\n “Belize is so raw and so clear and so in your face, there’s an opportunity to see something about human nature that you can’t really see in a politer society, because the purpose of society is to mask ourselves from each other,” McAfee said. The jungle, in other words, would give him the chance to find out exactly who he was.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nInsane Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n A 17 year old Belizean prostitute he was living with tried to kill him by shooting him in his sleep. She fired and missed, shooting a pillow next to McAfee. He leapt out of bed before she could fire another shot and grabbed the gun before furiously saying that he was going to take away her phone and television for a month. “But I didn’t even kill you!” she shouted back.<\/li>\n McAfee purchased a cement house, installed floor-to-ceiling iron bars, imported M16’s and stun guns, and hired the first police force ever in Carmelita, Belize. Prior to his arrival, the city was a gang-run and lawless. He played sheriff, too.<\/li>\n When his neighbor was found dead with a single 9mm gunshot wound to the back of the head, authorities came looking for McAfee to question him. When he heard them coming, he got paranoid and buried himself in the sand, leaving only a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe. He sat there motionless for hours until they left, and then fled.<\/li>\n McAfee’s hired 10 bodyguards to defend him by patrolling his compound in Belize 24\/7, armed with automatic weapons. When visitors visited him, he gave them shotguns “in case shit went down”. Did I mention he was a spiritual guru and previously published three books about yoga?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOverall this is a well-written, unbelievable true story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
