Will Qassem Soleimani’s Death Activate Sleeper Cells In America?
Yahoo News/Reuters ^ | 1-5-2020

Posted on 01/05/2020 5:44:51 PM PST by blam

For more than a decade, Hezbollah and therefore Iran have maintained “sleeper agents” in America who await only a coded signal to commit mass murder and wreak maximum chaos.

“There would be certain scenarios that would require action or conduct by those who belonged to the cell,” one of three sleeper agents arrested by the FBI since 2017 is quoted saying in court papers.

The sleeper agent, Ali Kourani, told the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force that he would have expected to be activated if Iran and the United States went to war.

“The unit is Iranian controlled,” Kourani said.

Other precipitating events would include major U.S. military action against Hezbollah or its Iranian overseers.

“In those scenarios the sleeper cell would also be triggered into action,” Kourani said.

That would certainly seem to include an airstrike killing Iran’s most prominent military figure, General Qassem Soleimani.

In the aftermath of that startling action, a senior U.S. intelligence official said that if the Iranians remain rational they will refrain from mounting an attack on the American homeland for fear of sparking a war they cannot possibly win. He noted in the next breath that emotions are no doubt running high in Tehran.

“If you remove the rational thinking…” he said.

The official figured that Kourani and a second sleeper agent named Samer El Debek had almost certainly been replaced after they were arrested on the same day in different cities in 2017. The third, Alexei Saab, who was arrested in July of 2019, had already been in place for years but was unaware of the other two.

“There could be sleeper cells all over the place,” the official said.

And they are presumably under orders, just as Kourani was in the Bronx, El Debek was in Dearborn, Michigan... ,

America should never have allowed any Muslims into the country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amen.

Islam is completely incompatible with western civilization.

Activated sleepers in Congress also include Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Murphy, Green, Warren, Sanders, etc.

Nothing much has changed, really. The Iranians have turned the volume up from 10 to 11 but it’s the same crappy song. Stay armed, stay safe. “If you have to shoot, shoot, don’ talk.”

There are 16 to 18 million concealed carry permit holders within the USA. That is somewhere between 4 to 9 percent of the general population and much higher if you exclude felons in prison and youth and the elderly in assisted living.

So Iranian terror cells have something to consider in addition to local police stopping any kind of attack.

May they quickly meet their virgins and not kill anyone but themselves.

I hope so. Something needs to happen so the might of armed private citizens can be demonstrated.

Blowing up a few innocent people is not a response from a “Powerful” country. It’s weak and chicken and won’t gain the Iranians any favor from anyone. And they’d still risk Trump sending their country along with it’s infrastructure back 10 years not to mention more surgical assassinations of the top players.

Were we supposed to bow like bitches for the rest of time because there are sleeper cells here?

If it will obliterate Iran, It’d be worth my getting whacked by them in NYC

Yes. “Sleeper cells” just waiting to spread havoc is a nice meme for paperback thrillers. Jack Ryan and all that. Let’s see what reality holds.

Obama PROTECTED that Iranian general from execution, once.

Report: U.S. Gives Israel Green Light to Assassinate Iranian General Soleimani
Al Jarida, a Kuwaiti newspaper which in recent years had broken exclusive stories from Israel, says Israel was ‘on the verge’ of assassinating Soleimani, but the U.S. warned Tehran and thwarted the operation

First sign would be when all the liquor stores, convenience stores, rug stores, and mattress stores suddenly close...

They will be on the march... A very short march, I believe... Yamamoto's comments about what is behind every blade of grass in America will catch all those ragheads in the open...

I am less worried about the Iranians than I am of the Deep State arranging a “false flag” operation to provoke a war that their allies in the Democratic Party and the MSM will blame on Trump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree. The enemy within is what is going to take us down!!!

What’s the first thing an operative in Iranian sleeper cell training learns?

The meaning of a decal of a revolver in a red circle with a diagonal red slash through it.

So the left is saying that it’s a given that Iran has terrorist sleeper cells in America while simultaneously saying that Trump is wrong for killing an Iranian terrorist.

I think I see a bigger enemy than the Iranian regime.

I know people are lulled to sleep hearing about “sleeper agents” that never do anything, but listen: something BIG is going to happen January 20th. I have my source, and he has the intel.

I made my cat mad the other day, so he attacked me. Scratched my arm a bit. This is roughly equivalent to the damage Iran can do to the U.S.

I didn’t retaliate against my cat because he’s really a sweet cat most of the time. Don’t think President Trump has a cat.
