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 exif data attached to each, the exif data attached to the lowest layer is the data that gets attached to the entire montage.  Frequently I apply a base layer underneath a photo with the top photo having an opacity less than 100% in order to brighten, dim, color or otherwise improve the looks of a photo.  I create the underlayer by photographing a blank wall, a floor or any other uniform body that I deem will give the effects that I want.   I am travelling and shoot whatever is around me that works.  You can try this in Photoshop, for example, and check the exif data of the end product if you doubt any of it. For example, the following two photos have been shown very early on in this blog (last year), and in one, I am obviously still in Belize, since I am with Sam and Amy.  The other was taken in September by Chad when he visited Belize.  Yet the exif data shows January 16th of this year 0n both of them.  This happened because I overlaid the photos on top of two separate photos taken on January 16th by my Sony camera, used 100% opacity – so that you can compare to see that they are in fact the same photos as those published previously, and then cropped it:

Example

Check the exif data (those of you complaining about the exif data) and see for yourselves. I do not like having to explain these things just because some of you are looking for anything – anything at all – to prove I am being deceptive.  I am hugely busy and this distracts from my work immensely.  If you want to keep looking for things that I do wrong then please do a little more research into your subject before you jump to conclusions.  There are in fact many of hundreds of reasons why exif data for a given photo is not indicative in any way of the date in which a photo was taken — not least of which is that any idiot can change the date and time on the camera to any date and time that they choose and then take a picture.  The users chosen date will show up in the exif data.  This is why I ignored your complaints at first. I am not an idiot.  If I wanted to decieve you, I would purposely have changed the camera date, or done any one of a hundred other trivial things to pre-date a current photo.  Could you possibly think that I am unaware of exif data?  I am too busy to waste time in deception.  I do what I do, if you don’t like the exif data, then at least give me the benefit of the doubt by considering the limitless possibilities why the data is not the data you wanted.  It is too time consuming to satisfy those few of you who insist on trying trying to find holes.  From the majority remainder of you, please ignore this rant. The second issue is Amy’s description of the brown powder I was making.  Please read my extremely detailed Bluelight discussion early on in this blog.  If you read the actual Bluelight posts, you will see hundreds of photos that I submitted about making this impossibly mythical drug – Tan-MDPV.  I obviously had to do something to create authentic looking substances.  The following blog question and my answer should suffice for all of you. Read the Bluelight post!!!! There were hundreds of photos I posted of the “impossible” process. Where was I going to get the photos????? I did them myself. Amy helped me. There were brown substances, white substances, clear substances, cloudy substances. Burnt baking soda – Acetone and sugar from the lab – dozens of substances to make it look real. Amy is bright but clueless. I always told her the stuff was poison (most probably was) and not to put them in her mouth (which she did with almost everything – like a two year old). How can you talk about something (Bluelight) when you have never read the full posting on Bluelight (400 pages)? If you want to post any more negative stuff about something you have never read, seen, or know nothing about, then at least read it first. So no, I have nothing more to add. There is nothing to add, and there is not now, nor has there ever been, a discrepancy. The third item is the comments about the capacity of the recording devices that were used.  It is not rocket science.  The replacement of an ultra-cheap Chinese battery with a high capacity lithium battery (plenty of vacant room in these devices) and the replacement of a 2 gig micro SD card with a 32 gig micro SD card (which a mentally impaired six year old could do) does wonders to the amount a time a device will record.  Two of the devices supported 64 gig cards.  Software glitches limited the remainder to 32 gigs.  There are many other modifications that we made that I did not, and will not, tell you about.  But, again, a small child could quickly look and any one of these devices and make a dozen simple changes that would improve the device by an order of magnitude in ten minutes and for a cost of less than $30.  Please, naysayers, use your heads. Again, I am sorry for my testiness, but a tiny fraction of followers here create 95% of the problems, and 95% of my work, by trying to create issues over absolute nonsense, or try to incessantly resurrect  issues that have been put to bed many times.  These users are either doing this out of malice or out of ignorance.  Anyone who had read the Bluelight posts on the Bluelight board would not ask the questions that have been asked.  Anyone who knew anything at all about exif data knows that the data is absolutely meaningless if someone wants a different date, time or location.  If you few folks are not doing this maliciously, then please use your head and think a little before you post inflamatory statements.  If you are doing it maliciously, your I.P. address will eventually be banned. Thank you. P.S.  A plug for the upcoming movie: IMPACT FUTURE MEDIA

  1. Bet you wish you had a conversation with rocco from vice about exif data when you were on the run… right?

  2. you weren’t 😉

  3. Good question. I was surprised it took so long for one to ask it. I believe JM didn’t know Mr. Faull very well and assumed he had dogs and spoke of dogs in the heat of the moment. Though he assumed one thing and said another is expected when one is in the situation he was in. Folks tend to ‘panic’ in such a situation. I could understand. Perhaps you could to as everyone has assumptions about the situation at hand they may not be reality. I looked past this for this reason. Anyhow, good eye. The raid on JM’s property took place during the rain at night when shots were less likely to be heard. JM learned from this ‘I suppose’ and chose to move at night to avoid inspection at the checkpoints…..due to rain. This was another ‘question’ that came up in my investigation into the matter though this is only an assumption at this point, not fact. This case has a special interest to myself for reasons that…..should remain shhh. Perhaps some may understand more at a later date. Perhaps not. Either way, justice has it’s way of setting ‘things’ Right. Ultimately, one can never hide from the truth. The trooth is has a way of catching up with itself for all the right reasons. L8ter folks.
    🙂

  4. That you really did not know him as you have been saying all along. More proof for the naysayers. 🙂

    Excuse me if I misunderstood
    I thought Urecommened Media was admin the blog .they are an established PR firm and should be adept at this
    If it is just Chad, then I totally understand he is overwhelmed, and I aploogize . I know he is doing the best he knows how…This is not his area of expertise .. He is an artist extrodenaire
    Sorry if I was I am being unreasonable

  6. I don’t understand what it speaks to…

  7. ‘Nuff said. Just go forward from here with an open mind, and maybe an edit before posting… 😉

  8. I would like to think that a US Senator would employ staff who are god at researching an issue. However, look at how poorly the media has done their research….
    .
    Also, unfortunately, there are at least two other logs out there claiming to be John’s story. One of them is basically reposts with a little bit of opinion sprinkled in. The other one I know of is very negative and twisted. It’s author comments on quite a few of the media stories trying t get traffic.
    .
    I think this blog is still evolving. Chad has done a great job with it considering he is not a Web UI specialist. i did offer early on to help out if he needed it, and that offer still stands 🙂

  9. So then I remembered correctly, and JM did think GF had dogs, which speaks to his relationship with GF also. 🙂

  10. Early on in this adventure, John stated that he did not believe that Mr. Faull had POISONED his dogs. Let’s be very clear with our words, John’s dogs were poisoned and he, himself, had to put down 4 of them because they were in misery.
    .
    John did say that Mr.Faull was an animal lover. He also did say, on the Joe Rogan interview I think, that Mr.Faull had dogs and that a dog owner could not have done such a thing.
    .
    In many comments here and elsewhere, people have said that Belize has many stray dogs and that dogs are poisoned all the time. It would be a reasonable assumption that Mr. Faull also owned dogs if your perception was that everyone in Belize has dogs.
    .
    When interviewed shortly after the murder, Mr. Faull’s parents ahd said that they had never heard of John McAfee or about his dogs. During this same time, the other ex-pats were not speculating about the poisoned dogs much. It was clear many of the neighbors didn’t like John, his dogs and his guards.
    .
    The statement that dogs don’t get along with birds is generally inaccurate. It depends on the dog and the bird.

