls are forbidden to date customers outside of work, and if an infraction is discovered, the girl is fired. Customers, however, can pay a “bar fine” and leave the bar with a girl. The bar fine is supposed to cover the lost revenue suffered by the bar because of the girl’s lost work time. Bar fines are not fixed fees and are negotiated individually and personally with Pazozo. Pazozo takes into account the productivity of the girl, the amount of time she will be away from the bar and the estimated size of the customer’s wallet, and then comes up with a price. The girl gets 25% of the bar fine.

There is no talk of purchasing sex, and Pazus is clear with the customer that his success with the girl will depend on how smooth he talks and acts, and wishes him luck, but in the customer’s mind, he has paid for the girl and therefore has certain rights. It doesn’t take many encounters of this nature for a girl to begin to change her attitude towards herself. It’s a short walk from here to outright prostitution.

Timesha says she has considered it already. “Every man I’ve been with has fucked me, beat me and left me with nothing, except my babies.” She told me once. “Maybe it would be better to get paid for it. They couldn’t beat me in here.”

Timesah did not become a prostitute. She began living with me a year and a half ago. She has her own house on my property and she has her privacy. She has returned to school and is proud of her progress. And I am proud of her.

I tell this story because it is not an unusual story for this country. Due to the economic situation, there is rampant poverty and privation. The powerful accumulate the wealth and spread it to their own families. The rest have little. This imbalance could not exist if the law had teeth and the powerful were obliged to follow it.

I will continue to post these stories, with photos so that you might better understand where I live.

    I have researched Belize for some time and hope to create employment there in the near future. Corruption in the police force is everywhere. The human factor goes off course in the most unexpected places, such as those hired to protect us. I can’t believe what happens in my civilized city and with a police force that polices itself. However, there does seem to be evidence that suggests other factors are at play – such as a possible robbery in the hood. The scenario makes sense – someone should have seen something, some locals may know for sure. Most of us do not want to see an innocent man accused of a crime they did not commit and I believe this to be true of the powers to be in Belize. The moral majority want the truth to be told. If poisoning dogs was a methodology regarding crime, there would be other cases similar on the docket and in the area. Someone could help by turning over a few stones.

    The path from A (living with 7 women) does not directly lead to B(shooting your neighbor).

    Again, what is your motive for killing your neighbor? You know how corrupt the government there is, I don’t think you would risk actually committing a crime.

    All your guns were legal. The women you lived with are of legal age. They were not being held there against their will. You were living your life in a law abiding fashion.

    In a polite society, we would be discussing neither.

    The details of Mr. McAfee’s relationships are not for us to speculate on. Every news story I have seen has mentioned the sex and/or drug angle to this story. Neither of those is the issue here.

    The legal age of consent is 16 in Belize. The lab on Mr. McAfee’s property was built for botanical research. I am amused that some claim that he was looking for “female Viagra”. Females can use Viagra for essentially the same effect it has on men. It’s not an aphrodisiac.

    Americans need to stop trying to put every culture into a tidy little American box. And I am disappointed in the media for being lazy and not reporting the facts.

    Sir, you have played the media like a virtuoso. If not for Mr. Faull’s murder, which I believe you to be innocent of btw, Wired would have run with the feature article at the first of the year if they had room. There likely would be no followup and you and Sam would have had a good chuckle.

    I think you are innocent because if you were inclined to, you would be more clever and not that crass and mediocre to just shoot a man. But I think you prefer to be amused by people than to have them gone.

    You people are fuckin’ retarded. Are you seriously insinuating that, because a man has physical relations with a woman, that he is incapable of also caring for that woman as a fellow human being? Seriously? Yeah, there’s guys out there that are womanizing pigs. There’s also women out there that use men in the same way. What the fuck does that have to do with this man’s story??? Who cares who he fucks or who fucks him. SEX IS GREAT. It connects two(or more) people in a way that you cannot get without that physical connection. Dude’s telling you he’s on the run, the fuckin’ currupt cops & government are out to get him, he provides a story from a young woman that he knows & openly states he’s had relations with, and you numbskulls sit here and continue to pollute the mans blog with talk about what he does with his genitals and why. WTF!? Every day that goes by, I lose a little more hope for civilization. The man tells a story(true or not, only the people involved truly know) and you fools talk about who’s fucking who. GROW THE FUCK UP. John, as an IT Professional myself, I hate your Anti-Virus software(as well as Norton). I uninstall it from every machine I encounter. But as a man who’s had to deal with corrupt law enforcement and judges personally, if what you’re saying is true, ride ’till you die! FUCK CORRUPTION. FUCK OPPRESSION. 2012 is JUST THE BEGGINING of the World Revolution. You ain’t a man if you don’t stand up to corruption. That goes for ANY man. Keep yourself safe, keep updating this blog. If this is all true, this is an intense situation. I pray for you, and all people around the world that have suffered and are currently suffering due to greed and corruption. May the human race change it’s course in the coming decades.

