Terrorist Sleeper Cells in America: A Threat to Our National Security
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone likes the United States. Given what has been occurring in our country, especially over the past 3+ years, many American citizens believe their own government is not acting in the best interest of the country nor to the republic for which it stands.
One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. My fellow Warriors, they are trying to divide us.
The Plan for Three World Wars
This has been the plan for over one hundred years:
A divided nation is an easily controllable nation. A nation’s citizens who cannot defend themselves against foreign & domestic tyranny will find themselves in a society devoid of rights & civil liberties. The events that took place on September 11, 2001, resulted in the loss of civil liberties (which still haven’t returned) via the Patriot Act & the commencement of a war that lasted decades.
The Origins of Sleeper Cells
The United States has offered a home to thousands of refugees seeking political & religious asylum for decades. Many have immigrated legally & have been productive contributors to our nation. What happens when America’s borders are left wide open & everyone is allowed to enter, unchecked, undocumented, & actually funded to be here?
More than 2.8 million migrants have had encounters with authorities so far this fiscal year, compared to more than 2.7 million migrants in 2022, according to the latest Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics. The current migrant figure includes August, but not September, the last month of this fiscal year, which has yet to be announced.
So we are talking about more than 5.5 MILLION migrants in less than two years. Most of which are military-age men. Of the 5.5 million migrants, how many do you believe may be sleeper cells among us?
"Absolutely," Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital this week when asked if the Hamas attack on Israel serves as a warning that the southern border with Mexico is not secure and is vulnerable to national security threats.
"Particularly the 1.7 million known ‘gotaways,' those who evaded the Border Patrol because they didn't want to be fingerprinted because they're either known or suspected terrorists themselves, convicted aggravated felons, smuggling drugs or some combination thereof.
"So, when you combine 1.7 million with the 7.4 million CBP has encountered, we have to assume that the sleeper cells of terrorists are here inside the U.S., and Congress needs to wake up and preempt."
Ries, who has over 26 years experience in the immigration and homeland security field and served as DHS acting deputy chief of staff, told Fox News Digital she is concerned about sleeper cells in the U.S. "waking up."
"And already with the Hamas, pro-Hamas protests in the U.S. this week in New York City and elsewhere. That was a very public signal to say, 'Yes, we're here.' And if the U.S. acts to support Israel in the Middle East then there will be a response here," Ries said.
"They don't need to fly in on their Mad Max devices like they did this past weekend in Israel," Ries added. "They're already here." Fox News
There are sleeper cells of all different nationalities in the United States. It just depends on which ones will be called to action & when.
Awaiting Orders
They’ve been waiting for the United States to attack Iran:
Kourani went on to describe himself to the FBI as being part of a “sleeper cell,” and explained, “There would be certain scenarios that would require action or conduct by those who belonged to the cell.” Kourani said that in the event that the United States and Iran went to war, the U.S. sleeper cell would expect to be called upon to act. And if the United States were to take certain unnamed actions targeting Hezbollah, Nasrallah himself, or Iranian interests, Kourani added, “in those scenarios the sleeper cell would also be triggered into action.” Washington Institute

This week, Americans have witnessed pro-Palestinian rallies in major cities such as Dearborn, Michigan & New York City, New York. New York City is on high alert with good reason.
"Given the situation unfolding in Israel, we have surged resources to sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution and to ensure that all New Yorkers stay safe," the spokesperson added.
We remain in constant contact with our federal, state, and local partners, to include the NYPD, and our community partners," it also said. "While we don’t have specific and credible intelligence indicating a threat to our city, we encourage the public to remain vigilant." Fox News
I would say given the various warnings by Hezbollah & Hamas leaders, the threats to Americans are very credible.
DOHA, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal called for protests across the Muslim world on Friday in support of the Palestinians and for the peoples of neighbouring countries to join the fight against Israel.
"[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday," Meshaal, who currently heads Hamas's diaspora office, said in a recorded statement sent to Reuters.
