Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.
“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,” Livelsberger wrote in one letter found by authorities and released Friday.
Consider us… Woke
Read the note… This guy must have had some TBI from his deployments. I mean he gets to the top of the forest, but then refuses to see the trees.
Yes billionaires and the 1% are a cancer on society… So the solution is to put two of them in charge? Like holy shit, you literally just fucking said they didn’t care about us, and that we’re cattle to them. Oh except for these two, the illegal immigrant that made a fortune over staying his visa and pays no taxes, and the rape ape who’s been convicted of fraud multiple times, who hires illegal immigrants, refuses to pay overtime, and also pays no taxes. Those two are the shining exceptions…
I can’t even fathom the cognitive dissonance he must have lived with daily. If this guy were in Jones Town he would have cut in line for his Kool aid even after seeing people start to drop dead.
Thank you for your service, and for showing yourself out.
Nah, he was just a fucking idiot and it’s a good day when any American thug like him wastes away.
Fuck veterans
That is a very narrow view in how the military works. People like to pretend it’s voluntary. But if you are poor and you want to improve your life and perhaps go to college, it isn’t. Plus, unless you are American you can’t realize how hard the indoctrinate children into joining. All high schools have a recruiter there at all hours grooming kids into joining
‘Fuck veterans’ is a little harsh. Some enlist because they have no other prospects or can’t afford better education to land a job. Or they’ve been indoctrinated to think it’s ‘a mans duty to their country’. I’ve known plenty of veterans that despise the military afterward, despise current gov, and despise Trump.
As much as it sucks, enlisting is one of the few paths out of poverty in the U.S.
His former girlfriend who was an army nurse also said that she thought he had a TBI.
I know “false flag” is a meme at this point, but this is just what it looks like when an accelerationist asshole thinks he’s clever.
Where did you find the note? I can only find articles that dissect it without its context.
Dipshit Donny isn’t even in office yet and it’s already starting. He’s gonna get liquidated by one of his own supporters, 12 months tops. He deserves nothing less
I’m envisioning Trump being attached to electrodes that turn his body to mush and then an orange-tinted puddle.
It’s a nice thought :)
Too bad Vance is his replacement, horrible outcomes guaranteed.
If I were prone to conspiracy thinking I’d wonder if 25th’ing Trump wasn’t the plan the whole time. We have unelected VP Musk and Co-VP Thiel sitting at the helm of our nation.
They probably just expected him to croak in his own. Safe to say, they’re never gonna ask him to change his eating habits and they’ll probably respond slowly to a heart attack if it happens behind closed doors.
A guy like Thiel leaves nothing to chance.
Been my running theory. He’s unhealthy enough that they can hope, he probably isn’t the type to look at the nutrition info on his McDonald’s.
If that doesn’t work, he’ll be an easy 25th case soon enough.
Theil and musk have a plan.
Yeah, but Vance has nothing going for him. When he becomes president, Republicans will deteriorate into pretty infighting once again and people will be sick of it
The summary shows his warning.
The following is the terrorist attack …
Tesla engineers, meanwhile, helped extract data from the Cybertruck for investigators, including Livelsberger’s path between charging stations from Colorado through New Mexico and Arizona and on to Las Vegas, according to Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren.
“We still have a large volume of data to go through,” Koren said Friday. “There’s thousands if not millions of videos and photos and documents and web history and all of those things that need to be analyzed.”
This is the lede being buried. Other than that its just the typical Ya’ll Qaeda domestic terrorism we’ve all come to know and expect.
Goddamn. So it’s just constantly filming and listening 24/7 the entire time.
In addition to tracking, speed, acceleration, every sensor inside and outside, and probably hundreds of other data points. Oh and the doors automatically locked when the explosion happened but Elon was able to remotely unlock the car doors and give all that data to authorities.
Elon was able to remotely unlock the car doors and give all that data to authorities.
It probably really boosted his hero complex to take on such a task.
My Elon-brainwashed relative alerted me to the fact that on twitter, the main rumor is that he killed himself to bring attention to the drone sightings being a secret Chinese gravitic propulsion technology.
God I hate that site.
Twitter doesn’t exist anymore. It’s Xitter. It’s full of xeets.
I prefer to deadname the site.
Honestly, the only deadnaming I can get onboard with. Although I do like referring to tweets as Xcrements now though.
Obviously an excellent reason to kill one’s self. And he made his reasoning so clear too.
I have been enlightened!
Now, there’s probably some twisted reasoning that got someone to that conclusion. I wonder how it worked.
Thank you Matt for your service. Now we know China has gravitic propulsion capabilities.
Yes, that’s how they built their secret base on Jupiter’s third moon. It’s so obvious now.
Is everybody just ignoring the email he sent to sam shoemate and instead going to trust the corporate owned msm reporting on this?
