CNN, NBC Paid Antifa Activist for Footage From Capitol Breach


Three news agencies paid an activist who identifies as Antifa and was charged for allegedly committing crimes during the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol for footage he captured during the mayhem.

CNN, NBC, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) paid John Earle Sullivan thousands of dollars to use video clips he shot inside the building, according to a new court filing.

CNN paid $35,000, NBC paid $35,000, and ABC paid $2,375, according to invoices that were filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Sullivan, 26, was arrested and charged last month for allegedly committing multiple crimes on Jan. 6, including violent entry, civil disorder, and disorderly conduct.

CNN and NBC didn’t return requests for comment.

Video footage, some of which was filmed by Sullivan, showed the Utah man illegally entering the Capitol building and urging others to go inside and burn the structure down.

CNN also hosted Sullivan for an on-air interview later on Jan. 6, along with Jade Sacker, a freelancer who has had work published by various outlets.

Sullivan has told The Epoch Times that he’s apolitical but has told other news outlets that he is Antifa, or anti-fascist. Antifa is a far-left, anarcho-communist network that has engaged in violence across the country in recent years. Sullivan has also been linked to the Black Lives Matter movement, though he’s been disavowed by the leader of Black Lives Matter Utah.

Sullivan was released conditionally shortly after being charged and remains free, despite violating conditions of his release. A federal judge on Tuesday declined to block him from using Twitter and Facebook but said he must stop working for Insurgence USA, an organization he founded to help advocate for the empowerment and uplifting of “black and indigenous voices.”

Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather, an Obama appointee, also decreed Sullivan’s 24-hour monitoring be stopped, reported Politico, but said his Internet use will be checked by probation officers. Sullivan cannot use social media platforms to incite riots or violent protests. He is being forced to remain home as the case moves forward.

Sullivan’s attorney had argued in a memorandum that the government’s attempts would “limit defendant’s ability to communicate the way the vast majority of Americans communicate is oppressive, overbroad, and unconstitional [sic].”

“The entirely overboard request by the government would effectively ban hm [sic] from communicating with friends, interacting, with his family, writing his thoughts, keeping up with the news, checking on the weather, reading a newspaper outline or any of the typical reasons why the vast majority of the [population] uses these social media platforms,” the attorney wrote.

Sullivan was already banned from using Twitter and Facebook, along with 11 other websites, by a judge in Utah in a separate case. Sullivan was arrested last year for allegedly rioting and other crimes in the state. His primary Twitter account has been suspended; a search of Facebook didn’t turn up a profile. He has claimed to be a journalist as a defense for what he did in Washington, but authorities say that was a front.

“Under the guise of journalism … he is engaged in and incited violent activity, including the kind of destructive society we saw on Jan. 6,” prosecutor Candice Wong told the court.

Obviously a white supremacist.

Shocker

Zachary Jordan Alam is who I want to know more about. Wonder if he is on the Redstone pay roll too.

He is a known Antifa agitator, so if CNN or NBC had an agreement or communication with him before Jan 6th that is a huge BOOM!

It proves that not only did they know prior to the event that Antifa antagonists were going to cause violence, but they also had a hand in organizing and funding it. Furthermore, they covered up their involvement and lied about Trump causing an insurrection. They are possibly liable in a wrongful death of the young woman who was shot.  

This may have legs.

There was a story about him being a catch and release, can't find it.

He's still in trouble

I take it you don't know who is running the Just-us department?

Allow me to compile a short list of things that will happen before that:

1) Kate Beckinsale, and Anna Kendrick will be waiting naked in my bed with my wife when I get home for a 4-way
2) My children will eat their dinner in a timely fashion
3) A bull and a mexican woman will produce the world's first Minotaur in an epic cross breed porno
4) God upon seeing this success will force an eagle and a lion to fuck thus giving us Griffons
5) Congress will actually pass voter integrity laws
6) Illegal aliens will decide its time to fix their home shitholes
7) muslims world wide will love and accept Jews.
8) Kumswalla whorass will choke to death on the next dick she has to suck to ascend any further politically.

I'm 99.99999999999999999% sure #8 is impossible because there is no way she finds a dick big enough to choke on in DC.  Even micheal obama's dick is no challenge for her.

I get that 100%.  The impact however may be that millions more swallow that red pill and realize what lying scum the MSM are.  

It's happening with the Cuomo story and this may be another big chip off the MSM's credibility with those who assume ABC, NBC, and CNN aren't outright lying to them.

You think the media is going to cover the story about how the media funded and encouraged the "insurrection", and then covered it up?

