Jacob Chansley is the so-called QAnon Shaman that had the painted face & the horns, which the press made the poster boy of J6. It's an extremely interesting & worthwhile interview, that I believe after you watch the interview, you will walk away with a much different view of him, even if you didn't believe the press BS about him. While I didn't believe the press about him, I kind of thought he was a little strange & mostly weird.

Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman" who wore horns and face paint inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, has been moved from prison to an Arizona-based halfway house just weeks after Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired previously unseen footage of the riot.

Researcher Lilia Kobeleva of the Novosibirsk Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography and colleagues unearthed the finds at the Ust-Tartas archaeological site in the Novosibirsk region of Siberia. 'The beaks were assembled at the back of the skull, along the neck, as if it was a collar that protected the owner when he lived here,' Ms Kobeleva told the Siberian Times. Alternatively, the beaks — of which there are estimated to be between around 30 and 50 — may have been part of a ritual costume, or an elaborate headdress or piece of armour. The beaks will take months to painstakingly...

A California herbalist charged in the death of a diabetic 13-year-old he treated with herbs instead of insulin is heading to prison for four months. In 2014, Timothy Morrow, a self-proclaimed “master herbalist” based in Torrance, Calif., attempted to treat Edgar Lopez for his Type-1 diabetes.
