Reports of alleged U.S. Army raid on German server may stem from separate incident, say experts

"There's some cross-information about what happened and where," one intelligence official said. =============================================================================

Reports that the U.S. military recently seized computer servers in Germany for evidence of election fraud likely pertain to an earlier raid by German authorities over a different issue involving hacked police files, U.S. security sources said.

"There's some cross-information about what happened and where," an intelligence official with expertise in cyber operations told Just the News. "Verified reports about one incident probably got conflated with speculation about another."

The "verified reports" involve a July raid on a German server that hosted sensitive, hacked files from U.S. law enforcement agencies, authorities said. The files reportedly were accessed over the summer, in the course of a Houston data breach.

In that incident, known as "BlueLeaks," a group calling itself Distributed Denial of Secrets [DDoS] reportedly used a German computer server to share sensitive U.S. police material. The material, culled from more than 200 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, spanned nearly 25 years. It included audio and video files, along with the names, personal phone numbers, and emails of law enforcement officers throughout the United States.

Prosecutors in the Saxony region of Germany seized the DDoS server in July.

"Due to a U.S. request for preliminary security in the context of international mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, the Zwickau public prosecutor secured a server in a data center in Falkenstein (Vogtland) on July 3, 2020, which can be assumed to have been accessed by people on the Internet under the name Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDosecrets)," German prosecutors reportedly said.

The DDoS raid likely is what fueled social media reports that the U.S. Army raided Scytl in Germany and seized computer servers allegedly used to throw the U.S. election, three government security experts told Just the News. And yet, those experts acknowledged, public information about Scytl raises questions about the company's wide reach into computer and election systems around the world. Among those are systems connected to U.S. security.

In a 2015 lawsuit asking that Scytl be held liable for unpaid wages from a dissolved company it assumed, court documents viewed by Just the News list the U.S. Department of Defense as a Scytl client. File Scytl2005Lawsuit.pdf

The DOD continues to use Scytl, the company's current website claims, "to provide a secure online ballot delivery and onscreen marking systems under a program to support overseas military and civilian voters for the 2010 election cycle and beyond."

Other U.S. government clients include U.S. Elections, the state of Alaska, and the South Carolina Election Commission. International clients include the European Union, the French Ministry of the Interior, and a social media platform based in the Russian Federation.

The company denies reports and rumors of wrongdoing.

"The US army has not seized anything from Scytl in Barcelona, Frankfurt or anywhere else," the company states amid other declarations on its website. The company does not say whether its property was captured by any other entities besides the U.S. Army — leading one security expert to observe that "it's not unreasonable" to ask whether a raid did in fact take place.

Neither the Pentagon nor the State Department immediately responded to questions from Just the News.

The largest election fraud in history, that basically started out as a small operation, but took off at the last minute when it turned out Trump was bringing in a landslide of votes....

Clearly it was just Swamp Gas that is so common in Germany near military installations.

Its pretty easy to see if this is the case - go ask Louis Gohmert (sp?) whether the interview he gave talking about the seizure of the servers was recent - ask for a specific timeframe (November versus may\june\july) He can verify what he was talking about quite easily.

I did see it.

He didn't confirm that it happened, just commented that if it did it was more likely US intelligence operatives working with the Deep State to cover their tracks re: the fraudulent election.

In the interview or a follow up, the raid had been approved by German authorities requested by US channels. Cant remember if it was State department or what branch. They didnt just go in with no German knowledge or permission.
