This concept spread in manga/anime as the catalyst for change which destroys the previous life of the MC, moving them to a different world where they become a hero.
It is actually an artist's representation of a space weapon which has this effect, and it looks like a truck. It's a large satellite weapon, or maybe more of a space station weapon, because it must to loaded and set up for firing manually. It can fire once daily and tuning takes 4 days of calculations. It will hit the egregore of a person, destroying it, which leads to the person's death through "natural causes" or seemingly unrelated accidents or violence.
It exists in language as "being hit by a truck" or "throwing them under the bus", and more recently as the djinn mocking of the weapon when they had islamists introduce the truck of peace.
The NWO has used this weapon numerous time against any "threats to the system". It is total overkill to use an industrial scale weapon against a single person, but they don't care.
In the late 80s they made their biggest mistake. They aimed for an immortal. The egregore of the person was destroyed, but immortals are synced with their environment so they in reality destroyed the economic system of the country. The ripple effect of this caused harm to all of Europe and it couldn't be contained. It also created an immense amount of negative karmic energy because they aimed for a force of nature.
In their stupidity, they tried again, 3 times, every time the karmic effect was exponentially increased. It appeared as organic "NGOs" appearing, which were completely opposed to the western military industrial complex, later it evolved into various uncontrollable social movements, like neo-nazism, autonomous left/antifa, islamic terrorism, toxic online culture, rabid feminism, transsexualism, the karmic force would attach to, and strengthen any social element which could serve to the destroy the attacker.
Because of their foolish attitude of blocking, deflecting and attempting to contain the karma, it would constantly grow, scale up and become stronger for every attempt to stop it. Their best chance would have been to instantly shut down "the truck of death" satellite system and all affiliated organizations, along with the military doctrine which gave rise to it. Maybe they could have survived if they did that.
They choose instead opposition to the retribution, making it worse every step of the way, leading up to events they themselves having planned, being turned against them, activated by mistake or simply failing.
