Facebook, however, seems to mirror LifeLog to the nth degree! We will get to that.

That being established, it is neither accidental nor incidental that DARPA created LifeLog a highly specific research and development project which preceded Facebook. to maintain its vitally important super-power status in the free world, it is critical for the Pentagon to support a qualitatively superior research and development operational arm a mandatory, non-negotiable departmental mission.

On its face, the above definition and descriptor is all well and good. DARPA comprises approximately 220 government employees in six technical offices, including nearly 100 program managers, who together oversee about 250 research and development programs. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA) is a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military.ĭARPA is independent of other military research and development, and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. In turn, an evidentiary case will be built demonstrating the whys and wherefores of Facebook’s limitless power: ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Adina Kutnicki | August 3, 2021īefore the connections between Facebook and the Pentagon are exposed in plain view, one must have a basic understanding and working definition of DARPA.
