The first and most obvious reason is because the police have reported that he died from a GSW to his head 'prior' to the explosion, yet there were no reported gunshots in the 15-20 seconds before the Cybertruck exploded.
Needless to say, it is odd that one would shoot themselves in the head with a 50-caliber Desert Eagle right before blowing themselves up. It simply makes no sense.
I've seen some people saying, "maybe he did not want to burn to death so he shot himself first," but I believe that is silly. Any professional trying to carry out an actual attack would want to ensure their explosion went off without issue. They would not kill themselves before hand and take the chance of wasting the opportunity.
Also, the rifle he supposedly had in the vehicle had no iron sights nor any other optics, which basically makes it worthless for any type of engagement. Another red flag.
The second reason is because he was a highly experienced Special Forces soldier that would not have created such an abomination of an explosive device that was both silly and ineffective.
He was SF for long enough to have used a CARVER matrix and to understand basic explosives. If the intent was political, the intent was missed due to the second-rate explosive he supposedly used.
We are trained in Home Made Explosives (HMEs). He could have gotten everything he needed from a local hardware store to level the entire bottom floor of the Trump hotel. There is simply no way he thought the combustibles he had in the back of that bulletproof truck would have been enough to do any damage to anything.
The third reason is that his Signal safety number changed just before the explosion, and then somehow his photo and safety number changed AFTER the explosion.
Clearly this was manipulated by somebody other than him, as he was deceased and would not have been able to change anything. Find who changed his signal info and you find who shot him in the head. x.com/APhilosophae/s…
The fourth reason is that GBs that knew him are convinced that he could not have done this, nor would have had any reason to do so.
@angertab has also reported that he was approached by someone pretending to be a GB previously on his team, claiming that Matthew was suicidal so that it would be recorded if they reported it.
Again, find who this person is, and you likely find the culprit behind the entire thing. x.com/angertab/statu…
The fifth reason is that he was still Active Duty, had just had a 6 month old baby with his new wife, and had a literal multitude of jobs ahead of him when he retired.
Yes, I understand that sometimes people end their own lives for one reason or another and it does not make sense to us, but all of this coupled with the evidence we have so far makes me believe that he was, indeed, a patsy.
We need to see every single piece of evidence from this investigation and if anything is withheld, then it only further confirms my suspicions that this was a setup to frame one of our best soldiers with a heinous crime.
Also, on a side note, the 50 cal shot to his head ensured that his entire head was little more than splatter, destroying any hope of obtaining and matching dental records in the process.
Tell me how this smells…

We call it the Department of Defense. Sounds nice. Defensive. Harmless.
But here’s the truth: words matter. Messaging matters. And that name? It muddies what the department actually does and why. 🧵
From 1789 to 1947, it was called the Department of War. That wasn’t a mistake. It was clarity. It told the American people (and the world) that the US took war seriously, not as an afterthought, but as the ultimate tool to secure peace.
When Truman changed it to “Defense” after WWII, it was about optics. A softer, more “peaceful” spin in the dawn of the Cold War. But the result? Generations have grown up thinking war is something we avoid talking about instead of something we prepare for to prevent worse.
Think you know the most brilliant American battle in WWII?
I’ll give you a hint, it’s not Yorktown, and it’s not Normandy.
It’s Midway (June 1942).
Why? Because the US Navy pulled off the biggest “gotcha” ambush in history, flipped the Pacific War, and did it with math nerds, brave pilots, and one five minute miracle. 🧵 #WWII
Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan looked unstoppable. Their plan: hit Midway Island, lure US carriers out, ambush, and profit.
Translation: “Come here America, let’s finish you off.”
They had no idea we had read their mail.
US codebreakers cracked Japan’s secret radio codes. When Japan said “AF is short on water,” our cryptographers went, “AF = Midway, you sneaky devils.”
So Adm. Nimitz parked his 3 carriers northeast of Midway, hidden, waiting with popcorn (and torpedos).
Populism is the ultimate costume party. It can drape itself in flags, faith, or “freedom” and still march the crowd straight into collectivism. Today we call it the “woke right.” History has seen this trick before. Oh yes, many, many times before. 🧵
The so called “woke right” screams about defending liberty, yet in practice it mirrors the same collectivist habits as the woke left: moral policing, punishing dissent, elevating group identity over individual freedom.
This isn’t new. It’s a script. Populism promises empowerment, rallies “the people” against “the elites,” and then consolidates everyone into a collective where individuality is crushed. Different slogans, same outcome.
Lt. Col. (R) Tony Aguilar is not only a liar, but he is also an unhinged, incompetent narcissist, and I can prove it.
Buckle up, because this thread includes receipts that proves Tony was fired for cause, begged for his job back, resorted to threats when he was denied, and ultimately made up a story to get back at his previous employer and gain personal fame and notoriety. He even forged an official document that he then sent to the press.
Let's start with a bit about Tony's background in the Army, a career that looks fine on paper, but has some striking red flags that those that understand the Special Forces community will immediately recognize.
Tony boasts that he "commanded from the Platoon level to the Battalion level," in an email I will share later, but what he fails to disclose is that none of those commands were in Special Forces. His only Special Forces command was as a CPT on an ODA. His subsequent commands were at SWCS (a training group) and 18th Airborne, respectively.
For those of you unaware, if a Special Forces officer is not chosen to command in Special Forces at the Company and then Battalion level, then they were passed over for a reason. The scraps are commanding a non Special Forces unit (unless you were picked to command at JSOC or some other SMU, which is entirely different), and it is a clear sign that this officer was not fit for command in the regiment.
After his 18th Airborne command (yes, it is telling for a SF officer to command in a regular army unit), he found himself returning to SWCS as a staff officer miles away from the thought of a command billet. He then floundered there doing nothing of value for a few years before finally being forced out because of the inability to continue moving up in rank.
Now, it's time for the real information. Despite Tony's claim that he resigned from his position, he was most definitely fired. It is actually hilarious that Tony would try to claim he resigned when he sent the texts below shortly after being fired from his position.
He starts with: "Dan, I can be of value to the team. You know that. I just retired from 25 years in the Army in March, just a bit over 60 days. It's hard to break or even recognize "the way I am."
Does a person that just resigned send a text like this? "Tomorrow and Sunday are my '2 days off'. I want to stay on the team and on the contract. Put in an ops support role. Put the guy coming on Saturday as the JOC TL, and I'll be support to ops."
Do I need to break this down more? You can see the response text, you can see him admitting he was wrong and that he was clearly relieved for cause, as the reasonings for his dismissal were discussed with him. "I accept responsibility for not being self aware enough to self correct. But I can. I will."
He was fired. He admits he was fired. He begs for his job back. Now he is lying about it.
Lt. Col. (R) Tony Aguilar was fired from his position while on a contract in Israel because he is everything GBs and the SF regiment as a whole despise, which is why he sold this nonsense video to the BBC.
Notice he offers zero proof of Israeli soldiers doing anything wrong.
He is a liar. His reputation had always been trash. While he was Active Duty, he ended his career in non-operational roles because operational units refused to touch him.
He is a perfect example of a worthless and out of touch officer.
He was despised when he was in group. He was despised in the PMC world. He was one of the few that slipped through the cracks and made it into the regiment despite being a phenomenal piece of shit.
His reputation was horrible before this, but now he is blacklisted from every SF and SOF organization in existence. Hope they paid you well, Tony, because your ass is persona non grata.
I know Tony. I know many, many people that know Tony. I know that they will all agree with my assessment of both his reputation and character.
He is persona non grata in the SF community no. No PMC, corporation with military contracts, or non profit will ever work with him again.
