Agreed. Not to mention blowing the head clean off.

Hate to admit it but there is an air of sketchiness about this and the new fangled self driving capable-ish vehicle doesn't help.

Nor does the years of our government intentionally lying to us, particularly the FBI.

Did anyone else watch the journalist walkthrough of the NOLA terrorist’s house? Since when does the FBI allow journalists to walk through an active crime scene full of evidence? The entire thing came off as staged and fake.

Yeah, that's insane, how is that scene not locked down tight 2 days after the incident??? Nothing about either of these events adds up, IMO.

I read after the authorities inspected the house, the owner let the media in. A stupid move by the authorities and the owner.

Very suspect that the owner or the media would be allowed anywhere near that house considering the high profile crime. Also they have apparently locked down that neighborhood several times to have the bomb squad inspect suspicious packages.

That is way too convenient to be believable.

Nope. Not a chance. Something is being covered up…poorly.

Totally agree. He also sent random text messages about how cool the Cybertruck was to ex-girlfriends a few days before his death, women he hadn’t talked to in years. None of it is believable.

Keeps getting weirder. Former SEAL/CIA podcaster Shawn Ryan had a guest on who claimed to receive an email from the Vegas bomber several days before his death. He was supposedly attempting to blow the whistle on drone technology and war crimes in Afghanistan. Ryan was contacted by multiple govt representatives encouraging him to not air the episode or release the email text.

NEW: FBI says they have "strong evidence" that the email shared on Shawn Ryan's show *was* sent by Livelsberger before the explosion.

The statement was made just 1 hour after Ryan released the episode.

In the email, the individual believed to be Livelsberger said the NJ drones were operated by a "gravitic propulsion system."

The email suggested that the drones could have been operated by China.

"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," the email claims.

"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 coms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time."

Investigators have not yet said what Livelsberger's state of mind was at the time of the incident.

Deluded?

We are being completely snowed. The man was months from full retirement and had an exemplary service record. He was a strong Trump supporter. With inauguration less than a month away, the entire story makes no sense. Why would the guy take his own life to send a “message”, just weeks before Trump takes the WH?

And as I understand, there was no specific message. Just that the world is screwed up. PTSD seems an easy excuse, nothing more.

But he was, per his gravitic propulsion email, also quietly bat**** crazy.

If the email is legit, I agree. But who’s to say it isn’t a plant. Maybe he was trying to blow the whistle on corruption and they added the gravity drive stuff to make him look like a kook. That’s a pretty standard government play, make somebody look like a nut so nobody listens to him. Or at this point what the hell, let’s just go full alien technology that can warp gravity.

After the show Shawn Ryan posted that he and his family are going to “disappear for a little bit”. Showmanship or genuine concern?

Maybe he described it poorly, or misheard what it was called.

So here it is… just posted. The cybertruck will come to you… on its own. Interesting ending words too.
