Drones, UAPs, and Controversial Claims

As 2025 kicks off, U.S. officials have been on high alert following a pair of New Years Day attacks that occurred in separate American cities only hours apart. One of the incidents, a suicide bombing involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, has also become the focus of controversy for reasons few might have predicted: new allegations that the bomber had possessed knowledge of U.S. war crimes, secret propulsion technologies being used by China, and a supposed UAP unacknowledged special access program. 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the strange allegations that recently surfaced during an appearance by intelligence analyst Sam Shoemate on the podcast of Shawn Ryan. Both Ryan and Shoemate say they received email communications from an individual who identified themselves as Matthew Livelsberger, the same individual's whose body was found at the scene of the Las Vegas incident a short time later. Is there any weight to the shocking allegations, or is there evidence supporting the possibility of an unfortunate hoax?
