The FBI is compromised, and we have no functional news agencies in this country. Pretty sure we are under attack from domestic terror cells.

Disgruntled Democrat suffering TDS. Trying to insult Donald and Elon. Musk truck, Trump hotel.

Suicide among Vets is commonplace. It could be that this is not a terrorist or political act at all. Just another Vet taking himself out. And I wonder if he wanted to do it at the Trump hotel to impress someone who was staying there. You would think an experienced Green Beret would have rigged a more effective explosive device than camping gas and fireworks.

Latest report is that cyber-attack guy died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head before the explosion. SF Gate

People are people and there’s nothing about military service that turns everyone into paragons of virtue and right thinking. If there were, there’d be no reason to have organizations like the Army CID, and the duties of members of the Military Police Corps would be pretty much limited to directing traffic during military operations. I know from personal experience the lack of oversight of certain “special” groups offers temptations that not all their members resist. And although I know little about what military service has been like for the past 30+ years, sometimes experiences—not to mention things like the general state of the Nation today—push people away from what we’d expect of them.

More breaking: firearms found were an SLR-B30 AR10 and a DE .50, possibly the suicide weapon. Common military histories with NOLA guy, though direct path-crossing has not been established. ID not yet officially confirmed, as the body was burned beyond recognition.

It would be an extraordinary amount of coincidence that two veterans who had been stationed at Ft Bragg at the same time, both rent electric trucks from Turo, both load explosives and guns in the rental trucks, both drive electric rental trucks across state lines, both drive to populated areas on same day, and both try to inflict mass carnage.

Nothing about this makes sense to me...

Yesterday’s second attack was described in a New York Times article with the grotesquely deceptive headline, “Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas Leaves 1 Dead and Several Injured.” First of all, the headline makes it sound like the Tesla Cybertruck blew up due to a mechanical defect instead of a bomb. Second, the “one dead” was the apparent bomber. Seven people near the scene sustained minor injuries.

The useless story ran at the Times’ top-of-fold this morning. You could read the article and think it was an accidental, spontaneous electric battery fire. The Washington Post’s article was better, at least explaining in the sub-headline that, “The FBI said it is working to determine whether the explosion of the Tesla Cybertruck, which was filled with large firework mortars and gas canisters, was an act of terrorism.”

In other words, it was another domestic terrorist attack, the second on the same day, and was possibly the first suicide bombing in American history.

Or, maybe the bomber innocently drove the Elon Musk-affiliated Cybertruck up to the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas packed with gas canisters and large fireworks mortars because he planned a big New Year’s Eve show but then the battery very inconveniently caught on fire, and chaos ensued.

The problem with that hypothesis is all the apparent links between Las Vegas and the New Orleans attack.

First, the driver, who was instantly and quite painfully burned alive in the raging fire after the Tesla exploded, was identified as another US Army serviceman, this one on active duty, a Green Beret veteran and lifelong Colorado Springs resident, Matthew Livelsberger, 37. Matt and the New Orleans truck terrorist Jabbar both served at Fort Bragg, possibly at the same time (though that has yet to be confirmed). Both men served in Afghanistan.

And perhaps most coincidentally, both men rented their attack vehicles using the same car-sharing app, Turo.

Social media investigators have pointed out, and it’s a fair point, that nobody ever saw Livelsberger alive before the Cybertruck blew up. It detonated before he could get out, as soon as the car reached the curb in front of Trump’s hotel. In theory, a Tesla Cybertruck could be operated by remote control, although that isn’t a standard feature. So, again in theory, Livelsberger could have been dead before the vehicle arrived. There’s no evidence to support this theory, and there never will be.

Well, maybe that’s not quite right. Matt’s special forces and military intelligence background ensured he could have planned a much more sophisticated attack than this botched bombing, an amateur effort that went nowhere, not least of all because of the Cybertruck’s durable stainless steel construction, which appears to have contained much of the force of the explosion and limited the worst damage to its occupant.

