Jake Chansley - Qanon Shaman

Jake Chansley - Qanon Shaman
Sep 11, 2023

With Qanon still maintaining a grip of a sizeable number of people,
The Opperman Report thought it would be interesting to catch up
with the iconic Jacob Chansley, who many will recall was the man in
the painted face and horns who was pictured in the House of
Congress on January 6th, 2021.

In a fascinating interview, Chansley talks about his motivations
and beliefs, and why Qanon has become such a movement.

Jacob Chansley also known under the name Jake Angeli, and as the
QAnon Shaman, Q Shaman,d Yellowstone Wolf, is an American alt-right
conspiracy theorist and activist who participated in the January 6
attack on the United States Capitol, which he was convicted of
felony charges of obstructing an official proceeding. He has been a
supporter of President Donald Trump and a believer and disseminator
of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Chansley attended demonstrations in the Phoenix, Arizona, area
starting around 2019, in particular in a march for climate. At
rallies, he promoted conspiracy theories supporting Trump, and he
has been a counterprotestor at Black Lives Matter events. His
appearance, with face paint utilizing the colors and symbols of the
American flag and a headdress made of animal fur, helped to
establish his shaman nicknames.

After being photographed taking part in the January 6 storming of
the Capitol, Chansley was arrested on January 9 on federal charges
of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or
grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and
disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds". He pleaded guilty to a
single charge in September, and was sentenced to 41 months (3.4 yr)
in prison in November 2021. He served out a portion of his sentence
at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona,
and was transferred to a halfway house on March 28, 2023, from
which he was released on May 25, 2023.
