{{cquote|He believes that [[New World Order|global elites]] are running the world, that United States leaders are part of a [[Pizzagate|secret rings of child abusers who practice satanic worship]], and other [[conspiracy theory|debunked theories]].

He has repeatedly demonstrated dramatic, erratic behavior, an [[sociopath|inability to conform to societal norms]], and an unwillingness to appreciate the consequences of his actions.

He abides by his own belief system, acts accordingly regardless of the criminal consequences, and brings others along with him.

His ability and willingness to conform his behavior to pre-trial supervision conditions appears to be virtually nil.|||U.S. Attorney's Office memorandum charging Angeli with two felonies for his actions in the [[2021 U.S. Capitol riot]]<ref name=npr>Bill Chappell, [https://text.npr.org/957201436 U.S. Says Rioters At Capitol Aimed 'To Capture And Assassinate Elected Officials'].

He is known by the ''nom de plume'' '''QAnon Shaman''' (usually shortened to '''Q Shaman'''), due to being a self-proclaimed "[[shaman]]" (since rebranded to '''America's Shaman''').<ref name="azcentral">{{cite web|url=https://eu.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/2023/05/31/jake-angeli-a-changed-man-from-jan-6-riot-shaman-to-merch-pitchman/70271508007/|title='QAnon Shaman' Jake Angeli says he's a new man – and he's got merch to sell you|last=Roberts|first=Laurie|date=May 31, 2023|publisher=AZ Central}}</ref> In practice, this means appearing in public wearing elaborate costumes and screaming about [[Satanism|Satan-worshipping]] [[pedophile]]s controlling the world (i.e., [[Pizzagate]]).<ref name=gloats>Rich Schapiro and Michael Kosnar, [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/capitol-rioter-horned-hat-gloats-feds-work-identify-suspects-n1253392 Capitol rioter in horned hat gloats as feds work to identify suspects].

In a previous incarnation, Chansley was in the Navy from 2005-2007 and has what one may presume was a less-than-honorable discharge for [[Anti-vaccination movement|refusing to take an anthrax vaccine]].<ref>[https://taskandpurpose.com/news/qanon-shaman-guy-navy-veteran-vaccine/ The ‘QAnon shaman’ guy got kicked out of the Navy for refusing a vaccine: Somebody didn't read their Oath of Enlistment.] by James Clark (Jan 12, 2021 1:59 PM) ''Task & Purpose''.</ref>

He first gained infamy in the fact-checker community for his frequent appearances at protests, usually pro-[[Donald Trump|Trump]] or [[COVID-19 pandemic|anti-lockdown]], where he would appear wearing a "Shaman dress" which consists of a coyote-fur headdress with bovine horns and red-white-and-blue facepaint. He is also tattooed with several [[Norse mythology|Norse mythological]] and religious symbols (e.g., a large [[Asatru]] {{wpl|Mjöllnir}}) popular among the [[neopagan]] [[far-right]], despite being a [[Christian]]. For the general public, he got his big break during the [[2021 U.S. Capitol riot]]. In September 2021, he pleaded guilty to corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding, a joint session of Congress,<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/qanon-shaman-guilty-plea/2021/09/02/d4b233aa-0c28-11ec-aea1-42a8138f132a_story.html 'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley, face of pro-Trump Capitol riot, pleads guilty to felony] by Spencer S.

In November 2023, Angeli announced his intention to run for Congress in the 2024 election cycle as a [[Libertarian Party]] candidate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-congress-arizona/|title=Former "QAnon Shaman" apparently running for Congress|date=November 13, 2023|publisher=CBS News}}</ref> He ultimately failed to get on the ballot, however.<ref>{{cite web | last=Packer | first=George | title=What Will Become of American Civilization? | website=The Atlantic | date=2024-06-10 | url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/07/phoenix-climate-drought-republican-politics/678494/ | access-date=2025-05-17}}</ref>