    John didn’t “get it wrong” with Greg Faull. Greg Faull wasn’t even on John’s radar until he was found dead. This is just further proof that John barely knew Greg.

  11. Apology accepted because I choose to see the good in people.
    .
    I don’t think the banning was a result of you being simply “negative”. John lets quite a bit through, contrary to what some people may think.

  12. Ok, LOL….at risk of being accused of stalking you, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, I concur!
    If Senator Nelson (or anyone new seeking the real story) comes here looking for solid information about Belize, I fear he will read the ramblings of a few die hards long before finding the solid links to the crime and corruption we all know exists. Being one who has done some homework too, it irks me to think how easily people could discount John and this blog’s message simply because navigation to concrete proof is so difficult to find. {@_@}

  13. BB&B thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed this interview for a change. Glad to hear Chad’s point of view. I got a chuckle about what his wife said, I can relate 😉

    Ok , I said it nicely, now I’m going to be more direct. I find it perplexing how inefficiently this blog is being run. The bloggers have mostly been supplying the news links, not Urecommend Media which is supposedly a prime marketing and PR firm.
    There are no news article archives for reference, few advance promo for upcoming (the alex jones fiasco) some of your links dont work, no bullet point info for research,so much valuable info is buried in the miles of posts and comments, especially for newcomers…we get lost sometimes with no cross reference, the blog is left abandoned for days at a time….
    There are so many more bells and whistles you could add that would make research for us,news agencies , and others wanting to know the Truth of It.
    Maybe I’m missing the point but you asked us to take this seriously, and many have done their homework .Even the other less authentic McAfee wannabe websites sprouting up do a better job with a better format
    .”. Who is McAfee ” should surely set the bar for state of the art technology don’t you think? His name is McAfee, after all, and we expect more from this. Urecommend Media have received great benefit from your association with McAfee , it would seem you would want this blog to be the”the best on the planet”,with all do respect Maybe as I suggested in an earlier post, this blog will soon be abandoned freeware , and then bought in another format , so this is a mute point… But in the meantime,can’t we be more user friendly?
    If I am wrong and Mcafee is just “setting the table” as he said, and more revealing , shocking information appears on the blog, it will blow up, and you are obviously unprepared
    Mcafee can’t do it all, he his busy living the life we are so fascinated with, for the good and the bad. Help us out here, please
    ( Btw, I too, love Chad’s newest drawing..it’s a nice addition, thank you )

  15. i wish it was something petty but i actually recieved death threats (for the first time in my life) and it spooked me out. they were sent to my email from anonymous addresses but based on the wording, they seemed to be from either family/friends of mr.faull or people who hate john. But you are right i did have a little bit of a negetive phase in my posts here and i sincerly apologize for that as i can assure you im not a negetive person in real life and i hardly ever insult someone or treat people in a way i wouldnt want to be treated and i think its fake to act differant online then you would in real life so i do my best not to. in the end i have nothing but good intentions and have alot of love and empathy for all people, even those who hate me. I see such good qualities in john as a person and the way hes handled adversity and its really made me think about my own life and how i deal with life and adversity. I really wish i could just shoot the shit with john for a day…..i think hed make an excellant teacher or professor and i hope he shares his knowledge and experiences with the world because too many great minds never get a chance to. Plus at his age, time is not on his side.

  16. Robert, I don’t think the negative attention came from ‘simply’ posting. Someone calling you a name may be childish, but your comments over the last week lack maturity as well. Having someone search your personal information (however right or wrong the outcome) is unfortunately, just collateral damage for posting your address (here) on a blog for anyone to see. It’s a shame, and personally I hope any inconveniences will be minimal for you (it’s a hard way to learn something).
    When it comes right down to it, I can’t see anyone taking the time to really bother you, and that’s a POSITIVE thing 🙂

  17. Connie, I know I would have a hard time believing a ‘civilized’ neighbor could do something so disgusting, I wonder if that’s where his mind went to when determining that possibility? Also, somewhere, along with JM’s statement ” he was a dog lover”, I recall him saying GF had dogs. So either I’m mistaken in that recollection (SL will catch it anyway) lol, or it provides more evidence of what John’s been saying all along…..he really didn’t know much about Greg. Hmmmm……..

  18. fluffer nutters 😉

  19. thank you 🙂

  20. are you retarded? putting you address on a public forum…god, I have to shake my head if thats your real address

  21. I lived in Belize back in 1990 to 1993. I lived in Belize City on North Front Street and I can attest to what much of you are saying. I too was intoxicated by Belizes landscape and still am But what remains with me the most were the weekly attempted robberies on my home. Being shaken down by the police for cash, seeing white american tourist being beaten and robbed in Belize City. Back then it was the crack capital of Central America, the fishermen would go and bring back the bails of coke thrown out of airplanes when being chased. I was planning on a move there next year but have decided not to because of the gang violence. Panama looks better. Good Luck to you sir.

  22. BTW, here is the youtube video for John’s AeroTrekker:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaBwb28pUG8

  23. John, thanks for the explanation about the photographs. But you shouldn’t worry so much about the nit pickers.

    That thing with with flying motorcycles is really cool! Are they still available? I would like to see a gyrocopter version of that.

    There definitely has to be a scene in the up coming movie of someone flying one of those flying motorcycles! That is sooo James Bond! 🙂

  24. Thank you <3<3

  25. John
    I hope you continue with your blog concerning your investigation. I am sure you are very busy with multiple irons in the fire. As a “silent blogger” I am enjoying reading about your journey ans can hardly wait for your next blog. I have been reading back over the beginning and can see a part of the puzzle coming together. Thank you for allowing me a front row seat. Please continue with your story. I would love to continue reading……

    Well, Mr. McAfee – I have tried that everything is web driven now – every HR department will direct you to their website. if you ever need a guy like myself for anything to help your cause -I’m located in the Washington DC area.

    Keep your head up !

  27. @Brian D. LOL, and imagine we allow your kind to come here and post such nonsense. Welcome aboard buddy kick back, relax participate if you like or don’t and enjoy!

  28. biased towards the “clique”?
    I don’t think I have ever been in a clique.
    .
    You see the same names because we have been following this blog since it’s beginning. We do not all share the same opinions, and I don’t think we are in some kind of groupthink mode. I feel that as a sum we are all part of something bigger than each of us. We post to share our thoughts and opinions. We post to show our support for John.
    .
    This is the place where you will get the real story. I am amazed at how wrong the media has gotten some of the basic facts.
    .
    Reading this blog, and the comments are an option. I don’t know why you feel the need to be insulting.

  29. Why does moderation take this long ?

  30. John, do you have no comment to my question. Maybe others have some .

  31. who you callin’ old? lmao
    Join in the conversation Brian, it would be great to have some more intelligent opinions on the information JM is giving.
    If it seems biased, it’s likely because however unfortunate, those who disagreed were not capable of expressing it without being hateful too. There’s always room for a different opinion as long as it’s without venom~which only serves to mask the intended meaning and render it un-digestible.

  32. John,

    I wish I could quit my job and join your crew!
    We’re all given our own unique gifts and talents. You embrace yours and you are comfortable in your own skin. People spend their lives searching for things they don’t have instead of accepting who they are. Thanks for sharing your story…and I hope to one day be comfortable in my own skin just as you are my friend…respectively.
    Be well……….Ray Sokolowski

  33. Mr. McAfee do you have an update on the girls?
    Don’t you feel worried about putting their pictures on your site? What if you can’t sell your comic book and they don’t have money? They might get mad.

