Who is John Sullivan

From Malcontentment Happy Hour, January 14, 2021

‘BLM activist’ John Sullivan has become a central figure of right-wing conspiracy that he is the mastermind of the insurrection

On Thursday, John Sullivan, aka Jayden Sullivan, aka Activist John aka Activist X, was arrested for his involvement in the insurrection in the Capitol.. John Sullivan is the brother of James Sullivan, a Proud Boy. A dive into John’s background paints a complex picture of someone who is not a criminal mastermind with the plan to organize thousands to overthrow the government. John appears to be a nihilistic narcissist who hungers for attention.

We looked at the research done by Rebellion Baby and Max Blumenthal. Is he a supporter of Black Lives Matter, a Proud Boy double-agent, a grifter, a cop, a purveyor of protest porn, or just a pawn in a tug-of-war for accountability?

UPDATE: John Sullivan was released from custody with no bail requirement on Friday. In another strange twist in the journey of John Sullivan, Rudy Giuliani tweeted out about a text conversation he has with James Sullivan about using John as blame for the insurrection and blaming Antifa. Although the phone number is blacked out, it has been authenticated by third parties.
