After Trump won his second term, I was pissed when I saw him cozying up to Mark Zuckerberg again—especially given everything Facebook did during the 2020 election. It didn’t make sense..

Then I remembered something important: Facebook was essentially created by DARPA. That means Zuckerberg isn’t some brilliant mastermind. He’s just the public face.

Thanks largely to the Patriot Act passed after 9/11, the U.S. government gained broad powers to surveil ordinary Americans.

In mid-2003, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched a program called LifeLog. Its goal was to record virtually everything about a person’s life—movements, conversations, what they listened to, watched, read, and bought.

Military researchers hoped this massive dataset would help develop artificial intelligence capable of thinking like a human. LifeLog was designed to be the government’s all-seeing eye for the Department of Defense and the CIA.

Public outrage and pressure from privacy advocates forced the DoD to shut it down. On February 4, 2004, they told Congress the project was over.

The same day—February 4, 2004—Facebook was born.
Facebook → LifeLog → DARPA.

Facebook even hired some of the same senior personnel who had worked on LifeLog, and many believe it was funded through a black budget.

The public would never have accepted LifeLog if they knew it was controlled by the CIA and the federal government. So instead, they created the persona of Mark Zuckerberg—an Ivy League kid—and made Facebook cool by recruiting musicians and Hollywood stars to promote it.

Nicole Shanahan came very close to saying the same exact thing about nearly every major Big Tech company: Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and others.

“These companies didn’t just spring up out of nowhere,” she noted. They emerged from secret government funding funneled through the Silicon Valley–Stanford network.

Look closely at the grants and early money, and the trail almost always leads back to people with direct ties to the government.

So those classic rags-to-riches stories about starting companies in a garage? It’s mostly BS.

These “entrepreneurs” were cultivated with black-budget money for one primary purpose: mass data collection, surveillance, and advancing a specific agenda in the real world.

Do I trust Zuckerberg? Hell no… I’m like 50% convinced he’s a freaking robot. But if Trump didn’t throw his ass in jail, it’s plausible to think with the leverage Trump has, he’s using it against them to benefit the U.S.

Regardless, everyone feels uneasy about these data centers… I know I do. But then again, even the MSM is dooming about it, so that’s odd.
