Pastor Stephen Grant: Spy Stuff: Guess Who Was Tweeting During the Oscars?

Pastor Stephen Grant?

Stephen Grant is the pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on eastern Long Island. Grant is one of the more unique second-career clergy around, as he once worked for the CIA. Besides theology, his interests include archery, golf, writing, classic films, the beach, poker, baseball, and history. Grant also knows his wines, champagnes and brews. Oh yes, he generally dislikes politicians, and happens to be an expert marksman with a handgun and a rifle, while being pretty handy with a combat knife as well.

Spy Stuff: Guess Who Was Tweeting During the Oscars?

Guess who was tweeting during the Oscars? It was the CIA, according to a report from CNN.

It was noted that the CIA tweets were “part of the CIA's ‘Reel vs. Real’ series, which seeks to demystify the CIA's mission by comparing what's seen on screens to reality.”

The CIA tweets were focused on the tech on display in Black Panther.

For example, on holograms, the CIA noted: “They’re real-life hot tech right now & as they improve, intel practitioners in the future could incorporate holographic displays for operations or holographic projections to illustrate situations to the President or other policymakers.”

Check out the CIA’s deeper dive on Wakandan tech, based on questions posed to, as the CIA explained, “one of the CIA’s most innovative scientists. We will call her ‘Rebecca’” Rebecca not only has a background in the traditional sciences, but also in emerging technologies and digital innovation.”
