Las Vegas bomber Matthew Livelsberger Manifesto Revealed
Las Vegas, NV – A chilling manifesto attributed to Matthew Livelsberger, the suspect in the New Year’s Day Las Vegas bombing, has come to light, offering disturbing insights into his motivations and state of mind.
The manifesto, sent via email to a contact identified as “Samosaur” the day before the attack, outlines Livelsberger’s claims of national security threats, personal grievances, and alleged war crimes.
- Claims of Foreign Threats
Livelsberger alleged that recent drone sightings on the U.S. East Coast were connected to China, which he described as deploying advanced gravitic propulsion systems via submarines. He called these aircraft “the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed,” emphasizing their stealth and payload capacity.“They can park it over the White House if they wanted. It’s checkmate,” he wrote. - Paranoia and Perceived Surveillance
The email reveals Livelsberger believed he was being tracked by federal agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security, as he attempted to reach Mexico.“They are looking to move on me but won’t because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED,” he claimed, referencing a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. - Allegations of U.S. War Crimes
Livelsberger detailed his involvement in alleged cover-ups of civilian casualties during airstrikes in Nimruz Province, Afghanistan, in 2019. He accused U.S. military and intelligence agencies of knowingly targeting civilian structures and burying evidence of these actions.“I conducted targeting for these strikes… 65 buildings were struck despite civilian presence, killing hundreds in a single day,” he alleged, calling the operations war crimes that were suppressed by the administration. - Appeals to the Media
Livelsberger urged his contact to elevate the information to the media, warning of catastrophic consequences if ignored.“You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation,” he wrote.
The FBI has verified the email’s authenticity, noting Livelsberger’s military background and deployment in Afghanistan. They suspect he was suffering from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which may have contributed to his radicalization.
The manifesto also contained specific details for verification, including references to Livelsberger’s military assignments, a LinkedIn profile under the name “Matt Berg,” and his clearance level.
Livelsberger carried out the bombing on New Year’s Day at the valet area of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The explosion killed the bomber and injured multiple others. A subsequent investigation revealed Livelsberger had rented a Tesla Cybertruck in Denver before driving through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. Authorities tracked his movements using Tesla charging station data.
In the wake of the attack, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced increased patrols on the Strip and downtown areas. LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill stated that while the attack had no clear ties to broader terror networks, its implications for national security remain concerning.
Related Incidents
The attack coincided with another violent event earlier that day in New Orleans, where a driver intentionally plowed a truck into a crowd, killing at least 15 people. Authorities have not found evidence linking the two incidents.
A press briefing by law enforcement is scheduled to provide further updates.

NEW ALBANY, OH — A deadly shooting at a warehouse in New Albany, located approximately 15 miles northeast of Columbus, left one person dead and five others hospitalized late Tuesday night.
The shooting occurred shortly before 11 p.m. at KDC/One, a manufacturing facility specializing in beauty and personal care products.
According to the New Albany Police Department (NAPD), the suspect has been identified as Bruce Reginald Foster III, an employee at the facility.
Authorities are actively searching for Foster, who is believed to have fled the area following the incident.
Police confirmed that Foster had been present at the warehouse for several hours prior to the shooting.
Investigators believe the attack was targeted, although there were no reports of an argument or altercation leading up to the violence.
One individual was pronounced dead at the scene, while five others were transported to nearby hospitals.
The conditions of the injured victims have not been publicly disclosed, and authorities have not released information regarding their identities or genders.
During a press conference on Wednesday morning, New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones described the situation as a “fluid investigation,” emphasizing the tragic nature of the event. “This is quite a tragedy, and the investigation has really just begun,” Jones stated.
A firearm was recovered inside the building; however, police have not confirmed whether the suspect remains armed.
Hundreds of employees were evacuated from the facility as law enforcement secured the scene.
The U.S. Marshals and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are assisting local police in searching multiple locations for Foster.
Authorities believe he has left the immediate area but continue to pursue leads on his whereabouts.
The facility remains closed and could be shut down for up to 12 hours as the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) assists with crime scene processing.
