In a dramatic turn of events, the FBI announced during a press conference that they have “strong evidence” connecting Matthew Livelsberger to the email manifesto circulating online. This manifesto, which delves into theoretical gravitic propulsion systems, allegations of U.S. military misconduct, and a chilling threat of violence, has become the focal point of investigations following the Tesla Cybertruck explosion at Trump Tower.
The manifesto first came to public attention after Sam Shoemate, a retired Chief Warrant Officer 2 and intelligence officer, revealed he had received an email from Livelsberger just days before the explosion. Shoemate shared this revelation during an interview with Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL and CIA operator.
The email manifesto outlines a range of topics, including advanced drone technologies using “gravitic propulsion systems.” This theoretical concept involves manipulating gravitational fields to achieve movement—a subject typically reserved for speculative scientific discussions. Livelsberger claimed these drones were being operationally used by China, as well as historically by the United States.
The manifesto reads in part:
“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.”
Livelsberger alleged that China had been launching these drones from submarines stationed in the Atlantic for years, escalating their use in recent times. He described these drones as possessing near-unlimited payload capacities and unparalleled stealth, dubbing them “the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed.”
The manifesto also included accusations against the U.S. government, citing a 2019 military operation in Nimruz Province, Afghanistan, where Livelsberger claimed civilian casualties were downplayed or covered up. He implicated several agencies, including the Department of Defense, DEA, and CIA, in the alleged misconduct.
“I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, DEA, and CIA,” Livelsberger wrote.
The manifesto took an alarming turn when Livelsberger described being followed by federal authorities, claiming they were tracking his movements and planning to intercept him. He ominously stated that he was armed and in possession of a “massive VBIED” (vehicle-borne improvised explosive device).
“I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me,” he wrote. “I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely Homeland or FBI… They know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED.”
During the press conference, Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans of the FBI’s Las Vegas Division confirmed that investigators had found compelling evidence linking Livelsberger to the manifesto.
“So in terms of the so-called manifesto that’s circulating online, we have strong evidence to suggest that it was the subject that wrote it, but we haven’t conclusively proven that yet. That evidence relates to other findings that we are able to compare, leading us to believe it was, in fact, him who sent it,” Evans stated.
The FBI emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing, with additional efforts underway to verify the manifesto’s authenticity and uncover further details about Livelsberger’s actions and motivations.
As the investigation progresses, authorities are piecing together Livelsberger’s potential motives. His detailed knowledge of theoretical drone technologies and his accusations against the U.S. military suggest a complex narrative involving both personal grievances and broader geopolitical concerns. Livelsberger’s explicit references to following and tracking also highlight a growing paranoia that may have influenced his actions leading up to the explosion.
The Tesla Cybertruck explosion at Trump Tower has already sent shockwaves across the nation, raising concerns about domestic terrorism and the potential misuse of advanced technologies. The manifesto, if conclusively tied to Livelsberger, underscores the intersection of technological speculation, conspiracy theories, and acts of violence.
Federal authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant as they work to understand the full scope of the incident. Meanwhile, experts are calling for greater scrutiny of emerging technologies and their potential misuse, as well as enhanced measures to address the underlying factors that drive individuals toward radicalization.
The revelations surrounding Matthew Livelsberger and the manifesto add a chilling layer to an already troubling incident. As the FBI continues its investigation, the nation awaits answers about the motivations behind the explosion and the broader implications for security and governance. Whether rooted in reality or delusion, Livelsberger’s claims and actions have cast a spotlight on the vulnerabilities of modern society in the face of escalating technological and ideological threats.
