<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOn Monday we wrote about Nicholas Teausant<\/a>, the fellow who thought he’d make a good terrorist as a student at notorious San Joaquin Delta College and a failed National Guardsman. More information is coming out about him now and it seems our initial analysis was correct. We speculated that he had never been to basic training, and the Lodi News<\/a> report bears that out;<\/p>\n According to a criminal complaint filed by federal authorities, Teausant was a member of the National Guard who is being discharged for failing to meet basic academic requirements.<\/p>\n Teausant enlisted in the California National Guard in April 2012, Capt. Will Martin said. Martin added that Teausant enlisted with the understanding he would complete basic educational credits required to attend basic training.<\/p>\n Martin said Teausant never completed those requirements.<\/p>\n \u201cBasically he didn\u2019t fulfill his end of the bargain,\u201d Martin said. \u201cSo we were in the process of discharging him when he was arrested.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In another Lodi News report<\/a>, he had high expectations for his future with the al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq;<\/p>\n Teausant said that his desire was to be a \u201ccommander … in front of every single newspaper in the country,\u201d and on the FBI\u2019s top 12 most wanted, \u201cbecause that means I\u2019m doing something right,\u201d the complaint said.<\/p>\n On March 7, during a meeting at a park in Stockton, the informant\u2019s \u201cmentor\u201d \u2014 who was actually an undercover law enforcement officer \u2014 granted Teausant permission to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and instructed Teausant to purchase flight tickets, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n The following day, Teausant told the informant he needed to sell his laptop in order to use the money for a ticket. The informant arranged for Teausant to sell it to a \u201cfriend,\u201d who was an FBI special agent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Who knew the FBI needed cheap used computers? The kid was unbalanced and had an over-inflated opinion of himself. He figured that he could teach the al Qaeda folks how to shoot better based on his wearing a uniform a few days every month. I’ve been entertaining myself with the criminal complaint against him all morning. Here it is (in .pdf)<\/a> for your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n Thanks to Carolyn for the mountain of links she sent us this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
