First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification. 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. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated comms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time. The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.
USG needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is.
China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED. I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me.
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. I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of CIVCAS) that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR, it was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM. The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear. I was part of that cover-up with USFORA and Agent [redacted] of the DEA. So I don’t know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with GEN Millers I0 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murghab. AOB-S Commander at the time [redacted] can validate this.
You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.
For vetting my Linkedin is Matt Berg or Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty 18Z out of 1-10 my profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP USAP access.
Comment: This was posted by Shawn Ryan (former SEAL and CIA contractor) shortly after his podcast with Sam Shumate (former Army intel officer are retired CWO2) who was apparently in contact with Livelsberger in the days before he committed suicide in Las Vegas. The writer went to great lengths with the electronic super spook techniques to transmit this “manifesto” to Shumate. Thought I don’t doubt Shumate’s and Ryan’s sincerity, they strike me as modern versions of the “Soldier of Fortune” magazine types… a lot of high speed, low drag social media talk signifying not nearly as much as they think it does. I think Livelsberger, or whoever authored the manifesto, was feeding into Shumate’s and Ryan’s mindset with both the clandestinity of the communication and the content of the message. In other words, maybe Livelsberger was just jerking them around.
The first point of the manifesto reveals that both China and the US have mastered anti-gravity flight (gravitic propulsion systems) and that the recent east coast drones were Chinese demonstrations of this technology launched from their subs off the east coast. I find it highly unlikely that China would risk losing their technological marvel by joy riding it around New Jersey. It’s also very unlikely that Chinese subs are operating silently off our east coast. Their subs are not that good yet. This sounds more like something off of a 4chan-like message board.
The second point of the manifesto is the revelation of a serious air attack on Afghani drug manufacturing/storage infrastructure that resulted in a large number of civilian casualties. This sounds plausible on a quick read, but others who have been in the AOR have pointed out a lot of inconsistencies in the details. Still, it’s plausible enough not to dismiss it outright.
Yesterday, the FBI released some more writings that supposedly came off a note taking app on one of the cellphones recovered from the Las Vegas Cypertruck. It appears to be more random thoughts gathering in some kind of journal. So far the notes make no mention of the points referred to in the manifesto, but they’re quite interesting, nonetheless. It reads like the musings of a fervent MAGA true believer with just a bit of Bernie Sanders thrown in for good measure.
…………
We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist! But right now we are terminally ill and headed toward collapse. We are crumbling because of a lack of self respect, morales, and respect for others. Greed and gluttony has consumed us. The top 1% decided long ago they weren’t going to bring everyone else with them. You are cattle to them. We have strayed from family values and corrupted our minds and I am a prime example of having it all but it never being enough. A lot of us are just sitting around waiting to die. No sunlight, no steps, no fresh air, no hope. Our children are addicted to screens by the age of two. We are filling our bodies with processed foods. Our population is too fat to join the military yet we are facing a war with China, Russia, North Korea and Iran before 2030.
We must take these actions if we are going to make it past the next few years in one piece:
We must end the war in Ukraine with negotiated settlement. It is the only way. Focus on strength and winning. Masculinity is good and men must be leaders. Strength is a deterrent and fear is the product.
Weeded out those in our government and military who do not idealize #2. The income inequality in this country and cost-of-living is outrageous. The number of homeless on our street is embarrassing and disgusting. Have some pride and take care of this.
Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEl is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEl candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s. We must move on from the culture of weakness and self enrichment perpetuated by our senior political and military leaders. We are done with the blatant corruption. Our soldiers are done fighting wars without end states or clear objectives. 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 l’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took. Consider this last sunset of ’24 and my actions the end of our sickness and a new chapter of health for our people. Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans! We are second to no one.
…………
Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans, and all Americans,
TIME TO WAKE UP!
We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves.
Military and vets move on DC starting now. Militias facilitate and augment this activity. 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. 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.

