The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article today about John Earle Sullivan, a political activist who reportedly attended Black Lives Matter protests last year. Mr. Sullivan was part of the crowd that entered the Capitol Building on January 6th. The Department of Justice (DOJ) seized $90,000 from Mr. Sullivan for selling footage of Ashli Babbitt being shot during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. He has also been charged with new weapons charges.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

According to the court documents, Sullivan portrayed himself as an independent journalist who was reporting on the chaos, but he actually encouraged other participants to \u201cburn\u201d the building and engage in violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sullivan is accused<\/a> of having a conversation with others who breached the building and allegedly told them:\u00a0\u201cWe gotta get this [expletive] burned,\u201d according to court documents in his case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many people. Let\u2019s go. This [expletive] is ours! [Expletive] yeah,\u201d he allegedly cheered after he and protesters entered the Capitol, the DOJ documents said. \u201cWe accomplished this [expletive]. We did this together. [Expletive] yeah! We are all a part of this history,\u201d and \u201clet\u2019s burn this [expletive] down.\u201d The documents accused him of calling on others to burn the Capitol down multiple times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At one point, he\u2019s also heard saying,\u00a0\u201cI am ready bro. I\u2019ve been to too many riots. I\u2019ve been in so many riots,\u201d the documents said.\u00a0\u201cIt would be fire if someone had revolutionary music and [expletive],\u201d prosecutors said Sullivan told others on Jan. 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…After leaving the Capitol later on Jan. 6, Sullivan was seen, according to prosecutors, telling another individual that he \u201cbrought my megaphone to instigate [expletives]\u201d and wanted to \u201cmake these Trump supporters [expletive] all this [expletive] up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sullivan recorded a video of the confrontation between rioters and police near the House chamber that included the shooting of Air Force veteran Babbitt and, according to court filings, bragged to a witness that \u201cmy footage is worth like a million of dollars, millions of dollars.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sullivan sold that footage to several news outlets for a total of $90,000, according to a seizure warrant. The news outlets were redacted from the warrant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter leaders in Utah earlier this year disavowed Sullivan, calling him a \u201cloose cannon.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

And on Jan. 2, just days before the breach, Sullivan\u2019s account\u00a0wrote<\/a>: \u201c[Expletive] The System \u2013 Time To Burn It All Down. #blm #antifa #burn #[expletive]thesystem #abolishcapitalism #abolishthepolice #acab #[expletive]trump.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sullivan\u2019s lawyer had no comment on the case when he was contacted on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The man\u2019s lawyer, Steven Kiersh, wrote in court documents that the government should not sieze his money, arguing, \u201cThe proceeds of the seized bank account are not the product of criminal activity alleged in the indictment\u201d and that his client was being deprived of the money \u201cin violation of the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Sullivan simply does not appear to be a Trump supporter. The information about him adds to my suspicion that the assault on the Capitol was a ‘false flag’ operation. It may not have actually been a ‘false flag’ operation, but that is the way Democrats in Congress are using it.<\/p>\n
