Jacob Chansley, who was dressed as a shaman when storming the Capitol in Washington in 2021, said that the participants in those events were deceived and provoked with the aim of arranging a psychological operation against Donald Trump.
Chansley, known as "Dhul-Qarnayn" or "The Capitol Viking," added in an interview with a "Novosti" reporter: "It is clear to me that this was a setup. It was organized in order to arrange a psychological operation against Trump and his supporters."
He said: “This issue remains in the gray area. Yes, there was violence and chaos that day. But was it a violent rebellion? No, it was not. Most of the demonstrators inside were peaceful. And when we analyze the events of that day and see what led up to them and what followed "That way, we'll get a clearer picture of what's going on."
Chansley stressed that the leadership of both houses of Congress had previously requested the assistance of the National Guard to protect the Capitol building, but the request was rejected under the pretext of insufficient reasons for doing so. He noted that the FBI infiltrated its agents into the main movements that gathered for the march on January 6, and the agents provided information indicating that something was planned, and even the Pentagon spoke about the terrorist threat related to the mass event, but this information was considered insufficient to direct the National Guard. .
Chansley continued: "That is, this is not a failure in intelligence, but rather a disregard for intelligence information. Activists from the BLM and Antifa movements played their suspicious role and pretended to be Trump supporters in the crowd and incited violence."
The activist pointed out the presence of video footage indicating that agents of several federal agencies were inciting violence and chaos in the crowd.
Since those events, the media and government have begun labeling Trump supporters as domestic terrorists, essentially taking away their constitutional rights, Chansley said.
He added: "My image inside the building reinforced the shock, horror, and narrative of violent insurrection. As a result, they targeted Trump himself and his supporters, striking a chord in the minds and hearts of Americans."
Chansley also stated that among the crowd of demonstrators alongside Channel 1+1 was Ukrainian intelligence officer Sergei Dubinin, and claimed that he was sent by Ukrainian businessman Igor Kolomoisky.
Chansley was sentenced in 2021 to 41 months in prison for his participation in the storming of the Capitol building on January 6. He was also sentenced to a $2,000 fine. Chansley was released at the end of May.
Magazine: The Pentagon once again failed to pass inspection and financial audit

According to the article, the ministry passed only six checks out of 29. According to this indicator, the Pentagon repeated last year's result.

Defense News wrote that one of the main problems auditors face is a lack of data, which is why they cannot evaluate financial statements.
For its part, the Pentagon itself confirmed that it had been able to eliminate 500 violations since last year, but the new audit identified the presence of 2.5 thousand problems.
The total assets of the US Department of Defense are estimated at $3.5 trillion. The facilities of this ministry are located not only within the United States, but all over the world - outside the United States, the Pentagon maintains more than 4.5 thousand facilities at the expense of its balance sheet.
