"Well, I sang a song. And that's a part of shamanism. It's about — creating positive vibrations in a sacred chamber."

"I also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space, the Senate. Okay? I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the — out of the break room. And I also said a prayer in that sacred chamber. Because it was my intention to bring divinity, and to bring God back into the Senate." 

Said Jacob Chansley, quoted in "'QAnon Shaman' claims he wasn't attacking the country in first interview since Capitol riot arrest/Jacob Chansley, the man seen wearing face paint and a fur helmet with horns during the January 6 insurrection, tells 60 Minutes+ he was trying 'to bring God back to the Senate'" (CBS News). 

60 Minutes+ correspondent Laurie Segall pushed him: "But Jake, legally, you were not allowed to be in what you're calling the sacred chamber." 

He responded: "And that is — and that is the one very serious regret that I have, was believing that when we were waved in by police officers, that it was acceptable." He also said he regretted not receiving a pardon from Trump and that "while he regrets entering the building 'with every fiber of my being,' he doesn't regret his loyalty to the former president."

Right. Sounds legit.

Yancey Ward said...

Think about this- this man is likely to be bankrupted and spend 5-10 years in prison.

I ask all our progressive readers- would that be justice?

Darrell said...

A policeman waving you in means you are complying with the law. Drop all charges or resign.

Rusty said...

This is the guy that scares the usual suspects shitless.
Buncha pussies.

Joe Smith said...

Not allowed to be there?

His tax dollars pay to keep the heat and lights on, and for the goddamn muffins.

He should cut the sacred bullshit, but if I was on the jury I'd let him go.

Owen said...

The problem with symbols is, they’re powerful. They leverage some gesture or image into a universal; a metaphor that is portable and memorable. So this guy will never be forgiven or forgotten. Until the Sun dies he will stand for Crazy Fringe Trump Insurrection Army. The powers that be, who must position Trump as Sauron and these hapless rioters as his Orcs, will insist on this symbolism.

So his personal story just adds poignancy to the process of his depersonalization, his capture and conversion by the political culture into a fossil of himself.

He'll understand show trials then.

Dr Seuss books have more realty in them than this propaganda false flag oppo has in presence there is a shaman cult of Q.Good job CIA guys. Great sci-fi.

Heap big fake insurrectionist facing many, many moons of fake interrogation by wokeratti transgender fake women and fake men.

All proper rightwing insurrections are "WAVED IN BY POLICE OFFICERS"

Nonapod said...

This fellow is obviously a bit unstable. As to how dangerous actually he is, AFAIK (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) he personally didn't physically assault anyone or destroy property or anything like that. He's guilty of trespassing. Incitement of others is trickier. Other than those, I'm honestly asking what other crimes are their that can be failry layed at his feet?

Sammy Finkelman said...

What he says here isn't really true, I think.

Although he could have stopped someone from stealing some food. Government artifacts, maybe not so much.

Suspended sentence until all the Portland and Seattle rioters are arrested and put on trial

LA_Bob said...

"I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the — out of the break room."

Imagine! Attempting to steal nourishment from our Elected Leaders! The principled Peaceful Protesters in Seattle and Portland would never have done anything like that.

Thank God the Insurrection was defeated!

"[H]e doesn't regret his loyalty to the former president"

The sole purpose of this masturbatory interview.

Calypso Facto said...

I thought if you flooded a Capitol and “ran amok, chanting ‘­This is our house!’ and ‘This is what democracy looks like!’ [while] “searching for [elected officials]" Nancy Pelosi praised you for an "impressive show of democracy in action” with which she would "stand in solidarity"? Oh, that's just when the target is Wisconsin Republicans, you say? Silly me.

D.D. Driver said...

When did we start referring to a jackels' den as a "sacred space"?

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

John Sullivan - known leftist Antifa - yelling "lets burn this shit down" - WHO ALSO broke window(s) & more... he was clearly yelling and talking to his comrades. You know- others on the LEFT.

The head of the FBI is a liar.

The guy wearing face paint and fur - unarmed - LET IN BY THE POLICE - will be the one to face jail time.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

"And that is — and that is the one very serious regret that I have, was believing that when we were waved in by police officers, that it was acceptable."

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

It is unacceptable to be in Marie Antoinette Pelosi's house. she owns it, ya know.

It's not the people's house - it's the house of corruptocrat.

hombre said...

Well, he was trespassing. The Senate does need God. We’ve seen videos of the police ushering people into the building and he supports Trump.

Three out of four on target looks pretty good.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Now do CODEPINK and how they keep violating that sacred (cough cough iñigo montoya cough) oh so sacred space.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

So if Buffalohead is NOT leading the sacred insurrection i demand to know then, WHO IS MY LEADER. Cause now i like need to know. I thought this guy was our guy. Man am i fucking lost. I aint on team Joe. THAT I know.

Gusty Winds said...

And that is — and that is the one very serious regret that I have, was believing that when we were waved in by police officers, that it was acceptable."

Most interesting part of the interview. People were waved in. I'll bet Christopher Wray knows how and why.

And can we stop with the "sacred space" bullshit?? Mitt Romney, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell hang out there with a LOT of other assholes. They defile it every day.

60 Minutes+ correspondent Laurie Segall pushed him: "But Jake, legally, you were not allowed to be in what you're calling the sacred chamber."

60 Minutes had to bring in a younger correspondent ostensibly ignorant of the history of civil disobedience?

It used to be known as "The People's House" back in Free America.

"A policeman waving you in means you are complying with the law."

No, but it does seem that, if it happened, it would be entrapment.

wendybar said...

AND??? No arms, no insurrection, no violence except for the Capitol police shooting of an unarmed woman....The whole thing is a joke, meanwhile cities are burning down and cops are getting killed daily.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

His biggest crime is that he is a Trump supporter.

