John McAfee speaking at the 2016 Libertarian National Convention asks delegates to get real about White House chances and support grass-roots candidates in local elections.
"What can one man do in the Oval Office against a tornado, a tsunami of corruption without the grass-roots? Nothing. Nothing. Don't delude yourselves."
I'll have more to say on my friend John McAfee's legacy at some point after this all settles down. But I wanted to share something with those that are reading headlines today and coming to this page for whatever reason. Also, friends and fam that just knew we were close with John but never met him. This is the only version of this John Mcafee speech that I know of to exist. Despite running everything else by me, on this one, he wouldn't even tell me what he was going to say at the 2016 Libertarian National Convention floor.
After we had spent months busting through his digital Rolodex to invite every media asset to the convention (surprise: Gary Johnson wasn't the main attraction). He wanted all eyes on this message, and for freedom-loving people of all stripes to take grassroots civic action to protect their liberties. John asked me to trust him to speak his mind and heart, and he did. Agree with him or not, he spoke fearlessly and with genuine conviction. We could all follow that example, no matter what we're discussing or doing in life.
McAfee didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk. He was the freest mind and spirit. Fearless, complicated, Machiavellian. He gave me a lot of advice in the years we worked together. His most insightful gem: never trust the media.