The Trump-Musk connection —Tesla Cybertruck bombing a Trump Hotel— seems overtly politicized, a deliberate statement for this precise political moment. Like failed Trump assassin Ryan Routh, apparently Matt Livelsberger was involved in helping staff Ukraine with foreign mercenaries. This was allegedly copied from Matt’s LinkedIn account, before it was taken down:



While not yet confirmed in any mainstream media platform, Livelsberger and his wife Sarah (or ex-wife, it’s not yet clear) have social media footprints suggesting they were left-leaning and quite Trump-deranged. Since that describes 20% of the native population, it’s nowhere near sufficient explanation for why Matt Livelsberger would throw his life away to become the country’s first domestic suicide bomber.

Nor is there, so far, any ISIS connection, or even a hint of any terror group involvement. What Green Beret Matt Livelsberger thought he would accomplish by blowing up a Cybertruck outside Trump International Hotel is anybody’s guess. Another mystery motive.

It was reported today that the driver was dead before the detonation by what looks like a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Hundreds March for ‘Intifada’ in NYC Hours After Attacks in New Orleans, Las Vegas

The Times of Israel reported:

Attendees chanted “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious,” “We will honor all our martyrs,” and “Gaza, you make us proud.” They carried signs that said “Zionism is cancer,” “No war on Iran,” and “End all US aid to Israel.”

“There is only one solution — Intifada revolution,” they chanted, using a common refrain at anti-Israel rallies in the US. “Intifada,” Arabic for “uprising,” is associated with the Second Intifada, a period of terror attacks in Israel in the early 2000s marked by suicide bombings.

…

A handful of pro-Israel counter-protesters showed up to wave Israeli and American flags on the sidelines of the demonstration, while heckling the anti-Israel activists. A Jewish retiree led chants of “Get a job” directed at the protesters.

The New Orleans attack took place in the early hours of the morning, when Shamsud Din Jabbar, who had reportedly pledged loyalty to ISIS, rammed his car into a crown on Bourbon Street, killing more than a dozen people.

In Las Vegas, a Tesla cybertruck that was packed with explosives exploded outside the entrance to the Trump Hotel, killing at least one person and injuring several more. The suspect in the latter attack died in the explosion, police said.

The Vegas guy stopped at least 8 times to charge the CyberTruck. He didn't rent it for the convenience. I'd say he was trying to make a statement.

Read one post where it was said to remember that Teslas are self driving
and it's possible that the "driver" was dead before the truck arrived.

His Uncle said he was a Trump supporter, X post below
https://x.com/Mrgunsngear/status/1874926733654142977

I did read that, and it's a good point. However, it doesn't look like he could have burned to death.

At the same Las Vegas law enforcement press conference I watched that showed his route, the LEO speaking said they had pictures of him driving the vehicle the entire route and no pictures of anyone else the entire time. They showed that he stopped at Tesla chargers at least 8 times.

I don't believe someone else shot him, put all the crap in the back of the truck, and let the truck drive itself to the hotel. Good movie idea though.

msm and their bs headline 'Cyber truck catches fire and explodes in front of Trump hotel.'

Just like their headline when President Trump got SHOT in the head - 'Trump falls to ground after loud noise.'

They can't help but lie.

Nope. He'd be about #8:

1959 Houston, TX. Guy blew himself up inside an elementary school.

1962 Continental Airlines flight over Iowa. Guy blew himself up while on a commercial flight, downing the plane.

1976 Mason County, WV. Guy forced his way inside the county jail/courthouse and blew himself up inside.

1998 Danville, IL. Serial bomber blew himself up when confronted by law enforcement.

2005 University of Oklahoma. Guy blew himself up with a backpack bomb outside a football game.

2018 Austin, TX. Serial bomber blew himself up when confronted by law enforcement.

2020 Nashville, TN. Dude blew himself and his RV up outside of a telecom building.

Cybertruck: almost as tough as a VW Polo.

Yeah, I can't imagine using one of these and calling it an 'attempted' suicide.

It looks to be the current model that was released recently.
