The notion of privacy is your April Fool’s joke
It’s April Fool’s today and by now, perhaps you have witnessed your share of pranks, fake stories, and hoaxes. I can think of a number of funny April Fool’s stories over the years, but new ones seem to be fading. At one time, hoaxes that were foisted upon the people seemed to have a greater ...
John McAfee – Taking on an invisible digital army
It is difficult for me to reconcile the virtual pass that China’s government has enjoyed within our culture and the very real cyber threats we face today.

John McAfee challenges presidential candidates to put America first
America is today faced with incredible threats and challenges coupled with an inexcusable lack of servant leadership.

Video: Is 2016 the year that electronic currency challenges government?

It is shocking that despite all of the movement and growth within the electronic currency movement, we have heard nary a whisper about this topic within ...
Technology, self-indulgence, and the debt of security
What will become of our world in the years ahead? One can never really be sure, but history has shown us that principles and integrity we value most cannot be lost to the ages, or we will perish as a people. This is a part of the human history. There is comfort in the notions ...
