A venture capital firm funded by the CIA has officially placed its bets on bringing back extinct species like the woolly mammoth and the thylacine, according to a public portfolio released this month and spotted by The Intercept.

The company is called In-Q-Tel, and its mission (according to its website) is to invest in technologies that bolster the United States’ national security. In-Q-Tel is over 20 years old, but only now have its taxpayer dollars been directed towards the genetically-engineered resurrection of extinct animals, or de-extinction.

How does a giant hairy elephant help with climate change. Unless we all start riding them to work

And why? This has to be a way of spending money on a black project. They don’t really want to recreate those animals, they want to spend money on something else entirely.

Thylacines are crazy. They look kind of like a wild dog, but they can hop around on back feet like a kangaroo.
