John McAffee shouldn't be quoted anywhere anytime

Disagree. McAffee is an outlier genius, and his personal life activities don't always go through the same filters as more normal folks. It's an aspect of creative talent. His statement that "anyone capable enough to hack a government is capable of hiding their hacking" is a compelling hypothesis that logically sounds like a strong argument against Russia having done the hacking.

Agreed. McAffee has a lot of kookiness in his personal life, but he is spot-on here. He is also right about the statement that our government spends more time spying on private citizens than it does in circumventing outside threats.

And why not? It fears us private citizens more than it does outside threats.

JM is a survivor. Those who insult him don’t understand what he went through - and when its their family’s turn, they will wonder why nobody helps.

He may have some shred of something left but the drugs have taken it’s toll.

Did you read his piece on plugging bath salts? Pure genius.