If you commit arson in the name of antifa - it's all good.

DarkHelmet said...

IMO, the 'sacredness' of the Capitol ranks somewhere around that of a bordello or an outhouse. Similar functions.

The best thing we could do for this country is demolish the entire educational system that has filled the heads of three generations with rubbish.

The second best thing we could do is have strict term limits for all elected officials. The idea that someone like Biden can live off the taxpayer dime for 47 years is obscene.

gilbar said...

Assuming (for the sake of argument) that House Rule 1 does NOT become law....

in 2023, when both the House and the Senate are republican controlled,
will Anyone (ANYONE?) complain about "insurrection" when the capitol is overran by protesters?

YoungHegelian said...

Well, I sang a song. And that's a part of shamanism. It's about — creating positive vibrations in a sacred chamber....I also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space, the Senate. Okay? I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the — out of the break room. And I also said a prayer in that sacred chamber. Because it was my intention to bring divinity, and to bring God back into the Senate.

Wow, dude, hard core.

I mean, is this guy the re-incarnation of Pol Pot or what? /sarc

HR 1 will be enacted by the judiciary just prior to the 2022 elections and the declaring of pandemic for COVID 22.

stlcdr said...

What was the specific law he was charged with? Was it a federal law, or a local law?

William said...

He's guilty of lese majeste, and he lesed the wrong majeste. If he had wandered in an taken a dump on Jim Jordan's desk, his actions would have been protected under the first amendment....He sounds pretty flaky. He definitely deserves punishment, but he'll probably get way more than he deserves.

None of these “insurrectionists” look like they could successfully organize a backyard barbecue.

Neither do the guys dressed in black carrying laser pointers and bottles of piss but that is not the point.

Unknown said...

Surprised 60 Minutes would air this interview. Letting the public hear that people were waved in by police. Plus it makes the all the Swampers expressing terror look absurd. Come on - you were terrified by a loon wearing a buffalo head protecting muffins.

wendybar said...

Tell me again, that there isn't two systems of justice in this country....

PORTLAND, Ore. — Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of cases stemming from last summer’s violent protests in downtown Portland, when protesters clashed with federal agents. KGW reviewed federal court records and found 31 of the 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including a mix of misdemeanor and felony charges.


Some of the most serious charges dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer, which is a felony. More than half of the dropped charges were "dismissed with prejudice," which several former federal prosecutors described as extremely rare. “Dismissed with prejudice” means the case can’t be brought back to court. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/portland-protest-cases-dismissed-feds/283-002f01d2-3217-4b12-8725-3fda2cad119f

rcocean said...

OK whatever. I don't think Trump is blame for some kook wearing a helmet and buffalo robes walking into the House/Senate chamber and stealing Nancy's gavel. "What you did is against the law". How quaint. Antifa/BLM rioters broke the law by the tens of thousands. And were praised by Biden and Pelosi.

rcocean said...

You only had to look at the video of Buffalo Robe guy and 10 people WALKING - without any resistance - into the house chamber to know there was no ARMED INSURRECTION!

And its now been confirmed that ZERO - I repeat - ZERO policemen or innocent bystanders were killed by the rioters during "The INSURRECTION". And byron york has investigated and found ZERO people were armed with pistols or rifles. So is it called "armed"? well, they had deadly weapons. Like: A baton. A helmet. A lacrosse Hockey Stick. Pepper spray.

rcocean said...

No one mentions that a liberal Democrat tried to murder 10 Republican Congressman and shot five of them. Or that a Liberal democrat tried to murder Senate Republicans in 1983 with 200 lbs of explosive. OR that Liberal Democrats have been threatening Trump with violence ever since 2015. OR that Antifa and its supporters killed 2 trump supporters in Denver & Portland. And tried to kill Rittenhouse, before he got them.

Nothing the liberal/left does is violent. EVERYTHING the Center-right does is terrorism. Everyone knows this is a joke. But the MSM keep pretending otherwise, and everyone goes along.

n.n said...

Q who?

Hundreds of thousands assembled for audit the vote, hundreds at the Capitol, dozens who were and were not "Trump supporters" protesting. Crowd control absent. Federal assistance denied a la Katrina Controversy. One death without cause of an unarmed female veteran through a targeted shooting.

He'll understand show trials then.

Dance, deplorable. Kneel. Beg. Just do it!

did the Q-anon shaman army take over the country yet? with Nancy and her corruptocrats gone, those offices are ripe for... photo ops and stuff. perhaps the guards can welcome them in?

Yancey Ward said...

My bad!!! I misunderstood the orders coming down from the insurrection high council. The attack and inauguration of Trump is supposed to happen on March 5th, not 4th.

Matt Sablan said...

It's a real shame that this guy is going to get hammered as hard as he is. He wrongly believed you could invade Congress, maybe even yell at a Senator by an elevator, maybe even disrupt the proceedings... and everyone would fete you as a hero.

Poor guy. Didn't realize there was, as they say, a (D)ifference.

Matt Sablan said...

"Tell me again, that there isn't two systems of justice in this country."

-- Don't forget the two women who firebombed a police car who got a plea deal. They probably would've still gotten one even if someone had been inside; given that they were arming other insurrectionists with molotov cocktails and encouraging them to attack police -- I'm guessing they were just too incompetent to notice it was empty.

JaimeRoberto said...

"'QAnon Shaman' claims he wasn't attacking the country..."

Maybe because he wasn't "attacking the country".

Ron Winkleheimer said...

I think the PTBs are airing the interview to press home the message that if they can ruin the life of so obviously a harmless person who was clearly entrapped by the police then they can do it to you too. So keep your mouth shut and obey peasant! The Capitol police officer wearing the MAGA hat, probably instructed to do so in order to help lure the victims in.
