Is the GameStop fiasco a psyop? (PART 2) On Citadel Hedge Fund, founder Ken Griffin
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2021 11:21 am
INTRODUCTION: I'm just teasing out some strings from this ball of yarn atm...I initially intended to put forward a number of interesting pieces of the puzzle in this post but following the Citadel thread led me to an interesting property in London which needs attention. A subsequent post will continue to look at the bigger picture.

Citadel LLC was Founded in 1990 by Kenneth Griffin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel_LLC
In January 2021, Griffin attracted criticism for the role played by Citadel in the GameStop short squeeze.[13] On January 25th, it was announced that Citadel would invest $2 billion dollars into Melvin Capital, which had suffered losses of more than 30% on account of its short positions, particularly on GameStop.[14][15][16] On January 28th, the trading platform Robinhood, favored by many traders involved in buying GameStop stock and options, abruptly announced that it would halt all purchases of GameStop securities and would only allow these securities to be sold ..
Griffin has pushed back on the characterization that he only supports Republicans, saying in an interview with David Rubenstein "I've supported over the years candidates on both sides of the aisle ... I was an early supporter of President Obama because he came to me to be the education secretary. You want my vote you want my support that's the issue, you come to me and you say I will fight for education in America".[33]
Griffin skipped a signing ceremony for the phase-one trade deal with China at the White House creating an awkward moment with President Donald Trump saying "Ken Griffin, Citadel. What a guy he is. Where are you, Ken? Where the hell is he? He’s trying to hide some of his money. Look, he doesn’t want to stand up. Where the hell is Ken? See, Steve, you’ll stand, and he’s very quiet about it. He’s in here someplace; he just doesn’t want to stand." A Citadel PR rep later said that Griffin was invited but confirmed he was unable to attend..
The Griffins have previously worked with the BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION in the promotion of charter schools in the US ..At the beginning of 2014, Griffin made a $150 million donation to the financial aid program at Harvard University, ..In 2017, Griffin contributed $15 million to the Robin Hood Foundation.

3 CARLTON GARDENS, LONDON – THE CROWN AND SECRET INTELLIGENCE CONNECTIONS :
One of the things Griffin is known for is his real estate purchases https://archive.ph/xMlnN .. 3 Carlton Gardens, a 200-year-old home that overlooks St. James’s Park about half a mile from the Queen’s residence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Carlton_Gardens
>The house was used by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to interview recruits after the Second World War
3 Carlton Gardens is at the west end of the Carlton House Terrace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_House_Terrace
> These terraces were built on Crown land between 1827 and 1832 to overall designs by John Nash, but with detailed input by other architects including Decimus Burton, who exclusively designed No. 3 and No.4. This building was once the original location for offices belonging to the Information Research Department (IRD), a secret branch of the UK Foreign Office dedicated to creating pro-colonial and anti-communist propaganda during the Cold War. … Number 1 is an official ministerial residence normally used by the Foreign Secretary.[24] Number 2 is used by the Privy Council Office
The Privy Council Office situated right next to No. 3 is very important and needs its own post. https://governmentbuildings.co.uk/prope ... iew/390961
Special advisor to Citadel CEO is Mark Stainton https://stopnakedshortselling.org/2020/ ... -stainton/ .. Prior to Deutsche Bank, he spent three years at JPMorgan Chase in London .. Mark began his career at McKinsey & Company and holds a bachelor’s degree from Oxford University.
I'll leave it there for now...