Meshaal, who is based in Qatar, said the governments and peoples of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt have a bigger duty to support the Palestinians. Reuters
U.S. Military Bases at Risk
Threats to U.S. military bases have also been forthcoming:
The leader of a prominent Iranian-backed militia in Iraq threatens to attack American bases in retaliation if the United States intervenes in the war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.
“Our missiles, drones, and special forces are ready to direct qualitative strikes at the American enemy in its bases and disrupt its interests if it intervenes in this battle,” Ahmad “Abu Hussein” al-Hamidawi, head of the Kataib Hezbollah militia, says in a statement. He also threatened to launch missiles at Israeli targets. Times of Israel
Bombing Threats by U.S. Politicians
When you have United States politicians such as Senator Lindsay Graham openly saying “I stand with Israel. do whatever you have to do to defend yourself. Level the place (referring to Gaza).” What do you think is going to happen?
Sen. Graham, known for calling for war with Iran over the last decade, likewise called for targeted airstrikes against Iranian infrastructure for every American hostage killed by Hamas.
“For every Israeli or American hostage executed by Hamas, we should take down an Iranian oil refinery. The only way you’re going to keep this war from escalating is to hold Iran accountable,” Graham told Fox News on Monday.
Former representative Liz Cheney jumped in on the bandwagon.
One should be very concerned when the people making the decisions rarely have to face the consequences of their decisions. Those who declare war or call for revenge, are rarely the people on the front lines. Just like those calling for net-zero carbon emissions are flying around in their own private jets & attending ultra lavish parties at the ski resorts in Davos.
Just because all that ‘war stuff’ is happening ‘over there’…for now, we must not be complacent.
Terrorist Activity Warning Signs:
Here are some signs to look for when terrorist activity is brewing:
Surveillance: Terrorists often observe their targets for extended periods of time, taking photos or videos, drawing diagrams, or making notes. They may also try to learn about the target's security procedures and vulnerabilities.
Suspicious activity: This could include people acting furtively or suspiciously, avoiding eye contact, or departing quickly when seen or approached. It could also include people in places they don't belong, or vehicles that are overloaded or have unusual odors.
Suspicious transactions: Terrorists often need to raise money to fund their activities. This could involve large cash payments, deposits, or withdrawals, or collections for donations in peculiar ways.
Acquiring weapons and materials: Terrorists may try to acquire explosives, weapons, ammunition, or other materials that could be used in an attack. They may also try to obtain uniforms, badges, or other items that would allow them to blend in or gain access to secure areas.
Changes in behavior: Some people who become involved in terrorism may experience changes in their behavior, such as becoming withdrawn, isolated, or aggressive. They may also become more interested in extremist ideology or propaganda.
The above are signs are important to look out potential terrorist activity but also keep in mind these cues may also be used as reasons to take away more of your civil liberties by government authorities. There is a fine line here. Remember the would-have-been ‘shoe bomber’ is still the reason why most of us still have to take off our shoes at airports. What can my fellow Warriors do to protect themselves?
Tips for Staying Safe and Vigilant Against Terrorism:
Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to people and activities that seem out of place.
If you see something suspicious, report it to the authorities immediately.
Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
Be prepared to evacuate in the event of an emergency.
Stay away from major cities & military bases if possible when civil unrest is brewing
Be armed & ready to defend yourself/your loved ones at all times
I want to be clear to my fellow Warriors that I am against war & the killing of innocent civilians. I will not ‘pick-a-side’ whether it is Ukraine, Russia, Israel, or Palestine, we need to call for world peace. I am an American citizen who believes the borders of the United States should be secure, our natural resources should be protected, our economy should be prosperous, & our manufacturing base be strong. As an American, I believe our ‘leaders’ should put America first. If they aren’t going to do it, it is up to us to protect our life, liberty, & pursuit of happiness. Let us be united in strength.
Until next time my fellow Warriors, stay informed, stay vigilant, Ever Forward!
