Alleged Manifesto Suggests Man Behind Vegas Car Explosion Suffered from PTSD

The man behind the Trump International Hotel car explosion allegedly sent a manifesto to a former army officer on the day before he took his own life. The alleged manifesto outlined dissatisfaction with the American leadership amid fears of war with China.

The Man Shot Himself in the Head and Exploded a Tesla

For context, Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was a former US soldier who shot himself in the head before setting off a car explosion in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. While his body was burned beyond recognition, officials were able to identify him via an ID found at the scene and subsequent DNA testing.

At first, officials were unable to find a motive for the explosion. Luckily, no one else died and only a handful of people received non-threatening injuries. The hotel was promptly evacuated.

However, it turns out that Livelsberger might have sent a manifesto on the day before the explosion.

The Manifesto Suggested Livelsberger Had PTSD

Sam Shoemate, a former US Army intelligence officer, reported receiving a manifesto from Livelsberger on the day before the Tesla Cybertruck exploded. He sent the alleged document to podcaster Shawn Ryan, as well as to the FBI and the US Army.

The manifesto outlined significant discontentment with America’s leadership, which has allowed China to increase its presence in the region and spy on the East Coast. According to him, the Asian country might be preparing to attack America’s east coast.

In addition to that, the alleged manifesto insisted that America, led by weak and self-serving leaders, has committed numerous war crimes against civilians. He insisted that America is “terminally ill” and on the brink of collapse.”

In the alleged manifesto, Livelsberger noted that his suicide was not meant to be a terrorist attack but a “wake-up call” since, according to the note, “Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence.”

He concluded that he needed to “cleanse his mind” of the brothers he had lost and relieve himself of the burden of the lives he had taken, suggesting that he was suffering from PTSD. For context, the man had served in Afghanistan, Congo, Georgia, Tajikistan and Ukraine.

The Man’s Uncle Weighs in on the Matter

Dean Livelsberger, Matthew’s uncle, recently addressed the topic. In an interview with The Independent, he confirmed that if his nephew wanted to be a terrorist, he could have made a much stronger bomb that would have actually hurt others.

Dean described his nephew as a true patriot who loved Donald Trump.
