Suspect in Las Vegas Cybertruck Bombing Was US Army Green Beret

The suspect in Wednesday’s Tesla Cybertruck bombing that occurred outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty US Army Green Beret.

Livelsberger was identified as the person who rented the Cybertruck, and his IDs and credit cards were found in the vehicle, but the body was burned beyond recognition, and authorities say they’re still waiting on a DNA test to confirm his identity.

The Cybertruck was blown up using firework mortars and gas canisters, a crude explosive for someone with Livelsberger’s military experience to use. The body had a gunshot wound to the head, which authorities say was self-inflicted. Since Cybertrucks can be self-driving, some have speculated he could have been dead before arriving at the Trump hotel if the bomb was detonated using a timer.

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said he was “comfortable calling it a suicide with a bombing that occurred immediately after.” No one else was killed in the blast, and seven people nearby sustained minor injuries.

The bombing occurred just a few hours after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, another US Army veteran, plowed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans, killing 15. The FBI has said there’s no “definitive link” between the two incidents, though there are some similarities.

Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger’s stunned family say he ‘loved Trump and the Army’

The stunned family of suspected Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger say the Army veteran was a ‘big Trump supporter’ who loved his time in the military. 

It comes as more details are revealed about Livelsberger, a long serving married Green Beret who was on leave from active duty when he carried out the attack outside Donald Trump‘s Las Vegas hotel. 

His uncle Dean Livelsberger told The Independent that his nephew was ‘100 percent a patriot’, and described him as a ‘Rambo-type.’ 

‘He used to have all patriotic stuff on Facebook, he was 100 percent loving the country,’ he continued. 

‘He loved Trump, and he was always a very, very patriotic soldier, a patriotic American. It’s one of the reasons he was in Special Forces for so many years. It wasn’t just one tour of duty.’ 

He added that the amateurish construction of the explosive device in the Cybertruck was curious to him, as he knew Matthew to be a ‘very skilled warrior’ who ‘would’ve been able to make a more sophisticated explosive.’ 

‘He was what you might call a ‘supersoldier.’ If you ever read about the things he was awarded, and the experience he had, some of it doesn’t make sense, when he had the skills and ability to make something more, let’s say, ‘efficient,” Dean said. 

‘His skills were enormous from what he had been taught in the military.’

Drones ‘the size of buses’ are still invading New Jersey… as experts reveal why crisis has gone silent

While official reports of eerie drone-like UFOs dropped over the holidays, New Jersey residents are still coming forward with bizarre encounters.

Two witnesses in Manalapan Township, for example, videotaped a bus-sized, 25- to 50-foot-long black triangle UFO that they saw ‘pull off a high g [force] maneuver over a residential area’ just days before Christmas.

The sighting, which lasted at least one minute, ended with the object zooming ‘in the general direction of McGuire [Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst]’ — matching a persistent pattern of ‘drone’ UFO incursions over US bases in recent years.

Another New Jersey skywatcher recorded what they described as a classic ‘flying saucer’ with an ‘aura or haze around object’ just three miles off the coast of Atlantic City.

And still more Garden State witnesses now say they saw as many as 20 to 30 drones just this Wednesday night, which ‘kind of hovered and all looked like miniature aircraft,’ in an account posted to Facebook. ‘Very disconcerting for sure,’ one witness said.

Some experts attribute the drop in official reports to law enforcement to expanded drone flight bans by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) across the tristate area.

But others, including former chief of the FBI‘s counter-drone unit Rob D’Amico, believe most of the sightings were errors and ‘hysteria’ to begin with, suggesting that the decline might be nothing more than a case of the ‘mystery drone’ fever breaking. 

‘I truly think that 90 percent of these sightings are manned aircraft,’ D’Amico said. ‘People have never looked up in the sky before to notice how crowded it is.’

Suspects in Vegas explosion, New Orleans attack served at same Army base, sources say

The Colorado Springs resident suspected of detonating a Tesla Cybertruck in front of a Las Vegas hotel and the Texas man accused of driving a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans served at the same military base, sources told Scripps News Denver.

