				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/nicholas-michael-teausant.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239685" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/nicholas-michael-teausant-450x317.jpg" alt="nicholas-michael-teausant" width="288" height="203" /></a>In March <i>Frontpage</i> <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/lloyd-billingsley/fbi-bags-aspiring-american-assad/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">profiled Californian Nicholas Michael Teausant</span></a>, </span>indicted for attempting to support ISIS, a foreign terrorist organization. Teausant remains in custody but recently <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/2014/08/26/6656921/lodi-area-terror-suspect-says.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">granted an enlightening interview</span></a> to Sam Stanton and Denny Walsh of the <i>Sacramento Bee</i>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #272727;">In March Teausant was en route to Canada and near the border texted a friend who told him “</span>if I get myself out of the country everything will be taken care of, they’ll pay for me to go over there, they’ll give me a gun.” He had been in the National Guard but had not brought along a weapon. His friend also told him “They’ll give me everything I could possibly want. They’ll take care of my family, and that I can always come back to America when this is over.” The friend turned out to be an FBI informer, and that led to his arrest.</p>
<p>“I’m not going to say that I’m completely innocent and I have no fault in this,” Teausant told the reporters. “Some of it is my fault, yes. But then again I also feel that if the informant hadn’t come along I would have just been making idle boasts and I wouldn’t have done anything.” But there’s more to the story.</p>
<p><span style="color: #272727;">Teausant told the reporters that while living in Montana he</span> met a beautiful Muslim woman who would speak only to Muslim men. That spurred his interest in Islam, but it wasn’t only romantic. The zealous convert came to believe his daughter’s day care center was “Zionist.” He wanted to blow it up but claims he told the informant he would only bomb the place when nobody was there. Teausant doesn’t recall discussing any bomb attacks in Los Angeles but on fighting overseas he showed good recall. The newly minted Muslim soon became convinced that the government of Syria needed to be taken down.</p>
<p>“I wanted to go help fight for these people because the New Hampshire slogan is ‘Live Free or Die,’” he told the <i>Bee</i> reporters. “In 1775, we rebelled against Britain because we felt we were being tyrannized and conquered, so we wanted our own freedom. So I felt like I could try and help with that, and give the people freedom that they were fighting for.”</p>
<p>In May his lawyers argued that he would <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/2014/05/13/6402038/lodi-area-terror-suspect-renews.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">never make it to Syria</span></a> and never provide support for anyone. He now tells the <i>Bee</i> his support for ISIS was the informer’s suggestion and that “at the time they were not doing the brutal stuff that they’re doing now,” adding that he is “absolutely abhorred at that Foley thing. I did not see that coming.”</p>
<p>That is a stretch, even for someone reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia. That “Foley thing” would be a beheading, something Islamic jihadists have been doing for centuries for such offenses as being non-Muslim. So despite claims he is “kind of like a cracked egg,” the authorities are sticking to their guns. They told reporters that they reviewed all the evidence, conducted the investigation properly, and are prosecuting the case by the book.</p>
<p style="color: #272727;">Teausant’s case has drawn no comment from Mohamed Abdul Azeez, leader of the <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2012/lloyd-billingsley/fbi-to-honor-cair-linked-group/"><span style="color: #6b0901;">Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims</span></a> (SALAM) Islamic Center and frequently interviewed in the local press. The SALAM center co-hosts events with CAIR and in 2009 Abdul Azeez was the recipient of the <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2009/lloyd-billingsley/the-fbi-awards-by-lloyd-billingsley/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">FBI’s community service award</span></a> “for preventing violence, creating understanding, bringing people together.”</p>
<p style="color: #272727;">Last year after the Tsarnaev brothers bombed the Boston Marathon Abdul Azeez <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/lloyd-billingsley/the-fbis-favorite-imam-sounds-off-on-boston/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">lamented the “explosions in Boston,”</span></a> but told reporters “I don’t want to have to apologize for any crime that’s been committed.” The California Muslim leader said “I feel similar to a gun owner worried about gun laws all the time because people are shooting people, or a Jew who has to worry about the atrocities being committed in Israel.”</p>
<p style="color: #272727;">The articulate Abdul Azeez, who holds degrees from Ohio State and the University of Chicago, has remained quiet about Boko Haram in Nigeria and the beheading of James Foley by ISIS. Meanwhile, Nicholas Teausant, who wanted to support ISIS and blow up a “Zionist” day care center, remains upbeat.</p>
