The government is deceiving you. The pandemic is a ploy spread by the fake-news media, and if you care about your lives, go out and buy guns now.
That was the message of John McAfee. Between evil laughs and dark chucklings, the tech guru, tax fugitive, and general wild man shared his suspect views on the “state of the world” during COVID-19 last night at Virtual Blockchain Week.
“We are living in a paradigm the world has never seen before,” the 74-year-old crypto advocate and antivirus-software pioneer said, speaking from God knows where.
(He’s kept his whereabouts a secret since fleeing Belize in 2012 after suspicions grew that he killed his neighbor.)
“One-third of the planet is in lockdown,” he said, adding that most of those people are sitting at home, watching TV, and not doing much of anything, while the US government “pulls money out of thin air.” The situation is not sustainable, he argued.
He was especially disturbed by a recent $2 trillion stimulus package in the US, which appears to be backed by nothing other than the good graces of the US government.
“You can’t pull money out of the air and expect everything to be okay. Money is based on something called industry, production, service. We haven’t increased any of that,” he said, with a deep, unsettling chuckle. He predicted the money-printing will lead to a collapse of the US dollar.
It’s too late for crypto
Bitcoin and blockchain were meant to “save us from financial slavery, and from the overburdened government that creates the fiat currency that we are forced to use,” McAfee said.
But he doesn’t think crypto will save us this time.
“We are not going to jump into crypto,” he said, because it’s not easy enough to use.
“It is not like opening a bank account. You have to spend days understanding what it is and how it works.”
But as far as the markets go, he predicts that the price of Bitcoin will spike ahead of the halving event on May 12. He recalled that in 2016, the last halving event, there was a huge rise in the price of Bitcoin, and then a huge drop. And he believes history will repeat because the same people populate the cryptosphere, and they’re just as greedy as they were four years ago.
More people die of diarrhea
As far as the threat of COVID19, McAfee thinks the number of deaths are skewed because they are presented out of context. It is certainly not worth shutting down entire economies, he believes.
Repeatedly, he said more people die of diarrhea and of the flu. But both comparisons, common attempts to downplay the severity of the virus, have been widely dismissed as reckless by leading epidemiologists.
But the way McAfee, who is known for his drug use and paranoia, sees it—just before opening his talk, he jokingly commented he was getting ready to shoot up with heroin—we are being lied to by the government and stirred up by the media.
“If you use your head and common sense, you can see you are being deceived,” he said.
Due to the global shut down and the money printing, he believes dark times ahead for our species.
The solution?
“Go buy guns, and guns first,” he said.
“Because if you just have the food and you don’t have the guns, your neighbors are going to take it because your neighbors have the guns.”
And then McAfee, who appears to enjoy it when people think he is on edge, pulled out an AK-47 assault rifle and began praising its sturdiness.
“This sucker will always fire,” he said.

Don’t just buy them, learn how to use them, learn how to clean them, know how to sight them in and practice breathing for accurate shooting! Owning a firearm without knowledge is like driving blind!
If you waited till now to buy, you’re way late to the party.
Wrong. Guns are out there to be bought. Too late? Come on man.
You just need to know the right time, place, and person with an FFL. In a high demand environment the premiums are going to rise for certain specific items, but if you know how to compromise and modify expectations you can make out.
If you’re living in Libtard LaLa-Land like I am it would seem you’re S.O.L., but even then there are alternatives. The most radical one is relocation elsewhere, and the last resort is potentially illegal, something I won’t go into here. If you have to move, DO it. Not only will it ease your mind it will deprive the Statists of money and contribute to killing the taxbase they depend on.
IL and NJ are just two examples of states operating on borrowed time. They’re probably going to extend the lockdowns in order to justify asking for bailouts resulting from crappy fiscal policies.
Trump hates Pritzker. Illinois isn’t going to get squat. Nor should it. Trump recently said 48 of the governors are doing a good job and the other two are idiots. Pritzker was one of the two. Dazzling incompetence. Add in Dickhead Durbin and Tammy Duckbutt and it is a no go.
We’re all MAGAdishu now.
I don’t know. Buying guns is like planting a tree. The best time was 20 years ago. The next best time is today!
This video is seven years old… but after listening to it I can’t help but be amazed at how prescient this woman’s analysis was way back when…

Brace for impact!
The Bunger and Muffit investment plan is leaving out one big item after they suffered their recent writedown. They will be sitting on a big-ass pile of inflation-ridden cash waiting for the next Big Drop to pile back in.
The One Big Item they aren’t going to buy in order to lock in gains is GOLD.
I hope those old insiders lose their asses during this go-around.
Don’t count the old dudes out. Buffet always pooh poohs precious metals, yet guess who supplied the mass quantity of Silver used to initiate the SLV etf? Buffet.
I own gold, but in the internet age, hyperinflation could be very short lived.
since the dollar is fiat debt, deflation is inevitable.
People who live in glass shit-houses should not talk diarrhea.
Just because John is bat-$hit crazy doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
I’m with gatsby about being late…..
It’s only too late if your only source of a weapon is to try to take it from somebody crashing through your door.
Yep,John is a crazy/paranoid prepper type.
Hmmmmm…..,seeing how things are turning does not seem like such a bad idea.
Folks used to kid me about being a prepper type,now,they are asking for advice and can say seems they are listening and doing their best to give themselves a better shot as things go from mildly bad to very bad.
While definitely starting late till the final shoe drops folks new to this way of thinking can get better prepared,so,if you are new to this ,get going,you can do it!
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
I didn’t need this whack job to tell me I was right all along but it is nice to have confirmation.
Here, to explain it all, is a horse race…
Well,this was depressing and yet nice.While sitting on porch at house have a rolled smoke and coffee saw a line of about 25 cars decorated with balloons and pictures of a young lady about 6.I realized is what I had heard of but never seen,a drive by birthday for the young lady.The cars full of kids who I am sure would rather play/run around ect. and have a real birthday party,not a quick drive by but guess is better then nothing,the young lady seems to have a lot of friends at least.
So”Happy Birthday Gina!”
Around here they’re getting police escorts for birthday caravans, too.
During Passover-Easter the cops were blaring sirens, driving “The Easter Bunny” around the township’s subdivisions.
Celebratory gunfire is obviously out of the question in NJ.
this is a great rant by tucker carlson about pols becoming too powerful–
even if you don’t want to watch all 14 minutes,go to about the 2:00 minute mark–2 cops are hectoring a mom b/c she allowed her daughter to have a play date–