Comment: And there’s a third set of communications. There are some casual texts between Livelsberger and an old girlfriend. He contacted her after Christmas with some mundane and even normal musings about the coolness of the Cybertruck. From what’s been revealed, there were no hints of an immediate descent into suicidal depression or concerns expressed in his other writings. The exchanges were happy and healthy. The old girlfriend seemed like a good match for Livelsberger. Too bad they didn’t stay together. Things might have worked out much better for him, more like the photo of him and his girlfriend above.
The contacts with the old girlfriend seem real. Why would that be made up? The other writings may be real or they could be some combination of truth, hoax or even government misdirection. I’d give it six months and a new FBI to get a better idea of what’s real and what’s not. One thing I’m fairly certain of is that these writings will be talked about among certain circles for weeks if not months. Livelsberger got his wish. He made a splash. “What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?” Beyond that, I certainly hope he was able to “cleanse [his] mind of the brothers [he’s] lost and relieve [himself] of the burden of the lives [he] took.“

At reddit, people are questioning the veracity of “Sam Shoemate”.
This, and other aspects of the Livelsberger story, are discussed here:

Al,
Pedophiles in DC? Everybody knows that is Rotherham. And Epstein did kill himself. Not Diddy though….

Keith,
The Signal safety number was probably changed by the FBI or DoD after Livelsberger’s death to maintain access to any incoming communications.
The rest of the Reddit post is just the usual character assassination, by government lovers/the left, of anyone that they don’t like or who has info that contradicts their ideology.
SFC Ryan McBeth (USA Ret.) lays it out. Shoemate is a known liar and fuckup.
https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com/p/shawn-ryan-and-sam-shoemate-are-lying
Thanks, Condottiere, that was quite helpful. I am tired of keeping track of the multitude of successful American popular news enterpreneurs and their camps. Ryan McBeth seem to be interesting, but I guess soon I’ll forget his name vs “the Carlson/Rogans” since they feed the larger crowds of the lUS talk circuit …
Helpful vs whatever entertainers in the pop news business
“Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary.”
Livelsberger could’ve been a special patriot had he done his “duty” on J6.
I agree with this guy’s economic musings. The exceptions we carve out for the parties we identify with is tiresome, however. Wonder if he noticed the billionaire appointment trend isn’t reversing with Trump.
Maybe it’s just me. It feels like the shoe is destined to drop for years now. Like there is a reset coming and none of us are going to like it. I recently found my political spirit animal surfing the YT wormhole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRs84wUuGxM

Lesly,
Suicide with fireworks in the back of the truck isn’t effective? Try try again. Well, maybe not.
Does the Billionaire list Larry Ellison, Oprah, Powell-Jacobs? How about foreign billionaires like the Virgin guy:

Fred,
No idea what you’re alluding to with the fireworks comment.
Your link is behind a paywall.
Lesly,
He’s referring to the fireworks laden Cybertruck that blew up in Las Vegas.
TTG,
I figured. Just can’t figure out if it’s Fred snark, dis/agreement with the guy, or what.
Lesly,
Yes you can’t read the link and discover it is about Billionaire Richard Branson and Barack Obama. Apparently you are not actually concerned about billionaires influencing our government. Except, apparently, when they help get policies you agree with implemented.
Fred: “Apparently you are not actually concerned about billionaires influencing our government.”
Projecting isn’t a good look. Your article is behind a paywall, at least for me. If I could read it I’d agree with you, but deflecting with “the other side does it” and “even when we admit to do it, it’s worse when they get their turn” is why we’re here.
Lesly,
You are safe! The other side does it means Republicans must not… It’s why we are here! That’s a refrain last heard when Democrats stopped complaining about billionaires for Bush.
How lovely. Congratulations on joining Cyrano by keeping your white plume.
here’s some more virtue:

I knew this was about drones, but also could not escape the sense that Livelsberger was also a bit of a narcissistic whacko. The super anti-gravity propulsion drone thing is a bit much. However, Chinese military age men coming across the border, with no women, is real fact, as are Chinese spy balloons over the US and Chinese gathering intel on our military installations with drones. Would a nation that doesn’t control its borders allow Chinese submarines to cruise off the coast and launch drones? I don’t know for sure, which is sad. Stupid and incompetent is as stupid and incompetent does, yet I still don’t think we’d allow that. OTOH, I can totally see the Chinese being able to launch drones from passing freight ships. Maybe Livelsberger had it part right and part wrong, but got the gist of it.
Interesting that SF had a mentally imbalanced senior NCO deployed on active duty, more so that no one noticed it nor interceded.
I don’t see any reason to raise questions concerning Livelsberger writing the email presented on the Shawn Ryan show. Does anyone, beyond just not liking the idea that he did?
Quite frankly I can not, for the life of me, understand why we’all are getting our panties in such a wad. Well maybe at the prospect of a new regime taking over after the next 16 or so days.
Like Lesly above I hit the YT wormhole for assurances as to how well off [lucky] we’ve been these past few years and …

