When information is commonly censored, as it demonstrably is today, it's hard to determine what is disinformation, and what is reliable reporting. I do personally recall he had made his prediction differently than he now claims it was. There was no little laughing about the matter when the due date came and went. Whether or not it's a factual matter is up for debate.

I don't trust McAfee to honestly report facts, particularly not if honesty in the matter will either cost him important appendages, or public ridicule.

YMMV.
