Is FACEBOOK run by D.A.R.P.A’s Information Awareness Office?

February 18th, 2009 | Strange But True?, Surveillance Society, Technology

By: D. H. Williams @ 10:15 PM - EST

Is FACEBOOK a Department of Defense data mining scheme run by the CIA and D.A.R.P.A.? Should you be trusting all your personal data to FACEBOOK’s management?

FACEBOOK was initially conceived by Mark Zuckerberg but the venture was first funded with $500,000.00 in capital from PayPal founder Peter Thiel. With millions more to come from sources with close ties to D.A.R.P.A, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense.

The CIA connection:

Another $12.7 million came from James Breyer he is closely associated with a venture capital company called InQtel established by the CIA in 1999 and he served on the board of BBN. InQtel deals in information technology and intelligence most notably “nurturing data mining technologies”.

The D.A.R.P.A. connection:

Dr. Anita Jones former Director of Defense Research and Engineering for the U.S. Department of Defense. While with D.A.R.P.A. her responsibilities included serving as an adviser to the Secretary of Defense. Dr. Jones was also served on the board of directors for InQtel and is now employed by BBN.

D.A.R.P.A. runs the Information Awareness Office whose task it is to collect data on as many people as possible. Their website is full of references to the war on terror, terrorism and terrorist. The IAO claims its programs are for identifying and responding to threats of terrorism.

D.A.R.P.A. program Human ID at a Distance (HumanID)


I.A.O.’s Mission Statement:

Information Awareness Office is to gather as much information as possible about everyone in a centralized location for easy perusal by the United States government.

Including but not limited to: internet activity, credit card purchase history, airline ticket purchases, car rentals, medical records, educational transcripts, drivers license, utility bills, tax returns and any other available data.

Any project such as Myspace or Facebook is an OBVIOUS governmental data mining project, and yet there are so many idiots ready to surrender their most personal of information.
God bless the information age and the disappearance of privacy, and the populace so willing to accelerate it. But hey its all the rage these days, you don't wanna be an outcast do you? so hurry up create your facebook account and meet some friends, come on, you know you want to.

Agreed that people are naive about such places, but the same holds true for any usage of the Internet, even here. What about email, do you use it? Do you now realize that just by posting your thoughts, they are now forever linked with your IP here and around the Internet? I love the Internet, but I realize it is just one big data gathering mechanism for governments and corporations and keeps people from actually working for real change because every move they make is tracked if it is coordinated on the Internet and most people are to naive or lazy to walk out the door or use snail mail to coordinate activities that can affect real change. Shoot, you can't even email a friend without the bozo sending your email to every yahoo in the world when they send out some goofy joke or video.

Interesting, but is not. It was created by regular people who believe in networking with others. The government might be in there using it for their advantage, but it wasn't created by any type of government, at least that's what I believe.

There way more sites like this all around the web, think about it. Another thing, why in the world you think the government is out to get you? People who work there are regular people just like you and me, they went to college got a degree and decided to go work for the government in some way, could be a politician, humanitarian, agriculture, etc. You all need to stop thinking this way, it is a very bad way to lead your life thinking the government is out to get you. Why the fuck would the government want your information for? You know who would love your information, the people who call your house with ads and selling you shit.

Also, why worry if you're living a good life and not doing anything wrong...

The government is not out to get you, stop this way of thinking, its bad for your health.

Everything you do, even the books you read says a lot about you and whether you are a risk to the agenda, so yes, the music you listen to, the books you read and the movies you watch ARE all important to these people.

I use FB liberally because I KNOW it's data mining...

why be afraid?

It is very clear on FB the kind of life I live and what I am all about.

IF Darpa and the CIA take an interest in ME personally then the world is already beyond salvaging...

I'm just a wife, mother and a person that will not be told what to believe, think or do... if this is a problem for someone then we are all screwed.

Things would be easier for you guys if you realize that it is in the interests of the "thing" called the us government to do a few basic things: create an environment where it's self-replication resource generators (aka citizens) are created (hence anti-abortion cannot be govt funded/why the government thinks it "owns" your offspring), kept productive (why they are anti-drugs, for example) and monitored (using facebook gives them better intel then the old style of running PROMIS on the phone records).

To us, it's personal. To them, it's just good business. When you don't fuck up the business, you get left alone.

Not that it's right, it's just the way it is.

If the cows stay away from the electric fence, they don't get shocked. Or, like how a pimp can't let his bitches get out of pocket or they get slapped.

The solution, of course, is in making local governments strong and national ones weak, but that fucks up the "economies of scale and scope". But really most people don't want to be involved enough (worldwide problem) to make local governments the real power-base.

Everything is controlled.

I doubt it's run by them, but I'm sure Facebook help them out with data requests from time to time.

Imagine if J Edgar Hoover and Joe McCarthy were alive today with access to Facebook, we'd all be branded as terrorists for one reason or another. Well, the truth is that there are lots people with similar agendas out there today.

Anyone with a Facebook account deserves to live under the eventual dictatorship of Big Brother. As for Suckerberg, I just wish he'd go away and crawl back into his hole.
