In a Friday press briefing from Las Vegas police, officials revealed that they have found two letters located in a note app belonging to Matthew Livelsberger, who on New Year's Day exploded a Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. He died in the explosion.
One excerpt read out by police stated, "Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans, and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves."
A second letter stated, "We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist! But right now we are terminally ill and headed toward collapse." It later added, "This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives. Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took."
A police official added that "he does offer additional information that is varying on the spectrum in terms of political grievances, issues about the conflicts elsewhere, not here, domestic issues, societal issues, a variety of other things including personal challenges as well."
The FBI said during the press conference that there was "strong evidence" to suggest that the email "manifesto" shared on a podcast Friday evening was written by Livelsberger, but "we haven’t conclusively proven that yet. And that evidence relates to other evidence that we’re finding that we’re able to compare that lead us to believe it was in fact him who sent it."
The email referenced in the press conference was revealed by The Shawn Ryan Show, in which it states that "what we have been seeing with 'drones' is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability." The email later added, "I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know I am armed and have a massive VBIED. I’ve been trying to mantain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me."
