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 …
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
Is he a Fed? I bet he’s a Fed
Thanks for the clarification. I even share his posts as a BLM activist :/
Good work, Max. A strange strange story.