How can you be sure it wasn’t a funeral procession?
Even this guy who is obviously high as a kite can see what’s happening better than most people.
I wonder what the future will bring when the food shortages become apparent to the average person who is asleep right now. it’s going to get worse.
Somebody’s going to make bucks arbitraging ethanol corn into tortilla corn.
Can money printing fill the void of an increase in productive efficiency?
Obviously, NO.
Printing more paper isn’t going to solve an economic problem when there’s no money velocity in the system. Printing increases liquidity in the system, but with banks withdrawing credit in a lockdown environment this eventually leads to inflation. Demand will not cease and will lead to price markups as shortages emerge.
The following is JUST a thought experiment.
Let’s say productivity increases and puts lots of people out of work. We still have the needed products being able to be made but people don’t have money. In order for the producers to meet debt repayment requirements, people need money but have no jobs, no gardens and no ability to live outside of the system. What do we do?
WE grovel and submit to home inspections, surrender guns and ammo, and submit to leathal vaccinations is what we do.
Remember the story of the 7 fat and 7 lean years? In the lean years the people gradualy traded their cattle and land for food. In year #7 the demanded that Pharaoh take themselves as slaves in exchange for some grain.
“no jobs, no gardens and no ability to live outside of the system. What do we do?”
be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water (old jewish prosaic description of conquered slaves).
Regs won’t allow it. So solly
the only regs they care about is the talmud. “the silver is mine and the gold is mine.” “the nation that will not serve you shall be destroyed.” “they will bow with their faces to the ground and lick the dust of your feet.”
Every new unit of fiat represents theft of the assets of all holders. The printer gets Ron Paul’s “first use” with which the printer uses the fiat to purchase at today’s price upon which after being introduced into the system represents devaluation of everyone else’s fiat.
With this wild creation of fiat due to this crisis, those with large cash hoards are being plucked. Fools who sold all their stocks, sold what will be appreciating (due to fiat creation if nothing else) assets and can maintain worth or value regardless of whatever monetary regime comes along and keeps the dividend income stream. The sellers paid sales fees, lost any dividend income stream and may have had to pay capital gains taxes.
“Every new unit of fiat represents theft of the assets of all holders”
spot on, and the core of it all. once you understand that, and who it is that’s doing it and why, it all falls into place.

re first user.
For that same reason it is a stealth world tax. The reason for the very life of the Petro Shekel.
for the first receivers of the new money, certainly. that’s the whole point. like li’l pooh says, “you can eat all the meat you want – if you can afford it.” and the money printers and their preferred dealers can ALWAYS afford it.
Is that greed or envy?
like I explained before, neither. to them, it’s nothing more than the way it should be.
“your neighbors are going to take it because your neighbors have the guns”
this always has been most people’s plan.
also when you realize it’s not a matter of merely having guns, but of who shoots first … well it becomes obvious what’s going to happen.
and that has always been the plan of the sociopathic right.
Do you feel comfortable here? Usually that’s the reason people keep visiting a place, but you seem to have a deep dislike for almost everyone here and everything they believe in. I can’t help but wonder what would motivate you to keep coming back to a place where you have nothing on common with the rest of the posters.
Serious question, no disrespect intended, but what do you get out of this?
“Do you feel comfortable here?”
does the term “sociopathic right” push a button? the term occurred to me after about three months of visiting this blog and reading some ( … nod) many of the opinions here.
“you seem to have a deep dislike for almost everyone here and everything they believe in”
we can let the readers decide that for themselves. in any case the frequent posters are not the only ones “here” – usually I write with those others in mind.
(‘least I assume there are others. once I asked “admin” how many unique visits the blog had. most are happy to share such info (if it’s any significant amount), but all I got was a downvote. so perhaps this really is a “saloon” (YES I KNOW IT’S NOT A REAL SALOON) with a bunch of regulars who hang out in their private therapy club, but I’m kind of thinking it’s a bit more than that.)
(looking at the downvotes) … or maybe it’s not more than that ….
admin has posted the # of daily visitors in the past–i seem to recall that 14,000 was either the unique weekly or daily visitor count–
“14,000”
ah, thanks.
the general rule is that for every person you hear from, there are 40 more who think the same but say nothing. most bloggers aren’t interested in total hits, they’re interested in unique hits, so 14000 unique hits per week sounds more relevant – except that would make this blog a very quite one. I wonder which it is. anyway, thanks for the number.
The site averages 26,000 page views per day. Why do you want to know?
Sigh..
