In-Q-Tel bank rolls Facebook so we all make it easy for the CIA/government to spy on us. Reading the Maggie Burns link in Rappoports article is also interesting... There is much to say about Krongard (search articles re insider trading just before 9/11). Here I would point out he was a moving force, along with CIA Director George Tenet and Norm Augustine (Lockheed Martin), in creating In-Q-Tel, a CIA front company designed to fund new technologies in the private sector. In-Q-Tel bankrolls the development of these technologies so the US intelligence community can turn around and utilize them. How did a little start-up called Facebook get its bankroll? Jim Breyer, head of Accel, attached a $13 million rocket to it, and nothing has ever been the same. Earlier that same year (2004), a man named Gilman Louie joined the board of the National Venture Capital Association of America (NVCA). The chairman of NVCA? Jim Breyer. Gilman Louie happened to be the first CEO of In-Q-Tel. That’s not the only connection between Jim Breyer and the CIA’s man, Gilman Louie. In 2004, Louie went to work for BBN Technologies, headed up by Breyer. Dr. Anita Jones also joined BBN at that time. Jones had worked for In-Q-Tel and was an adviser to DARPA, the Pentagon’s technology department that helped develop the Internet. Just to add another thread to the spider web, who is the 4th largest shareholder in Deutsche Bank today? The Vanguard Group. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is what “they’re well-connected” means. In the world of investment funding and shareholding, it’s about connections.
