Your time has been.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think we ever were aware of him before this year but to many he was the guy, the big guy, la grande formage of his own belief system.<\/p>\n<p>Over here, we thought he was something over there. We also were quite content that he was over there and not over here. His presence though became a meme and a symbol.<\/p>\n<p>It was a symbol of insurrection, of freedom, of alternate living and challenging the state. He was to some a bit of a hero by being an anti-hero.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Jacob Anthony Chansley. Your 15 minutes is up.<\/p>\n<p>The image of him in his costume was, for some, quite impressive. It was as if Davy Crockett had met William Wallace from Braveheart, got his face painted and zombie like he was going to remind y\u2019all of what y\u2019all forgot \u2013 the good ole U S of A is the place of restlessness and of the truth and liberty that others in the world y\u2019all crave.<\/p>\n<p>But now, Jacob Anthony Chansley, we now know who you really are.<\/p>\n<p>This last month this \u201cprominent supporter of the baseless conspiracy theory QAnon\u201d accepted a plea deal. This promoter of the absurd and fighter for the oppressed thinkers folded like a stack of cards. His approach was as a gutless Vegas gambler down on his luck looking to spin the wheel one more time and when faced with true and real opposition he just caved.<br \/>\nThis self-pronounced QAnon Shaman, who believed that former President Trump was waging a war against secret elite Satan worshipping pedophiles in government reminded me of a guy in the UK called Nick by the media. It was not his real name. a pedophile who claimed he had been abused at the height of the uncovering of historical child abuse he was able to gain access to money and sympathy, costing the police over \u00a31 Million chasing his lies. I am not suggesting that Chansley suffers from the same issues as \u201cNick\u201d but he does crave the limelight in the same manner.<br \/>\nHe has now gone from the face of that shameless insurrection on Capitol Hill dressed in horns and a bearskin with the American flag painted on his face to a wee guy with a pitiful countenance awaiting sentence. He has already been in prison for 8 months and could face a total of 51.<\/p>\n<p>He came to the capitol because he was told to by Trump. In Scotland we used to get kids all the time saying, \u201cbut mum it wasn\u2019t me, a big boy did it and ran away.\u201d In America that \u201cbig boy\u201d is Mango colored and on a golf course somewhere; shouldn\u2019t somebody go and pick him up before he spreads more mischief?<br \/>\nExcept it was not mischief.<\/p>\n<p>As the Afghanistan withdrawal has led to questions, we know that the terror threat against domestic sites posed by domestic terrorists has never been greater. We are facing a war where those people inside of our countries \u2013 not the Muslims or the immigrants, but the home grown guys with guns \u2013 who pose a far more serious threat to the life of people than some international gang with its tentacles in our suburban landscape.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do we do?<\/p>\n<p>Do we lock up the dangerous or do we see more people punished who, according to his attorney, is \u201cnon-violent, peaceful and possessed of genuine mental health issues&#8221;. He has turned his back on all his nonsense \u2013 will that get him any clemency? Should it? Should we look at how we deal with the people who object to us and how we treat them to measure our democratic values? I think so. 51 months in prison for his crimes? Seems a tad harsh but to the people injured, dead and still suffering it will appear to be too little, too late.<\/p>\n<p>So, what about that big boy \u2013 are you going to allow him to remain the guy who did it, ran away and got away with it?<\/p>\n<p>A view from the new Kailyard or, how you look over there, from over here\u2026<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em><strong>(kailyard n. a genre of sentimental Scottish literature turned into effective invective comment from one Donald worth reading\u2026)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[si-contact-form form=&#8217;2&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Donald \u201cBraveheart\u201d Stewart As I sit in my Kailyard I wonder often about the future.
