LOOK BOTH WAYS...........

GUEST POST by SL



I’ve looked at John McAfee from both sides now…

From up and down and still somehow… I really don’t know John McAfee at all, or do I?

I, along with many of you, have been riding this crazy train of the John McAfee Saga since it began on that fateful day in November.  For me it began like any other day, at my computer.  While scrolling through the top headlines on Huffington Post, there it was, the wanted poster.  As I clicked the link I could almost hear Ozzy yelling…

"ALL ABOOOOOAAAARRD AHAHAHAHAHAHA..."

NO SLEEP........

Greetings all.  It feels like forever since I've had a chance to do this.  So much has been going on, but it's all good.  Recently I was asked to be part of an amazing project, and thrilled at the opportunity, I got right to work.  Of course, I jumped in with both feet and fell flat on my face, lol but I got back up and started again.  I was thrilled when I got a thumbs up, and now that I'm over the 'learning curve', I should have more time for wimawiw.  

നധ WHERE IS McAFEE WEEKLY?............

They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions...... and I'd just like to say 'hello' from that hot flaming street.  Despite my best efforts, circumstances have put the publishing of this week's installment of MW behind....obviously not what anyone wanted, but shit happens.  I can tell you that some of what John and I talked about will give a much desired update on some of our favorite people, but that's all the hints for now.  Thanks for being patient, I will get this posted for you ASAP.

Ever mindful of the rights of others, I made sure before we started that John knew he was being recorded.  What? lol.... At least I told him.  Chuckles aside, I asked about the whistle blower actions that still have Edward Snowden 'hanging out' in a Russian airport transit zone.  smh

JM DOES CAVUTO.............

Catch John today with Neil Cavuto on Fox. 

JM opened, and talked with Neil for the first half of the show.  He looked and sounded great, spot on as they say.  I especially liked the quick reply when NC asked how much he was worth.... " well, how much are you worth, sir? "  Bazinga...  lol.  I actually like Neil Cavuto, think he's a pretty decent guy with a non-fox like style ~ and an actual sense of humor, that worked well with John's.  I certainly appreciated that he took the time to touch on a variety of subjects, and that he didn't try to rush or interrupt JM's answers.  Kudos NC.  It must have been refreshing for John too, to be able to finish a sentence.  ;)

The entire interview is at whoismcafee , and certainly worth watching.

McAFEE WEEKLY.........................Special Guest

Having John in Montreal last week, filming the Documentary Who is McAfee, provided an excellent opportunity to talk with someone else who is a big part of his life....

Do you love to laugh?...... you know, that outrageous,
uncontrollable laughter, because something is so funny you have no other choice?  The rolling on the floor, glad you're not old enough to worry about an 'accident', make it stop....my belly hurts, laughter?  It's one of my favorite things to do, and I love being around funny people.  Laughter is purifying for the soul, and should be done on a regular basis to keep our psyche's well lubricated. As the the youngest of 5 educated, well mannered, loud, funny and creative children (my mom made me say that), I had no choice but to find my niche early on.  Art?  Loved it always.... my Grandfather was an artist, so it runs in the genes, and I'm one of the lucky ones to whom it comes fairly naturally.  That doesn't mean I think I'm Picasso, it just means that I am  capable....anyone who has tried any art medium knows what I'm talking about.  I still paint regularly, and find it one of the most relaxing and gratifying things I do.  Sports?

CH~CH~CH~CHANGES..............and JM as you've never heard him.

Some people love living a life full of changes.....often celebrating the opportunities, while others dread the mere mention of any deviation from their comfortable routine.....often living in fear of it.  Most of us are somewhere in the middle.....we may not want too many changes, but we're fully aware they happen anyway, and have learned to roll with them. Most changes are already in 'full swing' by the time we find out about them anyway, so stress and worry are futile.  However, I also know some changes are cool .......like this one :

~LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH~
parts 1 & 2

 നധ  It was only week two, so I was still anxious. Waiting for John's email, I pondered the possible topics.  There was certainly no shortage in my mind of things to talk about, but this week I was hoping JM would take the opportunity to pick something that was important to him. Last week had been such a blast, and hearing his laughter and the enjoyment he got reminiscing about the Sky Gypsy days had me hoping for more of the same.  I opened the email and smiled..... this was going to be enlightening to say the least.  JM had made a decision, and I was completely game......although a little concerned about having enough questions to ask..... well, momentarily anyway.

