I'm not quite sorry; for the most part, I have pleased with the direction Trump has gone in. I wish Trump would be faster about Draining the Swamp, but I am aware of the possibility that moving faster would start a shooting war here.

The other side of this is that McAfee would not have won the election. This is a sad truth. Most people want some level of government services, and/or to nannystate other people. That can be changed over time...maybe...hopefully...but McAfee would have lost to the Corruption Queen hands down.

McAfee the true Libertarian

McAfee's positions are truly libertarian, unlike that joke of a candidate Johnson.

a free market economy which does not redistribute wealth and upholds free trade

decriminalization of cannabis

end to the war on drugs

non-interventionism in foreign policy. McAfee supports abolishing the Transportation Security Administration

Mcafee "has gone on the record talking about his previous drug habit; he is a vocal gun enthusiast" from John McAfee Interview: Cyberwars are the New Warfare

McAfee recognizes the need for decentralization in technology: see John McAfee on his Presidential Run & Decentralizing Cybersecurity

The Hit Job

There is a documentary on Showtime, Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee': Film Review.

In this doc, The Mercury News notes:

Over the course of her 90-minute film, Burstein lays out evidence that suggests McAfee paid a hitman $5,000 to torture and kill American expat Greg Faull in Belize. Faull was a neighbor who’d had several real run-ins with McAfee over how the tech tycoon allowed his dogs to freely roam the neighborhood and beaches.

But that’s not all. “Gringo” also asserts that McAfee had David Middleton, a man suspected of robbing his home, abducted by hired thugs and repeatedly stabbed and tasered. Middleton slipped into a coma and later died.

The Daily Beast describes how the doc:

details of McAfee’s sex life—and his proclivity for scat sex. As one former Belizean ladyfriend plainly puts it, “He used to make you shit in his mouth.”“He was Belize’s Donald Trump,” laughs McAfee’s former masseuse.

Like Trump's "pee dossier", there is no more evidence of these things than the hallmarks of a character assassination.

The propaganda against McAfee has been ongoing for some time. Here is Gizmodo:

down in Belize, McAfee the enlightened Peter Pan seems to have refashioned himself into a kind of final-reel Scarface.

Tech-savvy pajama boys with a fear of guns and personal responsibility may not have pretty girls in bikinis and guns to play with, but they do have poison pens.



From The Girls, on McAfee's site

Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee': Film Review presents no physical evidence, simply accusations. It does seem possible that the Middleton beating was at McAfee's instigation.

McAfee and Cyberwar

McAfee combines the libertarian perspective with an understanding of national security.

From John McAfee: We’re on the Verge of a Cyber War, some quotes:

“The FBI doesn’t just want to unlock that iPhone. The FBI wants Apple to change its IOS, the operating system, so that it creates a back door to all encryption.”

McAfee warned that creating a back door would eventually fall into the hands of hackers and our enemies. “There has never been a backdoor that’s been kept secret… the Chinese will have the back door,”

“I’m not saying it is important to protect their privacy. But what I am saying is [that] it’s far more important to protect our nation from our enemies. We’re on the verge of a cyber-war.”

McAfee says:

It will a cyber war with far more devastation than could possibly be achieved by our combined nuclear arsenals. Or if conventional weapons are used, they are likely to be our own turned against ourselves.

McAfee argues that decentralization of cybersecurity is a more effective strategy for national security; what this means is that the individual need for privacy is a complement...or even a necessity...in defending the country.

Finally

If McAfee really did had a man beaten for stealing from him, that indicates he understands the need to protect oneself. I find no fault in that.

It seems that he understands that the need for personal security is the bedrock of national security.

McAfee may have shown a taste for indulging himself , but that is the reward motive in a free market economy. What guy doesn't want to play with guns and girls?
