We finally hear from the ‘QAnon Shaman’: He’s not who you think he is, both in terms of what he did and where he came from
American Thinker ^ | 03/05/2021 | Andrea Widburg

If there is one person who became the living emblem of the incursion into the Capitol on January 6, it is the man dubbed the “QAnon Shaman.” Jacob Chansley showed up in several pictures with his face painted red, white, and blue; his body covered with shamanistic tattoos; and his head attired with a fur hat sporting large horns. This horror, the media told America, was the living emblem of the evil, racist Trump supporters who were committing a deadly, armed insurrection against the seat of the American government.

Interestingly, the best evidence that, as is often the case, Democrats’ narrative was a lie came from a video The New Yorker published. It shows that Chansley is an odd bird, but obviously was not acting violently. Instead, he engages very politely with a Capitol Hill police officer:

Because of Chansley’s costume (which he’s worn before – and more on that later), he was easy to identify and the government quickly arrested him. He’s been in solitary confinement ever since, with no bail. This is in stark contrast to the way in which BLM and Antifa protesters were treated last year. Despite their heinous acts of looting, property destruction, and attacks on police officers, they were usually released instantly, whether without bail or with monies from leftist celebrities who paid for their bail. And just yesterday, we learned that the Biden DOJ is dismissing Portland Antifa cases left and right -- or just left and left, I guess.

On Thursday, 60 Minutes+ put online an interview with Chansley. Without his rather magnificent costume, he seems very shrunken but, to his credit, he’s not going to accept the reporter’s accusations against him. (And again, just try to imagine Laurie Segall taking that antagonistic tone with someone from BLM or Antifa. )

RE: He’s Antifa and a fraud.

I think this guy is just a showboat who needs attention and the protests ( any protest ) are his venue to show off.

Over the last sixty years America has avidly embraced decadence.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

What the media doesn’t report is that Chansley may be a patriot and non-violent (and good for him on both those scores) but he hasn’t always been a friend to Trump. Instead, less than two years ago, Chansley was an ardent Climate Change activist who opposed Trump. For copyright reasons, I can’t reproduce the photos here, but you can see him in the first picture from the report about a September 2019 march on the Arizona State Capitol to protest Trump’s policies. The sample caption says:

Jake Angeli [aka Chansley], shamanic practitioner, leads the crowd in a yell before the march in solidarity with climate activism groups across the country to the Arizona State Capitol Building Friday, September 20, 2019.

He shows up in another photo saying that he is in the march “to demand action on climate change.” And in another photo, in which he’s in a bull costume and identified as Jake Chansley, he’s holding this sign:

 

At some point, Chansley lost interest in climate change and found QAnon.

Chansley is a character; indeed, he's a lost soul. As he moves from one issue to another, his motives are always because he's always searching, never finding.

Viking hat dude is just another victim of the Qanon grift.

Those Qanon grifters exploited low-information Boomers shamelessly.
This guy just got caught up in that tide. He didn’t hurt anyone and he’s being held without bail like he killed people.

Re: John Sullivan ("Insurgence USA")

This communist POS was posing as a Trump supporter while committing and encouraging acts of violence!

And he wasn't just some leftist, he was the FOUNDER and HEAD of a revolutionary-communist group called "Insurgence USA"!


"in Sullivan’s own videos, he can be heard enthusiastically egging on the saboteurs, at one point yelling, 'It’s our house, motherf—ers!'..."
--NY Post

"a criminal complaint states that he gave footage to the FBI that showed him shouting at rioters: "You guys are f--ing savage. Let’s go!"

Another clip shows him saying: "We gotta get this sh*t burned... it's our house motherf--ers!"

--DailyBeast

John Sullivan with Jade Sacker

From the New York Post...

"A clip circulated on social media shows [John] Sullivan with filmmaker Jade Sacker cheering right after reaching the Capitol Rotunda.

“You were right, we did it!” Sacker tells Sullivan.

I read this on Twitter.

The Q shaman makes a reasonable argument when he says that being waved into the Capitol by police officers and then escorted around the premises created the impression that entering the building was not unlawful.

Since we live in America, the greatest beacon of Freedom in the world, I have a question.

Why is this guy sitting in Jail along with hundreds of others with without Bail?

Did he physically assault a Police Officer? Did he threaten to kill anyone? Did he Rape or Murder anyone?

The simple answer to all these questions is NO.

Since when is Trespassing a Capital Offense? There are People sitting in Jail for Misdemeanor Crimes and are unable to get a Bail Hearing. One person paid the ultimate price for Trespassing.

Where is the ACLU? Where is the SCOTUS? Where is Justice where the Punishment meets the Crime?

What the hell is going on around here?

As usual, Freepers are missing the point.

While the guy might be weird, the charges against him and how he has been treated by the stasi FBI is excessive compared to what has happened to much more violent ANTIFA protesters.

The Original narrative spewed by the Dems/Law Enforcement/Media about Jan 6th is falling apart.

We should all be concerned about their treatment.
