This Is CNN

CNN-NPR Photo-Journalist Jade Sacker was Embedded with Antifa Leader John Sullivan During Siege of US Capitol;

Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan.6 as he damaged federal property. […]
 
After the Capitol was stormed John Sullivan appeared with CNN photojournalist Jade Sacker on CNN that night. CNN did not identify Sullivan as an Antifa-BLM protest leader. They mention Insurgence, USA but not that it is a radical leftist organization. They do not mention that Sullivan was arrested in Utah during unrest in 2020. CNN did not reveal that the two were working together inside the US Capitol. Jade Sacker has done work for NPR, CNN, NBC and other liberal outlets.
 
Yet, in footage streamed to his followers on Discord, Sullivan, who uses the name “Jayden X” on the app, can be heard inciting violence from inside the U.S. Capitol and boasting about breaking a window.

Update: Sullivan has been detained on federal charges.

  1. Be sure to also check out the video of Sullivan in this TGP report. The Capitol break-in was clearly organized and executed by Antifa. Not Trumpers.

    No question in my mind Antifa were the “pointed end of the stick” at Capitol. Check out this previously posted on TGP. Be sure to watch the video of this John Sullivan creature.

    It’s very clear from what he is saying that when he says, “Can’t believe “we” did it!” he’s not talking about MAGA folks. He’s talking about Antifa.

    Look carefully at all the people in these lead elements, how they are dressed, style of their facial hair, masks, helmets, and what they are saying to each other and to police. It’s all right out of Portland.

    PLUS, there is no history whatsoever of MAGA folks doing property damage (they’re too busy cleaning up after themselves) , but LOTS of Antifa history. It’s who they are and what they do.

    To me, just based on this alone, Trump should be invoking Insurrection Act and putting the whole process indefinitely on hold.

    1. “No question in my mind Antifa were the “pointed end of the stick” at Capitol. Check out this previously posted on TGP. Be sure to watch the video of this John Sullivan creature.”

      Read the Intercept article that Kate linked to — this John Sullivan fella is an anti-government opportunist, with neither left nor right political convictions. BLM/left-wing activists have been renouncing him since November, well before he showed up at the Capitol. It’s telling that after weeks of searching, he’s the best example that you can find of a non-Trump supporter actively participating in the riots.

      1. Your source betrays your bias. Intercept can write whatever “words” they want. Look at the footage and listen to what is being said. Pictures and audio are worth thousands of words. The people leading the break in were clearly not MAGA. The suggestion that, “Oh, he just happened to be there filming” is absurd.

        1. Agreed, Trump/Maga people don’t come in black, wearing helmets. However, it doesn’t fit the narrative, because the left must convince the low info types that Trump instigated this trumped up insurrection.

        1. You can tell when your “Over the Target” on SDA by how quickly and how much “Troll Flak” starts coming up.

    2. “The Capitol break-in was clearly organized and executed by Antifa.”

      That is a lie.

      ” there is no history whatsoever of MAGA folks doing property damage ”

      Another lie. The PB tards were tearing down BLM banners off of black churches but a few weeks ago.

  2. And a CNN “reporter” was in the midst, and delighted at how well it worked. Well, who woulda thunk?

  3. Well the cats among the pigeons now. How do the Democrats walk back from Wednesday…..Oh, wait they weren’t really serious about the impeachment they were just trying to throw another rug over the stinking mess that happened on November 3. It is past time for an absolute dismemberment of the American Justice system and a deep dive into what has actually transpired over the last four/five years. Wray, Barr, Durham, Mueller, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Pelosi, Biden (x2), Hillary, Obama, and only God knows how many others have been involved in something that the American people should know about. Anyone that thinks this is just politics has the brain power of a tic. The American Republic has been under attack by a domestic enemy and it sure as hell wasn’t Donald J. Trump.

  4. The gist of the enormous article at the link is that Sullivan was actually not Antifa at all, he was a Maga plant. Seriously folks, there isn’t going to be any clarity on this issue, at least not the kind readers here might like.
    While I do believe there were Antifa scum there, and even that they were responsible for the riot to some extent, I just don’t care. No one is going to find out the truth because the media will not report it.
    It is past time those on the right stopped the hand wringing and tsking and high roading. There isnt going to be a rational debate that will win the next election. There isn’t a heroic figure (another one!) that will bring forth justice and drain the swamp.
    I am tired of the endless defenestration of folks on the right by their so called compatriots in the chattering classes.

    1. It is sufficient to say that the guy was Antifa fascist and that he was agent provocateur.
      Did not support Trump in no way, no how.

      You gotta remember that the mass media cartel spreads lies as in somebody said somewhere some time. That it did or did not happen is of no consequence, the damage is done with the initial report and what ever revision is done afterwards, nobody will notice only those that are interested in the affairs of men. The rest will carry on with the lies simply because they are not interested in the rest of the story.

