The Markets Are Being Manipulated

The stock market is up and Crude oil is down despite flare ups in the ME.

Iran attacked an oil facility in the UAE setting it on fire.

The markets must protect Krasnov, he gave away the store to the fossil fuel industry, even used the War Powers Act to allow them to produce more oil and gas, even though I'm told the war is paused.

The markets are a joke, crude should be $200/barrel.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, previously warned the Clarity Act has to pass by May, because it is unlikely to pass after the November midterm elections, according to reports.

I believe it’s called the Defense Production Act, a separate set of laws that allows a president to skirt existing laws and regulations to ramp up various industries on short notice.