One last thought, then I’m going silent for a long while (New Year’s resolution).
If the GB wanted to clear his conscience, then he should have contacted JAG, the UN, etc. and reported what he knew about war crimes and committed himself to testifying, whatever the consequences. Ditto Chinese gravity propulsion drones over the US.
Instead, he writes a disjointed email, which he sends to a few social media personalities, with no material proof, and then shoots himself in the midst of a dorky, limp fireworks display.
Goofy kids these goofy days. I guess it was inevitable that the – and their culture – find themselves into even the special operations community.
Shawn Ryan is not his real name. He used to run a cocaine trafficking network throughout Columbia for five years after he was in GRS. He was a coke head too and overdosed a couple times. He appears really shallow and stupid during his shows because he’s high as a kite. He’s known to gift his guests with bags of his THC gummy bears.
https://theiceman.substack.com/p/the-shawn-ryan-show
Condottiere,
You’re a liar.
Yes, after serving as a Navy SEAL and a CIA contractor, SR lost his way and got into cocaine and alcohol. He freely admits that.
However, he quit drinking and using cocaine and is quite spiritual instead. The gummy bears do NOT contain THC. He specifically states that when he hands them out as gifts and it says so on his website. Rather, they contain vitamins and nutrients. There is no evidence that is intoxicated during his shows. He looks to me to just sit and listen to his guests interjecting as minimal prompting as possible to keep the convo flowing.
This is a good example of why discourse on the internet is a massive waste of precious time. Everything is rife with and limited by disingenuous dummies recklessly saying whatever they feel like saying. Same goes for the content put out by the various “creators”. It’s all as bad as the mainstream news, which is also disingenuous dummies recklessly saying whatever they feel like saying. Perhaps that is the human condition, but at least in person interactions carry some ramifications that serve to moderate some of the BS.
Eric Newhill,
The gummies Ryan touts are CBD gummies. I’m sure there are other ingredients that can be billed vitamins and nutrients. I think there’s some other similar podcast where the interviewers and the guests drink on air though I wouldn’t call it intoxicated. I’ve only seen a few of this genre. I enjoyed the swapping of war stories for its entertainment value, but I wouldn’t use them as a general news source.
TTG,
AFAIK, CBD is not intoxicating. I believe he also sells mushroom based products – not psychedelic – but with minerals and other allegedly helpful qualities.
I tried CBD a couple years ago for physical symptoms like joint and tendon soreness. I was skeptical, but a friend told me it would work. It did not. I doubled and tripled the dose. Still didn’t help with what I wanted it to and still no mental change. IMO, CBD is snake oil.
Anyhow, I don’t think Shawn Ryan or any podcaster is a trustworthy news source. That said, I don’t think the mainstream media is trustworthy either. I have caught them presenting misleading, incomplete and just plain info about situations of which I had direct knowledge. I don’t mean I disagreed with their opinions (though I often do). I mean they got the facts wrong, omitted key facts or created facts that were not real. I’m sure you have had similar experiences.
I don’t understand the villainizing of Shawn Ryan. He simply reported facts. Livelsberger sent him – and the other guy on the show – a communication that has apparently been verified by the FBI as coming from actually originating with Livelsberger. Ryan then repeated what was in the communication. I don’t recall Ryan or the other guy stating that what Livelsberger said is true. They just presented the facts of that limited situation. Frankly, had Ryan been high as a kite, it wouldn’t matter as long as he read what Livelsberger wrote.
I really am taking a break from all of this now. It’s all BS. There is no truth out there. Everyone is debating lies with their own lies. I am interested in pursuing my own spiritual path. Mountains can fall and the sun can stop shining. I really don’t care. None of it is me.
Good luck to you.
CBD THC it’s all cannabinoid and the same to me. Garbage for weak people.
from PTSD to Gravitic Propulsion Systems to masculinity meltdown to avatar-of-our times. a tragedy of personal destruction, causes synchronized like a plane crash. I watched the Shawn & Sam show – while I do have some doubt of their sincerity, it doesn’t matter. a severely damaged human unable to distinguish His World from The World, who needed help & couldn’t find it.
what does matter is not stumbling around as a people seeking out in every personal tragedy a transcendent drama – a JFK assassination, a Pearl Harbor, an Explosion of the Maine. no way to run a civilization.
I met a guy in Mexico, former NSA …
he was paranoid!!! he seemed to believe that NSA was 10-times more frightening than the CIA. These folks participate in stuff that would make anyone insane. The environment where there is a constant focus on potential worldwide dangers. In Hawaii I met people talking about how N.Korea was going to nuke hawaii – SOON.
deep-dive is pointing out that he did not shoot himself.. examining footage… what that implies – heck if I know. Assassination before self-assassination?

