ANTIFA FACT-CHECK...One of the first rioters arrested on 1/6 was indeed a member of Antifa/BLM
Flopping Aces ^ | 02-13-21 | Amuse

Posted on 02/13/2021 10:22:31 AM PST by Starman417

ANTIFA FACT-CHECK THREAD: During the impeachment trial today the president's lawyers claimed that one of the first rioters arrested on 1/6 was a member of Antifa/BLM. Various fact-checkers ALL determined this claim was false. In this thread, we fact-check the fact-checkers.

The 'agent provocateur' that the president's lawyers were talking about is John Earle Sullivan aka JaydenX. Before his arrest at the Capitol on 1/6th Sullivan was active in the BLM movement throughout the summer of 2020.

Sullivan began engaging in anti-fascist/government commentary calling for burning down the current political system and replacing it with another system, so it benefits the people and grants them more freedoms.

Frustrated with Lex Scott's (the founder of BLM-Utah) leadership and inspired by Antifa riots in Portland, Sullivan founded 'Insurgence USA' to accelerate the collapse of the current political system through Antifa-style direction action.

After founding 'Insurgence USA' Sullivan traveled to Washington DC to lead protests on the Capitol. While on the stage he claimed he was going to burn down the White House and rip Trump out of office. Video

Sullivan began referring to himself as 'Activist John' and regularly filled his Twitter feed with pro-BLM/Antifa rhetoric and seething hatred of Trump. He would also document his participation in protests and riots on his now-suspended account.

Sullivan routinely tagged his posts with both #Antifa and #BLM. When asked by reporters if he was 'Antifa' he said that while he was anti-fascist he had his own similar direct action organization called 'Insurgence USA'.

Sullivan explained to reporters that, “Am I anti-fascist? We all are anti-fascist. And that’s what we should all strive for being. I have my own organization, Insurgence USA, and that’s what it is for. That’s really what it is.”

Sullivan adopted Antifa's 'black bloc' dress and began training BLM/Antifa insurgents and selling them gear as seen in this video.

On 1/13 self-described anti-fascist and Insurgence USA leader, John Sullivan was arrested for leading the insurrection at the Capitol on 1/6. Sullivan goaded the first casualty of the event to climb through a window just before she was killed.

The FBI alleged that Sullivan told a crowd, "we about to burn this shit down, we got to rip Trump out of office, fucking pull him out of that shit, we ain't waiting until the next election. we about to go get that mother fucker, it is time for a revolution."

Shortly afterward Sullivan could be heard goading Ashli Babbitt to jump through a window as he filmed her being shot and killed by law enforcement.

According to the FBI Sullivan was charged with rioting and criminal mischief during a BLM riot in July in which another civilian was shot and injured. The case is still pending.

Despite Sullivan's claims to the contrary the video footage he provided to the FBI showed that he was clearly inciting the protesters exclaiming, "Let's go! This shit is ours! Fuck yeah! We accomplished this shit! We did this together! Fuck yeah! Let's burn this shit down!

According to the FBI the video also shows Sullivan helping protesters climb the wall.

Once inside the Capitol, according to the FBI, Sullivan could be heard encouraging the protesters suggesting, "We gotta get this shit burned! It’s our house motherfuckers! We are getting this shit.”

Throughout the video Sullivan confronts officers calling for them to stand down.

This the the first i have heard that Sullivan goaded Ashli into going through the smashed window.

Doesn’t this make him at least an accessory to murder?

I have no doubt many of the instigators were anarcho-communist types.

John Sullivan with Jade Sacker

From the New York Post...

"A clip circulated on social media shows [John] Sullivan with filmmaker Jade Sacker cheering right after reaching the Capitol Rotunda.

“You were right, we did it!” Sacker tells Sullivan.

He did a whole back and forth thing, where he first got the police guarding the door to leave, then got the crowd to go through. He was working with other folks in that part of the crowd as well.

This is all derived from video. Here’s one set of snippets from a foreign journalist.

Lol! There’s no one more fascistic than these anarcho-communist morons. Have an opinion different than their idiotic twisted one and they’ll physically attack you and/or terrorize you at your home or place of business.

Here's the entire video from Jayden X's own YouTube channel. Remarkably, YouTube hasn't taken it down.

The organizer had been a huge fan of both Obama and John Kerry. Often boasted about being a provocateur. Various other things about him that I can't recall right now. But the event was very likely BS, meant only to incite a race war/revolution, by making it appear as if conservatives were allied with the lunatic neo-nazis and KKK. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party itself is very much allied with the communist groups and individuals behind the riots, fires, looting and attacks on police and government buildings, over the past year or so, and actually prior.

Stop trying to confuse the issue with facts and stuff. It doesn't matter what your lying eyes tell you. You should believe the lamestream media instead.

Sullivan was rejected by BLM groups in Utah and Washington DC over the summer for advocating violence at their events.

He was viewed with suspicion and distrust based on his behavior and the fact he has close ties with the Utah Proud Boys.

I doubt someone with this kind of reputation has any real connections with DC Antifa.

Speaking of "Black Lives Matters", mac_truck, surely you are aware that they are in the same camp as your boy Putin?

How do you deal with that when you pose yourself here as a patriotic American?

And OF COURSE anarcho-communist ANTIFA and the communist-front, so-called "Black Lives Matter", are going to try to distance themselves from this a-hole after he got caught.

In any case...

Re: Maduro allies

The Links Between Black Lives Matter and Nicolas Maduro Revealed

PanAm Post ^ | June 23, 2020 | PanAm Post Staff

[excerpt]
"...while Black Lives Matter claim to oppose police abuse and racism around the world, the organization is simultaneously a great supporter of some of the world’s most brutal and repressive dictators. In particular, the founders of BLM have been staunch supporters and allies of the sanguinary Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro and of the Castro regime in Cuba.

In December 2015 Black Lives Matter sent a delegation, headed by the organization’s co-founder, Opal Tometi, to act as observers during the Venezuelan Parliamentary elections of that year. The Maduro regime did not allow accreditation for observers from the Organization of American States, the UN, or the EU. The only accredited observers where from regimes and organizations friendly to the “revolutionary cause.”

Later that same month Tometi penned an article where she espouses, word for word, the regime’s standard text for international propaganda.

“In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world ,” wrote Tometi about one of the world’s most corrupt voting systems in history.

Earlier in 2015 Maduro was given an award at the Afro-descenndants Summit” held in Harlem. Maduro was invited at the behest of the Black Lives Matter leadership. ..."

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb 11 to 14.

It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. ..."
