Exclusive interview QANON SHAMAN: I WAS RAILROADED!
Blames prison sentence on betrayal & injustice
BUFFALO-horned bully boy Jacob Chansley — the notorious QAnon shaman— stormed the U.S. Capitol last year dressed in furs, red, white and blue face paint and waving an American flag en route to a 41-month prison sentence for his crimes! But in an exclusive interview from his Virginia cell block, the self-proclaimed “patriot” told The National ENQUIRER he’s “still screaming for freedom from behind the bars of an unjust system” after being betrayed by false promises! Tattooed and shirtless Chansley, 34, was photographed egging on fellow conspirators via a megaphone during the Jan. 6 invasion — and now he’s told The ENQUIRER he got a raw deal. “I’ve always looked up to Martin Luther King, Jesus Christ and Gandhi because they had the courage to speak the truth during a time of mass deception. That’s what I’ve been doing,” the poster boy for Capitol Hill chaos told The ENQUIRER.
Before speaking with The ENQUIRER, Chansley, who also goes by the name Jake Angeli, said through his former attorney Albert Watkins he regretted being put in a position “to make decisions he should not have made.” He insisted he was only in the Capitol that fateful day to “bring divinity and to bring God back into the Senate.”
The former Arizona resident claimed he simply “sang a song” and attempted to create “positive vibrations in a sacred chamber.” However, federal lawmen said he also ominously left a note for thenVice President Mike Pence that read: “It’s only a matter of time. Justice is coming!” Watkins claimed Chansley was “duped” by conspiracy theorists into believing the 2020 presidential election had been stolen with
“months of lies” about voter fraud “designed to inflame, enrage, motivate.” His former mouthpiece said the Navy veteran was led down a “primrose path!”
Chansley now plans to appeal his guilty plea through new lawyers.
But months before being locked up, he claimed during an interview with another news organization, “I didn’t break any laws. I walked through open doors.”
But he was later blasted at a pre-trial hearing by Judge Deborah Fine, who labeled him an “active participant in a violent insurrection that attempted to overthrow the U.S. government” and called him a “danger to the community.”
Prison psychologists have diagnosed the inmate with bipolar disorder, transient schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. Still, Chansley insisted to The ENQUIRER he’s totally sane.
Over the course of the interview, Chansley — who called himself “America’s shaman”— refused to discuss details of the Capitol riots because of his appeal. But he repeatedly asserted American politics had become unethical and unjust.
“It is my job as a shaman to get the word out! America has become corrupt through the corrupting of elected officials who, in turn, appoint corrupted unelected officials,” he explained.
Chansley is being held in solitary confinement inside an Alexandria detention center ahead of his transfer to a federal lockup. He spends 22 hour a day inside his cell and passes the time by reading, writing outlines for books and screenplays, meditating, praying and listening to talk radio. He called solitary “soft torture.”
Still, he insists his ordeal has “made me tougher and spiritually strong — like a spiritual diamond.”

Skirmishes on Capitol Hill continued until the National Guard and “other federal protective services” were mobilized at 3:50 p.m., flushing out most of the rioters.
In later months, it’s come to light that the initial plan was even more diabolical.
Ryan Mauro, director of the terrorist-monitoring Clarion Intelligence Network revealed:
“I’ve seen the intelligence flow. These groups plotted attacks on the 50 state capitols on Inauguration Day.” Another political analyst suggested, “It’s hard to believe this ragtag rabble acted alone without any money or political muscle from other as-yet-unknown conspirators, who may even be our nation’s global enemies. The plot has to be much, much deeper!”
The FBI and Congress appear determined to uncover the truth. So far, 732 conspirators have been arrested or imprisoned. But experts warn the Capitol assault serves as a chilling blueprint for future plots against the government.
“I think right-wing extremists across the country have been emboldened by what they saw on Jan. 6,” said Creel. “They just saw what could happen when a poorly organized and poorly equipped group of people stormed the Capitol.
“That’s an incredibly bad omen. If you’re trying to Monday morning quarterback it as a right-wing terrorist, you saw just how easy it is to overthrow the seat of our government by force.”
