The Shaman, Jacob Chansley saved us all
American Thinker ^ | 03/15/2023 | Tadas Klimas

What the Democrats had planned on J6 — January 6, 2021, the day the votes were made official at the Capitol, never happened.

Just consider the crackdown that did occur subsequent to J6. Consider then what would have happened had there in fact been an Antifa/Democrat style riot at the Capitol.

They would have come down on everything on the “Right.”

Everything would have been shut down. Every non-Woke website and news service (this one for sure).

They would have initiated a brazen campaign of censorship — for our “safety” of course. It was still at the time somewhat behind-the-scenes and deniable. It would have been out front and vicious.

Any better-known people on the Right, and even many Average Joes, would have been canceled and interned.

Scorched earth.

Somebody might be thinking, “Really?” To that person we say — hasn’t the Left demonstrated there are no limits to their madness? Any limit to their perfidy?

They were going after Catholics and parents.

They look at downtowns burned by leftwing rioters and exclaim, “Mostly peaceful!”

They masked and vaxxed children, a population near-immune to Covid fatalities, then confined the kids in terror to their homes.

They (s)elect, if they wish, the brain-damaged, and it makes no difference.

Anything that winds up in their narrative is, and anything that isn’t, is not. Shades of the trial of Jesus: “What is truth?”, indeed. It’s whatever they, like Pontius Pilate, say it is.

Nothing would have stopped them.

But, instead, we got Jacob Chansley. The “QAnon Shaman.”

On J6, Chansley ambled down the corridors, got a police-conducted tour, then said a prayer and howled. Who knows his politics, or cares?

What neither Chansley, nor hundreds of others who were there that day did, was riot.

They did not come brandishing firearms. (Who goes to insurrect without guns? This is America about which we are talking.)

They set no fires. This is worth repeating. They set no fires. 

On the other hand, Antifa set fire to the “Church of Presidents” in a real riot, albeit memory-holed, in front of the White House.

Now, granted, Chansley may be just a very, very weird, though non-violent, guy. The others, though, walking about calmly, staying between the lines, taking selfies with the police…these seem to be just plain decent folk who wandered in through open doors to a place ordinarily open to the public.

There are two other reasons that this calmness and decency are so remarkable.

Agents provocateur, of whom there were beaucoup. An “agent provocateur” is a person working for the government who tries to provoke someone into committing a crime.

I think Chansley got demonized and screwed with his sentence. But I also think there is a danger for conservatives turning him into a martyr. He is nuts and what he did is illegal. He should be punished and his actions should be condemned. If we saw a liberal storming into the Capitol and making bizzare statements on the floor like he did, we’d think the person should be punished. But the relentless demonization of him is evidence of a Democrat/media alliance to weaken Republicans in order to stay in power.

One year tops, not 41 months.

TBD. The Marxist Left is still on the march in this country, and I don't see anyone slowing their roll.

It’s a Commie hallmark to identify a figurehead of your opposition and foist them on their own petard. The left hate Chansley for calling off the crowd, so they made sure he got four years. They have also made the eccentric Chansley the symbol of their staged insurrection because he is such an easy mark. To that extent, he was not unlike all the rest who were there that day - props for Pelosi’s choreographed Reichstag. What a setup it was.

He should be punished at least as hard as the Code Pink protestors, many of whom spent one night in jail. Oh my! Others were immediately released and allowed to rejoin the event they were ejected from, depending on committee rules.

Others were convicted by a jury of parading and disruption of Congress (sound familiar?) only to have the charges later dropped by the DOJ on appeal.

Yes, they deserve to be treated as harshly./sarc

“He is nuts and what he did is illegal.”

I believe he does have mental issues. But how is a friendly tour of the Capital, with Capital Police as tour guides, illegal?

Meanwhile, the government got what it wanted. The right to be shut down and too afraid to protect anymore.

One year tops, not 41 months.

The capitol police let him into the building and made no effort to physically restrain him or escort him out of the building. We don't know what if any verbal commands were giving to him. I haven't seen video of how he got into the senate chambers, but I am assuming there was no attempt block him from doing so.

Alberta's Child made a post along the lines of the attack was by a Hager the Horrible cartoon cutout shortly after the sh**sh*w happened. Hager had TSA style fast tracking admittance.

Are you saying there was no riot or violence at the Capitol in January 6? Or that the footage we’ve all seen showing rioting and violence is fake? And that the people who plead guilty of rioting at the Capitol don’t exist, or that they’re antifa pretending to be Trump supporters?

RE: Are you saying there was no riot on January 6?

No, that is most definitely NOT what I’m saying. Nor is it what Tucker Carlson and fellow FReepers are saying.

I’m saying that those who DID RIOT should be prosecuted ( a few hundred of them ), the rest who did not ( like Jacob Chansley ) should NOT be prosecuted and if jailed, released.

This is every single reasonable American’s opinion, Tucker Carlson included.

There is NO JUSTICE when the innocent are jailed with the guilty.

Also, there has to be an investigation as to WHO instigated the riots. There’s evidence that it was an inside job ( See the videos of RAY EPPS, who was never prosecuted ).

Ray Epps may have gotten expenses paid for being an instigator
for Nancy encouraging protesters to storm the Capitol with a bull horn and entering the Capitol which is seen on videos. He denied that he ever entered the Capitol under oath, but the Committed declined to investigate further.

It's supposed to be the people's house. You are OK with it being the house of the elites were nary a commoner should trod? Thank God for all there for J6, the rest of the sane world thinks we are pathetic for electing a dementia patient for President, but the fact that J6 happened tells the world some people in US aren't that stupid and the election was messed up, as it was.