  34. John,

    I wish I could quit my job and join your crew. It’s very refreshing to know that there are some people remaining on this earth that know how to truly enjoy life. We are all unique and possess wonderful gifts and talents. Most people don’t use what they are given and end up searching their entire lives to fulfill what they think they need. My point…John…you embrace what you’re given. I truly respect you and thank you for sharing your life experiences with us because you certainly don’t have too. I hope to one day be as comfortable in my own skin as you are my friend…respectively.
    Be Well…….Ray S.

  35. Just scanning over these comments and the same names keep appearing like sime sort of geriatric social club.
    Im all for fair discussion but this all seems a bit biased toward the ‘clique’

    NBC Bay Area News ( KNTV) Interview with John McAfee and Raj Mathai is postponed until tomorrow night 1/26. 6P.M. Pacific time.
    No live feed but will post it later on their website.

    McAfee is on NBC Bay area News today

    http://firstpost.com/topic/organization/nbc-nbc-bay-area-news-the-interview-john-mcafee-january-25-video-5NFv8xeNsBQ-215-1.html

    It would be helpful if the webmaster on this Blog could alert us beforehand of any press
    interviews. It would also be helpful to have a list and link of the interviews done thus far for easy reference. You must be overwhelmed, but if possible it would be appreciated

  39. WEB, you are a wonderful diplomat. (compliment btw) I also wait anxiously for the “Sam” update 🙂

  40. I can imagine. 🙂 How is Sam? It’s been a long time since we heard from her. Sometimes if you’re away from the blog for a while, I think “maybe today he’ll come on and tell us she’s in Portland”. But not so far….. 🙁 Is there any update you can provide to us, the ‘Sammy’ fans?

    JM talked only a few minutes in the KBOO radio interview.. but if I understood correctly , he stated his intent concisely.
    1. Belize Paradise Lost , there is the other side of Paradise that is invisible to the eye and not on the Tourist Trail. Belizeit.
    He wants to bring that underbelly and duality to light .
    2. He sincerely believes that there is a Clear and Present Danger to the US , with the information he stumbled upon doing his “social engineering ” caper .
    He feels that this should be addressed , of course the US is aware of the cartel trail and is not talking for whatever the reason Why

    I agree with the earlier poster , the helpfulness of A statement of intent by McAfee as to the purpose of this Blog, so that we do not stray format or the topic at hand
    That is tricky … because intention is a fluid thing. Intention would change as to the circumstance of life .
    His original Intent , get he and those he holds most dear to safety… done
    then….All eyes upon him, what he says and does….for his own survival and to expose the Powers that Be.. done and doing
    then : Movie, Books, Life Story Projects …done and doing
    Who is John McAfee has used his most valuable commodity ..himself, and his life and times ,to shine a light. Say what you will, its been an interesting Life to be Told .
    I say that is pretty efficient work for a man who is 67, has been on the run, with little sleep, giving it is ALL. for the plast year and beyond when the saga began. He just “keeps on going keeping on” , laughing all the way .
    He appears not to be an idle man. JM said in the interview that he needs to keep busy or he gets is trouble, or.. more trouble.
    His name is, Mc Afee after all. I “think” I like him better all the time. I might just be beginning to …get it .

    Just listened to the interview on KBOO live stream.
    It was Purrfect . Chad you were amazing ..so eloquent clear, and concise
    I hope you will be putting this interview on the this website . Here is the link , it will be in their archives.
    Portalnd / http://kboo.fm/ . (Great radio station, music is HOT, Im dancing as listening and writing this post )
    don’t you love the name KBOO? so appropriate to the Mystery unfolding.

    In the interview, Chad explains their newest adventure and “Winning” with the Hinterland and its many possibilities of as a Animated Anime, graphic, “Moving Art”
    I loved the comments about the polarities with you new partner. JM ,at the extreme of wild and crazy, Chad, offering stability and Sanity.. yet they can dance and play laugh from the opposite experience and dualities of Life. Opposites do attract, its a scientific fact.

    So funny about Chad’s comment that the ” Girls” in the compound in Belize, ” play “Call Me Maybe” all thru the night .” The lyrics so appropriate to their circumstance in life
    http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/glee-cast-lyrics/call-me-maybe-lyrics.html.
    so enjoyed Your story about “Observational Yoga” prank and that the neighbor’s complaints about the constant noise as being unfounded ” there was not a lot of noise to Make ”

    well done, Chad:
    I love the graphics of each Post, they are so cleaver. who does these? Perhaps? Chad, could offer one of your drawings from time to time? as illustration of a JM Post . or is that giving it away… McAfee is all about giving it away…at first .

  43. Hey John… suggest we contact at a somewhat discreet level. I lived in BZ for 6 yrs. I currently have 2 Supreme Court cases going… I have proof of Customs fraud. …business Registration fraud…. Transport and Licensing fraud(s)…. police complicity in theft and embezzelment… to say nothing of Social Services/GST etc… there is much…and like you found the GSU to be a fearsome crew and operating independantly… they I believe are the enforcement unit for the drug squad that runs the country NOW. Really to bad….Belize is an extraorinarly beautiful geographic location… just totally now lost to crime at it’s worst. Last time my wife and I were there a young man was ambushed at high noon in front of a school yard…shot dead in front of us… then the “mysterious” killing of the george St 4… and to make it all so poinyent(?) the non-guilty verdict of the 6 senior police officers who were caught red-handed with 2 Tons of coke…right

    Hi John, first time posting a comment but couldn’t help myself. I would like to know if you are seriously entertaining offers for an autographed picture? I am a huge fan and have been following your story since day 1. I am particularly a fan of how you disguised yourself (shoved tissue up one nostril to distort it) and was selling wood carvings to the media members right outside your compound. Genius! Also intrigued by your how to guide of getting through checkpoints in third world countries. Anyhow, enough kiss up, I will definitely support the movie/books (can’t wait!!) and hope to hear back on how I can get you my address without posting here. Thanks sir, G

  46. I don’t do drugs.
    .
    Drugs are bad mmmkay.
    .
    The whole Bath Salts thing is such a non-issue but our irresponsible media just love being able to report on sex, drugs and guns. If John really was as wild as they would like to have you think, he would not look as good as he does. He would be haggard, toothless and probably not be able to utter a coherant sentence.

  47. Hey John, have you heard anything about the up coming WIKILEAKS FILM. JULIAN THINKS IT’S FILL OF LIES AND PROPAGANDA. HOPE YOUR FILM WILL BE STRAIGHT. IT’S GOOD THAT YOURS WILL BE AN INDIE.

  48. i wasnt aware the amount of negetive attention i would recieve as a result of simply posting here so i will no longer continue to. I would only like to state my personal stance on this entire story (if john will allow me to) and that will be it for me. I have nothing but respect for mr.faulls family and hope as much as anyone that whoever killed him is found. as far as the bluelight thing being a hoax, i believe it was real. as far as john killing his neighbor i really dont know what to think but i believe he or someone he knows…… knows something about it. i certainly may be wrong, i mean no offence to anyone and wish peace to everyone. thats it for me, may truth and justice prevail. -Robert Gemerek

  49. John,
    I previously posted sometime ago my opinion that you are in a very unique position and, perhaps, the right individual, to lead the awareness of corruption throughout the world. I live in one of the best places on the planet, Canada, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t a bunch of rotten apples on the cart.

    Are you interested in leading this “revolution” or just hammering out a movie and book deal then calling it a day.

    My best regards to you, Mr. McAfee!

  50. no, thank you ; )

  51. true, and for what its worth, i apologize for being rude to you (SL) awhile back. i ended up getting my ip banned for my negetivity and im not like that in real life so just want to apologize.

  52. Hey John,
    I gotta ask ya something that has been bugging the crap out of me. How were you so off on Gregory Faull? I mean you said on numerous occasions that he didn’t kill your dogs. Almost knowingly. Then the dateline interview everyone said he did kill the dogs. You said he was a dog lover. Everyone else said he hated dogs. Dogs don’t get along with birds they said. I can’t make the puzzle fit of how you got it so wrong or did you?

