NC’s military base becomes questionable connection between New Year’s attackers 

North Carolina’s Fort Liberty military base, formerly known as Fort Bragg, has become a questionable parallel between the New Orleans ISIS terrorist and the Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber, two violent attacks that were executed on New Year’s Day in vehicles rented through Turo, another similarity.

In the early hours of Wednesday, veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed 14 people and wounded dozens more when he drove a truck through crowds on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Later on Wednesday morning, a Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, with Army Special Forces soldier Matthew Livelsberger found dead inside.

The FBI has said there are no definitive links between the attack in New Orleans and the bombing in Las Vegas, though they are not ruling anything out.

Both attacks were carried out by Americans with not just connections to the US military but ties to Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. Both men served on the base in the Army at different times, and they also both served in Afghanistan in 2009, but there is no sign that they served in the same unit or province, according to reports circulating.

Furthering questions about Fort Liberty-tied individuals, Ryan Routh, the second man who attempted to shoot Trump at a Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reportedly visited Fort Bragg 147 times within four years.

The bizarre coincidences have stirred suspicion and discussions online about Fort Bragg’s role, with some calling for an investigation into the military base. The Carolina Journal reached out to Fort Liberty for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

What do these 4 all have in common?

Fort Bragg.

Our military is compromised from top to bottom.

We need Trump and Hegseth to clean house immediately.

The Department of Defense said Friday afternoon that no department support had been requested in response to either incident in New Orleans or Las Vegas. During a press conference, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said there is no evidence that the two were at the base at the same time, though she urged further clarification with the US Army.

“Can you definitively say whether Livelsberger and Jabbar ever served at the same base or in the same unit together?” a reporter asked.

“Well Army has their records, and I’d refer you to Army to further clarify where they served. I’m not tracking – and I think the FBI said this – that there’s a connection between the two events,” said Singh. “I’m not tracking that there’s an overlap in their service record. That being said, I would refer you to Army just to speak more to that. But at this moment, I’m not tracking that they had an overlap at any time.”

Individuals close to both perpetrators have said they saw no warning signs. With a strong commitment to the nation and the military, Livelsberger was described by his uncle as a “very, very patriotic American.” A former neighbor of Jabbar said that “he was no terrorist to me” and would offer to help carry her groceries. Jabbar’s brother said what he did “does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
