Q-Anon Shaman dishes: January 6 was a psy-op

Jacob Chansley, known as the Q-Anon Shaman for his colorful costume, shared his story publicly this morning. In an exclusive to The Gateway Pundit, he charges that the January 6 event was a false-flag pseudo-operation. More than that, he says it was the opening gambit in a psychological warfare operation against half the American people. Specifically, it was against Donald J. Trump and his supporters.

Background on the Q-Anon Shaman

Jacob Chansley, of course, is the one who wore the costume with a Viking-like helmet and patriotic-colored war paint. He drew a 41-month prison sentence two years ago for his role – this although the Capitol Police let him in. (Not only that, but to all appearances they gave him a guided tour!) But in March 2023 Tucker Carlson released the first January 6 footage – showing the Q-Anon Shaman getting the guided tour. (And not only him but others as well, none of whom committed any vandalism.) Elon Musk used that footage to argue for Chansley’s early release. At the end of March, he won that early release, after less than 27 months in jail from his arrest.

CNAV covered this release at the time, and now repeats: federal authorities have been lying to the American public. The non-threatening nature of Chansley’s conduct was only the most striking revelation. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick did not, as authorities asserted, die in the line of duty. Nor did anyone strike him with any sort of blunt instrument. He suffered a stroke and died on January 7. And: Ray “Into the Capitol!” Epps lied under oath when he appeared before the January 6 Committee. Ray Epps now faces trial – for trespassing.

The Transition Integrity Project, in the summer of 2020, never contemplated a January 6 Event in its Biden-win war games. (See the clear win and narrow win games.) So someone must have decided to lay on this operation as January 6 approached.

What Jacob Chansley now says

The Q-Anon Shaman begins with what one must admit is a long-winded definition of psychological warfare. Actress Leslie Stefanson, as Capt. Elizabeth Campbell USA in The General’s Daughter (1999), gave the simplest definition.

Mostly, we f*ck with people’s minds.

Chansley concentrated on affecting the minds of a large group of people – and especially a mass electorate. Psy-ops are tissues of lies, with just enough truth to make people accept the lies as part of them.

The world has seen these in the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, and especially with the misrepresentation of the Gaza Hospital Incident as the mass-casualty event it wasn’t. But that war demonstrates something else. A good psy-op requires a baseline campaign to “set the stage.” This necessarily requires either “moral equivalency” of objectively good or evil sides, selectivity of outrage, or both.

We see that precise dynamic with the January 6 Event. The baseline campaign says that President Trump is a racist, and has built a racist following. (Or one can substitute “sexist,” “homophobic,” “transphobic,” or, until recently, “antisemitic.”) Furthermore, that following would be just crazy enough to storm the Capitol, take Congress hostage, and make Trump a dictator. Without that baseline, no one would ever believe the January 6 narrative – and the planners knew it. But the Transition Integrity Project war-gamers clearly believed that narrative themselves.

Q-Anon Shaman goes into details

The Q-Anon Shaman directly accuses the FBI of the operational planning and execution. (He also accuses the CIA, with his reference to Operation Mockingbird. Contributor Bradlee Dean has often reminded readers of that Cold War CIA operation – never shut down, but only redirected.) The FBI, says Chansley, directly infiltrated the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. This served both to gather intelligence on membership and lines of communication, and to steer the two groups to contemplate entering the Capitol. (But the FBI had help! Antifa and BLM both have confessed to – or boasted of – infiltrating the larger crowd at Trump’s big rally that day. A witness told CNAV within days of the event of watching self-identified Antifa and BLM agitators get off buses on 1^st Street SE and having the Capitol Police admit them. This after they shouted their affiliations as if they were passwords!)

Chansley also named names:

• Sergie Dybynyn, whom the FBI boasted was a Ukrainian spy when they interrogated Chansley,
• Ray Epps (of course), and
• Nicholas J. Fuentes, who still has a Telegram channel and made his already-nasty reputation even nastier lately. He willfully distorts the narratives surrounding the Fourth Arab-Israeli War.

Deliberate compromise of security and withholding of intelligence

The Q-Anon Shaman goes on to share information one can easily verify. President Trump offered National Guard troops – in strength equal to one or two infantry divisions – to guard the Capitol. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), then Speaker of the House, declined. And – consistent with the FBI acting nefariously – the FBI withheld whatever intelligence they had from their infiltrators. Chansley describes in detail:

According to Ex-Capitol Police Officer (CPO) Tarik Johnson, Former Chief Intelligence Officer for Capitol Police (CIO) Yogananda Pittman withheld vital intelligence from Ex-Capitol Police Chief (CPC) Sund regarding possible violence at the Capitol on J6. Shockingly, Ex-CPC Sund said the Pentagon also withheld vital intel, regarding the presence of known terrorists in the crowd on J6. Moreover, Ex-CPC Sund had his emergency powers revoked (by the House and Senate), through a law passed shortly before J6 and he was denied National Guard reinforcements due to a “Lack of Evidence” (which seemed to be intentionally suppressed) and “Bad Optics”.

Not only that, but Tarik Johnson ended up asking permission to evacuate Members of Congress for over an hour. His superior didn’t merely refuse permission – he refused even to talk to this officer.

The legacy media have reported in lockstep that an “insurrection” took place at the Capitol. Of course, even the Biden Justice Department has never charged anyone with insurrection or rebellion.

Chansley also mentions a 1948 law, the U.S. Information and Exchange Act, or Smith-Mundt Act. That law regulated the production of government programming for foreign audiences. But it did not let the government show such programming to domestic audiences. But in 2012, Congress amended the law to make some such programming available. (The Associated Press disputed that at the time.) More to the point, legacy media have always lied about whether Capitol Police Officers died in the line of duty – and about the death of Ashli Babbitt.

Destruction of evidence, and selective application of the law

The Q-Anon Shaman shares two more disturbing government practices. First is the destruction of evidence. When the government made Donald J. Trump a criminal defendant, he gained subpoena power. Then his lawyers found out the January 6 Committee destroyed its own records. That, of course, begs the question of why the 117^th Congress even seated that Committee. Regular readers know the purpose that committee served – to write bills of attainder against Trump and all his voters.

The second practice is selective application of the law. Yesterday and today, large numbers of pro-Palestinian demonstrators swarmed the lobbies of the Cannon House Office Building, and the Capitol.

Not only that, but the United States Senate (under Democratic Party control) is covering up, even with a false livestream:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced her intention to file for censure against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her apparent role in organizing these demonstrations.

The point here is that the kind of mass arrests, detentions without trial, and outsized sentences are not forthcoming. Chansley charges that “Higher Ups” in the Capitol Police permitted these demonstrations to begin and continue. Former Officer Johnson told Chansley that the Capitol Police is an arm of the Democratic Party. Evidently Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), while Speaker of the House, neglected to “clean house” in the Capitol Police.

Summing up

Anyone having eyes to see, should have been able to recognize the signs of a false-flag pseudo-operation from the start. The Q-Anon Shaman is speaking out now, mainly because:

1. Nothing stops him now, and
2. The spectacle of pro-Gazan demonstrations taking place with impunity provoked him.

With regard to that last, the Democratic Party must be split about now. Why allow these demonstrations and simultaneously dispatch troops and a second carrier battle group to the war zone? Or is President Biden trying to have it both ways?

As may be, Jacob Chansley has done the American people a valuable service, by framing the evidence in stark relief. But we also see that the Republican Party needs some housecleaning of its own. Getting rid of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) was not enough. Basic human liberty is at stake, even as the House prepares to select a new Speaker.
