YOUR MISSION, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT
Instead of filtering or demanding, "You must go back.", we motivate them to push memes AND side-by-side graphics on social media.

Good to see this mission has already being assigned. Well done, fellow Patriot. I shall return to my digging aka months long sleep deprivation.

CIA’s Venture Capital Arm Is Funding Skin Care Products That Collect DNA
Skincential Science’s noninvasive procedure, described on the Clearista website as “painless,” is said to require only water, a special detergent, and a few brushes against the skin, making it a convenient option for restoring the glow of a youthful complexion — and a novel technique for gathering information about a person’s biochemistry.
In-Q-Tel, founded in 1999 by then-CIA Director George Tenet, identifies cutting-edge technology to support the mission of the CIA and other intelligence agencies, and provides venture funding to help grow tech firms to develop those solutions.

>(sorry if this has already been brought up but it's def. on my WTF scale)
How Peter Thiel’s company Palantir was built with CIA funding and has helped the likes of the NSA and GCHQ spy since its inception
- Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel in 2004, is a Silicon Valley software company
- Its clientele includes US intelligence agencies, military, and law enforcement
- The company produces software that mines vast amounts of data
- New report says it was founded with the help of the CIA
It has now been learned that Palantir was helped along in the early days by In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital branch, which was one of the first investors in the company.
Palantir also collaborated with the NSA in expanding its global spy network, the extent of which was revealed in the trove of documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

“Threats,” “Ultimatums,” and “Espionage”: Inside Silicon Valley’s Spy Wars
Now, in the wake of the cyber-hacking that undergirded Brexit and the 2016 U.S. election, some in Silicon Valley are wondering if protecting their servers from outside intruders could have driven spies to get in the old-fashioned way: by working inside big tech companies for more nefarious purposes than stock options. Why would the Chinese or Russian governments finance billions of dollars in R&D when they could just persuade an operative to plug a computer into an unprotected network and siphon sensitive data out for the cost of an airline flight? What better way to understand how to get around the defenses put in place by Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube than to have a mole inside the company, snooping through the code, attending meetings, or even designing the very systems they are taking advantage of?
The C.I.A., N.S.A., F.B.I., and H.S.I. can all benefit from knowing the inner workings of a company like Twitter, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or Amazon. In the late 90s, the C.I.A. funded its own venture firm in Menlo Park called In-Q-Tel, with the hope that investing in tech companies could help the agency gain access to cutting-edge technologies that might be useful for national intelligence. (The “Q” was a reference to the fictional James Bond “Q Branch,” which was a fictive research-and-development division of the British Secret Service.) But after the dot-com bust and 9/11, the division changed course—at least as far as we know. These days, company agendas and politics have made collaboration fraught. After information was released in the Edward Snowden reports, Apple refused to help the F.B.I. break into the iPhone’s encryption software. The N.S.A. has been unable to gain access to private information about the browsing or social-media habits of certain Americans or foreign nationals. What better way to solve these problems than having an agent walk in through the front door and just take them?

In-Q-Tel, CIA's Venture Arm, Invests in Secrets
Born from the CIA's recognition that it wasn't able to acquire all the technology it needed from its own labs and think tanks, In-Q-Tel was engineered with a bundle of contradictions built in. It is independent of the CIA, yet answers wholly to it. It is a nonprofit, yet its employees can profit, sometimes handsomely, from its work. It functions in public, but its products are strictly secret.
Over the years, some critics have dismissed In-Q-Tel as a government boondoggle. They have described the firms it invests in ominously as "CIA-backed," as if they were phony companies serving as cover for spy capers.
But in interviews with more than a dozen current and former CIA officials, congressional aides, venture capitalists that have worked with it and executives who have benefited from it, no one disputed that what began as an experiment in transferring private-sector technology into the CIA is working as intended. The Army, NASA and other intelligence and defense agencies have, or are planning, their own "venture capital" efforts based on the In-Q-Tel model.
"On a scale from one to 10, I would give it an 11," said A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard , the CIA's former No. 3 official and a former investment banker. "It's done so well even Congress is taking credit for it."
Yet In-Q-Tel remains an experiment that even its most ardent backers say has yet to prove its full potential.
"In my view the organization has been far more successful than I dreamed it would be," said Norman R. Augustine , who was recruited in 1998 by Krongard and George J. Tenet, who then was director of central intelligence, to help set up In-Q-Tel. Augustine, former chief executive of defense giant Lockheed Martin, is an In-Q-Tel trustee. "But my view is also that it's still an unproved experiment."
