In a democracy, power is given not taken. But it is still power. Love, compassion, caring have no use for it. But it is fuel for greed, hostility, jealousy... All power corrupts. Take care which powers you allow a democracy to wield.

The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association. I have nothing. Yet, I regret nothing.
There is much sorrow in prison, disguised as hostility. The sorrow is plainly visible even in the most angry faces. I'm old and content with food and a bed but for the young prison is a horror - a reflection of the minds of those who conceived them.
I discussed in my last tech tweet https://t.co/VxlUMZn2db how foreign agents using social engineering can be inserted into operating systems departments as software engineers. Far more important is placing development managers into such departments. Here's how its done: https://t.co/y84j6P8H2q

I have a million followers but I'd be surprised if even 1% bother to read my tweets. Ramblings of an old man lost in a near infinite Twitter verse - like tears in rain. As you may guess I'm having a down day.
Now its Jeff Bezos. If space travel improves and becomes fashionable perhaps we can abandon the planet we have so thoroughly mangled and seek fresh ones to trash.
In my last tweet I explained the virtual impossibility of identifying backdoors or other malicious code developed by a foreign agent in the guise of a software engineer. I will now explain the process of embedding these agents into targeted companies. https://t.co/z0Ztuq3ApT

Iran's centrifuge project was destroyed by hidden code in spite of thorough system auditing and security procedures. How is this possible? I'll explain using an example and I'm challenging every covert agency to disprove the validity of this explanation. https://t.co/PoSqhBY4X6

The intelligence of our electronic means of communication are evolving millions of times faster than the biological evolution of our brains. Soon our smartphones will have no need of us - mere appendages wasting valuable CPU cycles for utter trivialities.
Our government, in virtual secrecy, decides the course of our lives. We are not consulted. "Protecting national secrets". But there no "secret" national secrets. Hacking now far exceeds the power of data protection. "Secrets" is an obsolete term.
Governments spy on other governments. They spy on their own citizens. The departments within each government spy on the other. We live in an age of suspicion. Its only a matter of time before neighbors spy on neighbors. And children spy on their parents.
Love has no object. It is a state of being.
Today a man facing a difficult situation asked if I knew of painless ways to kill himself. Having little experience in such, I was of not much help. The amazing thing is that the tone of the discussion was like discussing the weather. Prison is a strange environment.
Addendum: The same concept of sequential XOR operations works with four data sets requiring three iterations and five data sets with two iterations. Strangely with six sets, the process unravels and produces chaos no matter how many iterations. Please God, someone explain.
This tweet might interest my software engineer followers. In my years as a programmer I observed numerous anomalies that may have practical applications. Since I'm getting no younger I thought I'd begin passing them on. The first, involving an anomaly with boolean algebra. https://t.co/E4VsQMwFbS

.@SemPrigoda. Your father, Aleksei, is with me in a Spanish prison. I'm fighting extradition to the US. He's fighting extradition to Russia. He faces a future more brutal than my own yet he's consistently comforting and courageous. You should be proud of him. He is proud of you.
I can see a small piece of sky above the tall concrete walls of the prison yard. The walls seem to frame, in contrast, the deep blue sky and the fluffy clouds drifting through it. It turns this tiny sky window into a jewel of extraordinary beauty.
When I was young I was in love. Many times. Or I thought so. The more powerful. The more fire. The faster it burned out. I confused love with need, sex, security, comfort. But it is none of these. Almost nine years with @theemrsmcafee. I love you baby.
Three years ago I predicted a war between governments and crypto. The FED now calls crypto a threat to economic stability and China is outlawing it. The war is on and I am a major target. Do not be afraid. Crypto is our last hope for financial independence. https://t.co/0nDLU4zCEP
I once had everything. After uncountable lawsuits and the reach of the FED's I now have nothing. But inside these prison bars I have never felt more free. The things you believe you own, in reality own you.
Bill Gates is sued for divorce because of multiple affairs and hanging with the Jeffrey Epstein crowd?? Surely this is a joke. Bill makes Mark Zuckerberg look like a sex god.
If there really are aliens watching us they must be mystified as hell.
Top of the list of useless body parts: nipples on men.
There are over 5 million land dwelling species. Forget the cubit miles of Ark required to contain 2 of each. The problem is the sloths. Moving at 0.01 mph it would take over 100 years to reach the Ark from their native habitat. The sloths are the problem.
Peace in the Middle East? Bicycles for fish will happen first.