  53. I like fluff on this board. (But I also like Marshmellow Fluff, so good, and Black Sabbath’s song fluff, and pillows that are fluffed). “What is a world without humor?” Lighten up my friend, pardon the pun 🙂

  54. I kinda like the fluff, light airy, humorous at times. (But I like marshmellow fluff too so good and Black Sabbath’s song “Fluff” and pillows fluffed). As a smart man once said, “what is a world without humor?” Lighten up my friend pardon the pun. 🙂

    Also, on the question aspect, the only dumb question is one that is not asked. Unless you are trying to be malicious and that is a whole other gamut. On this board you have both.

  56. Hello,

    Oh, one thing to mention: I know for obvious reasons you do not want to get into a detailed discussion of hacking digital recording devices, but a bit of a public safety announcement is, I think, in order, for anyone who is thinking about duplicating your feat: Lithium primary battery cells (Li+, LiPo, etc.) are subject to various failure modes that you do not see with conventional carbon-zinc or alkaline type batteries.

    If charged (or discharged) excessively, the lithium battery cell can overheat and rupture, causing it to outgas oxygen. The end result can be a combustion source not unlike a lighter or even a very small toy rocket motor.

    Hydrogen fuel cells should be treated with caution for similar reasons.

  59. We are still living near the garden. My son and I used to run into Judy at the coffee shop before he started going to school and had to give up the leisurely lifestyle. I expressed my support to her during the ordeal, but we haven’t spoken. You have a friend in me. Best Wishes!

  60. Also, a FAQ section is always helpful. Might help slim down the redundancy. Ok, I’m walking away from the suggestion box now. Have a good night all.

  61. Yes, that’s the down side. 😐
    But the upside is that much is being produced at the time as a byproduct of the uranium being used around the world for the purpose of many black projects that use this element as a power source with many other applications currently in use in the aerospace/jpl/underground dumb shelters.

    It’s a sensitive element that has huge potential for the folked in folkland but must be handled with care as with anything valuable.
    That^ was a runonsentence with an end in sight though just out of reach as to one’s minoculars.

    It’s a volatile element with an ancient history. Thought you’d find it interesting anyhow.

    To: SL as per post above, lOl, I’ve read every post on this board as explained in prior post the other day, you must have missed it?
    McAfee’s innocent though I’ve already sent my version of da’truth to an appropriate authority. I’m sure JM is aware by now as it was a fella he interviewed with, which one? Doesn’t really matter. I understand what Mac is going through here in more ways than one could understand. The ineterviewer I just mentioned would understand. It’s a long story and I’d rather to stay to topic; the truth on the JM vs. GOB/UDP saga. It’s become a delicate situation.
    That’s understood.

    I think it’ll work itself out on it’s own from here forward. This is an important case from many angles of which will watched carefully for many good reasons and perhaps a few bad ones.

    I’m here to add whatever I can escribir con ger/ en mano.
    🙂

  63. John, the comments from your old friends never disappoint. It’s heart warming to read one that comes from someone you have known in your LBB (life before Belize), and easy to tell how much they care about you. That you have a history is clearly evidenced by the words they write. And this is not to take away from anyone else who has commented or said kind things, it’s just nice to hear from your old friends. 🙂

  64. Know nothing about it other than it seems to be radioactive and dangerous.

  65. Generally speaking, if you are new to a blog that has a running commentary, you would go back and read the previous posts. Also, you would lurk for a while to get a feel for the community before posting.
    .
    I am really surprised at not only the newer folks who ask questions that could be answered by reading the past posts, but also the existing users who just don’t seem to have the facts right.
    .
    It’s been two months, we are kind of in a lull now…how about we all go back and read the old posts again just to make sure we are all up to speed?

  66. One question for Mr. McAfee.

    Do you have any knowledge of the element Promethium and it’s current/potential f/uses?
    As an inventor who is naturally inclined to ‘create’, I thought you’d find it an interesting field. I rest.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promethium

  67. Closure and Justice for the Faull family lies in the hands of the Belizean government. I think that the Dateline interviews are not current.
    .
    From what I have read, the family is very upset with the pace and status of the investigation.We have heard nothing about how it is going. By now they should have processed the evidence, gotten ballistics, released a coroner’s report…
    .
    John has never been a suspect, they claim they just want to talk to him. Now that he is in the US, they seem to have forgotten all about that. I suspect it is because in order to extradite someone from the US, you need a formal charge and evidence to support it.

  68. I can’t speak for JM though if I was, I’d be annoyed at all the unnecessary, time-consuming fluff commentary on here. As the readership of this blogs increase, naturally there will be more visitors though come now folks, let’s try to stick with the facts here and use the ‘space’ more efficiently. Time is precious and fleeting fast, so to say. Trying to keep it straight…..in the Right direction. I’ll try to take my own advice. Nxt>

  69. Thank you!

  70. Submarines?
    Even the cartels have those.
    They’re quite common these days.
    Reminds me of when the Earth borers came out making tunnels in the Earth’s crust. Now one can buy a cheap one from China though unsure who gets the permits.
    Don’t mind me, I’m just passing through.
    Carry on>

    hehe

  72. JM remember you can’t control the wind, but you can adjust the sail….

  73. AYE AYE AYE

  74. just to be clear: I dont support ILLEGAL drug use. use of drugs classified as legal by your local government (or unclassified/unknown) are fine by me. sry guess im in a weird mood, ill stop posting now.

  75. thats a very good point. also, for the record: I hope mr.faulls family gets some closure and justice…..was very hard to watch his father in tears…..just wanted to state that so nobody gets the wrong impression about me. I’m inspired by johns intellect and knowledge not his association with a murder investigation. but perception is reality….everyone has a differant perspective and therefore has a differant interpretation of reality. while their are fundamental truths and falsehoods the rest is objective and subjective. hence, reality is relative. and if you want a good example of this, try lsd. im joking of course, i dont support drug use. sry for the rant, im bored.

  76. Lots of yes men in this world, WEB. When you are the boss type, like GF was, few will tell you no. No matter how horrible what you are planning is. Worse yet many of us eliminate the “no” people from our lives. The part I find saddest: Had the course been slightly altered GF and JM would likely have been friends that were very good for each other. The kind that would tell each other No! when one came up with the occasional horrible plan.

  77. May I suggest you Write up a quick Sticky Article that always stays on top explaining the intentions of the blog. As I believe you were saying people think this blog is a place where you are trying to clear your name and probably other assumptions of your true intentions of this blog. I’m sure in one simple paragraph you could explain the reason for this blogs existence. And may lead the people from the beginning of the journey through your stories in a different light with a clearer point of view in the end. I guess kind of a prologue. Hope I’m making sense. Have had little sleep. Just a suggestion. I have good ones now and then. Never great but sometimes good.

    beautiful ..

  79. we need a ‘LIKE’ button, lol

  81. I Feel You. I Know we are kindred Spirits. Proud of you and how you are taking ‘what is’ and Being Pro-active. Retrospectively, paying the bribe would’ve been the path of least resistance, but that wouldn’t have set right with your Core Principles! Knowing that you are doing the Higher Minded Way will Lead you to places of Greatness that you couldn’t dream up 🙂 Unfortunately we get persecuted because most people don’t get the depth of our Passion…..My Best To You

  82. Unfortunately, I have been out of the computer field for over 20 years. I have no current contacts and wouldn’t know how to advise you other than to recommend that you go personally and knock on doors rather than use email or letters. Good luck to you.

