“Heading In”
Day 35: The Underreported Manifesto
Day 35 — December 4, 2025
More details emerged of the perpetrator of the Las Vegas explosion of a Cyber Truck outside Trump Tower. He was an active-duty US Army Green Beret, on leave for the holiday, who penned a manifesto explaining that his act was meant to be a “wake up call”:
“Focus on strength and winning. Masculinity is good and men must be leaders. Strength is a deterrent and fear is the product…Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.”
He provides a direct appeal to “[r]ally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy.”
And he calls on his fellow servicembers, veterans and “all Americans” to “be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary.”
“Hold until the purge is complete.”
Here is the complete text:
Few articles I read about the perpetrator mentioned how explicitly political his writings were.
Saw it reported on Talking Points Memo. As of yesterday, major media outlets, including NPR, did not report the disturbing details about his hatred of Democrats or his support for Trump and Musk. I expect better from NPR.
I read a big part of this on either Bluesky or another substack. I find it frightening the hate and lies being perpetuated in our military. What are our military leaders going to do to clean up this toxic mess?
