"QAnon Shaman says he’s rightful president, sues Trump for $40 trillion"

Following on the post immediately below, "Illinois Governor Pritzker Calls For 25th Amendment To Be Invoked On Trump". 

From the Phoenix New Times, September 26:

In a rambling complaint, Jacob Chansley claims DJs are spies, that the NSA stole his work for a Batman movie and more. 

Arizona resident Jacob Chansley, better known to America as the QAnon shaman who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a striking horned warrior outfit, is suing a host of entities – including the federal government and President Donald Trump – for $40 trillion. In the process, the Phoenix resident is claiming that he is the rightful leader of the United States.

In a rambling, 26-page complaint that consists of a single paragraph and reads like a manifesto, Chansley alleges that his First, Fourth and Second Amendment rights have been violated by a host of parties that are loosely related at best. Named as defendants are Trump, the Federal Reserve, the National Security Agency, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Bank of International Settlements, the state of Israel, Elon Musk’s X Corp., T-Mobile, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Warner Bros. Studios.

Chansley says that the supposed cabal allegedly engaged in a conspiracy to systematically violate the American people’s constitutional rights. Chansley, who is representing himself, filed the suit Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court. Given that it contains federal claims – albeit wildly specious ones – it likely belongs in U.S. District Court.

Chansley did not respond to inquiries from Phoenix New Times made via the phone number and email he listed on his court paperwork.

The claims in Chansley’s suit include:

  • That the central banking system and the Federal Reserve are unconstitutional
  • That the U.S. government is guilty of treason for prioritizing the interests of foreign financiers at the expense of the American people
  • That the NSA surveilled Chansley daily using the Patriot Act as he was writing a “2nd Declaration of Independence”
  • That “all radio stations and most of their DJ’s are a part of the intelligence community”
  • That a scene in the 2008 Christopher Nolan-directed Batman film “The Dark Knight” and many plot details in 2009’s “Avatar” were cribbed from his writing and are proof that the NSA was spying on him
  • That the NSA catfished him on Facebook by contacting him while pretending to be actress Michele Rodriguez, whom Chansley identifies as “my celebrity crush”
  • That he was then “offered the opportunity to work with the NASA covertly and help them deal with other-worldly matters” that his “shamanic beliefs” made him “a perfect candidate to handle”
  • That he was emailed by Donald Trump on Jan. 8, 2021, from an address of donaldtrump@nsa.gov
  • That the government stole more than $100,000 in cryptocurrency from him

“These seemingly insignificant facts are designed to seem insignificant on their face,” Chansley wrote about the NSA’s spying on his computer, “but if a person were in the loop of what I had written on my computer a few months prior those details would stand out to a sharp mind.”....
