 The term has come to be used in reference to the system behind the intelligence community of the [[United States]], where it is most prevalent. Its origin is borrowed from a term in the farewell address of President [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]], warning of the dangers of the [[military-industrial complex]]. Unlike the [[military]], there is no tradition of outside [[civilian]] control of the Intelligence Community, which has exploded in size and influence since Eisenhower's day.

 In March 2013, the CIA awarded a $600 million contract to Amazon Web Services for a computing cloud system which would allow all 17 agencies of the US intelligence community to coordinate and share information.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/the-details-about-the-cias-deal-with-amazon/374632/</ref> The General Accounting Office found the deal violated the open bidding process, but a federal court stood by the CIA's decision.
 In October of the same year Jeff Bezos, founder of [[Amazon.com]] and the 6th richest billionaire on the planet worth $66 billion, purchased the ''[[Washington Post]]'' with proceeds of the deal.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/washington-post-closes-sale-to-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos/2013/10/01/fca3b16a-2acf-11e3-97a3-ff2758228523_story.html?utm_term=.8fea51fb3097</ref> Amazon remains under contract for continuing service of the system.
 The Institute for Public Accuracy released a statement condemning the move.<ref>https://medium.com/@SarahRRunge/amazon-the-washington-post-and-the-cia-d68a4ee802e#.406uub5gw</ref>

	Below is a list available in non-classified open source of media personalities who are also Companymen. Note, there are 16 US intelligence agencies that constitute the US intelligence community, and often a member associated with one agency is mistakenly identified with another. In this sense, the terms CIA agent, asset, analyst, activity, operation etc., can be used as an umbrella catch-all phrase that can mask a person's true association.
