Oracle started as a CIA project (2014)
Through In-Q-Tel, the CIA invested in a LOT of companies who were aiming to solve the problems they had.  Google was another very early investment by In-Q-Tel on behalf of the NSA because Google's stated goal -- to collect, organize, and make sense of all of the world's data -- overlaps with what the NSA's goal is (and it's possible that Google might come up with better ideas and tech for doing it than the NSA's brain trust).If these agencies were NOT investing in potential technical solutions that would be a cause for concern.Read more about In-Q-Tel and their investments here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-Q-Tel