  83. Mr.McAfee

    I’ve been unemployed since 2012 – Its really getting bad financially, I have a family of five to support and my unemployment is going to expire very soon I have been on many interviews and nothing is coming through some places I have interview with I never get any responses back- I guess that’s the new thing. I’ve been in the IT field since 1990.I’m asking you for help with finding employment, I just need a opportunity I know this email as nothing to do with your issues – I pray that everything will work out with you.
    Good luck and god bless you.

  84. I am not trying to clear my name and have no interest whatsoever in putting any effort into doing so. That’s in no way what this blog is about. As I explained earlier, whatever people think about the Truth, those thoughts have absolutely no impact on the Truth. If rain falls and you think it doesn’t, the rain is not going to care much. The “ridiculously one sided Dateline report” is still good publicity for the blog, the movie, the book etc. so good still comes out of it. As P.T. Barnum once said: There is no such thing as bad publicity providing they spell your name right.

  85. I’ve been meeting with the screenwriter, and with Chad, nearly every day for many hours. Hinterland will be awesome I believe. Chad is the the Man.

  86. Hello Guinivere. Where are you living now? Have you talked to Judy lately?

  87. jesus john i just saw the dateline interview and from an my perspective it seems like this blog and your interviews are starting to perhaps work against you. that dateline interview made greg faull look like a blue coller innocent hero and you look like an insane junkie who crossed the small line between genius and insanity. It was rediculously one sided and obviously paints you in a very negetive light probably for the sensationalism of that alone but perhaps also it was something personal…..i rly feel for you, it must be incredibly difficult to live life with so many people making accusations against you constantly….so i feel like you either need to say fuck it and go underground for the rest of your life…..or go on the offensive and work even harder to clear your name……u know better than i, just an outsiders advice. good luck sir.

  88. Thanks. I’ll check it out.

  89. Yes. One person here was shocked that I didn’t self destruct after Amy’s comment about drugs and Bluelight. Nothing happened because I knew the story and simply didn’t choose to enlighten anyone because I was too busy. What the world thinks about the truth has no effect on the Truth. This is what people don’t get. You may think what you will about me. It doesn’t change me.

    Hi John – Any news on when the Vice article will be ready? I’m seriously interested in what these guys come up with. Good luck silencing the mindless chatter of the haters. It is just too hard for some people to believe that you are an honest, well intentioned person. Don’t let the trolls and the media paint the wrong picture. They’re just trying to find the slightest bit of chum to frenzy over. Luckily you have nothing to hide. Isn’t it funny how many people that pisses off? Blackmail, extortion, none of it happens unless you have something to hide. Well done.

    *This post was not actually posted by Rocco. It was an impostor and the ip has been banned. -Admin*

  91. not sure if this has already been answered but just wondering….have you considered appearing in your movie? and has anyone been chosen to play you? i saw a trailer for the new al pachino movie and he looks almost exactly like you when you had black hair. check out this link if you wanna see the resemblence: http://www.broadway.com/buzz/164019/watch-al-pacino-and-christopher-walkens-wild-night-out-in-stand-up-guys/

  92. check out newrivercoffee.com, i believe that was johns coffee business, not sure if theyre still in business but id love to try some. Also i realize this is off topic but since were talking about coffee, you guys should try peets coffee…..jamacia blue mountain and india peaberry were both amazing coffee…..coffeebeandirect has cheaper prices if your looking for a deal….columbian beans are always a safe bet as well….and IMO french press coffee tastes the best. sry for the rant but ive really gotten into coffee latly. a perfect cup is one of the best things you could ever wake up to.

  93. Just because he told Amy that substance was poison didn’t mean it was really poison, but simply that he didn’t want her to touch it.
    If these druggies wanted to take that shit and try to alter it, that was on them. IMO, they were already putting poison in their bodies. Adding innocuous substances like water or baking soda isn’t going to chemically alter that garbage into poison. Personally, I find it High-Larious that he was telling them to dose it in 5 mil increments…. at that rate, they’d never get high. bahahaha

  94. ohhh…there’s nothing like a good cup of GOOD coffee…..I’m jealous, lol… enjoy David!

  95. Exactly Connie…… rotten friends and something stinks. Noticed they aren’t so vocal here since Dateline aired either……..

  96. my only question is whats going on with the fiance?
    long time no news from her.

  97. You mean she’s not real? Say it ain’t so plz!

  98. LMAO ROF!!!!!

  99. You brought back memories of a tree house coffee shop in Placencia where I so enjoyed a cup of that coffee not too long ago….Hmmmm

  100. or commando tehehehe

  101. Welcome to Star Bucks can I take your order? One John Mcafee to go venti. You know no one knows “Cafee” like John Mcafee. Ten percent of all sales go to local childrens charities. Guage the market and start roasting beans again, your in the lime light stay there John.

  102. I trust that you are not referring to me as I am not on any other blogs.
    People? Eh. They’re more alike (for the most part) than most would be comfortable admitting to. Most have the same “drives”. That’s why I find social engineering interesting.

    I have been one who facilities from time to time
    But then nothing is constant in life, everything changes, from moment to moment , especially as new information unfolds, ..this is a process of discovery, and sometimes we ping pong along the way

  104. I had a dream I witnessed a large theft from a department store. I found the manager and told him I had seen two women take two racks of clothing out the door. He asked me to go to a room to provide details. Some time later, I woke up, and realized he had knocked me out. There was a woman over me, threatening me to say, “I like my privacy.” I woke up with a terror rushing through my veins, and realized this is the corruption too many people are living with all over the world; paralyzed by fear. I knew this feeling is what John McAfee must have felt, but rose above and navigated. I worked for John in his home when he was married to his second wife. In nearly four years of working for him and living in close proximity, John was a gentleman; faithful, kind, friendly, never haughty, and always sober. I was relieved when you were safe in the U.S. and wish you all the benefits of the silver lining.

  105. Also, Tell Chad we would like more teasers of Hinterland. I know he has been working hard on it. Might not want to share until there is a finished product…but if he feels like dropping us more teasers that would be way cool. All in Favor say “Aye!”

  106. Just a random here. I have a friend that travels to Belize Guatemala and El Salvador area once every few months and always brings me a non labeled clear bag of coffee bean back that is the best coffee I have ever tasted in my life. He does not tell me where he gets it from. So now I have to stay friends with the guy to keep the coffee coming lol. It could be generic walmart brand for all I know and I probably just like it because of the mystery. Regardless it taste better than any other coffee I have ever tasted. Is your coffee still available anywhere? I would love to give it the ole Coke Pepsi challenge to see which I like best. Shoot it might even be the same coffee…..yeah I’m going to go brew me some coffee now.

    Come on guys, ya gotta luv him.. He is so funny if you get the joke

  109. At the top of the blog, See the Truth=> An open letter to the friends and family of Mr. Faull.

    It is all there along with the reward offer.
    .
    John put that up early on.
    .
    Mr. Faulls Parents have changed their story, subtley but changed it is.When originally asked about John and his dogs, they said they knew nothing.Now they are sayig it was foremost on Mr. Faulls mind.
    .
    The other ex pats seems tobe circling the wagons as if they will be next. John was not as popular with them because he didn’t drink this isn’t rocket science.Think a little, try to step outside your puritanical upbringing and think.

  110. Hi

    I’m looking forward to the John McAfee Autobiography!

    Any Idea when it will be out?

    Thanks.

  111. I agree it was almost like either they were scared of confronting Greg or scared of confronting John so they let it go. It was stated many time how much Greg drank. I know that when people drink that much they have a personality shift. Some change for the worse and he was a big man. On the other hand, if they were scared of John, then they lived vicariously through Greg by letting him be their voice. Then again, I believe I read on this blog that it is common practice to poison stray dogs in Belize, but John’s dogs were rescued pets. It does seem odd that not one person said that they had advised him not to poison the dogs. They seemed adamant that he said he was going to do it and he did it. End of conversation. With friends like that, who needs enemies, right?