Although sources said officials were investigating the link as a possible connection between the two New Year’s Day attacks, the FBI’s Christopher Raia told reporters that it could not establish a link between the two incidents.

Matthew Livelsberger is accused of renting a Cybertruck in Colorado Springs, driving it to Nevada and packing it with firework mortars and gas cans before exploding it in front of the Trump International Hotel in Vegas Wednesday morning, killing himself and injuring seven others. Shamsud-Din Jabbar is suspected of plowing through a crowd of New Year’s revelers in the French Quarter hours earlier, killing at least 14 and injuring dozens more in an attack that sent shockwaves through a famous New Year’s destination the morning of a scheduled College Football Playoff game.

Both men were confirmed to be Army veterans in the aftermath of the attacks – both of which were being investigated as possible acts of terrorism.

Mystery as thick fog sweeps the US with reports of ‘burning chemical smell’ in the air

A thick fog is sweeping across the US with locals in multiple states reporting how a ‘burning chemical-like smell’ has blanketed their communities.

Concerned Americans have flooded social media with videos of what looks like white particles raining down and swirling in the air. 

Some witnesses have also claimed the fog has also triggered health symptoms similar to a respiratory illness.

A Florida resident told DailyMail.com that they stopped at a gas station for about 10 minutes and began feeling ill.

‘Within about and hour, I kept sneezing over and over for about three hours, and my eyes were really puffy,’ she said.

‘I got very warm and I felt like I had a fever, and my stomach was cramping.’ 

Parts of Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Florida, and Minnesota were under fog alerts when the bizarre reports surfaced this week.

Similar experiences have also emerged from parts of Canada and the UK, sparking widespread concern.

Conspiracy theories are running rampant with people suggesting the fog could be a kind of chemical weapon or is related to the drones that mysteriously plagued the nation in December.

Comedian Roasts 2024 on CNN Asking Why Trump Shooter Had No Silverware, Why So Many Presidents’ Chefs Dead 

Comedian Whitney Cummings joined CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast Tuesday and marked the end of 2024 by reciting a list of controversial topics the corporate media has suppressed.

At one point during the event, Cummings launched into a rant, declaring, “Since I only have a minute left live on establishment media, why don’t we just say a bunch of things that we know that they’ll never cover?”

She proceeded to highlight several news items the mainstream media has largely ignored – with CNN surprisingly allowing her to stay on air to share them.

“Trump’s shooter didn’t have any silverware in his house, no one thought that was weird?” Cummings asked quickly, referring to reports shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ home was “clean like a medical lab” when searched.

“Are we still rolling?” Cummings asked, going on to note, “The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia put money into Disney — so just know there won’t be any girl characters in the next ‘Cars’ movie.”

“Okay, are we still rolling? This is wild,” Cummings remarked, before asking, “Okay, Why so many presidents’ chef’s died? Weird.”

Over the past decade, two White House chefs – Walter Scheib, who worked under ex-Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, and Tafari Campbell, who served the Obama family – both died by drowning.

Drones Run Amok

Drones, drones, everywhere drones. For a few weeks, clusters of drones of unknown provenance were recently seen flying in the skies above New Jersey. Local, state, and federal authorities claimed that they did not know whose drones they were. The expression “baseless conspiracy theory” saw an uptick in usage once again as some in the media scoffed at the proliferating hypotheses about what was going on. Incoming U.S. president, Donald Trump, opined that the machines should be shot down, but the Joe Biden administration did not agree, lending significant support to the simplest hypothesis of them all: that the drones have been used by the government itself for whatever its purposes may be. Having once recognized this very real possibility, Trump cryptically intoned, “Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people.”

State officials, spurred by their constituents, got to work attempting to find ways to halt the drones overhead, suggesting that, if the executive branch would not itself prevent certain unnameable rogue government departments from violating the Posse Comitatus Act, then at least by asserting the sub-federal authority enjoyed by states, it would be possible to stop whoever was behind whatever the operation may have been. New Jersey is not Nordstream, which U.S. citizens were quite willing to forget about and pretend never happened, despite in all likelihood having paid for the terrorist act of sabotage.