TEASE ME........

Never having been a fan of the 'teasers' that run rampant in much of our media, I have always tried to avoid using them myself......... UNTIL NOW  buhahaha.

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE........

Have you ever felt psychic? No, not psychotic, lol, and maybe not even psychic so much as intuitive?........like when you have  that nagging feeling of impending doom, or a knot in the pit of your stomach, but no real reason why?  Well that was me on Thursday.  I didn't know what it was exactly, but I knew there was something.  Despite being busy with multiple projects, the feeling kept creeping back, overshadowing everything else I was doing.  Quite frankly, it was annoying.....primarily because I couldn't figure out the source.  After a round of 'call the family & friends' there was still no explanation for my ominous thoughts.    I was extremely perplexed.............WTF was going on?  I obviously needed some sleep.

TRUNKS OF MEMORIES.......

6 months ago the only McAfee in my world was the AV 'stuff' protecting my computers, (doing a fine job btw).  Sure, I knew he was a real person, but thoughts of 'him' weren't a regular occurrence......hell, I barely gave the program any thought, never mind the man.   Little did I know, a few days later,  how much the TV, running in the background of my normal life, would impact me and my world with such an unprecedented, intense, often mind-blowing journey.  It was a list of firsts......a hair-raising cat and mouse chase playing out live on our computers, a Master of Marketing playing the MSM right under their noses, and blogging from detention - whether as John or Harold - all generated by McAfee ingenuity......the name we knew, the man we didn't..........yet. A wild trip indeed, and I didn't even have to pack.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BRAND NEW DAY.........

There was a certain rush I got when JM landed in Miami.  We had traveled so far with him...... invested ourselves somehow in his safe return to America, and it felt like a huge win.  I've been waiting to feel that rush again.   It didn't happen immediately upon reading that George Jung would be writing John's biography, No Domain, but a bit of research on George, and another viewing of Blow made me realize it's amazing potential...... I'm excited now.

JUSTICE IS NOT JUST A WORD......

***wimawiw followers.........please sign the petition now available here.  So far, the signatures are almost all Canadians.....Let's show some worldwide support for Jeff's family.  THX.

The new website dedicated to finding Justice for Jeffrey (Furgala) got me thinking.  Just how many murders and suspicious deaths have there been in Belize since November 2012,  and how many of them have been solved? How many other foreigners have been victims?  When is the International community going to stop visiting Belize and demand accountability for their shady (at best) actions? .......I say BOYCOTT BELIZE NOW.
**update**

MAD WORLD........

It's taken almost 24 hours for me to even look at this page.   Now, 48 hours after some mentally deranged lunatic(s) fractured the memory of The Boston Marathon, and crushed countless lives, putting words down is still rough.  Like so many of you, my heart is broken.....scattered in pieces that have landed in the puddles of tears I'm wading through.

PERCEPTION IS REALITY............guest post by SL

This phrase is attributed to Lee Atwater (Google is your friend) though there are many variations of it that occurred before him.  This phrase, as simple as it is, sums up the latest chapter in John McAfee's life, and also in parallel, Belize.  Many perceptions of the past were perceived to be reality and have since been dis-proven with facts, ie:  "the world is flat".

ARE WE THERE YET?......

Some days nothing happens, others a firestorm hits.  Today for some reason, I have been finding stories of generous giving, disastrous possibilities, love & honor, and calls for action against the crime and corruption taking over Belize.  Maybe it will be the young generation of Belize who finally stands up and stops the madness after all.

Enjoy a laugh before you get started.

THE TIME HAS COME...........

Murder and McAfee,  McAfee and Murder........that's what brought us to Belize.   And while McAfee is no longer a person of interest, he will remain tied to the death of Greg Faull for the rest of his days.  And sadly, Mr. Faull's family will forever remain (unjustly) frustrated by a system so antiquated and a police force so inept that not many (as we found out later) had any expectation of a resolution from the start.
