As the world entered the year 2025, the United States was shaken by shocking incidents in cities like New Orleans and Las Vegas. During New Year’s celebrations, a truck plowing into a crowd in New Orleans resulted in at least 15 deaths and dozens of injuries. The FBI is investigating this as a "terrorist act," but debates are growing about whether other motives could be behind the attack. On the same day, a Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas brought another incident into the spotlight. In this piece, I will focus on these events, their potential terrorist links, and assess their implications for the U.S. economy and global markets.
The New Orleans Attack and Terrorism Possibility
Yesterday, during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, a driver drove a truck into a crowd, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens. The FBI is investigating the incident as a "terrorist act." The attacker was reportedly a former U.S. Army member and an American citizen. Additionally, according to the FBI, an ISIS flag was found in the vehicle. Recently, a similar truck attack occurred in Germany.
It’s possible that the presence of the ISIS flag in the vehicle could be an attempt by the U.S. to stage a new 9/11-style attack to justify further intervention in the Middle East and Syria.
The Cybertruck Explosion in Las Vegas
Also yesterday, a Tesla Cybertruck explosion and fire occurred at the entrance of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. This could also be a "terrorist act." I believe this incident could be a message to the new U.S. President Donald Trump and "shadow president" Elon Musk. These "terrorist incidents" might have been orchestrated by the Democratic deep state in the U.S. to send a message to Trump and Musk. Supporting this theory, Musk stated, “We’ve confirmed that the explosion was caused by massive fireworks and/or a bomb transported in the rented Cybertruck’s bed, and it was not related to the vehicle itself.”
Connection Between the Incidents and Rental Platform
These two significant "terrorist incidents" in the U.S. might be connected. My research highlights an intriguing detail: both vehicles involved in the incidents were rented through the same car rental platform, Turo.
The U.S. Debt Crisis and Its Implications
Another critical issue I want to highlight is the U.S. debt crisis. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has stated that unless "extraordinary measures" are taken, the U.S. government will default on its debt. Over the last three months, the U.S. government has borrowed nearly $1 trillion, and the debt continues to rise rapidly, now reaching $36.3 trillion. As a result, the U.S. government could face a financial disaster in January. These incidents and events might have been orchestrated by President Donald Trump and his allies to ensure the crisis explodes during Biden’s administration. Trump seems poised to inherit a collapsing government.
Financial Markets and Potential Impact
U.S. stock markets were closed yesterday for New Year’s. They are set to open today at 5:30 PM Turkey time. The market’s opening could set the direction for global markets. These "terrorist incidents" may have a negative impact on financial markets.
