      John Sullivan was at the forefront of pro-Trump violence in the Capitol, egging it on as he filmed. Now he's Exhibit A in right-wing claims that Antifa instigated the riot. I investigate his disturbing history of sabotaging BLM while posing as a leader.https://thegrayzone.com/2021/01/12/chaos-agent-right-wing-us-capitol-riot-black-lives-matter/ …

      I studied video shot by Sullivan (Jayden X) in the Capitol and compiled some moments of him zealously celebrating the invasion & instigating the mob all the way up to Ashli Babbit's shooting. Watch with audio on. No committed BLM activist would say or do this – and he isn't onepic.twitter.com/uE5VmUf6mU

      As DC BLM journalist @blackhousenew explained to me, Sullivan has been banished by activist communities across the country. He's considered a dangerous provocateur & is the subject of deep suspicion. This thread details some of his history.https://twitter.com/RebellionBaby/status/1331902025429258241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1331902025429258241%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthegrayzone.com%2F2021%2F01%2F12%2Fchaos-agent-right-wing-us-capitol-riot-black-lives-matter%2F …

      To get a better idea of John's behaviors and impacts on protest communities: This document from a PDX comrade lays it out. It’s an important, detailed read — and ends with the recommendation of a "complete and total, national lock out." (Links at end of this thread.) (6/23) pic.twitter.com/N1IsS1mErJ

      The night of the Capitol riot, Sullivan was welcomed on @andersoncooper to present himself as the heroic journalist who recorded Babbit's shooting. Cooper falsely called him a "left-wing activist" and didn't ask why he was actually in the Capitol. This was fodder for the Right.pic.twitter.com/LPezi5Hv09

      Seated w/Sullivan on CNN is Jade Sacker, a photojournalist who followed him into the Capitol to film his exploits as part of a documentary project. Here she's heard congratulating him - "We did it!" - and he says, "Is this not gonna be the best film you've ever made in yr life?"pic.twitter.com/KWLVfgKPA7

      I learned that Sacker's project has major backers: It's being "advised" by Bryan Fogel, Academy Award winning maker of Icarus and The Dissident. Here's Fogel with Dissident producer Thor Halvorssen, a neocon operative whose Oslo Freedom Forum trains US-backed oppo activists.pic.twitter.com/b1RIxIGiio

      There are so many bizarre layers to this story. Sacker's doc also focuses on Sullivan's brother, James, a Utah-based pro-Trump activist who helped recruit fellow Black Republicans for the DC mayhem. The brothers are at odds in public, but on the same side on January 6.pic.twitter.com/cnbpOQ3A7T

      In June 2020, John Sullivan emerged practically out of nowhere and began organizing BLM-esque rallies in Utah. The first one spiraled into chaos, led to this shooting where he was present, prompted mass arrests, and triggered the formation of the Utah Citizen's Alarm militia.pic.twitter.com/44XVziF9rb

      Following this and many other incidents, James Sullivan told me Utah's BLM chapter reached out to him to help banish John from the scene. John left for Portland, where he was banished for unusual acts that caused mass arrests, then locked out of DC for his destructive presence.

      The night after the Capitol riot, John Sullivan was spotted fraternizing with Utah Proud Boy leader Thad Cisneros outside DC's Hamilton. A source sent me this photo. In fact, John platformed Proud Boy Thad at a July 2, 2020 rally in Provo, Utah.pic.twitter.com/7olWNZu8td

          Moments later, John Sullivan was detained by DC Metro PD and questioned by the FBI. After an hour or so, despite the copious documentation of his role in the Capitol riot, he was let go. (Jade Sacker filmed throughout)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3_0f5LeIxU&feature=emb_title …

          Now, Sullivan is back in Salt Lake City and is seeking to organize an "armed march" at the Utah State Capitol to "end government control" this month. Note that he is not calling for a march for Black liberation, or Black lives, or anything to do with BLM. This is from his site:pic.twitter.com/zDKPhWLm9S

          Many BLM activists call John Sullivan an "agent provocateur." Some suspect he is a law enforcement asset, which he denies. Others say he's simply a nihilist who is dedicated to chaos above all else. What's clear is he is not BLM or Antifa, and is out to wreck their cause.

          Turns out John Sullivan initially uploaded footage apparently showing an exchange of a kiss between himself and filmmaker Jade Sacker before taking it down and reuploading with this part edited outpic.twitter.com/UN275p9xSQ

          James Sullivan, John’s right-wing brother, just went on Infowars with Alex Jones to claim Jade Sacker was faking her friendship w/ John to get access. Which would mean she was taking advantage of an obviously troubled young man and incentivizing him to “perform” at the Capitol.pic.twitter.com/JpbARdQqj7