He will have a statue in the DC mall soon

Some outlets will: OAN possibly Fox and then the Social Media shares.  At some point, like the Lincoln Project pedophiles and the Cuomo story, it spreads.  
The MSM will do everything they can to suppress it.

I wonder what would happen if you post this on facebook?

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Expresses Concern About COVID-19 Vaccines in Leaked Footage

Zuckerberg said in July 2020: "I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this [vaccine] because we just don't know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people's DNA and RNA  basically the ability to produce those antibodies and whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream. So, there's work on both paths of vaccine development."

The footage was published by Project Veritas, a journalism watchdog. It was allegedly from Facebook's internal weekly question-and-answer session.




Zuckerberg's Facebook has imposed harsh guidelines on what people can post about COVID-19, and banned or restricted a number of users for violating the policies.

So media companies quite possibly funded domestic terrorism for their own enrichment?  


I guess the FBI will be right on that.

That's the dirtbag who taped Ashli Babbit's death.  He's a known antifa/blm activist from Utah who started a riot in Provo, UT last year.  One motorist was shot during the fracas.  Agent provocateur.

Pay per view?

Asking for a friend.

Cheaper than hiring actors and staging it, I guess????

.gov actually killed a woman on camera
Nothing was done

This story makes no difference

.gov has all the power

Wonder if he broke the window and encouraged her to go through it, knowing what would happen?

Sounds like they were part of the planning and should be charged.

I thought Antifa was trying to disassociate  themselves  from this guy, kind of a preemptive move to provide cover for future actions like this.  Makes sense now, "whoa, he's not our guy".  Makes you wonder if we can ever win the fight, can our side ever stoop as low as we need to win?  They criticize O'Keefe for what he does, we need to get down and dirty.

The entire episode is on security cameras plus many private phones.  The "officer" who shot her was not regular Capital Police.  Apparently some sort of hired gun?

I'm willing to bet this is a lot more common than anyone thinks it is. This guy just got caught so bad they could not cover it up.

There's a reason Biden said Antifa is an "idea not an organization".  It's about deniability.

My guess is Sullivan has a history of communications with not only ABC / CNN but also some 3 letter operatives.

ETA.  I'd be very worried of being suicided or perishing in a single car accident if I were him.  The DS hates lose ends.

Attached File

I thought it was illegal to profit from criminal acts.  Pretty sure they passed a law as such in order to prevent serial killers from making money on biographies and interviews.

Saw him in a few videos, very suspicious  behavior, clothing change etc.  Who is this guy?

So the gist of it is MSM incentivized people to cause havoc and then blamed Trump.

In a just world they would be held criminally responsible, lets see how it plays out.

While I would agree that it would seem like they had a prior arrangement to have him get footage for them, nothing in that article says that they had a previous relationship or agreement prior to the 6th.

Wish it were true, but I can't find it.

I read reference to him being part of Pence's protective detail.

Who knows.

His family story is interesting.
Dad is a high ranking military officer and his brother is a Proud Boy.

Part of me sort of thinks both brother's are somebody's assets.

This is the only domestic terrorist at the moment.  Anyone talking about anyone else is in it for politics.

Interesting thing about the Sully, he was telling Jade Sacker to watch his livestream comments to know when things are ready for prime time for her camera.

Seems like there were people he was coordinating with agitating at the capitol, and he knew where to go to get some premo footage for the CBS journo he was with.

Basically Sully was the shot caller, and he was the liability shield for the CBS and CNN asset Sacker.

No, that was Zachary Jordan Alam, who was performing for Sully's Camera.

When Alam started breaking windows, Sully yelled that he had a knife to get through a bunch of other journos to within 3 feet of Alam, so he could film Alam breaking stuff.

If you watch the video of the Babbit shooting there were only 3-4 agitators that were all performing for Sully. They ignored him as if he didn't exist.

Almost everyone else there was a journalist besides those 3-4 guys and Babbit.

What did CNN know, and when did they know it?

We don't allow convicted criminals to sell their stories hopefully once convicted he'll have to return the money or forfeit it to his victims.

Andy Ngo has written about all the journalists who have antifa buddies that they rely on for their propaganda. The Trumper in Denver shot in the face by an unregistered antifa bodyguard was hired by a local CBS news asshole who is close to antifa as well.

I guarantee if you looked at the phones of producers at ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN etc you would find a ton of antifa, DSA, and BLM personal numbers.

Saw the picture of Jake Angel completely surrounded by journalists , taking pictures/video, are they being charged?