  112. G bless John … do not let the 95% wear you down .. if I remember it well 5% of the population create change / 5% adapt to the change and 90% do not see the dust… raise a cup to the people like yourself …

    Mr. McAfee you are in total control, as it should Be, You are , McAfee, after . Naturally, will use your full discretion on what you consider appropriate to “Who is John McAfee” blog
    There may well Be  sensitive considerations in order to protect  the innocent or the not so innocent that we are not entitled to . 
    I have stated from the beginning that I think this Blog is brilliant “His Story “ in your own words…And you do have such a lovely play and way with words
    Opening this blog up to interactive comments, may have complicated things a bit , it is an experiment in interactive story telling.
    As for me, our comments and your insightful and playful responses have offered another layer to the Blog and the Subtle explorations about Truth, Love and Beauty, Security, and nothing is as it Appears to Be. Perhaps not the true intention of the blog but True none the less.
     Do I believe in every word you say? That may be foolish  with  your trickster ways and the sensitivity of  information at hand .. but it really doesn’t matter. 

    Do I believe.. In You ? Absolutely,  ….I believe You are Being True to  yourself , whoever and wherever that may Be… while protecting your self and those you hold most dear…and the best you know How. 

    Do I Trust You, well then, that another matter

    “ The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically, there is nothing in the world that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing”.. Krishnamurti

    I personally think we all must question everything in Life even, at times “Who is John McAfee.” I have a feeling that you know that to be true
    Causing chaos with my questioning nature is not my intent .. but sometimes it does. I will restrain myself is so desired. This is not about Me , after all. There are more important topics at hand ( like do you wear briefs or boxers? )
    My best to you and the Loves of your Life…

  114. Since Dateline, and then the comments posted by locals afterwards, I’ve had this gnawing feeling …..
    John, I was always confused by the disdain some of the expats/locals exhibited towards you on this blog and other forums. It just didn’t make sense. Now I wonder if there was a dose of guilt added to fuel their fire. I’ll try to explain:
    There have been several comments about how normal the irritation of barking dogs was, BUT also how normal it was to accept it. Everyone knew dogs barked, regularly, and just dealt. Then, along comes GF, who complained freely about JM’s dogs (& others it appears) to anyone who would listen. The loud (drunk) American letting his opinion be known. The headstrong American who felt he deserved Paradise, and was going to make sure he had it. Why did none of the locals he drank with tell him he would (have to) get used to barking dogs? Why didn’t they tell him NO when he said he was going to poison them? Were they getting a rise from watching the newbie get all fired up? Were they hoping for some sort of confrontation between the two men? What would possess them to not reveal this important piece of the culture to their new friend? Did they think he was all bark and no bite, and would never follow through?
    I don’t know, this is just a gut feeling (but it makes sense to me, lol). Guilt is extremely powerful, and can easily govern emotions. If in fact these ‘friends’ of Greg’s did nothing to dissuade him from hurting your beautiful dogs, then I hope the guilt eats at them every day……they have a lot to feel guilty about.

  115. You have photographs? OMG!!
    You haven’t taken them to the police? Hmmmm
    You’re telling John now, here on the blog?
    Bahahahahahaha

  116. And mine would go on my office wall, near my Dilbert cartoon cels and the cool Japanese calligraphy of my name 😉
    .
    That is, if I had an autograph from john….

  117. i requested an autograph for two reasons: 1. to actually see if i could get john to do it and 2. to keep for myself and eventually give to my daughter when shes older to inspire her the way john has inspired me. I will never sell it or give it away. and many props to john for being humble enough to agree and not even ask for shipping money from me for it. that being said, i hope people will not take advantage of his kindness and generosity after this. i cant thank u enough, i think it shows you have a good heart.

  119. John, please unlock my blocked IP address also I’m sorry – i apologize for my attitude and what I wrote here before. I think Chad decided quickly to block me a month ago, (and i’m glad he did) not sure what part of my rant harangued spewing did me in (all of it i’m sure) i was trying to be clever like I know something – but I have now been following you with total realizations an open mind and new awareness . I feel like crap for getting blocked here a long time ago by Chad i completely got it right away as soon as I saw I was blocked, he was like the attorney paralegal who runs interference for the attorney… Blocking for the quarterback, you don’t need my crap or anyones ego/ fear driven clueless detractors competing against you out of jealousy and envy with their own selfish crap. I apologize again for my inflammatory machinations from a month ago.. Please tell Chad I Apologize I was wrong it won’t happen again if he allows me back i will be more real and considerate thoughtful and I hope to participate in a better way here non- demeaning way, not negatively lashing out or fighting back at all vicariously at someone anyone from my own crazy life, I got sober in AA back in 1983 also and haven’t drank since 1995 or done any illicit street drugs, coke or crack. I try to work an honest program – this is my 9th step amends – let go of outcomes. Thankyou. Best, KK

  120. I did send my condolences.

  121. I started my own coffee company called New River Coffee Co. I did most of the roasting myself.

  122. LMAO @ wow that was 35 years ago!

    I know that feeling…except for me it was 25-30 years ago.

    Lead, eat, sleep and move!

  123. john, i asked this a few monthes ago when you are the run and im still curious….whats your favorite coffee/ region for coffee? do you really roast your own coffee? ive really gotten into coffee latly and using a french press and maybe this sounds stupid but id love to try coffee made by you lmao. i had some peets jamacia blue mountain last month (40 bux for 1/2 pound) and it was the best ive ever had…..can you share your favorite brewing method as well?

  125. Hello John. I recently watched the Dateline about your story and I support you and believe you are innocent. I like the fact that you are offering a reward for finding Greg Faull’s killer. One thing I didn’t love was that you didn’t offer condolences to Greg’s family. It was sad to see how upset they were that the government had given up on the search for his killer. I apologize if you did send condolences to his family, and I’m simply unaware of it, but if you didn’t, I think it would be the right thing to do. One more thing, it is amazing and inspiring to see how sharp you are at your age.

  126. I need to get a tan

  127. John, you are, (as we say down south) a piece of work!! Congratulations on the film..can’t wait to see it!

  128. Yes they might. No way of knowing. But I guess regardless in the end they would go to someone who really wanted it. Mine will be right next to the zombie Santa Picture that chad drew me for Christmas. Chad is one cool guy. and john, your alright too I guess =)

  129. Will do. I don’t mind negative comments, by the way. They are good for the flow. But some people simply want to create chaos.

  130. It takes four weeks to feel the effects. Just be patient.

  131. Also might be a good idea to block anyone using a proxy at all if possible. Just to possibly eliminate that angle.

  132. And as much as we like to see the negative comments get stomped by either you, WEB , SL or other dedicated bloggers here I think some can be rejected before they see the light of day. I say if its a negative post and you feel you can comment on it and it turn into a productive statement then let those through. But some are just attacks and unneeded like one of my past post. Not sure who is accepting or rejecting ,if its you and chad or someone else or even if you have control of it on the front end. Just a suggestion. But I don’t think anyone who really matters would mind never seeing the BS to begin with. Also….I think the TAN batch I got is bunk…I still don’t feel anything yet….

  133. Sorry it took so long, but I try to give everyone an opportunity to express their opinion. However, pure maliciousness does no one any good. I will continue to ban I.P.s of malicious posters, even those who se multiple I.P. addresses constantly.