    So to summarize? Each of is following this story because he is a wealthy white man? I believe that is what has lead each of us to this blog…I have stated in previous entries that his behavior is questionable to put is mildly. I am as confused as everyone else, but yes fascinated by the story. I also find it hillarious that one would make accusations as to why I am offering assistance when all of us are reading the blog, some in support some, not so much. I have my own fortune that I have worked very hard for, and no his life style does not appeal to me in the least. I do however think the corruption in all third world countries needs be addressed and I will voice my opinion for anyone that is being targeted or treated unfairly. John built his his empire in Ca. Which is where I am from. John McAfee is a household name here and that may be why this story is so intriguing. I don’t need a job, I don’t need money, I am blessed to have a great family and my health. My point is, if even a portion of this story is true, we should all be doing anything we can to stop these corrupt government’s in every third world country. These are countries that count on US and Canadian citizen’s for local tourism dollar’s. why the hell would any of us risk our lives to travel to a country that wants to rob us or worse? The Mayan Riviera has always been my favorite place to travel, until we were ripped off $600 at a local gas station. Thank god we only lost money, but it was a lesson learned. I have the questions everyone else has, but I do not believe he murdered Mr. Faull and that is why I am following the story and supporting John McAfee. I would be following any other story of this caliber that has received national attention. The problem is sadly, we don’t hear about the others. Which is why I say John is genius to publicize his story…

    To anyone who has spent any time in a third world country, this story is as old as the hills. It is the same everywhere and every man who tells it tries to make himself appear different from all the others. Maybe he was writing a story about Mennonites, sure, but I doubt that is the only reason he was in a girly bar. The funny thing is, I’m not even against men frequenting these types of bars, I just think it is absurd when they act like they’re above it and different.

    Women are women, but if we’re talking the kind of women John is likely going for (bar girls, poor ones from rural NE), then no, not really that special. He’d be better off in Cambodia. But of course, bar girls are pretty much the same in all third world countries, so it really just comes down to your ethnic preference.

    Thank you for sharing this blog with the world. Belize has some serious systemic problems. I can be very frustrating to live here at times and see how much raw potential this wonderful jewel has to offer. The corruption and cronyism is so prevalent the only solution I see is an Iceland style revolution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-SiYQ8s_6I

    “Not all women WANT empowerment”?? They want MANLY men to take care of them??

    Yeah, but they’re trading their sexuality & their power for MONEY, aka” being taken care of”. I love “manly men”, but I also have a brain & could never be satisfied with not using it. I just find so much wrong with your statement, but I’d better not share it here. The ONLY family here, is one 67 year old man & 7 girls 20 & younger, along with caretakers who are actually PAID to “take care of the house”. So, exactly what are these unempowered girls doing?? Well, taking care of their manly man. This isn’t Victorian England, my dear.

    I will agree that in the villages things are quite different, I should have stated that up front. I also have many friends Kriol and Mestizo all over Belize and they are some of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. Belize City is quite different, I have been falsely arrested, refused service and outright called names just for being white. Belize has some real problems with race, constant tensions between Kriol and Mestizo in Belize city often end up in shootings and other violence. A friend of mine was beaten to within an inch of his life for being Mestizo in the wrong ghetto in the south side.

    This has been a fascinating story. John, you are clearly a brilliant man.
    I enjoyed reading Stuffmonger. I read the entire thread. It was addictive reading. It sure didn’t sound like a joke to me. It sounds like you mastered the tan pv and it became a high demand drug. You obviously shared it with a lot of people. You must have had some wild parties! I’m not criticizing you in any way. You ARE a chemist and you mastered this recipe. I really know nothing about it except what i learned from the thread but I think you’ve inspired the curiosity of many other chemists to create a new sexual drug for both men and women. But it may be a tough nut to crack to remove the paranoia and euphoria. But on the flip side, it does sound like the unperfected white pv can cause some serious hallucinations which could have caused anybody in the neighborhood to lose it and go off the deep end.
    Regardless, I wish you the best, and I hope this mystery gets solved.