If he really was a right wing extremist then why would he detonate explosives outside of a trump building and cause property damage to one of the rights most symbolic moron leaders? Something doesnt add up in the mainstream narrative ,
I mean, we live inside of bullshit town, so it’s less unbelievable each day that something like the following is actually true:
-
They killed a guy or the guy decided to “die for the cause” as a cult member
-
Remotely drove his dead body in a cybertruck (like the fake FSD “taxi” demonstration from musk the other month)
-
Parked at decrepit old trump hotel with arrival and lobby area in desperate need of repair, but in a place that would assure press coverage for brand and to stoke bases’s victimhood complex
-
Remotely detonated explosive when it was clear of most people and in a way that was loud and showy, but without extreme loss of life
-
Cop immediately starts talking in specific detail (uncharacteristic of cops) about how truck contained blast probably
-
Weird press articles about musk response being a “masterclass” in crisis management PR
-
trump will fundraise a lot off of the “attack” and also make a huge fraudulent insurance claim ridiculously inflating costs of ruined assets and remodeling
-
dead person’s writings will serve to radicalize more nutjobs ready for the slaughter as soon as their divorce finalizes.
(Keep in mind that while you were reading all that, musk is on Twitter now admitting, after being publicly caught and humiliated, that he has had fake Twitter accounts for years where he personally goes to his own posts and comments on how great he is, to himself, as the world’s richest person, on paper.)
-
This was also terrorism and occurred only shortly after the terrorist attack in New Orleans, and yet somehow it’s the brown Muslim getting all of the attention for being a terrorist.
Yes, the white guy who lit fireworks off in a Tesla said it wasn’t terrorism, but he also said that it was to send a message (“a wake up call”)–that’s terrorism. He was a right wing extremist terrorist but because he was white and not an Islamist, it’s just glossed over.
It doesn’t matter that he was a decorated soldier. He was a terrorist who literally wanted non-Republicans to be hunted down and forced out of the government.
whatever that shit didn’t wake me up at all
Ikr, I was late to work because of it. Smdh
Since some news sources are afraid to state his stance:
In one letter, he tells “fellow service members, veterans and all Americans” it’s time to “wake up” because the country’s leadership is “weak” and “only serves to enrich themselves.”
Given the location and vehicle, I say he is clearly mad at a certain side, can you guess which one? /s
I’m not here to support the dude’s pro-trump stance. I do, however, believe class consciousness starts when we recognize we share some of this veteran’s grievances, such as Musk’s relationship with Trump. We’re all getting screwed right now.
Surprisingly (or maybe not), he’s a Trump supporter:
Livelsberger and his first wife divorced in 2018 in part due to political ideological differences, in particular his support for Donald Trump.
Livelsberger’s family revealed that Matthew intended to vote for Trump in the 2024 election.
EDIT: I just saw your
/s, I’m a foolThat factoid means nothing compared to the message he tried to convey.
I feel like they’re trying to ‘handle’ it differently so that they don’t get a repeat of Luigi or more ‘woke’? ‘Anti-woke?’ People don’t copycat.
Did not even take a megacorp CEO with him. What a failure.
Didn’t take anyone with him. Best terrorist we have seen yet, only offed himself.
Yay murder
Defense*
That’s a great impression of a healthcare insurance CEO!
It’s murder when it’s a human. The mega-rich aren’t human and belong in the ground where they can’t hurt anyone else.
Dehumanizing the other has succesfully been used to to make normal people commit horrible acts in the past as well.
While I agree with you in theory (because you’re completely correct with your point), these people also do horrible acts on a global scale daily. We’re at the point where either they go, or we all do.
We’re at the point where either they go, or we all do.
I’m sure this argument has been used before as well.
But sometimes it’s a lie and sometimes it’s true.
Hey buddy the boot licking conference is down the hall.
P.s. they’re never gonna pat you on the head.
It has and I am with you that we should not dehumanize our enemies. However, I also wonder the difference between dehumanizing your enemies because they are weaker than you and make a good target versus dehumanizing your enemies because they have exorbitant power over you. What if that’s what it takes to get people to actually stand up to the oligarchy? I don’t know.
The horrible thing about self defense is that its necessary.
You applied for the united Healthcare CEO position December 5th, didn’t you?
Are you Dora the Explorer on an acid trip?
Cause you just can’t stop licking Boots.
We all know that a certain orange someone will write this off as just another sucker and loser gone.
“Not a terrorist attack” – um detonating a bomb in a public place to get attention for a political purpose is basically the definition of a terror attack. Using fear to stop your opponents from opposing your favored political despots. Not to mention that even if there weren’t many injuries, the people who breathed the fumes from those batteries burning likely will develop cancer including the firefighters. And the cost of cleaning that up falls on the people who live there. Not exactly a beneficial act.
The media treating this as a patriotic act is just going to encourage copycats. And this guy was a bomb expert, but failed to realize that the temperatures he was creating would vaporize the fireworks, not shoot them off. If an expert could make that kind of mistake, just imagine the mistakes that will be made by the copycats. Look forward to many casualties from “patriotic” terrorists.
I haven’t seen anything to suggest that he was a bomb expert. Familiar with IEDs, but that doesn’t mean expert.
