== History ==
Benaki was founded in 2006 as an incubator for privacy-focused technical projects and services, providing targeted infrastructure, legal, and strategic services to for-profit and non-profit business customers and individuals. Their stated goal was "radical social empowerment via structured technological innovation."

== Projects ==
=== Cryptocloud VPN ===
Cryptocloud, an early privacy-focused virtual private network (VPN), was launched in 2006 and later spun-off as a standalone service and company by Baneki's Chief Technology Officer, [[Douglas "Fausty" Spink]].<ref name="wilders">{{Cite web|url=https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/cryptocloud-owner-arrested-client-privacy-implications.270665/|title=CryptoCloud owner arrested.

=== Cultureghost ===
Cultureghost, founded in 2007, is an open discussion platform for a broad variety of transformational, unconventional, leading-edge communities, movements, and projects. Since its inception, Cultureghost has survived a massive Amerikan government effort to censor its discussions, and is in process of receiving a major upgrade: cG Reborn.

=== TorrentFreedom ===
torrentfreedom.com, founded in 2008, broke new ground in providing protection against extra-legal harassment by media oligopolies of online citizens worldwide; as its technological foundation matured and converged, the project was merged into the CryptoCloud secure network.

=== DeepJustice Network ===
The DeepJustice Network is a krysha to protect outspoken activists against the depredations of demagogues, corrupt state power, and mob-rule bigotry via interlocking application of investigative, civil litigation, and public disclosure techniques.

=== Deep Symbiosis Institute ===
Deep Symbiosis Institute, an activist/academic collective working towards expanded awareness and appreciation of truly bidirectional, reciprocal, respectful relationships between Homo sapiens and other sentients, self-aware species who share our fragile planet; beyond the culs-de-sac of "animal rights" and "deep ecology" can be found the unbounded landscapes of Deep Symbiosis.

=== Direct Action Capitalism ===
Direct Action Capitalism, a nascent movement of individuals and communities worldwide who seek to nurture healthy, durable, diverse economic relationships out of the broken shards and failed experimental detritus of centralized, hegemonic, kleptocratic "global capitalist" economic systems. DAC also researches and explores the growing role of so-called "grey economy" interconnections in worldwide economic systems, and how they show the path forward to a more equitable, robust, durable, respectful model of a human (and nonhuman) social cooperation.
