WikiLeaks documents reveal CIA agents were given cover identities and diplomatic passports to enter the country. The base was used to develop hacking tools as part of the CIA's massive digital arsenal. WikiLeaks released a trove of CIA documents on Tuesday that it claimed revealed details of its secret hacking arsenal.

Germany fears election cyberattacks Symbolbild Multimedia Auge Cyberwar (Fotolia/Kobes) The release included 8,761 documents that it claimed revealed details of "malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized 'zero day' exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation." The leaks purportedly revealed that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East. Frankfurt base.

WikiLeaks reported that the group developed trojans and other malicious software in the American Consulate General Office, the largest US consulate in the world. The programs focused on targets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The documents revealed that CIA experts worked in the building under cover and included advice for life in Germany. "Do not leave anything electronic or sensitive unattended in your room," it told employees, also advising them to enjoy Lufthansa's free alcohol "in moderation."

The Frankfurt hackers, part of the Center for Cyber Intelligence Europe, were said to be given diplomatic passports and a State Department identity. It instructed employees how to safely enter Germany. A WikiLeaks tweet published an section of the Frankfurt information.

The consulate was the focus of a German investigation into US intelligence capabilities following the 2013 revelation that NSA agents had tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone. German daily "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported the building was known to be home to a vast network of intelligence personnel including CIA agents, NSA spies, military secret service personnel, Department of Homeland Security employees and Secret Service employees. It reported the Americans had also established a dense network of outposts and shell companies in Frankfurt. Televisions turned into bugs

An intelligence expert who examined the dump, Rendition Infosec founder Jake Williams, told news agency Associated Press the documents appeared legitimate.

Bob Ayers, a retired US intelligence official currently working as a security analyst told AP the release was "real bad" for the agency. Jonathan Liu, a spokesman for the CIA, told AP: "We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents." According to WikiLeaks the documents revealed that the CIA could remotely activate certain Samsung smart televisions equipped with cameras and microphones to turn them into bugs. Smartphones hacked.

WikiLeaks also claimed that if the CIA had hacked a cell phone, it could then bypass encryption methods used by popular chat programs such as Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal and Confide. This prompted some concern at first online that all such messaging "Apps" were no longer effectively encrypted - but the exploit only applied to people whose phones are already compromised. According to the leaks, the CIA has undocumented exploits on popular smartphone models. In a series of tweets NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said deliberately leaving vulnerabilities in software and hardware open left public users susceptible to attacks.

Here's one that got my attention,note the CIA reference at the end,sort of confirms the raid actually took place which is vital.Here's the clip from this link below:

https://tomorrowsnews.net/2020/11/14/special-forces-raid-of-scytl-servers-in-germany/

It’s crazy enough that a Spanish company called Scytl, contracting with Dominion Voting Systems used vote-switching software engineered for the Chavez regime in Venezuela to tabulate the votes in the 2020 US Presidential Election – and that Scytl had filed for bankruptcy last May.

But just when you thought the 2020 Elections couldn’t get crazier, we’re now hearing from Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert that Special Forces raided Scytl’s Frankfurt, Germany location last Monday and took possession of Scytl’s servers.

Gohmert’s claims begin to sound dodgy when we learn that they originate from the tweets of a Cambodia-based clean energy start-up and altcoin producer, Alpha Omega Energy but the rumor is confirmed, according to former military intelligence and CIA officer, Robert David Steele “by multiple senior people”.

Judge Jeanine Pirro and Super Lawyer, Lin Wood were also tweeting about the raid and The Gateway Pundit says that their own unnamed source confirms the following:

The US government, once they determined that this Dominion server was involved in switching votes, then the intelligence community began a search for the server and discovered that the server was in Germany. In order to get access to that server and have it available for use in a legal manner they had to have the State Department work in tandem with the Department of Justice. They had to request that the government of Germany cooperate in allowing this seizure of this server.

The appropriate documents required to affect that kind of seizure were put in place, signed off on, and it appears there was also US military support in this operation. The US military was not in the lead. But this helps explain why Esper was fired and Miller and Kash Patel were put in place — so that the military would not interfere with the operation in any way.

By getting ahold of the server they now are going to have the direct evidence of when they were instructed to stop counting. They will also discover who gave the direction to stop counting and who initiated the algorithm that started switching votes.

The CIA was completely excluded from this operation.

Who would dare trust the CIA anyway?

Yep. And Brennan goes out and tries to influence an election here as if he’s another politician and (because he’s attacking Trump) nobody says a damn thing about it. Abuse of his role.

If the CIA was in on helping democrats with voter fraud that’s bad.

But worse is if they helped coordinate riots and looting in cities to destabilize the country.

There’s ‘forgivable after a prison term’ and there ‘put them to death for treason’...

Have you ever seen an ex-CIA head go out and bash a POTUS shortly before and now after an election like Brennan did?

When someone calls the FBI to complain about criminal fraud they aren’t called back.

The USPS sends out an investigator with an agenda to get a whistleblower to recant and intimidate (on tape and out thanks to Veritas).

Could be a foreign power (state or major corporations) but sure seems like the footprints of a U.S. intelligence agency.

Donald Trump is a huge threat to the CIA... how or why that's the case is a mystery we don't understand and Trump doesn't understand... The 'reason' (whatever it is) is convincing enough that some basically decent people are NOT challenging it. That's odd.

It has a similar 'feel' to Benghazi - where you know everyone is lying - but no one has come forward with a reasonable explanation as to 'why'...

A somewhat extreme answer might be something like "it would start World War III" if word got out... But I'm guessing that's paranoid 'cover our asses' delusional 'intelligence crap... Any ideas?

That’s true but I did read some time ago where Brennan was interrogated for over eight hours so if he was maybe his time is coming.

Imho, there are two cia’s the newbees who may mean well and a few older termers who were not compromised and then the others. Like the ones that guard the poppy fields in Afghanistan, do the bidding of the DNC or worse.

Benghazi was not that big a mystery.
The CIA was smuggling all kinds of stuff including arms shoulder fired rockets, less than a mile away.some fo it to syria. The terrorists that attacked the embassy compound were hired by Hillary, most likely through the company, so she really couldn’t call the attack off now could she.

Here is a test.
Inquire at the Mirage in Las Vegas to see if they have a betting line on this topic.

My book says the CIA is dirty.

The part I find strange is no one came to rescue the men protection the embassy and the CIA listening post near by...

I checked flights at the time and a few Delta Force guys (if they exist) could have taken off from McDill (in a car), driven to Tampa International Airport, bought tickets and flown commercial to Benghazi in time to help the men who died protecting the embassy...

That’s weird.
