321: Internet in a Suitcase

Internet in a Suitcase and the New America Foundation

The State Department is funding an "Internet in a Suitcase" project through the New America Foundation to help activists bypass government firewalls. The hosts highlight the foundation's ties to the CIA, noting that its logo shares the same star as the agency's seal and that board members include Fareed Zakaria and Eric Schmidt. Hillary Clinton described the $70 million initiative as a "venture capitalist approach" to promoting democracy abroad.
