For decades, the CIA read the encrypted communications of allies and adversaries.

Wanna bet the CIA is doing this and more now? Wonder why they are so close to google, facebook, apple, etc and why they are so worried that the Chinese are getting into the act with their 5g company huewai (sp?)

I’ve read that Silicon Valley is owned by the CIA essentially. Yes - they do harvest and share our info. People like Bezos and Zuckerberg aren’t’ geniuses who invented great things - they are puppets set in front of the public as fronts to software developed by DARPA and coordinated, accessed by CIA to work against the American people and against countries they work to over throw. :(

The CIA owned, and probably still does own, quite a few companies that were started for “cover” but don’t necessarily have anything to do with spycraft. Some of them they kept around simply because the company turned out to be very profitable, and the CIA can use that money to fund “black budget” ops instead of going to Congress to get funding.

Well, China and the Soviet Union are noticeably absent in the list of clients.

Yes, the government figured out quite a while ago that even though it is illegal for them to collect a lot of data on U.S. citizens, it is perfectly legal for private companies to collect that same data and then sell it to the government.

See “In-Q-Tel”.... a total creation by them, and the Brennan protege from “technology” section, a— get this Zoology undergraduate from Duke Univ.-— was escalated up to the next in line to be Dir. of National Intelligence (Clapper for obi-wan, then Dan bozo plant Coats— Trump fired him).

They thought she would “move right on up” and keep the Tech fake fronts working against the US citizenry and Trump. Didn’t happen. Trump pushed her out. And has in place right now— Admiral Maguire. A real combat SEAL commander (not the greaseball living in Qatar Adm. McRaven, raking in the obi-wan gun running money). Adm. Maguire refused the IC IG Atkinson’s premise for the Ciaramella “whistleblower” (which Atkinson invented from changing the rules to hearsay is Ok).

The worms are turning and whining the whole way.