    2. Don’t trust the Intercept, they even got rid of their founder, Greenwald, a lefty but a real journalist.
      There is a wide range of evidence coming out that it wasn’t just Trump supporters rushing the Capitol, yet the writer still insists it was only Trump supporters less a couple of others. Staring him in the face and refuses to acknowledge. Trump has held countless rallies over the first term with 100’s of thousands and virtually no damage.
      Antifa/BLM 8 months, billions destroyed, dozens dead, businesses destroyed.
      Listened to No Agenda today and what the MSM are spewing are just outright lies. They refuse to air Trumps actual speech about marching to the Capitol peacefully. They imply he called them to go to the Capitol and force their way in to match what Antia/BLM had planned.
      Don’t know if anyone here listens to them (Adam Curry/John C. Dvorak) but they deconstruct the media and expose their BS twice a week.

    3. Yep. The right will happily disavow their most ardent supporters. They deserve whats coming, and so does the left. Both are on the same side: Against personal freedom. One side actively suppresses freedom, the other side actively suppresses those who fight for it.

  5. I’m thinking, that if all this goes down, as some are thinking and talking about on the GWP comments, and other comment sections of Marshall report etc, that Francis Scott Key’s famous song, just might be replaced by Scott Joplins famous song. Hope so.

    1. Which one for Scott Joplins, The Entertainer? I tried to figure out what you meant by a search, but the source line didn’t have enough clues.

      And please forgive me for not being able to read your mind. Just like there’s no “sarcasm” font, there’s no “this is what I really mean” font.

    1. **We have no indication of that, at this time,” FBI Assistant Director Steven D’Antuono said at a Friday press briefing.**

      “At this time…” was Jan 8th.
      I hope they correct that at a future press briefing except there won’t be one.

    2. The FBI Says There’s No Evidence Of Antifa Involvement In The Capitol Mob,,, maybe it was the “See Eye Eh” instead of antifa?

      1. They were also not MAGA supporters. That should be obvious to anyone looking at the pics — too young, too agile, too off-the-wall in dress. I am pretty sure Antifa was an organizer (busses were seen bussing people in) but participants may have been just a motley crew of nutters. I am wondering if the woman who was killed may have been an undercover agent.

    3. “Geez, do you think you that you might just TRY to pretend to be cops and pretend to do some investigating?”

      The FBI did some investigating — Mr. Sullivan has been detained.

      The Intercept also did some investigating — turns out this John Sullivan fella is an anti-government opportunist, with neither left nor right political convictions. BLM/left-wing activists have been renouncing him since November, well before he showed up at the Capitol.

      It’s telling that after weeks of searching, he’s the best example that you can find of a non-Trump supporter actively participating in the riots.

      1. Of course the mass media cartel propaganda from the ministry of truth, of which the above character is no doubt a member, will find that the guy is positively aid to Trump.
        There is no ‘journalist’ that would oppose that.
        That FBI have not found anything, well they found a lot on Russians on controlling Trump. Didn’t they?
        Yeah FBI is the protector of swamp, snakes in the grass and other such scum.

      2. How about you come up with an example of an actual Trump supporter involved in the breach. Participants in Trumps rally did not get there until somewhat after the attack was underway. Maybe they were just a bunch of Democrat zealots trying to discredit Trump supporters — a well known Communist tactic.

  6. The linked “intercept” article defends John Sullivan,,, it’s just not the same since Greenwald left.

    Greenwald has atleast been objective since the election.

  7. One is reminded of the 1990s in Canada when the federal government created the Heritage Front through the activities of a civil servant posing as a white supremacist, and lured in a couple of dozen sympathizers who were then portrayed as dangerous neo-Nazis — what actual danger they posed was limited to the organizational skills of this federal civil servant. Predictably, he ran out of gas during the exercise, since skill at that particular task would not have been very welcome.

    Soros is well known for his skills at regime change. This is no myth as the brain-dead media like to claim (without any evidence or justification). Soros is persona non grata in several east European countries for this very reason. He should also be that way in the U.S.A. and Canada where he has been relatively successful at his efforts to create regime change. Basically, he buys media time and attention for favourable reporting, and funds the activities of both overt and covert political demonstrators — some mean what they say, others mean the opposite, to discredit the opposition.

    I mention Soros but there are others who collaborate and there may be all sorts of these false flag actors and facilitators whose identities we do not know, and may never know.

    Yes, Russia plays a role too, so do a number of powerful countries who to some varying extents don’t like America. But one needs to ask, why would Putin prefer Trump to Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden? If he prefers a weak America, the easiest road to that is through a socialist government. If he hates globalism, then he would not want to tarnish Trump’s reputation and would stay out or just issue bland statements of approval. There is no motive for Putin to assist Donald Trump in nefarious ways, it could only become a negative, and besides, if Russian intel is halfway decent, they would know that Donald Trump already had millions of committed internet savvy followers, he wouldn’t need the help of some halfwits in Leningrad, sorry they don’t call it that nowadays, Putingrad shall we say.

