a genius discovery that has the great potential to be seriously misused as it could fuel a cyberwar escalation

John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate who fled Belize after police tried to question him for murder, confirmed to CNNMoney that he plans to run for President in 2016 and that he'd created his own party -- the Cyber Party.

Forget the tin foil hat: NSA-proof wallpaper could keep snoopers and 'doomsday' electromagnetic weapons at bay
New flexible material can block electronic emission
Blocks signals that could be used for cybersnooping
Can also block electromagnetic 'doomsday' weapons
Could be used to protect drones flying in enemy territory
Controversial tech boss and presidential candidate John McAfee recently warned a 'doomsday' electronic weapon could wipe out 90% of Americans and urged politicians to is the number one threat facing the country.

wrote in a blog for International Business Times: 'Experts agree that an all out cyber attack, beginning with an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack on our electronic infrastructure, would wipe out 90% of the human population of this country within two years of the attack.
WHAT IS A FARADAY CAGE?
The 'Faraday cage' is named for the English scientist Michael Faraday, who discovered the principles behind electromagnetic shielding.
When electromagnetic radiation or static electricity is applied to a hollow conductor, it is transmitted over the surface of the conductor—preventing it from passing through the conductor's interior.
A Faraday cage prevents electromagnetic radiation from penetrating its exterior, protecting whatever is inside from static, electromagnetic pulses, radio waves, and other electromagnetic phenomenon.
In 2013, as the College of Cardinals convened to elect a new Pope, the Vatican's Sistine Chapel was converted into a Faraday cage so that news of the election couldn't leak out.
That’s why the media has been referring to this technology as “NSA-proof wallpaper.” It has the potential to give the average person the same anti-surveillance technology that was previously only cost-effective for governments. Someday soon, turning your house into an EMP-proof, counter-surveillance bunker, may be no more difficult nor any more expensive than a home makeover..........
He hit out at President Obama's focus on gun control.
On 2 October, President Obama declared: 'Here's what you need to do: You have to make sure that anybody that you are voting for is on the right side of this issue.'
If politicians oppose these measures, he continued, 'even if they're great on other stuff, you've got to vote against them.'
McAfee said he was initially confused by the statement.
'Frantically searching again for my benzodiazepines, and certain that rabid squirrels would imminently emerge from my wristwatch and form a tribunal accusing me of crimes against humanity, a saving thought flashed into my mind: What if the president is right? Could this simplification be the salvation of this long-suffering nation?'
