Check this part out!!!!

“...THERE ARE ANSWERS TO THE “WHY” QUESTION and I’d love to hear one that doesn’t implicate criminal activity. National Review is, to be blunt, playing cover for people; their “explanation” makes no sense. So why publish it at all until and unless they can get the answer to the actual question: Why?

This I can tell you — I was logged into multiple trading platforms as I have accounts in a few places, all with “real” brokerages. While I did not buy any GME, AMC or the others today, I could have; none of the ones I was on were blocking orders in those names. All had margin at 100% for longs and 200 or even 300% for shorts (!!) and during the day one of them even went ETB (borrowable, in other words) to short GME — had I wanted to.

So why did certain platforms do what they did?

I’ll bet there’s a common thread and you won’t like it if and when it comes out into public view — and that’s being kind.

PS: There are rumors the White House was directly involved. If that proves up — and so far it’s a claim of an alleged whistleblower — whoever you voted for you damn well better demand and enforce an immediate impeachment, removal and barring from office for life for both Biden and Harris. No ifs, ands or buts. “
