Who is “Shaman QAnon”, protester with horned fur hat, becomes the image of the assault on the Capitol | Freedom

Among the supporters of Donald Trump, present at the assault on the Capitol, the Internet immediately noticed a bizarre character: a man naked from the waist up, painted on his face and with a fur cap, with horns, on his head.

For most, the man represented a spectacular, or at least exotic, presence, given the way images with him went viral on social media.

For some, fewer, his appearance was not a surprise. They knew him very well. This is Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter present at numerous extremist demonstrations in Arizona over the past year.

In Congress, Angeli was caught gesturing, talking to police or holding a flag. What he did at other protests he attended.

QAnon is a strange conspiracy that claims that Donald Trump is waging a secret fight against a Satanist pedophile ring, which includes Democratic politicians, businessmen and celebrities close to the political left. The movement has millions of followers in the US, but also in many other countries, including Romania.

In February 2020, Angeli could be seen at a pro-Trump rally in Phoenix.

He held a sign with the words “Q sent me” and asked the rally participants if they knew of the conspiracy. Some said yes.

Angeli was also present at rallies against COVID restrictions, but also those challenging the results of the Arizona presidential election.

Among other things, writes Central Arizona, it believes that leaders are conspiring to keep great scientific discoveries hidden from the eyes of the world, so that the system remains as it is now.

Angeli said she discovered many of the truths on the internet, through her own documentation, on topics such as the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group.

“At one point, it all made sense. God, now I see reality,” he said.

The QAnon movement, which came later, validated their beliefs since 2016.
