If asked who founded Google, most people will either answer “Larry Page and Sergey Brin” or will answer that they do not know. Truth be told, most, if not all, of the big tech firms we have today shared the same venture capitalist angel investor: the Central Intelligence Agency.
This should not be surprising given that technology is almost universally tied to the Internet today, and the Department of Defense created the Internet as a cheaper and faster way to share data than through the Post Office and as a distributed network that could survive a nuclear war. If the Department of Defense created the Internet, then, of course, as technology firms began to use the Internet, our government would seek to use the Internet as a propaganda and information dissemination tool against other countries as those countries went online.

It wasn’t just early investing that tied the CIA so closely to Google and other tech companies. The CIA also made a network of connections with those who created these firms and with those who took high positions with them.
Today, our intelligence agencies are tied to every form of electronic communication: email, text messages, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, phone calls, and Instagram – you name it. The best data mining firms in the country have enabled our intelligence agencies to sift and sort this data, looking for keywords and taking whatever actions they deem necessary based on what they see. This is illegal unless it goes through a secret court that the government has set up just for this purpose (and it is unconstitutional even if that secret court is used). Still, the FBI has admitted to Congress that it illegally searches this data millions of times every year.
Against this backdrop, we have an angry Commander in Chief who was pushed aside by his own party and who seems to have done everything he possibly can to ensure that the Democrats lost the 2024 Presidential election. President Biden appears to be upset with Donald Trump’s desire to end the Ukraine war as well and is doing everything he can to escalate that war as much as possible, seemingly with the hope of forcing American troops to join the fray directly.
Those who say this brings us closer to Nuclear War can, however, calm down. The United States spends $50 billion dollars a year maintaining our nuclear arsenal such that should we ever need to use it, we can fire off our roughly 5,000 nuclear weapons and obliterate any nation or nation we wish. Russia claims to have 5,500 nuclear weapons but only spends $60 billion on its entire national defense. We know from the war in Ukraine that much of this money was embezzled or wasted, so we have to ask how well-maintained Russia’s nuclear arsenal really is.
