WAKE UP! Read the Trump Hotel Bomber's Chilling Messages Calling on Militias to Purge D.C. of Democrats

Source: MEDIAite

Jan 3rd, 2025, 9:46 pm


Police say the man who detonated a Tesla Cybertruck on Wednesday morning in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas called on Americans to use violence if necessary to get Democrats out of power. Seven people were hurt in the blast that investigators said 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger planned for days and carried out just as he took his own life with a firearm.

According to KLAS, the Las Vegas CBS affiliate, Livelsberger left behind two notes police were able to recover from phones and a laptop in the burned-out vehicle. In those notes, which investigators made available, the Green Beret called on fellow service members and anyone else who believed the country was on the wrong track to engage in a “purge” of the country’s capital.

The decorated combat veteran specifically called on Democrats to be culled from Washington. One note, which KLAS reported police confirmed was left behind on a “note-taking application,” Livelsberger allegedly wrote:

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.
-MSG Matt Livelsberger 18Z, 10th Special Forces Group

Dude didn't get the memo that GOP controls all 3 branches of federal government.

America doesn't want to acknowledge the threat of MAGA violence, let alone white American suicide bombers.

And the worst part is how many MAGA are out there who are capable of these things. We don't know who's crazy enough to do something until they do it.

What I see with the republicans in charge of all three branches of our government is that these people, christo-fascists if you like, will never be satisfied until they have killed the last "woke person" in this country. In others words anything decent we have in our lives. We have allowed the most radical factions in this country to take over our thinking, if you can call it thinking. It's the Primacy of the Male Will. What a way to go.

More shocking is that this absolute dunce was promoted and promoted and promoted in the military, though somebody was wise enough to never offer him a commission.

Toxic masculinity on full parade.
Also a failed human being who realized he was destined to soon become a full fledged incel - that nobody could, would, or wanted to love - because he was a macho meathead prone to violence and obsessed with unwarranted hatred of the "Others".

The Musk - Cybertruck & trDump -Tower portico were his caskets and chariot to carry him into the next and higher dimension of Toxic Masculinity where he could complete God's mission and plan for him.

(Or more likely a Fascist coward who was a failure at mixing, blending, or plugging into society. So he conjured up a way to dramatically and theatrically bow out by way of a performative exit so he could save himself from becoming known as a failure and a cuck and/or an incel - rather than the macho gladiator he would prefer to be known.)

This stunt seems to have been designed to leave with his manhood intact as his exit was made. While blaming the pinko Libs for all his life's problems and failures - then him tagging the Libs for causing all the ills of the world.

Real men take ownership of their mistakes and correct them. Cowards point the finger of blame at someone else - and then run for cover. Suicide and death was his refuge from his knotted up and twisted up life of excessive and unbridled machismo -that became his religion.

Fox propaganda watchers all who got the rest of their "news" from fecesbook or on their phones from their friends in e.g. Texas.

Actually basically all the ones I discussed politics with = 100% of the sample size thought this way. There was no penetrating the impermeable dome of their crazy worldview. Ruined minds for life.

But completely twisted backwards as to who is causing them. The answer is the Republicans and their corporate oligarchs who he helped to elect.

Greed and gluttony has consumed us. The top 1% decided long ago they weren’t going to bring everyone else with them. (Elon musk and all of his billionaire buddies aka the oligarchs)

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. (Lack of self control, addictive algorithm produced by corporations and the food conglomerates)

Our population is too fat to join the military ( The five corporations who control all of our food production)

The income inequality in this country and cost-of-living is outrageous. The number of homeless on our street is embarrassing and disgusting. (Corporations & venture capitalists)

Hell, Sadam Hussein dug his hidey hole just beneath the surface. It seems to me that took more courage in the face of danger than your leaders can display. And don't even get me started on that coward Trump who can't even show his face in court.
