21 Tech Firms Unconstitutionally Funded By CIA-Front Group In-Q-Tel

It has long been known that the Central Intelligence Agency sets up front groups and invests your money, America, to work against you.  Among the companies it invests in are over a dozen that are hard at work gathering information through technology and the internet about virtually everyone on the planet, including law-abiding Americans.

The CIA is investing in these intelligence research companies through its front group, In-Q-Tel, who also invested large sums of money in a little company called Keyhole, but you know and probably used one of their projects, Google Earth.

However, what else have they invested in?

The list is long and you might actually be surprised at what technology is being funded with your tax dollars that will ultimately be used against you.

The bigger question one must ask is, where is the constitutional authority for any of this?  Where did we give DC the authority to take our money and invest it in businesses, especially those that will ultimately be used to gather information on us?  Answer:  Nowhere did we authorize Congress to invest in such things and nowhere is the Executive Branch authorized to spend money on such things.

Here’s a list of 25 companies being funded with your tax dollars, courtesy of the CIA.

All of these can be found on the In-Q-Tel website, along with others.