<p>“Even if they gave me the maximum 15 years I’d come out of prison at 35,” he told the <i>Bee</i> reporters. “That still leaves me the rest of my life to go to college and get a Ph.D., do what I want and be with my family.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Nicholas+Michael+Teausant+FB.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-222105" alt="Nicholas+Michael+Teausant+FB" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Nicholas+Michael+Teausant+FB-450x321.jpg" width="315" height="225" /></a>A federal grand jury has <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/2014/03/26/6271828/san-joaquin-county-man-indicted.html">indicted Nicholas Michael Teausant</a> for attempting to support a foreign terrorist organization. In recent months, “Assad Teausant bigolsmurf,” as he called himself online, discussed his desire to train Syrian fighters, bomb the Los Angeles subway system and launch a civil war that would topple the American government.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Teausant, 20, is a student at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California, but Taj Khan, a college board member, told reporters that Teausant was not known to Muslim American students there. Some may have regarded him as an FBI informer.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Teausant was also a member of the National Guard, assigned to the 118th Maintenance Company in Stockton. The Guard recently released Teausant reportedly because he lacked minimum qualifications. The Muslim convert had little military experience but gathered information on bomb making and jihad tactics from the English-language al-Qaida magazine </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Inspire</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Teausant wanted to join the ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which the indictment explains is the new name of an organization under the control of al-Qaida, a foreign terrorist organization. Teausant said “I would love to join Allah’s army” and “I want to go fight in Syria.” He would only return to America after President Obama was dead, Congress gone, and chaos prevailing across the nation. Teausant offered to make a video for the ISIS and leave his face “wide open to the camera.” He wanted to be a “commander” and if he landed on the FBI’s 12 most wanted list “that means I’m doing something right.” The aspiring terrorist was unaware that the</span></p>
<p><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.sacbee.com/2014/03/17/6244452/acampo-man-arrested-on-terrorist.html">FBI had been on to him for months.</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">“Assad” planned to reach Syria by flying from Canada but FBI agents arrested him on March 16 in Blaine, Washington, near the Canadian border. A Seattle magistrate returned Teausant to Sacramento where he faces a maximum penalty of 15 years.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The case drew no comment from Mohamed Abdul Aziz, leader of the </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2012/lloyd-billingsley/fbi-to-honor-cair-linked-group/">Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> (SALAM) Islamic Center and frequently interviewed in the local press. The SALAM center co-hosts events with CAIR and in 2009 Abdul Aziz was the recipient of the FBI’s community service award “for preventing violence, creating understanding, bringing people together.”</span></p>
<p>If convicted Teausant would join Hamid Hayat of Lodi, California, now serving 24 years for providing material support to terrorism. Hayat was born in the United States but spent half his life in Pakistan where he attended terrorist training camps. Last year the <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/lloyd-billingsley/hayat-terror-conviction-upheld/">Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Hayat’s conviction</a>. His father, Umer Hayat, also of Lodi, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in a different case and served 11 months.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The Teausant case confirms that California continues to serve as a farm team of sorts for foreign terrorist organizations. </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/walker/profile.html">John Walker Lindh</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> converted to Islam at 16 after seeing the movie </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Malcolm X</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. Lindh lived in northern California and attended mosques in Mill Valley and San Francisco. The Redwood High School student learned Arabic in Yemen and studied at a madrassa in Pakistan before decamping for Afghanistan to fight with the Taliban.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In 2001 U.S. troops in Afghanistan captured Lindh and in 2002 he pleaded guilty to supplying services and transporting explosives for the Taliban government. The “American Taliban,” as he became known, was sentenced to 20 years in a high-security federal prison in Terre Haute Indiana. Last year a judge ruled that Lindh must be allowed to pray daily in a group with other Muslim inmates. In 2019 he gains eligibility for release.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In northern California and elsewhere the FBI appears to be taking all terrorist threats seriously. Meanwhile, the Bureau has also kept busy on sting operations against corrupt state politicians.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">On March 26 FBI agents raided the Sacramento offices of </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.sacbee.com/2014/03/26/6271916/fbi-california-sen-leland-yee.html">state senator Leland Yee, San Francisco Democrat</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, who faces seven charges of corruption and firearms trafficking. Among the 26 people charged is Yee’s former political consultant Keith Jackson, who served on the board of the San Francisco Unified School District. Jackson was indicted on charges of murder-for-hire and drug trafficking. Yee, a candidate for Secretary of State, could face 20 years in federal prison. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Last year the FBI raided the Sacramento offices of senator Ron Calderon, a Montebello Democrat who faces corruption charges. A Los Angeles jury recently found California state senator Rod Wright, a Baldwin Hills Democrat, guilty of voter fraud and perjury.</span></p>
