Matthew Livelsberger, 37, the active-duty US Army Green Beret who detonated a Tesla cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday, left behind a note calling on militias to rid DC of Democrats.
LiveIsberger shot himself in the head prior to the blast that injured seven people outside the Trump hotel on New Year’s day.
Authorities were able to access two notes on a phone found in the Cybertruck. The notes seemed to serve as a journal for LiveIsberger in the last few days of his life from Dec. 21 to Dec. 31.
In one note, LiveIsberger tells Americans it’s time to “wake up” because the country’s leadership is “weak” and “only serves to enrich themselves.” He added that a purge is necessary to restore order and specifically called for Democrats to be removed from DC, using violence if needed.
“Military and vets move on DC starting now. Militias facilitate and augment this activity,” he wrote. “Occupy every major road along fed buildings and the campus of fed buildings by the hundreds of thousands.”
“Lock the highways around down with semis right after everybody gets in. Hold until the purge is complete,” he continued. “Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary. They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse.”
In the second letter LiveIsberger wrote, “We are the United States of America, the best country … to ever exist, but right now, we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse. 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.”
“Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took,” he wrote.
He also praised Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk, while criticizing President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
“Thankfully we rejected the DEl candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s,” he wrote.
“Consider this last sunset of ’24 and my actions the end of our sickness and a new chapter of health for our people,” LiveIsberger added. “Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans! We are second to no one.”
Livelsberger’s uncle, Dean LiveIsberger, told The Independent Thursday afternoon that his late nephew “was a 100 percent patriot” and a big Trump supporter.
Livelsberger was “like a Rambo-type, for lack of a better word,” Dean said.
“He used to have all patriotic stuff on Facebook, he was 100 percent loving the country,” he continued. “He loved Trump, and he was always a very, very patriotic soldier, a patriotic American. It’s one of the reasons he was in Special Forces for so many years. It wasn’t just one tour of duty.”
