They try to rig financial things in whatever way will make TFM look the most bad as a form of psychological and economic warfare against his podcast
There is no way for him to win because they will read & listen to his financial advice & literally change the price based on whatever decision he suggests to people to make him look bad
"Polar vortex set to send arctic blast deep into US later this week"
weather forecast is chaotic and dangerous
So the feds listen to whatever investment advice he gives then they rig the media to influence the normies to make decisions which influence the ( commodity or other ) investment prices to make him look bad if people follow his investment advice
@shortstories They want to keep low the price of the commodities so they inflation is lower . I don't think they are actively try to sabotage him more than what they have done .
