By that logic I am right. It is good to see someone coming to the same conclusion with the facts at hand. The DoD does not invest in things if it does not benefit them in a strategic way.
Yeah, trouble is, it isn't some deep government secret, you haven't stumbled onto some covered up truth, or vast conspiracy of the CIA to control the world through Google.
I don't know of many secret CIA conspiracy organizations that have their own website, that openly state their goals.
OUR AIM
Launched in 1999 as an independent, not-for-profit organization, IQT was created to bridge the gap between the technology needs of the Intelligence Community (IC) and new advances in commercial technology. With limited insight into fast-moving private sector innovation, the IC needed a way to find emerging companies, and, more importantly, to work with them. As a private company with deep ties to the commercial world, we attract and build relationships with technology startups outside the reach of the Intelligence Community. In fact, more than 70 percent of the companies that IQT partners with have never before done business with the government.
Our Aim - In-Q-Tel
They have a "work for us" page as well if your looking for a job.
Work for us - In-Q-Tel
No undercover recruitment in shadowy bars, just submit your resume just like you would to McDonald's.
Regardless, it is pretty obvious they're working together through the Recorded Future program to do real-time monitoring of everyone on the web. If you really need any insight, just look into Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel.
Yes, its very obvious, the publish that fact on their website as well:
RECORDED FUTURE

Recorded Future - In-Q-Tel
As for google... google bought Keyhole, which was a startup funded in part by In-Q-Tel.
In-Q-Tel sold 5,636 shares of Google Inc., worth over $2.2 million, on Nov 15, 2005.[6] The stocks were a result of Google’s acquisition of Keyhole, the CIA funded satellite mapping software now known as Google Earth.
I don't get whats so conspiracy about all this, this is freely available knowledge.
Now, if you take this, then extrapolate, well, the CIA ended up owning shares of Google that it sold in 2005, that must mean Google is run by CIA spooks planting back doors and microchiped monitoring in your brain... then your getting silly, drawing outlandish conclusions from basic facts... which is what drives pretty much all goofy conspiracy theories. They draw the stupidest, most outlandish, ill-logical conclusions from simple humdrum information.
