meHe got it on the front pages of newspapers around the world, but no, Jake Angeli doesn’t give interviews to established outlets like “The Republic” – he doesn’t talk to fake news broadcasters, he let the American magazine ask him to rank.
So if you want to know what drives the 32-year-old, who with his striking appearance – shirtless, fur hat with horns – was one of the most unusual figures among the people who stormed the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday, you have to go especially on social media. Research means.
There are isolated portraits, video clips, but also verbal contributions from the well-trained tattoo aficionado, which at least suggest something about his motives.
In May, for example, he told a reporter for the “Arizona Republic” who spoke to him on the sidelines of a seemingly undercover pro-Trump event that he wanted to support his president and protect him from criticism from the media.
Consequently, Angeli says that she sees all the criticism in the media about him and what he is doing. But there is also another point of view. He (Trump) should see that there are also people who support him, good people, true patriots.
So it’s clear Angeli was a “true patriot” at the pro-Trump rally in Washington on Wednesday and that she even made it to the Capitol along with dozens of other protesters.
Jake Angeli is an actor, at least sometimes
The photos of the heavily tattooed man with the striking headdress (a so-called buffalo hat made of fur and with animal horns), who shouted his triumph, went around the world and definitely fulfilled a need of the protagonist, attention.
Angeli sees himself as a figure in show business, dreams of a career as an actor or singer and occasionally works as a voice actor, American media report. The headdress, the face paint, the naked torso, all this serves to attract attention, wrote the “Arizona Republic” newspaper, with which Angeli apparently exchanged a few more phrases.
Heated exchange with the security forces

But in addition to narcissism and a yearning for showmanship, Angeli apparently also fuels an ideology that is widespread in the US.
Angeli is a fan of “Qanon,” which is why she believes in a conspiracy in the highest circles of government, in secret networks of child molesters and in the ominous and disproven “Pizza Connection”, which continues to make headlines.

It is this typical and toxic combination of exaggerated individualism, an exaggerated concept of freedom and conspiracy theories that are shared by so many supporters of the (still incumbent) president of the United States, Trump. The source of all these theories is, and Angeli confirmed this in her numerous ultimately statements, the Internet. “From a certain point it all fell into place somehow,” he is quoted in a portrait in “Arizona Republic.” Then he thought, “My God. Now I see the reality of what is happening. “
The group with whom Angeli entered the Capitol
What app
Several keywords follow in his comments that are also popular in unconventional German thinker circles: the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Bilderberg Group, that is, groups that would secretly control the world.
Needless to say, there is also a healthy dose of anti-Semitism. The self-proclaimed “Q-Shaman” has a tattoo of a rune symbol on his chest that plays on a Nazi symbol and is particularly popular with white supremacists. The fact that a man like Angeli posed bare-chested and this tattoo in the Senate should be a shame the United States won’t be able to forget anytime soon, especially since he wasn’t the only one: also a protester with a “Camp Auschwitz “. – T-shirt with printed logo.
It’s open if Angeli can benefit from her questionable long-term fame. In any case, financially it looks pretty bleak: When crowdfunding began weeks before the so-called “Million Maga March” on December 12, which was supposed to reimburse him for $ 800 in travel expenses to Washington, it raised just $ 50. Of course, the Q-shaman came to the demo anyway, whatever.