  134. FINALLY!!!!

    Funny , Connie. Love it
    No one, famous or not.. Has to put out their past for all to see.
    Many Famous people live invisible lives
    Sometimes they use their fame and light, at great sacrifice to their anonymity,to bring attention to things that they hold most dear…be it a cause, politics, personal freedom or a commercial venture that High visibility will help sell. The mere Name recognition gets you in the door.
    It is a useful commodity . McAfee uses it well,
    Don’t we all want to Be seen for something?

  137. It’s amazing to me that you’re even wasting time addressing these people. I’m also amazed at some of the comments I’ve seen …. it’s as if some have come here to berate you and hackle you. Why would they do this? Do they envy the life you were living in Belize, or do they side with the Belizean “government”? I can’t figure out their deal …. personally I think you’re a God damn luminary. It is my suggestion that you not let internet trolls affect your day …. just a thought.

  138. +1 Agreed. John’s address was outstanding. No bullshit, honest and inspirational.

  139. OK.. Still waiting for that continuation of the Clear and Present Danger Thread. Best of luck.

  140. All these autograph seekers will end up trying to sell it on ebay 🙂

  141. And waste the drug you started with?
    .
    Sounds like a good way to get rid of some drugs. Bath Salts is nasty stuff.
    .
    It amazes me how people will trust some post on the internet and risk their health like that. I worked with a guy that kept trying to find some way to get high that would not show up on a “pee test”. I told him that sex was the best high ever and it is legal!!
    .
    Looking forward to more posts from you, and pictures…love the pictures 😉

  142. Lol. Just like that “give them to the police” LOL now that doesn’t sound like the statement of a guilty man. That was great.

  143. I said in the Bluelight thread, at least a hundred times, that people should take absolutely no more than 5 milligrams of the end product. Five milligrams is barely visible. You can ingest 5 milligrams of arsenic, or nearly any substance, without any effect at all. I put no-one in danger.

  144. Just tried this drug called tan. Ever heard of it? Figured I’d post on your blog while waiting for it to kick in. I hear its gonna be GREAT!! lol..anyways, I also would love your autograph f you care to spend the time one day to send it. Would be awesome. I had send you an email a while back to your yahoo address. My address is in that email. Search your mail for Jdsniderjr. Will find my email with that keyword.thank you ahead of time if you decide to sent it. Have a good day sir.

  145. Hopefully I will never be famous and have to put my past out there for all too see….LOL

  146. Yeah I agree. I think that the picture of John is very flattering and intriguing.

  147. Running in the Background is a great name for a movie! I have been here since this started and will continue until the end! Hang in there John! Everything will work out!!

  148. Right on . there is always someone to spoil what we see as good and decent .

    eli eli lama sabactani 😉

    keep going John

  149. Didn’t you warn Amy repeatedly not to take it, not because it was MDMA, but because it might be poison. Any chance of people reading your bluelight thread being poisoned. This is called a question, not an accusation. Thought you answered this sort of thing because you got a kick out of it anyway (e.g. in the bluelight thread.)

  150. Yea, I always wondered what happened to you. Marvin and I lived in the “Party Apt”. Years ago when the “McAfee” software came out, and a few times since, i tried to see if that was you but couldn’t find a tie-in with MPRR so I thought it must have been a different McAfee; Not much was available and I also thought it was a once in a million chance it was you anyway – so when this “incident” came out, I searched on your name and MPRR and sure enough, there you were. Anyway, I know you are busy, thanks for responding/remembering. Good luck and don’t forget, “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself”.

  151. Comparing my address with Steve Jobs address is the highest complement I have ever received. I think Job’s address reached absolute perfection. Thank you.

  152. In order to blackmail someone you have to have information that the person does not want publicly known. There is no such information. I am not afraid of anything anyone might say.

  153. Wow… That was 35 years ago. Interesting times.

  154. There is no such drug as Tan. That was the point of the hoax. If you followed the formula, you get a purely non – drug product.

  155. I did review every single post on blue light. Why would you enourage others to try to make brown tan? Did you not think you were pushing drug use?

  156. john, i follow your story daily. sorry to see that you had to waste your time with this post. i’m intrigued with the info of what’s been smuggled into the usa via hezbollah / the drug cartel… keep it up, people ‘need’ to know about this.

    best regards.

  157. Hey John, don’t forget to include in the movie about the times we spent getting stoned in the apartments off hwy 70 near Lucas & Hunt when we worked together at MPRR in STL. Also, you should include the many times we got high snorting MDA, that orange powder that burned like shit and the times we called everyone and told them we loved them on John Lennon’s declared “Love Day”. Great times, eh? Do you still tell the story about the “Kush”? You were quite a jokester in those days as I recall. Good luck with the movie, can’t wait to see it.

  158. U were booted for being disrespectful again

  159. I don’t consider myself a sycophant.
    .
    I do not blindly believe everything John says. I read it, research it, look for substantiating facts, etc… I, however do not challenge him on it unless I know I am right. John has had to answer the same questions, explain the same things, over and over again.
    .
    If people would do their homework before being confrontational, this would not be neccessary. Honest debate is healthy. Too many people are just spouting opinion and caling it fact.

  160. Hi John,

    Please don’t get distracted by all the nay-sayers. You have a great fan here! I am going through a similar ordeal in a third world country. Your story inspired me very much and is helping me battle that ordeal which is totally unnecessary and no fault of mine. Could you please send me an autograph that I can look at for inspiration when I am feeling low? If so please let me know where I can email my details.

    Thanks

  161. John McAfee,
    Long time reader and story follower of yours,
    we would also love an autograph for my collection of famous people, i sent my contact info to you on the “contact us” link here.
    Thanks and best of luck in the future!

  162. And it is interesting how some have ping ponged between supporting John, then discrediting him, then back again as a die hard fan.
    .
    Fair Weather Fans they are called.
    .
    Some of us have been in this from the beginning, Professing your innocence and supporting you. I find it amusing how they will post here as though they believe you then on other blogs join the horde of nay-sayers and doubters.
    .
    Sigh, people are interesting.

  163. Frankly, you have far bigger fish to fry than a few naysayers on an obscure blog. You have 7 teenage girls who have a taste for “the good life” who are now back on the streets of Central America. Sooner or later they will be arrested and will make a deal with the police. What they say may or may not be the truth. They also will realize that they can blackmail you if they haven’t already. It is your “friends” who will be your undoing.

  164. your roanoke commencement address truly inspired me and is one of the finest commencement addresses ive ever heard…..right up their with steve jobs stanford address IMO. i encourage everyone to check it out. i wish you the best and look forward to your movie/book.

  165. this name, i assumed it was blocked because my comments wouldnt show up unless i wrote on my computer. Thanks so much, your truly a classy guy. ill just post my address here as im not sure what your email is. its: 4256 North st. Apt #4, Blasdell, NY, 14219

  166. Phew! It’s not just me. I had no idea what exif data was before Guatemala. Still have no clue how one goes about getting it. lol

  167. Give them to the police.

  168. I did have a blast. The few intelligent members of Bluelight caught on early that it was a hoax and tried to warn the others but no-one listened to them, thankfully. The idea of re-discovering a long lost drug formula and getting people to try and make it somehow tickled me. Hundreds actually tried.

  169. No my friend – you are your own worst enemy. You have posted over 80 posts attempting to discredit a man you have never even met, and know little about. Where is your own life?

  170. I put my heart and soul into personally roasting that coffee.

  171. What name did you use for your other I.P. address? I will unlock it. I will send you an autograph if you give me an address.

  172. John,
    Alot of people think you have changed your personality. i was your cab driver years ago and you are still the same great guy. Oregon is cool. i live in Eugene. if you ever need a driver let me know.

  173. Love the graphics that accompany IFM’s teaser, and the description looks intriguing enough to pull in some newbies. My nephew is in the biz. in Canada, and speaks pretty highly of IFM, glad you found each other.