    I actually feel sorry for you. You have alienated you rich neighbours in Mta Grande. You exploit teenage prostitutes. You live in a compound and brag about making and distributing drugs in public forums. You bribe officials and then complain about corruption. People will not remember you for your accomplishments but rather the irresponsible self serving behaviour and insanity. Your actions at the end of your life will negate eveything you have ever accomplished. Just another flawed genius who sadly lost his way and ended badly. In the end everthing you have accomplished will be moot.

    Let me start by first saying that I love Belize. There are many wonderful people that make up this jewel on the Caribbean. However, I have to say many things you are saying about Belize is true. First and foremost is that most Kriol people in Belize hate Caucasian people and Americans the most. I partially understand this by watching the way most American visitors to Belize treat the locals. Most Americans are very condescending, demeaning and foul to Belizean people when they are visiting. Most of us who have decided to live in Belize however do not have this prejudice against Belizeans. The police in Belize are incompetent, corrupt and ignorant. I myself have been singled out at a roadblock coming into Belize on the western highway and detained for 14 hours. When my brother in law called to find out where I was they would not tell him. Finally they told him that I was being held fro possession of cocaine. I can tell you I have never been in possession of cocaine in my life. My real crime was having the audacity to ask why I was being singled out (driving while white). Finally my wife was able to get a lawyer and find out where I was being held. In the end I was released with no chargers after I was forced to apologize at the request of the commissioner to the officer for questioning his integrity (there was no question, no integrity). As we exited the lawyer scornfully told me never to question the police in Belize. “This is not America, you are guilty until proven innocent. The police can fabricate any evidence they want to ensure you are guilty.” Sorry for the rambling I just wanted to give some background to my next statement. I believe you John all of your story, the corruption here is unfathomable to those who have not been shaken by it. I feel sorry for the people of Belize for having to live daily with gang violence and police corruption/ incompetence. The biggest gang in the country being the UDP being led by their PM. I hope you make it out alive. Cheers

    I believe he said she was in school now, so that’s certainly a start. On the other hand, not ALL women want empowerment. Some women are happy with the fact their man is MANLY and providing for them…out working while they stay at home and take care of the house and family. And whether he’s sleeping with them or not, well that’s their business. I think this was a very interesting read and I will continue to pray for you and your friends…and the family who suffered such a horrible loss.

They offer to help in any way that they can…even if it incriminates them as well. It’s no doubt a story unto itself. People in here still don’t know the real story…yet they are offering you safe harbor. There’s no rest for the wicked. I truly hope that you’re not implicated in this murder at all. Maybe it truly is some government conspiracy to punish you for not donating to their cause. Maybe one day you will be able to go back to your hedonistic ways and this will be some laughable memory. I just don’t see this story having a happy ending. Even if the drug lords are providing you protection and safety…eventually they will turn you over to the highest bidder…after they’ve squeezed what they can get out of you. Why is it the ones who have the most end up squandering it all away?

    John,

    The more and more I read about you…the more and more I think you are totally whacked out of your skull. Now I see why you don’t want to stand in front of a jury! Sex is a common theme across everything you do…that and the quest to create hyper sexual drugs. Sex with 5 women…possibly dogs (which would explain the killing of the dogs). There’s no doubt that this will make a crazy movie one day when the full story actually does come out. What really happened is what we all want to know. Were you hallucinating on Tan Minus and decided to put one in the head of your nearest neighbor? It’s either drugs or sex related. Wasn’t Yoga enough for you to find inner-peace? Did you have to resort to drugs and women? Why out all of your friends now? Don’t you need them? You will. I really think this is going to end bad for you in a country where you are increasingly making new enemies with every post. You want sympathy…but your own words in “The Crazy Secret Journal of John McAfee” makes it seem like the girls you are now claiming to have helped..were just victimized even more for your own sexual gratification. They went from the stove into the frying pan by trusting you. As a man, I wonder if I would do anything different with endless amounts of money and sexy women jumping into my bed at command. The irony is that you went from a virtual antivirus king…to creating a company who develops antibiotics to cure real viruses…or psycho sexual hallucinogens. I bet you throw one hell of a party!

