Calif Jihad? San Bernardino Suspects Linked to Islamist’s Conviction? +Video
By Jim Kouri / ConservativeBase.com
A bloody attack on innocent civilians in California that left dozens dead or wounded is suspected by some to be linked to the conviction of a California National Guard member who was convicted of a terrorism-connected crime in federal court. That suspect was caught through the monitoring of social media websites.
Allegedly two gunmen and one gunwoman burst into a Christmas holiday party at the offices of a social services agency with guns blazing leaving 14 people dead and 17 others wounded then fled the building located in San Bernadino, California, on Wednesday. The murder spree led to an intense police dragnet for the suspects who witnesses said escaped in a black sports utility vehicle. According to former Los Angeles police detective Peter Webley, eventually two suspects were killed — one male and one female — by police in an intense shootout. A third person, Sayed Farooq, was seen running away from the scene of the shootout, and he was captured is being detained and questioned by special agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Webley said that reports of the suspects wearing military camouflage were untrue, and they were in fact wearing dark, police-style overalls with body armor and their weapons were not military rifles but semi-automatic rifles and handguns. .
Several police sources claim there may be a connection between Wednesday’s shootings and the conviction on Tuesday of another California terrorism suspect who is facing up to 20-years in federal prison.
Nicholas Michael Teausant of Acampo, California, pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2015, for his attempt to provide material support or resources to a group list by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization, according to Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin. Carlin heads the National Security Division at the Justice Department.
According to Carlin’s statement: Teausant was arrested trying to enter Canada on March 17, 2014, and planning to travel from Canada to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Nine days later, the 22-year-old Teausant was indicted by a grand jury on one count of attempting to provide material support or resources to a terrorist organization. Surprisingly, the wannabe jihadist entered a guilty plea to the single count in the indictment without so much as a plea agreement in place..
“Nicholas Michael Teausant attempted to travel overseas to join ISIL and to provide material support to the terrorist organization,” said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. “The National Security Division’s highest priority is counterterrorism, and we are committed to stemming the flow of foreign fighters abroad and holding accountable those who attempt to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations.”
“This case, like others in communities across the United States and around the world, is an example of how a young person from any place and any background might make the terrible decision to try and become part of a terrorist organization,” said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner of California’s Eastern District near San Francisco.
California appears to be a state that’s starting to attract homegrown Islamists.
“Fortunately, the FBI intervened in this case before any harm could be inflicted upon innocent persons. We hope that this case will be a reminder to us all to stay vigilant and involved in the lives of our youth, and in particular with respect to the dangerous influences they may be subject to on the Internet where these organizations are very active,” Wagner said on Tuesday.
What made Teausant a valuable asset to ISIS was his being a member of the California National Guard. However, the federal government claims Teausant’s National Guard “training was minimal,” and “due to his lack of required academic credits, he never attended basic training,” the complaint alleged. He was in the process of being released by the National Guard, but he has not yet been officially released and remains a reservist with the rank of “private,” according to the complaint.
Teausant is scheduled for sentencing in front of Judge John A. Mendez of the U.S. Eastern District of California on March 8, 2016.

Who is San Bernardino Shooting Suspect Syed Farook. Details are emerging about one of the suspects behind today’s deadly shooting in San Bernardino, CA that left at least 14 dead and 17 injured, including one police officer. NBC News reported earlier tonight that Syed Farook was one of the suspects in the rampage at the Inland Regional Center.
Farook’s father reportedly told The Daily News, “I haven’t heard anything. He worked in a county office… He’s married and has a kid. We’re estranged because my wife got the divorce, and they are together. She doesn’t want to see me.”
Farook’s father continued telling The Daily News that he had not spoken to his estranged son in some time, adding, “He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”
Farook reportedly worked as a health technician in the San Bernardino area. His father revealed that Farook worked as an inspector for restaurants and hotels.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan confirmed earlier that two suspects were killed in a shootout with local police this afternoon on East San Bernardino Avenue near Mountain View Avenue after the suspects’ vehicle was spotted by law enforcement and followed.
FBI agent David Bowdich confirmed at an earlier press conference that authorities are investigating the “possibility” of a link to international terrorism.
Law enforcement confirmed to the media that assault-style weapons were used and that the suspects were “dressed and equipped” in black clothing and tactical gear.
SWAT vehicles pin black SUV in San Bernardino amid manhunt for mass shooting gunmen. 14 dead in San Bernardino shooting; police have shot suspect connected to chase of black SUV. As many as three assailants attacked a gathering inside a San Bernardino office building Wednesday morning, killing at least 14 people and wounding 17 others, according to law enforcement officials.
The shooters, who carried long guns and wore masks and camouflage clothing, opened fire on a holiday party being held by county employees, federal law enforcement sources and a witness told the Los Angeles Times.
The shooting took place in a large conference room on the grounds of the Inland Regional Center, which serves people with developmental disabilities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
A black sport-utility vehicle was seen fleeing from the office complex where the shooting occurred. Shortly before 3 p.m., police began pursuing a black sport-utility vehicle in San Bernardino, though it was not immediately clear if the car chase was linked to the attack.
Authorities confirmed that a suspect had been shot in connection with the car chase but it remained unclear if the pursuit was linked to the attack.
TV footage showed dozens of heavily armed police officers approaching the SUV, and officers in tactical gear could be seen stalking through a San Bernardino neighborhood.
Marybeth Feild, the center’s board president and CEO, said the San Bernardino County Public Health Department rented the conference room and they were hosting a banquet.
The room, which holds as many as 200 people, was decorated for a holiday party, according to Feild.
The motive for the attack remains unclear.
“Is this a terrorist incident? We do not know,” said David Bowdich, the assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. The San Bernardino Fire Department said the shooting took place in the 1300 block of Waterman Avenue, near Orange Show Road.
Hundreds of people were on the grounds at the time of the attack, Burguan said.

/conspiracy-theories/2015/12/road-to-ww3-time-to-take-another-look-at-the-un-agenda-2030-2472762.html
Yep. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he’s like a Hitler making a damn speech practically every single damn day pushing the agenda.
So should we kick the muslims out or stop bombing them on the other side of the world or, well err ban guns so no one can defend themselves from these terrorists like was the case in Paris.
The government wants your guns and will any means they can to get them
Easy answer, yes kick em the hell out, yes, bomb them into extinction, no more gun bans, lift the ones in place and arm up like it is WWIII because it bloody well is.
