John Sullivan / “#ActivistJohn” / "#JaydenX" Update
Our first thread about John was intended to help protect leftist protest communities from his harmful behavior. Since John’s little stunt at the Capitol during the DC #Insurrection, we have more to talk about.

1. General updates (since our 11/26 thread)
2. John’s harmful tactics/behaviors
3. What happened last week (DC, 1/6)
4. Next steps
If you haven’t read our 11/26 thread about John, we recommend doing so for full context.

\U0001f6a8#SeattleProtests Community Alert:
— Rebellion Baby (@RebellionBaby) November 26, 2020
We have reason to believe that a likely infiltrator/agent provocateur by the name of John Sullivan, or \u201cActivist John,\u201d is attempting to insert himself in the Seattle protest community.
(sorry babe, long thread)

Shortly after our 11/26 thread, Seattle protesters made it clear that John is not welcome at our actions or in our online spaces. He later changed his main account names from “Activist X” and “Activist John” to “Activist Jayden” and “Jayden X.”

1. Building mutuals as a form of credibility
2. Reckless group chats with poor opsec/infosec
3. Fixation on "spicy" actions, trauma porn
4. Grifting, mishandling of protester info
(9/43)
John is continuing to burn through new accounts, shed and develop aliases, and is still recklessly putting leftist protesters at risk. (When we say “John” is doing this, we’re more than confident that a small team is helping him.)

John has added people to signal/telegram chats — sometimes containing hundreds of people — with no vetting processes. Any serious protester will tell you that this behavior is suspicious and dangerous. Poor vetting allows fash, LE, and even …

This one’s tricky. For transparency, the Rebellion Baby team supports a broad diversity of protest tactics, including the smashy and spicy kind. We don’t peace-police, and we believe in people over property.

John’s “Insurgence USA" site is still thought to primarily be another desperate attempt for monetary gain and credibility. Most of his site content is ripped off from other online resources without credit attribution.

CW: gun violence
On 1/6, John was present and enthusiastically participating in the DC Insurrection. He streamed himself breaking into the Capitol with Trump supporters, as well as the shooting of Ashli Babbitt.

Activist John storming the Capital maskless and standing over a woman and recording her bleed to death is weirdly unsurprising. pic.twitter.com/aAN5zzdANh

You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea
In 2016, the UK transported 484,000,000 tons of freight by sea, but just 2,511,000 tons by air (192x less than by sea). Therefore absurd to think of simply substituting air freight for sea freight (e.g. if we have to fly in food or medicines because of post-Brexit jams at ports)

But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster
Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47

And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical
Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot
