John Sullivan aka “Activist John” aka Jayden X is the guy whose videos of the insurrection have gone viral, and who has faced some tough questions about his actual motivations.

I can’t believe CNN had him on TV.
This was in response to Maggie Haberman giving us this screenshot, of Giuliani texting with John Sullivan’s brother James.

This is very interesting, since James is basically a Proud Boy, and protestors on the left have called out the brothers for coordination playing both sides.
For some highly interesting background about John Sullivan aka Jayden X, read this thread describing some of the actions he and his brother have taken, from the perspective of leftist protestors.
Was Rudy promising in his text to see what he could do about this guy, whose bond was just revoked yesterday, and who has gang-related charges on his rap sheet?
h/t @MingGao26

This is pure speculation atm obviously - but notable and worth watching.
Charges filed.

I feel like the feds might frown upon Rudy’s trying to do this guy a favor. 🤷‍♂️

This is a great article that touches on Stone’s role in stop the steal, but the most important sentence is this:

“The radicalization of the Republican Party has altered the world of conservative media, which is, in turn, accelerating that radicalization.”
newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
We aren’t talking enough about the political insurgency into the Republican Party, and who is funding it.

From the article:

As Fuentes said on the “InfoWars” panel, “This is the best thing that can happen, because it’s destroying the legitimacy of the system.”
Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are not anomalies.

They are the latest in a line of GOP candidates that have been recruited, groomed for the position, and financed to become elected.

The trajectory of the party is clear.

Who is funding and launching these candidates? ImageImage

🚨While we were focused on the insurrection, SCOTUS quietly took a case that it had been holding for some time: AFPF v. Becerra.

AFPF is a Charles Koch opaque front LLC.

The GOP was happy to pass the bill to ban anonymous shell co’s.

Is this a back door?
h/t @JannusWilhelmus
If this seems far-fetched, consider the way the Supreme Court has ruled in *all* of its 80 cases where there was a 5-4 split decision.

It ruled in the interests of Republican donors - like Charles Koch - every time.

And the Kochs spent millions to promote Kavanaugh and Barrett.
And if you are not familiar with the “dark money” concept, or think that it isn’t as bad as it has been made out to be, please do yourself a favor and watch Sheldon Whitehouse’s presentation during the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings.

“Flynn cannot say for sure that Kushner had a Wikileaks contact.”
Erik Prince knew his way around Trump Tower; he always seemed to have a purpose when he met with Bannon, and Bannon always seemed to be expecting him.

Bannon covered his office windows with a blanket.
Giuliani knew that Wikileaks would release the emails - not Russia.

Flynn (“not overly sophisticated”) saw Giuliani like a judge. lol

The failed Assange extradition got me thinking.

If I wanted to make it hard for certain treaty partners to extradite criminals to the US for trial, one way to do that would be to reinstate the federal death penalty and start executing a lot of prisoners.
For anyone unfamiliar, Barr’s DOJ reinstated federal executions in July, 2019.

Since then, the speed at which they have been pushing these cases through, and the corners they have cut in order to execute these prisoners quickly, has been ugly and hard to explain.
Assange was arrested in the UK in April, 2019. Barr reinstated the death penalty three months later, in July.

The extradition ruling stated that we have 15 days to appeal the decision.

Now it appears that Mexico is offering asylum to Assange.

A lot of folks seem to want to ascribe a strategy to Trump’s actions, but that isn’t necessary. If there is any conscious strategy behind his moves, it is almost certainly not his.

Trump feels trapped and attacked now, and his actions are largely instinctual; fight or flight.
/1
Throughout Trump’s presidency, the GOP has nurtured and manipulated his narcissistic tendencies. And through the election, they nurtured his feeling that he was “robbed.”

Now, Barr, the GOP, and his own staff have abandoned him; they plan to certify electors; to move on.

/2
Narcissists idealize people who they see as useful, or who they see as valuable to be associated with.

Until, eventually, they are no longer seen as being useful or valuable.

At that point, they are treated like refuse, and discarded.

Trump does this to everyone.

@JanNWolfe Know what the craziest part of this revelation about a "shadow group" calling for the assassination of public officials is?

It's that there are *multiple* groups associated with the GOP and/or the Kremlin who could be capable of this.

Trump's legal team:
@JanNWolfe "Constitutional" Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association

@JanNWolfe Weird "former" Soviet people who happen to be instigating division and violence in the United States