Off topic I know, but more pertinent than Livelsberger’s Minifesto.
This really is remarkable.
Sam Shoemate, on 2025-01-05, modified his earlier 2025-01-03. story, about the purported email from Livelsberger.
Now he says Shoemate says he “was informed” that Livelsberger was on meds, which he changed just before he blew up his truck.
In any case, that leaves open the question of the authenticity of the lengthy “manifesto”.
https://youtu.be/ssLdhH2hA9Q?
The speculation in the comments section is that the Feds got to him,
and compelled Shoemate to modify what he said just two days earlier.
“he says” should be deleted, either mentally or physically.
That was an editing error
Lost me at “gravitic propulsion systems”, and it went downhill from there. Wackjob; sadly, that’s all too common these days.
OTOH, yeah, maybe it *does* have something to do with “filling our bodies with processed foods” and “no sunlight, no steps, no fresh air, no hope”. But the bad-acid mishmash of his proposed “solutions” is pretty scary. Did his brain get rattled by IEDs Over There?
Sad.
I’ve heard the Ukrainians are doing some bang bang in Kursk. More pertinent than Livelsberger’s Minifesto [sic].
“More pertinent …”
Pertinent to what?
Precisely what is the pertinence of Ukraine to the U.S.A.?
OTOH, all of the writings attributed to Livelsberger seem to me to be quite pertinent to the U.S.A.
Agreed. Livelsberger’s writings are as pertinent as the Unabomber’s were. In other words zilch, the ravings of lunatics.
So cray-cray went kaboom. A sad but common severe PTSD story. Is the latest distraction-festo AI generated or the usual 4chan/8chan whatever caliber people trolling the net after a tragedy?
Meanwhile H1Bs and Vivek have disappeared from the Narrative! But, as Al kindly reminds everyone, PizzaGate people, UK version, and coverup thereof are all the rage. I hope no one suggests someone in the UK take handgun and fire a round into the floor of the Crown Protection Service HQ. Though that ought to serve to get the boomer media to end the story like it did with pizzagate. Other than only criminals seem to get firearms there. Might be hard to do.
I recall seeing Limey cops at Heathrow with some damned big machine pistols. Must have been my imagination, eh?

Interesting mix of far right and far left talking points in his communications. Seems to also be more than a bit of paranoia as well as narcissism.
Matthew Livelsberger’s ex-girlfriend, former army nurse Alicia Arritt, has revealed his signs of post-traumatic stress disorder:
“…In 2020, he was having paranoia and nightmares…. “He described all the same symptoms as a textbook,… He was exhausted and depressed. He was gaining weight and he couldn’t think….I first met him after a recent deployment to Afghanistan and he was struggling with some concussions and blast injuries he had. He was just exhausted from the back to back tours…There’s a lot of stigma in his unit about seeking mental health help and if he got flagged for having depression or having a TBI, he would’ve been made non-deployable and he absolutely did not want that. He wanted to be there for his guys . The VA has gotten so much better about caring for these veterans, but active duty, they don’t treat them. They just keep them in the war until they’re used up and then the VA takes care of them after they’re out”

