The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) held a gripping press conference on Friday, releasing shocking new details from the investigation into this week’s explosion at Trump Hotel Las Vegas.
Authorities unveiled excerpts from texts and notes discovered on the devices of suspect Matthew Livelsberger.
Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren took the podium, detailing a chilling manifesto that Livelsberger left behind.
The notes, laden with political grievances and existential despair, suggest a man deeply embittered by what he saw as America’s “terminal illness” under “weak and feckless leadership.”
In one excerpt from the note application on Livelsberger’s device, he writes:
“Fellow service members, veterans, and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves.”
He continues with grievances spanning political corruption, societal decay, and personal struggles. But it’s the second note that delivered an even darker revelation:
“We are the United States of America, the best country and people to ever exist. But right now, we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse. This was not a terrorist attack; it is 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 need to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”
“I’d like to just also expand on that and emphasize that these are just excerpts. In there, he does offer additional information that varies on the spectrum in terms of political grievances, issues about the conflicts elsewhere—not here—domestic issues, societal issues, and a variety of other things, including personal challenges as well,” said Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren.
“We are intending to release those initial letters so people can understand, as best they can, what the person’s thought process was at one point in time. However, please understand there is still a lot more content to go through, and that may change. There may be a lot more information that we recover that either explains more or shows a change in mindset at different times.”
“We still have a large volume of data to go through and a lot of content to go through. As you know, with any one of our devices, there’s thousands, if not millions, of videos, photos, documents, web history, and all of those things that need to be analyzed.”
WATCH:
The FBI agent Spencer Evans also announced during the press conference that they have “strong evidence” suggesting Matthew Livelsberger authored and sent the email manifesto circulating online, which references gravitic propulsion systems, U.S. military misconduct, and a veiled threat of violence.
The manifesto first became public after Sam Shoemate, an intelligence officer and retired Chief Warrant Officer 2 (US Army), revealed he had received an email from Livelsberger just days before the explosion during an interview with former Navy SEAL and CIA operator Shawn Ryan.