    John, hello. I also don’t watch the tv news, but had your software for a year or so then changed providers and moved. I also think you need to get out of there. Once you are gone and they probably will sense it they will let your friends go. They captured them to keep you around probably. Just fly out of there. No one knows how to mount an attack against corruption like this. I need to tell you God will help you if you turn to Him. He will take you as you are, right this second and help you. He loves you and doesn’t want this injustice to take over in your life. Repent for your sins and just get out of there. I think your sins allowed this trap to be set. Maybe you are trying to punish yourself for your sins. Jesus took the punishment for your sins on the Cross and wants to set you free. These men are full of devils and you need to just GET OUT OF THERE! We all love you. Your story has caught our hearts. Please don’t let them take you by being stubborn!

    Don’t get stuck up on the idea of remaining in Belize since I truly believe you will be buried there if you remain.
    The government is being ridiculed internationally by your escape and evades tactics so they will get you soon. All your known associates are being rounded up as we speak and they are being interrogated under the influence of Sodium Pentothal which is being injected into them before questioning starts. I know this from a top official in the GSU and also from a courier company official who has seen dozens of boxes of the truth serum being unloaded at Belize airport.
    The time to run is now, since within the next 24 hours they will get you if you are around.

    Such a shame that the Bar doesn’t try to “help” the girls or try to do something to ease the struggle in a way. One example is instead of getting them beer the bar could offer them water in the beer bottle,Clients would be oblivious and the girls can avoid health issues and trouble.
    Instead of helping getting these girls drunk and risk causing them additional issues in life like alcoholism or worst. The damage these poor girls must be doing to their body for such chump change is sickening.

    I will try to make this my last post, but it needs to be said. First of all, this story has nothing to do with the murder or why you are hiding from the police. Are you a good man? I have no idea.

    But Tamesha’s story is being repeated all over the world, every minute of every day, in rich countries, poor countries, ALL countries.

    A very brief example to denote my point. I was born to a very wealthy, very well-known & respected family. My grandfather was a legend in banking. But, guess what, I suffered every kind of abuse imaginable, everything except physical abuse (although some from my brother). My childhood makes The Prince of Tides look like a fairy tale. So, female abuse, both sexual, physical, & emotional is everywhere. It is rampant throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa…. Every nation, including Belize.

    I just feel that women need empowerment, to know that they do not need a man to take care of them. To know that they do not need to sleep with a man to get what they want, to have a good life. If you were “helping” these women WITHOUT sleeping with them, even if they wanted to do so, then I’d say, “great job”. I just cannot under these circumstances.

    I promise you that if I were dirt poor with no prospect of ever escaping from poverty & grew up in similar conditions, I would have no qualms about sleeping with someone 50 years older than I. You are attractive, you are fun & young at heart, but most importantly you represent security, something they’ve never had. But you are not empowering them by repeating the same message. That they must have a “relationship” with a man, to get what they need & they are all scrambling to be your #1. It makes me very sad. Give them the tools to better themselves, then walk away & let them fly on their own wings. Be responsible & if you really care about them, then don’t make sex a part of it or it becomes completely meaningless.

    I do applaud you for your interest in the young girls of Belize & their plight, which is wretched. Unfortunately, the fact that you have slept with all, or at least most of them, kind of convolutes the entire message. I am not judging you whatsoever, just stating the facts.

    Would your message not have more meaning & impact if you had bought some land, hired workers who badly need it, to build housing, a school, to provide information & education, giving them a fresh start in life, without having to rely on you to get it? I guarantee that people of the internet world would donate money & time to such a cause & respect you alot more, especially as so many more would be helped, & others would be inspired to follow your lead, & your name would be synonymous with helping young girls to help themselves, rather than what it now seems to many, which is a way for you to be surrounded by young girls who share your bed.

    So frustrated. I wish you would just clear your name, instead of making this a platform. It is just not the right time or place.

    Brilliant comeback. My thoughts exactly. John was marked for a robbery, so they tried to kill all of his dogs with poison the night before. If John did actually see the boat with men offloading on a dock next door, this is what they were up to. But they come back the next night & there are more dogs, so they go to the next house where someone is home, John Faull. No dogs, they gain entry, murder him, & steal what’s valuable-a laptop & a cellphone. Who knows if there was money missing. Probably so.

    So the police are alerted, process the crime scene, then go to talk to the neighbors. But John thinks they are after “him” & starts this insane cat & mouse game, which has REALLY put a target on his back & most likely the GSU AND the government are really after him now.