First, congratulations on making this update!
According to online reports, there was already 8 inches of snow on the ground in Stafford as of 0900 this morning.
I thought that would keep you busy 🙂
As to “Matt Berg”,
I think it is worth recognizing his accomplishments.
Here is an interview with one of his fellow Green Berets, Tim Kennedy, who is quite complimentary about Berg:
https://youtu.be/19kfKPhVfug
Another complimentary interview about Berg is
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/cybertruck-explosion-suspect-matthew-livelsberger-vegas-b2672940.html
Larry Johnson is pretty skeptical about much of the reporting on Berg.
He has devoted three posts so far to this subject.
https://sonar21.com/las-vegas-bomber-story-takes-an-alarming-turn/
“The “facts” the FBI is telling the public do not add up.”
https://sonar21.com/the-fbi-account-of-the-las-vegas-bomber-story-does-not-make-sense/
“I will make this simple —
the FBI is lying about how the person inside the Tesla truck that exploded at the entrance of Trump Las Vegas died.
I do not know if the person inside the Tesla driver’s compartment was Matt Livelsberger or not.
Whoever it was did not die from a gunshot to the head.”
(Note: I have read the medical examiner determined Berg died from a gunshot into his mouth.)
https://sonar21.com/whats-really-going-on-with-the-matt-livelsberger-saga/
“Man, this thing is a hot mess.
The head fakes and misinformation grows with each passing day.
So, let me try to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
[LJ raises six issues, one of which is:]
Livelsberger claims to hold a TSSCI clearance with USAP UAP
(i.e., Unacknowledged Special Access Program for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
Is that possible? Yes. In the event that a UAP lands or crashes or is discovered on the ground, the military needs a special unit to go out and recover it.
I am not saying that is the case for Livelsberger, but merely suggesting that his claim to hold such a clearance may not be farfetched.”
LJ sends a lot of time claiming a Desert Eagle pistol was unlikely to be what killed Berg.
But was there another pistol in the Tesla?
The claims in Livelsberger’s manifesto about the existence of secret “gravitic propulsion” are so far-fetched that they undermine all other associated claims, such as U.S. war crimes and the state of American society. It is clear that Livelsberger does not want to be ridiculed or have his core assertions discredited. Therefore, it is perplexing why “gravitic propulsion” is included in the manifesto.
Additionally, it raises the question of why Livelsberger’s purported private email is labeled a public manifesto. According to ChatGPT, “A manifesto is a written declaration that publicly presents the intentions, motives, or views of an individual or group, particularly in the context of political, social, or artistic movements. It serves as a call to action and outlines the beliefs and goals that the authors advocate.”
Media reports indicate that shooters and bombers typically share their manifestos not via email but directly on social media, making them available on the public internet. These manifestos are often removed from the internet, and their distribution can be a punishable offense. Consequently, only opinions regarding these manifestos tend to remain visible.
I have enjoyed playing golf at Patrick AFB, now SFB, for many years, but now I have to apply for special access due to the two guys in Las Vegas and New Orleans. You can get a 30 day Visitors Pass, or my choice, a one year golf pass. From what I heard, this now applies to all military installations in the US.
Why is the USAF allowing civilians to have year long access to a military golf course.
They need the money to maintain the course.
Maybe, but given it’s right by the runway and FBI Director Wray’s parting shot on 60 minutes is all about sleeper cells there shouldn’t be any access. It sounds like security hasn’t changed since the days when my family first moved to FL in the early ’70s.
Security was rather good, even before this latest action that may be an overreaction. As far as I know, there have not been any prior problems with “guests”. At least not at Patrick Space Force Base. The area where the golf course is situated is not next to the runway. Actually, A1A is closer to it and the other day it was closed for 3 hours as security and the Sheriff’s Office were investigating an abandoned SUV near the main gate. Besides, most guests can be found at the shopping area in addition to the golf course and all of it is at one end of the base. Actually, I suspect this new requirement will quietly disappear, since they have to use a lot of resources to implement it and from what I saw at the office where permits are issued, they are already ticking off a lot of people. A while back they decided to close the south gate on weekends. That lasted 2 weeks, since that is the closest to that shopping area.
