Let's learn a little about this relatively new investment arm of the Intelligence community.

🔼🔼🔺 iARPA 🔺🔼🔼

MOTTO: "BE THE FUTURE"

**Founded in 2006**

NSA/NGIA/CIA

Authorized by the ODNI:
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) invests in high-risk, high-payoff research programs to tackle some of the most difficult challenges of the agencies and disciplines in the Intelligence Community (IC)

(IC) Collaboration:

This cross-community focus ensures our ability to:

🔼address cross-agency challenges

🔼leverage both operational and R&D expertise from across the IC

🔼coordinate transition strategies with our agency partners

Example of what type of projects iARPA is currently working on.

arstechnica.com/information-te…

4 Research Areas:

1. Analysis
seeks to maximize insight from the information we collect, in a timely fashion.

2. Anticipatory Intelligence
develops technologies that provide decision makers with timely and accurate forecasts for a range of events relevant to national security.

3. Collection
strives to dramatically improve the value of collected data from all sources.

4. Computing
endeavors to counter new capabilities implemented by our adversaries that could threaten our ability to operate freely and effectively in a networked world.

Another research example:

MICrONS seeks to revolutionize machine learning by reverse-engineering the algorithms of the brain.

The program is expressly designed as a dialogue between data science and neuroscience.

EMBERS
Uses social media and other data sources to predict the future...

Example of Qubit Quantum Computer Research...old now.

Just a random funding example for these types of projects. No surprises right?

More projects...

Not sure why they always choose names that trigger conspiracy theories but I won't go there.

Now to the point of my post.
The CREATE program.

🔺CROWDSOURCED🔺
🔼OPEN SOURCE INTEL🔼

Combining CREATE with other programs like EMBER they can have some unique applications like HFC.

“CREATE is a unique opportunity to extend crowdsourcing beyond its traditional applications,” said Steven Rieber, IARPA program manager. “Wikipedia has demonstrated the power of crowds to organize information.."

CREATE program Co-Arg:

"It uses a web-based system called “Argupedia” that lets a lead analyst ask other experts to weigh in on small aspects of a hypothesis. Their arguments are assembled and weighted for relevance by the software."

Before I keep going I have to confess this is related to #Qanon but it's just my opinion and you can ignore this aspect if you choose.

Here's why I say that...

MUST READ Q OR NO Q!

✴️IN-Q-TEL & iARPA✴️

Makes sense right??

Another must read for more background and connections.

Now the fun really begins...

What is a LARP?

What is a ARG??

What is Cicada?

Fantasy or Fiction?

Just a game??

google.com/amp/s/www.wire…

That's right our (IC) plays games with the best LARP/ARG creators and OUTSOURCES.

So all those who say Cicada or Qanon are not tied to the intelligence community... Who knows?

carriecutforth.com/spies-like-me-…

Just imagine for a second...this is a few years old.
What happens when these games get played at the Quantum level?
What happens when they are no longer research but incorporated with REAL operators?
What is real now?
Disinformation is nessesary?

So basically the "Q-Branch" of the IC uses social media and open source Intel to predict future events and may be using alternative reality games and artificial intelligence to collect data.

Do you feel used?

Personally I would be okay with this if we're true as long as...

We all get a personal message for helping our country!

#Qanon

For those who get this far...I still fully believe in #Qanon and this was just something I've theorized previously. 😬

Typos everywhere..

Now meet "Q" 👇

IARPA identifies Qs who are working outside—in academia and industry—on important technologies. We find these Qs by putting out calls for research proposals and by staging research tournaments.

Go say hello to them on twitter. Hi iARPA!
