WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Antivirus software pioneer John McAfee has filed the paperwork needed to run for president, though his party affiliation has yet to be revealed. Kyle Sandler, one of McAfee's campaign directors, confirmed to The Hill that McAfee filed the paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. Though his party name and platform have yet to be announced, McAfee, 69, has expressed his belief that the federal government is "illiterate" about the technology dominating peoples' everyday lives, from smartphones to military hardware. He describes himself on Twitter as "an eccentric millionaire" who is "still alive." An official announcement about his candidacy was scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. EDT Wednesday. McAfee's antivirus software company, McAfee, was founded in the 1980s and purchased by Intel in 2010. McAfee is no longer affiliated with the company. Since then, McAfee has faced a number of legal problems. In 2012, he was reported fleeing his home in Belize after authorities sought to question him about the death of his neighbor. He was considered a person of interest by authorities but not a suspect in the murder. He was also detained in Guatemala in 2012 on the suspicion he had entered the country illegally while fleeing from Belize. He was deported to the United States. shortly thereafter. McAfee was on the run until 2014, when he settled in Tennessee with his wife Janice. There he opened an incubator on the Alabama-Georgia border and occasionally spoke at tech conferences. While in Tennessee, though, McAfee was arrested for driving and possessing a handgun under the influence. Dean Barrow, Belize's prime minister then and now, described the ex-fugitive McAfee as "extremely paranoid."

I'll be interested in seeing more about him. He may be a breath of fresh air.
I wouldn't want to inhale the air within 6-ft of him LoL!!!! While in Tennessee, though, McAfee was arrested for driving and possessing a handgun under the influence. Dean Barrow, Belize's prime minister then and now, described the ex-fugitive McAfee as "extremely paranoid."

I like John a lot; he's lived life on his terms and pretty much won. As potus, why not, but it's not gonna happen.

Well, that settles it. I won't vote for anyone with tattoos.

There's gotta be a constituency for a white guy billionaire who smokes and is married to a black woman, I'd think...

Tell me the truth -- do you hate tattoos as much as I do? I.e. totally, weird piercings ditto.

This guy's a wild card all right. Page gets freakier by the minute but leaves with no clue as to his politics:

An old friend when he saw those lip, nose, eyebrows piercings would ask the individual if they got their face stuck in a fish tackle box. I.e. totally, weird piercings ditto.

In this digital age more people can relate to him than any of the other GOP hopefuls. May come up with a firewall to keep the Zionist virus out of US government. Up to McAfee's announcement the Merlin timetraking, future forecasting duo (on C2C) clearly saw none of GOP wannabes getting the nomination: Candidate Timetraks/ Weather Modification Date: Tuesday - September 8, 2015 Host: George Noory Guests: Paul Guercio, George Hart, Scott Stevens In the first half, futurist Paul Guercio and physicist Dr. George Hart, who developed a software-based forecasting technology called the Merlin Project, shared their timetraks (Merlin's graphical snapshots) of the crowded field of US presidential candidates in the 2016 race. Based on a starting date (in the case of a person – their birth), the timetraks graph out periods of cyclical intervals, showing peak activity, as well as lulls. Surprisingly, most of the candidates' timetraks do not show a great deal of activity during this time frame. Hart noted that this was an unusual election cycle, a populist stage on both sides, and the end of a 72-year cycle, when there's typically a big turnover. While Biden showed high activity spikes in the years 2007-2012, his chart is flat now, and Hillary's timetrak doesn't pick up until after 2017. Two Democrats with stronger charts in this cycle are Andrew Cuomo (who has not declared his candidacy) and Bernie Sanders, who has the highest peaks of any candidate, but perhaps is unlikely to succeed because of his 'Socialist' status, said Guercio. Carly Fiorina has the best cycle of the Republicans, which may indicate she could be the VP candidate. Both Donald Trump and particularly Jeb Bush have low activity in this cycle. Guercio predicted that Hillary will falter, and Mark O'Malley and Andrew Cuomo will be the Democratic ticket, while Hart foresees Trump and Fiorina on the Republican side.
