I just don't even know what to say anymore, how corrupt is our government when the CIA is a Venture Capital Firm? If this doesn't explain the concept of a break away civilization nothing does. What happens to the profit all of their projects? Who has the books? I can't image Congress knows about this if they don't now. SO what do they do with all the DNA they are collecting? Better yet why are they collecting it? If DNA is a individual bio marker specific to that individual what are they looking for?
DNA extraction the key phrase that will dog the next generation of americans. An ultra secret spy agency with a out in the open funding source for high tech projects just rings bad for the public. This has to be proof of that. The total lack of oversight of this is dangerous. THis article is much longer but covers nothing more than existing companies they have done business with where you can see some of the scary ideas available. Interesting Google Earth was a CIA funded project. This requires further research.

"SKINCENTIAL SCIENCES, a company with an innovative line of cosmetic products marketed as a way to erase blemishes and soften skin, has caught the attention of beauty bloggers on YouTube, Oprah’s lifestyle magazine, and celebrity skin care professionals. Documents obtained by The Intercept reveal that the firm has also attracted interest and funding from In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the Central Intelligence Agency."

"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.
“Our company is an outlier for In-Q-Tel,” Russ Lebovitz, the chief executive of Skincential Sciences, said during an interview with The Intercept. He conceded that the relationship might make for “an unusual and interesting story,” but said, “If there’s something beneath the surface, that’s not part of our relationship and I’m not directly aware. They’re interested here in something that can get easy access to biomarkers.”
Still, Lebovitz claimed he has limited knowledge of why In-Q-Tel selected his firm.
“I can’t tell you how everyone works with In-Q-Tel, but they are very interested in doing things that are pure science,” Lebovitz said. The CIA fund approached his company, telling him the fund shares an interest in looking at DNA extraction using the method pioneered by Skincential Sciences, according to Lebovitz.