    I do not believe that they suspected him of anything until he started running from them. This is why they waited so long to figure up the dogs, because they weren’t even considering him for the crime until…. All of this.

    The reward was a very good idea, but I think the robbers were from the mainland & came to rob the rich white man by boat, which correlates perfectly with what you said you saw, John. It could very well be some of the gang members that you are acquainted with & if I were hours, I’d put out a lot of feelers around the gang areas & raise the reward to about $20,000 USD & guarantee some anonymity. That’s your problem. People are scared to “death” of testifying against any of them, which is how the gangster who was just killed (name escapes me right now), got away with murder last time. In court the witness refused to testify & said she remembered nothing.

    Sadly, they have absolutely no evidence against you & you have a firm alibi substantuated by many witnesses, yet you continue to play this ridiculous game. I really do not see how it is benefiting anyone other than yourself & your friends are only being held because you are refusing to speak with the police & answer their questions. It makes it look as if you ARE guilty & by default, the people who work for you, MUST know something. What a complete shame. Please take some responsibility for their being held as material witnesses, because you refuse to come forward. Please see this as a planned robbery of the rich people of the north end by robbers from the island or the mainland, & nothing else, or at least think about it

    My congratulations to this colorful story!

    The Mennonites agree in publishing their photos of being in a whore house…
    The prostitute doesn’t provide the services the customers paid for…
    The youth services take children without any reason…

    But it must be some other Belize, not the one I am living in since more than 10 years. Where I live the Mennonites avoid public attention, the prostitutes have to work for their money, the family court will withdraw custody from the mother only in severe cases. And I never got harassed by the police.

    It looks to me that you have to glorify this lady because you can’t admit that you surround yourself with young prostitutes. God bless, only the Lord seems to be able to help you.

If Jesus were here today I guess that is what he would tell you.~ just a thought

    The way I see it this story will end in one of three ways: You are charged with murder and go to jail in Haitiville, you are deported from Belize, or you end up dead. No matter what the 7 “girlfriends” lose. They lose their meal ticket and return to a life of prostitution in search of another rich American gringo. They have the rest of their lives ahead of them and they and their offspring will suffer for decades. The cycle will continue for generations. For you it is a brief hedonistic fling. They are disposable and easily replaced. I have spent time in Belize and on Ambergrise too. I know that most Belizeans are hardworking and religious. Most kids attend parochial schools and are taught that prostitution is a sin. Their parents do not offer them to the highest bidder. The rate of aids is very high in Belize. You are deluding yourself. You are no different than any other sex tourist in Central america or Thailand or any other poor country. You are in fact no different from any other man who takes a bar girl home. Being in an unequal relationship with a poor teenager is sexual exploitation no matter how you try to sugar coat it. The best thing you could do if you want to clear your conscience is set up a trust fund for the 7 teenagers in your stable so that they can get an education, a career and hopefully get out of “the life” you have enabled. You are kidding yourself if you think this is about anything except self-gratification. There are many wealthy single women on Ambergrise and throughout Belize. You could choose to have an adult relationship with a woman who is your social and financial equal and who is your age. The fact is you choose to sexually exploit poor girls in a third world country. Get off your high horse!

    Sex is not a factor in the murder accusations plain and simple. I mean he isn’t being accused of murdering this man because he slept with one if John’s girlfriends.

I too have a blog about my ordeal. Just like the MAC. Unlike the MAC-1) I am black. 2) I am poor. 3) No one is reading my blog.

Be careful who you conduct random interviews with, is the only advise I can offer. I will never understand the path you chose, but at this point it’s neither here nor there. I guess my minds keeps coming back to, you could have made a home anywhere and you chose a third world country and still call it home after all the events that you state have happened. That I just dont get? I did read previous blog entries but it still makes no sense why you would want to be there. If this is there way of life and the PM has it in for you… What’s the point? Your 67 years old, built an empire that most envy, this is when you should be enjoying life, not forced to have armed guards and then ultimately be a prime suspect in a murder case…. I am a very intelligent business woman and wish I could have accomplished a quarter of what you have… Again if there is anything I can personally do to help aside from mailing congress etc.. Please let me know. I’m sure people are coming out ofvthevwood works to offer assistance, but for some reason I have really become consumed with this story and I don’t even watch the news lol.
