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

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... ,

"Will Qassem Soleimani’s Death Activate Sleeper Cells In America?"

It appears that Iranian leaders are too addicted to and psychologically controlled by American politics and propaganda to take any real action on U.S. soil.

There were astroturf activists on campus (I was in college at the time) doing what astroturf a-holes do, with printed signs on handles, a megaphone jihadist telling the washed up, old-left, fat-assed idiots what to repeat as they circled, and a tape that was circulating (I actually heard it before it wound up broadcast somewhere and everywhere) that purported to be a recording of a stormy Iranian cabinet meeting wherein the Shah wanted to fight and whether a crackdown would be a good idea (obviously it was a fake piece of agitprop).
Zbig wanted the Shah to crack down, but the POS Carter and POS Mondale were agreed, let the Shah be overthrown, y'know, because, **** Iran, **** the Middle East, and **** America.
The overthrow was probably arranged by the purveyors of worldwide jihad -- they have resources, arms, training, money, and recognize no national boundaries, IOW, the USSR and its then-allies. All across Iran the jihadists attacked police stations, roadblocks, border patrols, government facilities of all kinds, and the it was orchestrated, simulataneous, nationwide.

Unless they’ve got a nuke (a la Sum of All Fears), Iran is going to pay a brutal price for any attacks they carry out in the US.

We have a shit ton of missiles and they have critical infrastructure that we can and will decimate, and they will never recover. Israel has dozens of agents inside to guide us - a huge advantage.

My thoughts too - better frisk them before allowing them anywhere near the WH/Oval Office...

Why would a Muslim throw his Quran in the trash? It’s allowed in the USA.

The several they found each year were discarded to keep from blowing the terrorists' cover.

Current Chinese spies wouldn't put up a portrait of or Xi in their American IT office cubicles or study Mao on their lunch hour.

These terrorists tried to be just another dark bearded guy in his mid twenties. Asked somewhere about speaking English , a weak smile and shrug of shoulders. Then on to the safe house or mosque.