==Participation in the Capitol insurrection attempt==
{{main|2021 U.S. Capitol riot}}
Angeli suddenly found himself thrust into the mainstream spotlight when he participated in the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, where he was photographed storming into the U.S. Capitol dressed in full regalia and armed with a spear.{{shock}} He was promptly listed by the D.C. police as a person-of-interest due to not bothering to hide his identity<ref name="KVOA">[https://kvoa.com/news/2021/01/07/jake-angeli-the-story-behind-the-horned-arizona-protester-in-the-capitol-unrest/ Jake Angeli: The story behind the horned Arizona protester in the Capitol unrest]. kvoa.com, 7 January 2021.</ref> and was arrested on federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds".<ref name="United States Department of Justice">United States Department of Justice, [https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/three-men-charged-connection-events-us-capitol Three Men Charged in Connection with Events at U.S. Capitol], 9 January 2021.</ref>

During the insurrection, Chansley gave a prayer in the Senate chamber that referenced [[Christian nation]]alist [[ideology]], that the country would be "reborn" "In Christ’s holy name".<ref>[https://www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org/jan-6 Attack on The Capitol: Evidence of the Role of White Christian Nationalism] by Andrew L. Seidel (2022) ''Christians Against Christian Nationalism''. Pages 25-40.</ref>{{rp|34}}

==Betrayal by his own tribe==
After being swiftly identified and arrested by authorities, Angeli was subsequently thrown under the bus by his fellow QAnoners and Trump supporters. Many of them were quick to accuse him of being an [[Antifa]] [[agent provocateur]] (based on cropped down pictures from a [[BLM]] protest, which he was actually protesting ''against''; the cropping left out his QAnon sign<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-supporters-falsely-claim-a-far-right-activist-at-the-us-capitol-is-actually-a-liberal-2021-1?r=US&IR=T Trump supporters falsely claim a far-right activist at the US Capitol is actually a member of 'Antifa'], Business Insider, January 7, 2021</ref> because [[Confirmation bias|that obviously wouldn't have helped the far-right cover their asses and maintain their "moral high ground" when they got caught]]), despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. Angeli was not amused.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/q-shaman-stormed-capitol-upset-192631226.html The 'Q Shaman' who stormed the Capitol is upset Trump supporters are claiming he's 'Antifa' in disguise] Yahoo! News, January 11, 2021</ref>

Angeli was betrayed by his tribe again in the summer of 2025 as Trump reneged on his campaign promise to release the [[Epstein Files]]. Angeli took to [[Twitter]] to express his discontent, calling Trump a "piece of shit" and "fraud" in a since-deleted tweet.<ref>{{cite web | last=Houghtaling | first=Ellie Quinlan | title=Trump Just Lost One of His Most Famous Followers: the QAnon Shaman | website=The New Republic | date=2025-07-23 | url=https://newrepublic.com/post/198286/donald-trump-lost-qanon-shaman-epstein | access-date=2025-07-26}}</ref>

==New Age wackjob==
Prior to his arrest, Angeli was a minor New Age figure. He claimed to have become a "self-initiated shaman” following ingestion of [[magic mushrooms]] and [[peyote]].<ref name=evans>[https://gen.medium.com/the-q-shaman-conspirituality-goes-rioting-on-capitol-hill-24bac5fc50e6 A Closer Look at the 'QAnon Shaman' Leading the Mob: Conspirituality — in which New Age wellness meets conspiracy culture — helped stoke the riot on Capitol Hill] by Jules Evans (January 7, 2021) ''Medium''.</ref> He has claimed to have had "numerous [[paranormal]] and [[UFO]] experiences".<ref name=cgp/> At the same time, he had an obsession with finding [[pedophilia]] codes wherever he drove, which either derived from his QAnon obsession or fed into it.<ref name=evans/>

In September 2019, he led a cheer in support of a [[Global warming|climate strike]] march.<ref name=evans/>

In October 2019, he was on "Cosmic Gaia Podcast", where he talked about "Timelines, fractals, [[DNA]], California fires, dark weaponry and rising above it and also these amazing patches he sells that helped to cure his father of late-stage [[cancer]] and liver disease."<ref name=cgp>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210110090257/https://cosmicgaia.podbean.com/e/jake-angeli-beneficial-solutions-for-our-ascension/ Jake Angeli - Keys for our Ascension] (October 28, 2019) ''Cosmic Gaia Podcast'' (archived from January 10, 2021).</ref> The patches in question were [[alternative medicine]] [[Bullshit|hokum]] from Life-Wave that claim to use [[Light woo|phototherapy]] and which Angeli claimed was a [[panacea]].<ref name=cgp/><ref>[https://archive.ph/V7LI3 Y-Age Aeon] ''Life-Wave'' (archived from 30 Mar 2021 03:15:17 UTC).</ref>