  174. John,

    I for one am glad that you did explain. I am not into photography and just kept seeing the same post over and over. I didn’t understand how the exif data worked so I just ignored it. Funny when you were on the run that you did have more time and were able to nip these comments in the bud. I miss that conversation. I didn’t doubt that you weren’t misleading us on this, but I think the comments that Amy said on dateline needed some further explanation. There are people on this board that are trying to instill doubt. As I hope you know, I am not nor ever have been one of those people. Your house is/was beautiful btw. Almost made me want to go back to Belize, but I remembered what it was really like when I was there…..

  175. BTW, love the “working title”. It’s a keeper!

  176. Some are spending way too much time and energy looking for something to discredit you… perhaps they are too scared or stupid to think about what is really going on!

  177. could you please unblock my ip address so I can post on my computer and not my phone? I sincerly apologize for whatever I did to get it blocked. also, I realize your very busy but I beg you sir, could I please have your autograph? I will pay for it if necessary, I havnt heard back from you or chad…..anyway, thats insane cocaine is 60 bux an ounce as it typically sells for a few grand around here….as always I appreciate your insight and if you could send me an autograph for my daughter I would rly appreciate it. her name is alexandria and you can address it to her if you wish. Thanks, robert gemerek

  178. John, my only question is how you had such patience for so long with the naysayers who obviously just wanted to try to show you up, and in the process only showed themselves as sooooo dumb and lazy. It’s good to see you address all this pettiness so directly. Continue to fight the good fight, and stay safe. I’m constantly so proud of your courage and integrity!

  179. wow 60 bux an ounce!? thats why i love this blog, from social engineering to your experiences in belize….i wouldve never gained this type of information because its so rare for someone of your experiences to actually converse with average people and have the humility to explain yourself and while it may be a pain in the ass, i think its worth it when you consider most people require some level of explanation when trying to understand the extraordinary events you describe.

  180. Great read John, you have much patience with those naysayers, I am enjoying my last bit of New River Coffee…signature Expresso…roast some of that up in the Northeast, that is some good coffee

  181. This is your blog and you can do as you choose. Clearly you are used to getting your way in life. I have no idea whether you committed a murder, manufactured drugs, nor does it matter what I think. You have your sycophants and you have your critics. Welcome to the real world. You court publicity and crave attention. Did you really believe it would all be positive? When you put yourself “out there” you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. Surely this cannot be a revelation to a man your age. Anger and insults do nothing to increase your credibility. You are by far your own worst enemy.

  182. Thank you, John.
    At your urging, I have just spent the last several hours reading Bluelight……all 1023 posts…. fascinating! You must have had a blast! 😉
    One of your ‘samples’ looks almost identical to some Egyptian sand I keep in a jar…..beautiful light tan color….lol.
    Can’t wait for more of your amazing life to unfold before our eyes, thanks for sharing it here with us first.

  183. Just watched the Dateline show….yes, I know I’m late.

    Unfortunately, I believe you too John. 🙂

  184. I was on the beach that night. I saw and heard quite a lot. Sure you don’t want to change your story? I have photographs.

  185. John, when will production start on the movie? Will it be a made for TV movie, a feature film?and when can we expect to see it?

  186. Too bad you couldnt’ of been rescued by submarine 😉 like in a Bond movie. lol. …

  187. You are a complete nerd… which may indeed lend credence to your story (in my opinion).

Aloha John 🙂 A friendly reminder of your yoga Wisdom….to Truly reach Center, Nirvana and your Highest Knowing; you must be Clear” When influenced by nicotine and caffeine you won’t get to the Wisdom of your Soul and your Ideal State of Being. (this is in response to your interview where you said you started smoking and were drinking 4 expressos! After all you have gone through, it is Best to Be Clear 🙂 I know it is hard after all the recent stress and being separated from the only ones you trusted. If you need/want someone Very well trained in Helping Wise Old Souls Actualize…..I am here for you…..It is so important that you make all future decisions from your Highest Rhythm and Knowing and not from fear….just a friendly reminder…from my Heart to Yours

  189. Keep posting gadgets john. I love to see the things you did to spy on the belize govt.

  190. Coke is also too cheap in Belize to make any money from. Bales of it wash up on San Pedro beaches from capsized Columbian drug boats to the tune of $100 million street value (in the U.S.) each year. For a country with a population of less than a quarter of a million people that brings the price of cocaine down to about $60 an ounce.

  191. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

  192. Seriously? Yeah the only use ever for baking soda is rocking up coke….that’s ridiculous.

  193. Your support is very welcome. Thank you.

  194. I appreciate your support.

  196. No need to apologize. We all have bad days. Thank you for all of your support David.

  197. Baking soda … you were cooking cocaine in your lab.

  198. John, sorry you had to spend the time to go into detail explaining all this but I think it might help so you made the right decision to address it. Also want to apologize for any aggravation I may have caused with my one negative post. Had a bad day. We all have those don’t we. And I also apologized for other issues related to me you are aware of though I won’t mention them here. You know what it is and please accept my apology. Thank you for your dedication to all of this. You are a true soldier.

  199. I have followed you from the beginning. I have written the letters, supported you, defended you and questioned you. If my questioning was over the line, you have my sincere apologies. I wish you only the best on your new film, your saftey, your quest for unveiling the coruption in Belize, and your new life back in the US. Also, For Chad who anyone would dream to have such a loyal friend.

  200. John,

    Thank you for this. Some of us are more than happy to educate the other posters where needed.
    .
    Some of us have not only read this entire blog but we have read other things as well.
    .
    You have more important things to do rather than continue to explain the same things over and over. remember that some of these people believe that Honey Boo Boo is real 🙂
    .
    We are here to help you John, we believe in you.

  201. Thank you Sir.

  202. Mr Mcafee,
    Glad I have a real chance to say hello on your page. And congratulations on your safety, and ability to make it back to the States safely.
    As soon as I saw your story, before you were able to have your voice heard. I knew you were being scapegoated by the media, and the Belizean government ( a joke).
    It only made sense that there was way more to this story than was being initially reported, and that you were an American national with influence who was being abused by the powers that be… for whatever reasons…
    Theres much to be thankful for, while there are American heroes like yourself, working to bring to light what seems to be some pertinent information.
    Certainly I would hope your efforts and words have not only fallen on deaf ears. And many are finding your achievements, important. Feel free to contact if assistance is needed.

  204. Exactly How I feel when people who have never even entered the Ocean tell me where and how to surf.. Good luck on the Movie…! I generally ignore the Cinema these days, but will be in attendance at Yours…

  205. Dear John,

    Lead, eat, sleep, move!

    I’m a believer in you, what you have done, what you are doing and what you will do.

    I just hope that I’m not informed by you or anyone else one day that it was all BS. It would be a huge disappointment. Been there done that as recently as Lance Armstrong.

    I believe you buddy, the words you speak are the gospel, until proven different. Then and only then may GOD have mercy on your soul.

    Just continue being a man of your word, or start being.

    All’s well that ends well. It’s not how you start but how you finish that will be how you are remembered!

    Notice my IP addy I’m in TX. now, pretty big state lots of places to get lost.

    Regards,
    GJ

  208. John I have been following this story since you have been on the run. I haven’t posted until now. Don’t let the problem makers get to ya, its just not worth your time to acknowledge them and let them know they are getting to you. Any one who has dabbled in photography and playing with photos would know exactly of what you just clarified. Keep yourself safe and I am hoping Sam and Amy are with you here in the states soon.

  209. What a shame that you had to take the time to provide such a detailed explanation. There has been an increase in the number of people visiting here who are trying so hard to be clever, to catch you up in some way, to be the ultimate expert, it is just tedious and damn boring. You have amazing patience, and I am looking forward to the movie.
