American pharma company that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. Possibly a CIA front company, for an unknown purpose.

Theranos was an American privately held corporation that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. Founded in 2003 by 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 2013 and 2014.[1]

The company claimed that it had devised blood tests that required very small amounts of blood and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices which the company had developed. These claims were later proven to be false, and the company a scam.[2][3] What remained of the company was dissolved on September 4, 2018.

Several things point to Theranos being a CIA front company, for an unknown purpose.

Official narrative

The the Wikipedia and Investopedia articles covers the extensive fraudulent activities. There are also several documentaries about the case.

CIA front

Several things point to Theranos being a CIA front company.

  • The Congress for Cultural Freedom was revealed as a CIA front in 1966. Its funding came in large part from oligarch Julius Fleischmann, Jr. (1900–1968), Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ grandfather[4]. (His name is omitted in the Wikipedia article, where instead her great-grandfather with the same name, Julius Fleischmann, is mentioned.) Holmes’ father worked for CIA front USAID.[5]

The Theranos board included several heavyweight deep state operatives[6][7]:

  • George Shultz, former U.S. Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury
  • William Perry, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (the Pentagon’s lab for space lasers and killer robots)
  • Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor
  • Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, co-chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a deep state think thank that has been central in planning for "countermeasures" for potential attacks with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, including planning for Covid.
  • Riley P. Bechtel, chairman/CEO Bechtel Group at the time, America’s largest private company and military-industrial complex heavyweight.

A significant part of its funding came from similar deep state operatives:

  • Betsy DeVos[9] (Amway): funded $100 million. Betsy Devos’ brother is the founder of Blackwater, the CIA’s go-to private contractor for assassinations and other "security work."

William Foege“Having had the opportunity to look at their technology, it's very robust. The problems they have been vilified for have to do with lab operations and the fact that they have not published in peer reviewed journals. They are correcting the operational problems, and changes are being made. As for the science, they are preparing to send articles to peer reviewed journals. For me, the bottom line is that global health needs this sort of technology and Theranos is going to solve the problems to provide it. That's what has me excited.”William Foege25 July 2016
