We have so many failed and corrupt institutions in America that it’s impossible to tell with any degree of certainty what just happened. We had back-to-back terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve. The FBI initially said the New Orleans attack was not a terrorist attack—when we could all tell that it obviously was. The Tesla cyber-truck bombing in Las Vegas is so weird that we have no idea what happened there.
The two attackers also have potential links to Ryan Routh, the CIA asset who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump on his Palm Beach golf course back in September.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar was a Texas real estate agent who served in the US Army. He drove a work truck that he rented on Turo to New Orleans and carried out his attack there on New Year’s Eve. This looks like another garden-variety Islamic terrorist attack, similar to the ones that we had so often when Barack Obama was in office. Jabbar served at Fort Bragg, the North Carolina base that they’re currently calling “Fort Liberty.”
Jabbar set a couple of IEDs in New Orleans prior to the attack, but they didn’t explode. NBC News is now reporting that Jabbar used a rare explosive compound in the bombs, which has never been used previously in any terror attack in the US or Europe. Federal investigators aren’t sure where Jabbar would have received the training to even make these bombs in the first place.
The Las Vegas suicide bombing a few hours later was off-the-charts weird. Matthew Livelsberger supposedly rented a Tesla truck (also on the app Turo) and drove from the Denver area to Las Vegas, where the truck was detonated in front of Donald Trump’s casino/hotel. The bomb was a combination of gas cans and mortar-style fireworks.
So, the Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger blew himself up with an amateur bomb despite having advanced bomb-making training, while the real estate agent Shamsud-Din Jabbar put together highly sophisticated bombs that failed to go off.
Both men served in the Army and were stationed at Fort Bragg at the same time. Both men deployed to Afghanistan at the same time during the War on Terror. The Army says that despite these coincidences, the two men never served directly with each other. They were in different units.
Some weird data points:
The FBI says that it recovered Livelsberger’s iPhone from the demolished cyber truck. Livelsberger had been emailing former special forces personalities from his phone in the days leading up to the attack. He sent the messages from an Android phone—not an iPhone.
The FBI says that Livelsberger shot himself in the head with a Desert Eagle pistol before the bomb went off. This is a bald-faced lie. Surveillance video from another angle, which you can find on social media now, shows the person in the vehicle sitting upright as the bomb detonated. The person’s head is moving around and they were clearly alive. We say “the person” because we’re not even sure that the individual in the vehicle was Matthew Livelsberger.
The fire from the cyber-truck resulted in Livelsberger’s AR-15 and his .50 Desert Eagle pistol both melting (allegedly). However, his plastic military ID and his paper passport somehow survived, so the FBI could easily identify him. That makes no sense.
People who knew Livelsberger claim that he was a Trump supporter. This seems like another lie. Livelsberger was photographed at one point wearing a “Glory to Ukraine” t-shirt. He was also trying to recruit American soldiers and special operators to travel to Ukraine to fight Russia. I’ve never met a single Trump voter who supports the war in Ukraine or who would go out of their way to try to recruit mercenaries to go fight there. Have you?
Which brings us to Ryan Routh, who tried to shoot Donald Trump on the golf course four months ago. Routh made more than 100 visits to Fort Bragg during his global trips to try to recruit fighters for Ukraine. All three of these people have ties to the same military base. And yet we are supposed to believe that there is no connection between them or their attacks.
We have no idea what to make of all this. Maybe Kash Patel will be able to provide us with some answers after he’s confirmed as the new FBI Director. We certainly can’t trust what the FBI is telling us right now.