    1. Several changes of focus. Overall good, but definitely not pithy.

      Overall I agree with your summary, but not suitable for a limited focus audience.

      1. That would only be true if you think that the only important thing about someone is their race.

        You vile racist, UnMe.

  8. Read your own links — left-wing activists have been renouncing this John Sullivan fella since November. He’s an anti-government opportunist, with neither left nor right political convictions. It’s telling that after weeks of searching, he’s the best example that you can find of a non-Trump supporter actively participating in the riots.

    From the Intercept article:

    “Unable to find actual evidence that the pro-Trump hooligans who broke into the Capitol and assaulted the police were left-wing provocateurs, the right-wing myth-makers have seized instead on the incidental presence on the riot’s front lines of a single anti-Trump activist, a Black man from Utah who recorded his “adventure” on video.

    “…Watching Sullivan’s footage makes it obvious that he was not leading but following the rioters as they made their way through police lines into the Capitol, eventually reaching the barricaded door of the Speaker’s Lobby, steps from the House chamber, where Babbitt was shot.

    “…In fact, Sullivan is a curious figure who is treated with suspicion or outright hostility by a number of left-wing organizers associated with Black Lives Matter and antifascism in Utah, California and the Pacific Northwest. Months before Sullivan embedded himself in the right-wing mob that broke into Congress, a racial justice activist in Portland warned members of the movement “to not associate with Activist John,” calling him, “deceptive, dangerous and daft.”

    “…Activists in Salt Lake City, Seattle and Los Angeles have made similar warnings, and a member of the Seattle protest community shared a detailed briefing document on him headlined, “John Sullivan: Naive Organizer or Agent Provocateur?” that has been circulating since November…Others on the left are convinced that John Sullivan has no real political convictions, and is simply exploiting movements for racial justice and against fascism for personal gain. “Activist John,” they speculate, is a character Sullivan has invented, and the protests he organizes are a kind of performative, karaoke activism. The founder of Black Lives Matter Utah, Lex Scott, responded to a Fox News report calling Sullivan “a BLM activist” with a TikTok statement in which she said he “never has been and never will be” a member of the group and called him “a thorn in our side.””

    1. Except you (and they) omit the fact that he had other obvious Antifa people with him, e.g. the two that broke the window.

      Too bad you’re a fucking idiot troll scumbag piece of Commie pond life. FOAD upside down in an outhouse hole, filth.

    2. “the pro-Trump hooligans who broke into the Capitol” – – name one. Funny that after 8 days, you don’t have even one confirmation of a Trump supporter being involvedl

    3. Of course I don’t know this, though I think the guy is a misinformation agent from the media cartel.
      Sure as hell looks like it, he refers to all the bullshit that’s fit to print and of course he does not believe none of it though it is good for propaganda purposes.

  9. There is subterfuge everywhere. The Democrats and Liberals do it 24-7-365. Everyone else is only at about 350.
    Get your people to sign-up like K-bec dairy farmers.
    The conservative party must have some pretty high level liberals in it to act like they do.
    Either that or they’re just losers.
    Like Peter OD wrote: Security agents and cops do this shit all the time as well.

  10. Does this sound like a MAGA guy?
    Sullivan called for the killing and “ripping that Mother F_cker Trump out of the White House.”
    Sorry, I cannot disagree more. The video footage that is presented here is not in correct order. Sullivan aka Jayden X was live streaming his impersonation of a MAGA member.
    HE IS BLM/Antifa. His own family said so. He uses over 12 alias that are affiliated with extreme left wing Antifa and BLM groups. He uses Instagram and numerous private group chat rooms. The Intercept is complete bullshit to confuse the narrative and justify the FBI not pursuing more of his buds. There is a lot more video that I have seen.
    * The footage where he and the CNN camera woman hug and congratulate each other with “we did it” was when they ENTERED the Capitol 15-25 minutes prior to Trump completing his speech. AT THIS TIME, EVERYONE INSIDE THE CAPITOL WERE MAGA IMPERSONATORS.
    ** There is video of approx 20 Antifa with John and CNN camerawoman changing their outfits and preparing for the next stage. Backpacks were full of different shirts and hats.
    *** Later, they go back outside to agitate and get more MAGA people to enter the Capitol.
    There is so much more to come. Hold your local media accountable from whitewashing this. Antifa agitators were first in and everywhere. Their tactics are proven Communist insurgent methods. They are well trained. This was many of their elite.

  11. Isn’t it a crime not to report criminal acts you observe? The CNN/NPR person should be charged.

    1. Yeah Don B, I’m still waiting for that witch Hilary to be charged. the CNN/NPR person you refer to, is way down on the list of all those that should be charged. Again, I’ll repeat, proving that Trump/Maga folk were NOT the cause of the Capitol breach, does NOT fit the media narrative, cuz they wouldn’t want the low info types to start actually thinking this might be a bunch of carefully arranged lies, designed to damage Trump further!