In August 2020, he offered a "[[Alt-right_glossary#Red_pill|red pill]] party" at an [[astrology]] store.<ref name=evans/>

By late 2020, he offered something on [[Facebook]] and elsewhere called "Star Seed Academy — the Enlightenment and Ascension Mystery School",<ref name=evans/><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210107034726/https://phreshphoenix33.wixsite.com/neo-shaman/about About the Author] ''Star Seed Academy Blog Site'' (archived from January 7, 2021).</ref> in which he recommended the use of psychedelic plants in lieu of [[Evidence-based medicine|evidence-based pharmaceuticals]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210107223545/https://phreshphoenix33.wixsite.com/neo-shaman/single-post/2018/03/29/neo-shamanism-a-new-way-of-seeing-the-world Neo-Shamanism: A New Way of Seeing the World] ''Star Seed Academy Blog Site'' (archived from January 7, 2021).</ref>

During a podcast interview while Angeli was in prison, he [[delusions of grandeur|compared himself]] to both [[Jesus]] and [[MLK]].<ref name="headdress">{{cite web|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/qanon-shaman-jacob-angeli-chansley-demands-fbi-return-the-horns-he-wore-on-jan-6|title=‘Qanon Shaman’ Demands the FBI Return the Horns He Wore During Riot|last=Daly|first=Michael|date=January 6, 2024|publisher=The Daily Beast}}</ref>

During his pre-riot phase, he also went by the names [[Yellowstone]] Wolf, Loan Wolf, and [[Manosphere_glossary#Alpha|AlphaMale]].<ref name=evans/>

If all of this sounds fucked up, well, there's actually a name for it, [[conspirituality]], which is the overlap of the New Age, conspiracy culture, and the far right.<ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13537903.2011.539846 The Emergence of Conspirituality] by Charlotte Ward & David Voas (2011) ''Journal of Contemporary Religion'' 26(1):103-121. doi:10.1080/13537903.2011.539846.</ref><ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/03/29/qanon-new-age-spirituality/ QAnon's Unexpected Roots in New Age Spirituality: Masculinity, faith and the strange convergence of counterculture and hate] by Marisa Meltzer (March 29, 2021) ''The Washington Post Magazine''.</ref><ref>[https://gen.medium.com/inside-kelly-brogans-covid-denying-vax-resistant-conspiracy-machine-28342e6369b1 Inside Kelly Brogan’s Covid-Denying, Vax-Resistant Conspiracy Machine: Alt-health meets alt-right in the ‘conspirituality’ movement] by Matthew Remski (Sep 15, 2020) ''Medium''.</ref> So in a sense QAnon was a perfect target for Angeli: all of his nutty ideas reflect right off the map.

==Life behind the costume==
When not wearing his super-shaman getup, in [[real life]] Angeli is a failed actor who still lived with his mother at age 33,<ref>[https://archive.ph/SqeP6 The man in the center with the fur hat and painted face is a QAnon believer from Arizona named Jake Angeli.

In an 18-page briefing against releasing Angeli on bail, the prosecutors argued that the coup plotters intended to capture and assassinate government officials based on a note that Angeli left on Vice President [[Mike Pence]]'s desk that stated, "It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming."<ref name=bailey>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/15/qanon-shaman-trump-kill-pardon/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F2e8b49b%2F6001cac99d2fda0efbb09bad%2F596afa3aade4e24119ab48d9%2F59%2F70%2F6001cac99d2fda0efbb09bad Rioters wanted to ‘capture and assassinate’ lawmakers, prosecutors say.

In speaking to ''[[The Washington Post]]'' before his arrest, Angeli attempted to explain his motivation to mere mortals (and perhaps alluding to the [[Washington, D.C. street design conspiracy theory]]):
{{quotebox|What we did on Jan. 6 in many ways was an evolution in consciousness, because as we marched down the street along these [[ley lines]], shouting 'USA' or shouting things like '[[freedom]]' … we were actually affecting the [[Quantum woo|quantum realm]].}}

