IN-Q-TEL serves as the CIA’s venture capital tool to promote technology development for the CIA, functioning in a way that a government agency might not be able to do.
However did you know that In-Q-Tel is a not for profit 501c3?
In its Form 990, In-Q-Tel makes it clear that it does not disclose its financials to the public, so where does the oversight of In-Q-Tel come from? The 990 states that:
“IQT receives regular oversight from the CIA and other client agencies, who keep Congress informed of the company’s activities.”
They oversee themselves, how convenient.
They were early investors in Google, Facebook, Palantir, FireEye and Ginkgo Bioworks to name just a few.
Many government agencies practice this, they are endowed by Congress to set up “non-profit foundations”so that they can receive “donations” from private individuals and industries.
This is another way for these agencies who explicitly say they do not receive funds from the industries they regulate to do so while technically staying true to their mandates which make it illegal to do so.
In other words Congress has allowed our regulatory agencies to be thoroughly compromised through “not for profit” vehicles.
Let’s look at another foundation.
The CDC Foundation
iqt.org
projects.propublica.org
The CDC Foundation is another example of this sneaky “public private partnerships”.
Overall for 2023 they received $274.85 Million in “grants and donations”. This is in addition to the $10.65 Billion budget they received for 2023. Why does an agency that is already extremely well funded need a foundation so it can get another $274.85 Million from the private sector? It reeks of impropriety.
Case in point. According to the CDC Foundations 2023 Form 990 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “donated” the following:
-$2,791,302.00 for Pathogenic Paramyxovirus Replication in BSL-4
-$1,852,002.00 for Containment Biomarker Discovery through Serum Epitope Repertoire Analysis (SERA)
-$1,277,615.00 Support for Inactivated Rotavirus Vaccine
-$1,100,000.00 for Evaluation of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine
-$552,233.00 for Schedule Change Evaluating the Impact of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Intro in Indonesia
- $512,815.00 for Evaluating HPV Vaccine Induced Antibodies in Botswana
-$363,000.00 for Tobacco Control Surveillance in Africa: close-out
-$202,881.00 for Impact of CDC-Tuberculosis Preventative
This adds up to a Grand Total of $8,651,838 in 2023 alone.
CDC Foundation Financials: cdcfoundation.org
CDC 2023 Budget: cdc.gov
That’s not all though Bill Gates contributed though, his GAVI Alliance also donated the following in 2023:
-Gavi Alliance $1,987,848.80 for Strategic Focus Area
-Gavi Alliance $1,406,315.68 - TCA
-Gavi Alliance $1,034,000.00 Foundational Support
A Total of $4,428,164.48
This brings the Gates Affiliates overall donations for 2023 to $13,080,002.48
Gee I wonder if that buys any influence within the CDC?
The biggest overall “Donor” to the CDC Foundation in 2023 was Bloomberg Philanthropies:
-Bloomberg Philanthropies
$17,100,000.00 for Monitoring the Global & Domestic Tobacco Epidemic
-Bloomberg Philanthropies
$16,700,000.00 forData for Health, Phase 5
A total of $33,800,000!
The James F. and Sarah T. Fries Foundation a non-profit established in 1991 right after the CDC Foundation was green lit by Congress was another major “donor” with two donations coming in at $2,232,676.86 and $4,090,987.59.
Meta formerly Facebook got in on the action with $5,031,500.00 for the “Emergency Response Fund”.
The Moderna Charitable Foundation, Inc. (Moderna, Inc. (Moderna Therapeutics) came in with a $600,000.00 donation for “How Right Now (teachers) - Dissemination”.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
$4,000,000.00 for “STRETCH 2.0” and $1,399,700.00 for “PLACES: Local Data for Better Health”.

These are some very cozy relationships wouldn’t you say? Further proof that our regulatory agencies have been captured and aren’t independent like they are supposed to be.
I see they’ve sent there terrible bots to this post. Not one follower between the 3. Perhaps they should invest in something believable.
