Wall Street Apes on Silicon Valley: “How Deep Does The Web Of Corruption & Deception Go? The CIA …”

How Deep Does The Web Of Corruption & Deception Go? The CIA created and funded a venture capital company called ‘In-Q-Tel’ In-Q-Tel provided funding for: - Apple - Facebook - Google - Amazon Through In-Q-Tel , the CIA provides early-stage equity funding to companies building technology that might prove useful to intelligence agencies. KPMG “it's evident that the intelligence community's research funding helped not only Google but Silicon Valley as a whole” In-Q-Tel: In 1999, at the peak of the dot-com boom, the CIA launched In-Q-Tel, a Silicon Valley venture capital fund with a mission to invest in startups that aligned with the intelligence agency’s needs. The Google History Crash Course: In 1994, two Ph.D. students Sergey Brin and Larry Page began working on their automated web crawling and page ranking application as part of their research project they had bet on making the exploding Internet easy to access and it paid off enormously. Sergey Brin's part of the Stanford Research was funded by the NSA and CIA. At some point, Sergey Brin (one of the co-founders of Google) reported the progress to the representatives of the US Intelligence Agencies. GOOGLE EARTH had CIA Investment: In 2003 the CIA through In-Q-Tel would invest in Keyhole. Keyhole was a startup that built 3-D global mapping software one of its first uses was to support US troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom the campaign to overthrow Saddam Hussein. In the following year, Google bought keyhole whose team now included CIA personnel Google would soon turn keyhole into the basis for Google Earth. Only a year after the purchase the director responsible for initially investing in keyhole at the CIA investing firm In-Q-Tel, moved to take a position at Google. During this period Google would win contracts for different search applications for the NSA and CIA. GOOGLE and NSA: Google federal was launched in 2006 and its purpose is to serve federal contracts at a certain point this branch of Google had so many former NSA staff that they became known as the NSA West. When there was hackers threat from China and other countries, journalists quote, ‘Google agreed to provide information about traffic on its networks in exchange for the intelligence from the NSA about what it knew your foreign hackers.’ While both Google and the intelligence community deny that the CIA directly funded the start of Google it's evident that the intelligence community's research funding helped not only Google but Silicon Valley as a whole.
