What If They're Doing This on Purpose? | Chris Martenson

Chris Martenson from Peak Prosperity breaks down why oil markets are rigged and why the Strait of Hormuz crisis could send prices past $200. He dives into futures manipulation, the draining SPR, and why CPI is about to spike. We cover the AI energy crunch, China’s manufacturing edge, dollar devaluation, and why Bitcoin and hard assets matter more than ever for protecting wealth against systemic fraud.
