Three Key Takeaways:
- In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s secretive venture capital arm, has now made 800 investments—more than doubling its portfolio in just eight years—raising serious concerns about unchecked surveillance and government overreach into the private tech sector.
- Funded by taxpayer dollars yet shielded from public scrutiny, In-Q-Tel hides many of its investments under “national security” pretexts, while funneling money into AI detection tools and massive data storage systems that could be used for censorship or intrusive data collection.
- The agency’s growing influence reflects a broader Deep State agenda prioritizing technological dominance and global power, often at the expense of transparency, accountability, and civil liberties.
Deep State operatives are spending your tax dollars behind the scenes.
The money trail leads directly to some shocking destinations.
And the Deep State just hit a milestone that should terrify every American patriot.
The shadowy world of CIA venture capital reaches 800 investments
While most Americans have never heard of it, a secretive venture capital firm called In-Q-Tel has been quietly operating as the CIA’s investment arm for over two decades.
This week, the organization announced it had reached its 800th investment – a staggering number that reveals just how deep the intelligence community’s tentacles reach into the private sector.
“For 26 years, IQT has been a critical bridge, connecting the cutting-edge capabilities of the private sector with the ever-evolving needs of our intelligence and defense communities,” the company boasted in a statement that seemed designed to downplay the concerning implications.
The organization described reaching 800 investments as a “monumental achievement” – but they failed to mention the monumental questions this raises about government overreach and surveillance capabilities.
What’s particularly alarming is how rapidly these investments have accelerated. Just eight years ago, In-Q-Tel had made approximately 325 investments. That number has now more than doubled.
And Americans are left in the dark about where much of this money is going.
Secret spending with zero accountability
The CIA-chartered firm operates as a “private, nonprofit venture capital fund” – a clever classification that allows it to avoid much of the scrutiny that would come with being labeled a direct government agency.
Yet make no mistake – this organization receives federal funding through Congress, meaning your tax dollars are fueling these investments whether you like it or not.
Even more troubling is that hundreds of In-Q-Tel’s investments remain completely secret, hidden from public view under the convenient umbrella of “national security concerns.”
When an organization with ties to intelligence agencies can funnel money to private companies with little oversight, Americans should be deeply concerned about where those dollars are actually going.
Artificial intelligence and data storage in focus
The investments we do know about paint a picture of an intelligence community laser-focused on enhancing surveillance capabilities.
Among In-Q-Tel’s latest investments is GetReal Security, a California company developing AI detection systems supposedly designed to identify deepfakes and “other deceptive methods.”
While this might sound beneficial on the surface, such technology could easily be repurposed to monitor and flag content the government deems “deceptive” – opening the door to censorship of information that challenges official narratives.
Another recent investment went to Cerabyte, a German firm creating advanced ceramic-based data storage systems. The CIA’s interest in massive data storage capabilities should raise red flags for anyone concerned about government collection and retention of private information.
The Deep State expands its reach
In-Q-Tel’s President and CEO Steve Bowsher revealed the organization’s true mindset in a statement last year, declaring: “The United States needs to stay at the cutting edge of those technologies in order to remain the preeminent economic and security power.”
This statement exposes the real agenda – not protecting average Americans, but ensuring the intelligence establishment maintains its global power and technological dominance.
The accelerating pace of these investments comes at a time when the Deep State has repeatedly shown its willingness to target American citizens and undermine elected officials who threaten their power structure.
