Facebook it belong to the CIA?

The mainstream media celebrated Mark Zuckerberg as a child prodigy who at the age of 23, was turned into multimillion multimillionaire thanks to the success of Facebook, but they have not paid attention to "capital investment risk "of more than 40 million dollars made by the CIA to develop the social network.

When the speculative frenzy of Wall Street led to believe unwary that the value of Facebook would increase to 15 million dollars, Zuckerberg in 2008 became the billionaire "who happened by itself" the youngest in the history of the "ranking "by Forbes magazine, with 1500 million.

"The most recent financing round was led by Facebook a financial company called Greylock Venture Capital, which has 27.5 million dollars," says Hodgkinson. “ Le plus récent tour de financement de Facebook fut conduite par une compagnie financière appelée Greylock Venture Capital, qui a mis 27,5 millions de dollars ” a écrit Hodgkinson. "One of the largest partner with Greylock called Howard Cox, who is another former president of NVCA, which is also in the Board of In-Q-Tel. “ Un des plus grands associés de Greylock s'appelle Howard Cox, qui est un autre ex-président de NVCA qui est aussi dans le conseil de direction de In-Q-Tel ”.

"And In-Q-Tel is it?" Hodgkinson asks, "Well, believe it or not (and check on its website) is a capital fund to risk the CIA. “ Et In-Q-Tel c'est quoi ? ”  se demande Hodgkinson, “ Bon, croyez-le ou pas (et vérifiez sur son site web) c'est un fond de capital à risque de la CIA ”. Founded in 1999, its mission is "to identify and partner with companies that are currently developing new technologies to help provide solutions to the Central Agency of Investigation". Crée en 1999, sa mission est “ d'identifier et de s'associer à des sociétés qui sont en train de développer de nouvelles technologies pour aider à apporter des solutions à l'Agence Centrale d'Investigation ”. 


The web page of In-Q-Tel  recommended by Hodgkinson is very explicit: "In 1998, the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) identified technology as a strategic property than attached directly to the progress of the Agency future technologies to improve its basic missions, compilation and analysis. La page web de In-Q-Tel (4) recommandée par Hodgkinson est très explicite: “ En 1998, le Directeur d'Intelligence Central (DCI) identifia la technologie comme une propriété stratégique supérieure, directement connectée aux progrès de l'Agence dans les futures technologies pour améliorer ses missions de base, de compilation et d'analyse. The officers of the Directorate of Science and Technology have developed a radical plan to create a new company that would help increase access for the Agency to private sector innovation. Les dirigeants de la Direction de Science et Technologie ont élaboré un plan radical pour créer une nouvelle entreprise qui aiderait à accroître l'accès de l'Agence à l'innovation du secteur privé ”. Even adding water that could not be more clear, "said Hodgkinson. Même en ajoutant de l'eau cela ne pourrait être plus clair, dit Hodgkinson.
