In an alarming email received by the host, a former Green Beret makes explosive allegations about U.S. military activities. This episode of the Shawn Ryan Show delves into claims of advanced drone technology, potential war crimes in Afghanistan, and even smuggled Iranian missiles within the U.S.
The email purportedly reveals insider knowledge about secret "gravitic propulsion" drones with stealth and payload capabilities. However, more concerning are allegations of the U.S. covering up civilian casualties from airstrikes in Afghanistan in 2019, acts deemed war crimes by the UN. The summary examines these allegations and the military's response, highlighting the need for transparency.

Days before the Las Vegas car bombing, Sam Shoemate received an email from Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger containing startling claims:
According to Livelsberger, the U.S. and China have secret "gravitic propulsion" drones with capabilities like high speed, stealth, and limitless payload. Livelsberger also alleged his involvement in covering up airstrikes in Afghanistan in 2019 that killed hundreds of civilians despite known presence - acts deemed war crimes by the UN.
Fearing abduction or death, Livelsberger urgently wanted to share this information with media outlets like Fox News before a certain date, after which he might be forced to "disappear."
The UN asserts the U.S. airstrikes in Nimruz, Afghanistan likely violated international law by killing civilians at alleged drug facilities. Livelsberger claimed being part of targeting over 125 buildings, 65 struck, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths in a single day, despite awareness of their presence.
He alleges the U.S. government, military, DEA, and CIA worked to cover up these potential war crimes and make them "disappear."
Livelsberger warned of "gravitic propulsion" drones used by China and U.S., with extreme capabilities like unlimited payload, high speed, stealth, and hover ability - potentially displayed as a "show of force" by China against the U.S. East Coast.
Separately, Shoemate revealed Iranian surface-to-air missiles were smuggled into the U.S., prompting security changes for transporting President Trump due to concerns over aircraft targeting. While some were intercepted, the initial batch remains unaccounted for.
The serious allegations prompted the Army's Criminal Investigation Division and Chief of Staff's Office to get involved, though Shoemate questioned if they aimed to protect individuals rather than investigate thoroughly.
Livelsberger sought out the FBI, but Shoemate felt they showed little urgency or understanding of military terms when he provided the email. He criticized Army Public Affairs seeming more concerned with the command's image than transparency.
1-Page Summary
Sam Shoemate received an email from a Green Beret named Matthew Livelsberger only days before the Las Vegas car bombing attack, which contained startling claims about secret drone technology and covered-up war crimes.
Sam Shoemate, a known figure for exposing unethical behaviors while protecting whistleblowers, was initially dismissive when he received a manifesto-like message via email. However, it became clear that the email was from Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty SFTM sergeant out of the 10th Special Forces Group. Livelsberger reported having urgent information to disclose about drones on the East Coast and alleged activities from 2019 in Afghanistan.
Livelsberger's email contained information about "gravidic propulsion systems powered aircraft," which were reportedly being deployed by China from submarines along the East Coast and were also in use by the U.S. He described this technology as posing the single most dangerous threat to national security due to their alleged capabilities, such as high speed, stealth, and "unlimited payload capacity."
Livelsberger also claimed to have knowledge of covered-up war crimes from airstrikes in Nimruz province, Afghanistan, in 2019. He stated that his involvement included targeting over 125 buildings, with 65 struck, resulting in the death of hundreds of civilians despite the awareness ...
The alarming email from a Green Beret about planned attacks, advanced drone technology, and alleged war crimes
The 2019 airstrikes in Nimruz province, Afghanistan, are under scrutiny for alleged war crimes and possible cover-ups by U.S. agencies, as claimed by a whistleblower.
The United Nations has raised serious concerns regarding the airstrikes carried out by the U.S. in Nimruz province, particularly targeting alleged drug production facilities. The UN maintains that this approach dangerously undermines the principle of distinction in armed conflict, placing the civilian population and infrastructure at risk. The UNAMA (United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan) in conjunction with the UN Human Rights Office, concluded that these drug facilities and the individuals associated with them, likely workers, may not be lawfully targeted and are entitled to protection under international law.
Livelsberger revealed that he was responsible for targeting more than 125 buildings, 65 of which were struck, leading to hundreds of civilian deaths in a single day. This claim sheds light on a devastating impact on civilians and potentially serious violations ...
The 2019 incident in Afghanistan and the alleged cover-up of war crimes
Experts are raising alarms over advanced drone technologies and the smuggling of Iranian missiles into the United States, indicating a new level of threat.
Livelsberger has informed the public about the existence of "gravitic propulsion" systems, which are believed to be used in highly advanced drones by China and the U.S. These drones are described as having capabilities that pose serious security risks, including an unlimited payload capacity, extreme speed and stealth, and the ability to remain stationary over sensitive areas such as the White House.
This advanced technology is allegedly being displayed by China as a "show of force," hinting at the country's potential to launch an attack on the United States, specifically targeting the U.S. East Coast.
Sam Shoemate revealed through two sources—one south of the U.S. border and one within the U.S. government—that Iranian-made surface-to-air missiles were smuggled into the country. These missiles are often referred to as "man pads."
Shoemate emphasized the gravity of the situation by pointing out that the smuggled missiles could be used to ...
The threat of advanced drone technology and potential Iranian missiles in the United States
The email containing serious allegations received by Matthew Livelsberger was not only of interest to the media but caught the attention of significant figures within the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies, leading to a complex governmental response.
Upon receiving the contentious email, military and law enforcement officials, notably the CID (Army Criminal Investigation Division) and the office of the Army Chief of Staff, took substantial interest in its contents. The issue's gravity meant that it rapidly made its way to the upper echelons of the Army. However, there was skepticism regarding the government's motives. Sam Shoemate insinuated that the authorities seemed more intent on protecting specific individuals than on conducting a comprehensive investigation into the claims.
The involvement of high-level military offices exemplified the serious nature of the allegations, hinting at the potential for an investigation of alleged war crimes, potentially even under UN scrutiny. The actions taken by the Department of Defense left Shoemate questioning the reasons behind the scramble and the prompt delegation of the issue to CID.
Shawn Ryan's confirmation of correspondence checks revealed that Livelsberger was determined to reach out to multiple parties including the FBI, hinting at an intent to ensure the information was taken seriously. Despite Livelsberger's efforts to escalate the matter, Shoemate was disillusioned ...
