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... ,

There is danger all over the world, and in all of our communities. You face it, or lose your freedom. What were we supposed to do, let this murderer get away with yet again causing the loss of life? How in the world did we get to the point at which a country we lost lives and spent treasure in, Iraq, has terrorists from Iran landing at their main airport and directing attacks?

Yawn. A state sponsored or even terror network would be pulverized if this were to happen. I see how those love to fantasize the soft target scenario and the evil doers. America still has a robust security backbone to protect America so thus this has not happened thus far from Iran,ISIS or anyone else since 9/11 with few exceptions.

Do they think that would cost Trump the 2020 election? The end justifies the means.

Solomani was supposed to utter the words, “It’s 2020!”

But he can’t do it now, and he forgot to pass it on to his successor because he believed he was unkillable. So, the sleeper agents are still watching reruns of Seinfeld waiting for their phones to ring.

Oh my God.

Killing terrorists is so wrong. What is wrong with Trump.

The most likely target cities are all run by uber leftists. They do not grant concealed carry permits to deplorables.

I understand from friends in LE that the feds have quietly been eliminating sleeper cells for years. They keep it quiet. But I suspect there are some undetected cells who will make a more.

Probably not related but border agents have often found Koran books in the garbage discarded at the border.

Always wonder why immigrants from Peru or Guatemala would learn Arabic and Farsi in order to read them.

But the ones who did toss them aside are now inside the United States——somewhere.

WWI Ambassador to Germany James Gerard once said in a speech:

"The Foreign Minister of Germany once said to me 'your country does not dare do anything against Germany, because we have in your country five hundred thousand Germans reservists [emigrants] who will rise in arms against your government if you dare to make a move against Germany.' Well, I told him that that might be so, but that we had five hundred thousand – and one – lamp posts in this country, and that that was where the reservists would be hanging the day after they tried to rise."

“...since Khomeini overthrew the Shah.”

Didn’t Jimmah Catah depose the Shah? Then the hostages were taken? And somewhere in there he also illegally gave away the Panama Canal paving the way for a chicom takeover.