In May 2021, a judge ordered Angeli to undergo psychiatric evaluation following claims by his lawyer that imprisonment has been taking a toll on Angeli's mental health.<ref name="lawyerableism">[https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judge-orders-mental-evaluation-of-qanon-shaman-after-lawyer-insults-short-bus-defendants Judge orders mental evaluation of Qanon Shaman] after lawyer insults "short bus" defendants</ref> Said lawyer then went on to insult many of the defendants in the case by calling them "fucking [[ableism|short bus]] people with cases of [[brain damage]]."<ref name="lawyerableism" />

While in prison Angeli made affects to the claim that he felt "betrayed" by Trump and QAnon, but claims that's no longer true, as the ''Arizona Mirror'' explains:

{{quotebox|Leading up to Chansley's plea and sentencing, his lawyer at the time, Al Watkins, said publicly that Chansley felt duped by former President Donald Trump and that he renounced QAnon. But Chansley told the Mirror that neither of those things were true.<ref>Caitlan Sievers, [https://www.azmirror.com/2023/06/22/qanon-shaman-looks-to-overturn-sentence-says-he-never-renounced-qanon/ ‘QAnon Shaman’ looks to overturn sentence, says he never renounced QAnon].

Up until August 2024,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2024/08/05/jake-angeli-qanon-shaman-who-raided-u-s-capitol-gets-back-furry-hat/74679362007/|title=Jake Angeli, the 'QAnon shaman' and US Capitol raider, can get back his furry hat|last=Ruelas|first=Richard|date=August 5, 2024|publisher=Arizona Republic}}</ref> the FBI hadn't returned the horned fur headdress that made Angeli infamous.<ref name="headdress"/> Angeli was unsurprisingly pissed at this,{{efn|It would help his "brand" immensely if he got the thing back.}} and had demanded the feds return the headdress.<ref name="headdress"/> Angeli's contention was that the feds were violating procedure by retaining his headdress as evidence even though the "case is over."<ref name="headdress"/> This is quite [[ironic]] coming from a man convicted of participating in a literal coup attempt, the ''ultimate'' violation of procedure.

In case you believe any of this has stopped Republican politicians from associating with Angeli, you'd be wrong. In February of 2024 Angeli was invited to the lounge of the Arizona Senate where he mingled with Arizona state officials, and even gave testimony to the Arizona Senate itself.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://azmirror.com/briefs/mr-qanon-shaman-goes-to-the-arizona-capitol/|title=Mr. QAnon Shaman goes to the Arizona Capitol|last=Macdonald-Evoy|first=Jarod|date=February 26, 2024|publisher=The Arizona Mirror}}</ref>

==Getting on that grift grindset==
[[File:Shamanmerch.webp|right|180px|thumb|Milking that screaming buffalo for all it's worth.]]
Since his release from prison in March of 2023, Angeli has rebranded himself as "America's Shaman." He has released multiple conspiracist-themed podcasts, selling shaman-themed merchandise, and is providing hour-long coaching services for "only" five hundred dollars per session "in the wide ranging subjects of spirituality, politics, the [[environment]], [[astrology]], [[history]], [[philosophy]], and [[sociology]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boingboing.net/2023/06/23/you-can-buy-a-one-hour-coaching-session-with-the-qanon-shaman-for-a-mere-500-what-are-you-waiting-for.html|title=You can buy a one-hour coaching session with the QAnon Shaman for a mere $500–what are you waiting for?|last=Sandlin|first=Jennifer|date=June 23, 2023|publisher=Boing Boing}}</ref> What are his qualifications, you ask? [[PIDOOMA]], we answer!

Shortly after his release from the halfway house he was holed up at after his early release from prison, Angeli posted a video to [[Twitter]] having abandoned the horns and faux-shaman getup for a "flag-themed bandana" and tie, talking about his prison experiences in a manner suspiciously similar to an "infomercial salesman"<ref name="azcentral"/>:

{{quotebox|One of the most important things I learned is patience. See, the world is currently going through turmoil, the likes of which many of us are not prepared for by our schools, by our governments and our cultural upbringing. However, patience is key if we are to overcome the obstacles before us and simultaneously turn them into opportunities for unity, love and peace.<ref>[https://archive.ph/Ac3Os Archived version of Angeli's press release]</ref>}}

Of course, another lesson provided by his prison experience was the chance to earn cold hard cash courtesy of his now-defunct [[webshite]] "Forbidden Truth Academy".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230525213815/https://www.forbiddentruthacademy.com/ The webshite in question.] (Archived version.)</ref>
