In a shocking revelation following the New Year's Day bombing at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, a chilling manifesto has been attributed to Matthew Livelsberger, the suspected perpetrator. This document, which was emailed to an individual known as "Samosaur" just hours before the attack, sheds light on Livelsberger's troubling mindset and the motivations behind his actions.
Livelsberger, a former U.S. Army Green Beret, outlined a series of alarming assertions in his manifesto. He claimed that the recent drone sightings along the U.S. East Coast were orchestrated by China, utilizing what he described as "gravitic propulsion systems" deployed from submarines. He painted these drones as an unparalleled threat to American national security, capable of stealth operations and massive payload delivery. "They can park it over the White House if they wanted. It’s checkmate," he wrote, suggesting an imminent danger to national leadership.
The manifesto also delved into Livelsberger's personal fears and paranoia. He believed he was under surveillance by U.S. federal agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security. His attempts to evade what he perceived as an impending arrest or worse were detailed, with references to his possession of a "massive VBIED" (Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device), which he intended to use if cornered.
Moreover, Livelsberger accused the U.S. military of committing war crimes in Afghanistan, specifically in Nimruz Province in 2019. He claimed to have been involved in targeting operations that led to the death of hundreds of civilians, accusing the military of deliberately attacking civilian structures and then covering up these actions. "I conducted targeting for these strikes… 65 buildings were struck despite civilian presence, killing hundreds in a single day," he stated, alleging a systematic suppression of these incidents by the administration.
In an appeal for public awareness, Livelsberger implored his contact to leak this information to the media, warning that failure to do so could lead to global conflict. "You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation," he urged.
The authenticity of the email has been confirmed by the FBI, who also noted Livelsberger’s military service and deployments in Afghanistan. Authorities speculate that untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) might have played a role in his radicalization, influencing his actions leading up to the bombing.
The practical aspects of Livelsberger’s plan involved renting a Tesla Cybertruck in Denver, then embarking on a journey through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally into Nevada. His movements were later pieced together by authorities using data from Tesla's charging stations. The attack took place in the valet area of the Trump International Hotel, resulting in his death and injuries to several bystanders.
Following the incident, security measures were heightened in Las Vegas, with Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirming increased patrols in the city's key areas. While no direct connections to broader terrorist networks have been established, the implications for national security are under serious consideration.
Interestingly, this event occurred on the same day as another violent attack in New Orleans, where a vehicle was driven into a crowd, causing significant loss of life. Although there's no evidence linking the two attacks, the coincidence has raised eyebrows among security analysts and the public alike.
Law enforcement agencies have scheduled a press briefing to provide further details and updates on this case, as the community and nation grapple with the implications of these disturbing revelations and actions.