On December 19, 2024, the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) issued a one-month ban on the flying of UAVs over swaths of New Jersey, declaring the areas to be “national defense airspace,” and oddly claiming that “deadly force” could be deployed in response to violations of the ban. It is unclear what the use of “deadly force” against inanimate machines might mean, but it ominously suggests that the persons behind the drones might be subject to summary execution. Or perhaps the reference to “deadly force” was just part of a cover story composed in order to dispel the most plausible available hypothesis, undoubtedly made even more popular by Trump’s pronouncement that, “The government knows what is happening.” Having himself been the object of attempted assassinations by figures with rather bizarre back stories and curious connections, Trump understandably canceled a planned trip to New Jersey. The terrifying truth is that, with the advent of clusters of weaponized drones the size of insects, there really is nowhere and no way to hide from a determined killer with access to the latest and greatest lethal technologies developed by DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—fully funded by U.S. taxpayers).

Regardless of who may have launched the mysterious drones, the implication for U.S. citizens is that at long last they have been subjected to the specter of insecurity and danger posed by the hovering overhead of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which may or may not bear lethal payloads, and which may or may not be monitoring the movements of specific targets, whose names may or may not be found on government “kill don’t capture” lists.

Cattle Mutilation Case Reported in Oregon

Authorities in Oregon are investigating a curious case of a slain bull that bears the hallmarks of a classic cattle mutilation event. The unnerving killing, which occurred in late November at a ranch in the state’s Grant County, came to light last week when the animal’s owner spoke to a local media outlet about the weird incident. Choosing to remain anonymous, he indicated that the slaying featured several strange elements that appear to defy explanation but will sound all too familiar to students of the cattle mutilation phenomenon.

According to the rancher, the unfortunate bull’s snout, eyes, tongue, and reproductive organs had been seemingly skillfully removed. Meanwhile, there was no blood at the scene, scavenger animals showed no interest in the animal’s remains, and the area was devoid of any clues that a human could have been behind the eerie event. Grant County Sheriff’s Office deputies subsequently investigated the incident, though they have yet to issue any statement about the matter.

Ranchers in Oregon may understandably be worried that the November incident may represent a reprise of the cattle mutilations that have plagued the state in recent years. To that end, a 2019 case saw five animals slain in a similar singular event, while another rancher reported three separate downed animals throughout 2020. The following year saw multiple cattle mutilations reported in both March and August with the phenomenon last occurring in March of 2022 when another bull was downed under the same mysterious circumstances.

Are The Reported Drone Sightings In The U.S. Tied To Secret Military Activities In Romania?

Sighting of unexplained drones over the East Coast of the United States in recent weeks has created a great deal of public uproar and the U.S. government has refused to provide any plausible explanation about what is going on. This implies either some sort of cover up or blatant incompetence. Security analyst Mike Benz has pointed to a possible link between the sightings and secret military activities in Romania.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Benz wrote “The US is preparing to park a giant fleet of military drones on Romania’s Black Sea coast upon completion of NATO’s largest military base in Europe there. Could that be related to large fleets of drones potentially being tested along US coastlines this month?”

Drones continue to buzz over US bases. The military isn’t sure why or how to stop them

A series of drone sightings over military bases across the country has renewed concerns that the US doesn’t have clear government-wide policy for how to deal with unauthorized incursions that could potentially pose a national security threat.

“We’re one year past Langley drone incursions and almost two years past the PRC spy balloon. Why don’t we have a single [point of contact] who is responsible for coordination across all organizations in the government to address this?” the recently retired head of US Northern Command and NORAD, Gen. Glen VanHerck, told CNN. “Instead, everybody’s pointing their fingers at each other saying it’s not our responsibility.”

Indeed, there have been multiple instances of drone incursions over military bases since mysterious drone swarms were spotted around Joint Base Langley-Eustis and other sensitive military sites in Virginia last year, and since a Chinese spy balloon transited the continental US in 2023.
