We don’t have to stop living
We don’t have to live in FEAR
But it’s now risky with all the possible threats
to attend Major Public Events now.
Hel’s Bell’s I don’t even go to the public Movie’s anymore.
I am up to date on most of the latest flicks w/ Blu-ray, plus plus
I can watch them over and over again in the comforts of my own home.
I’ve never lived in FEAR, but I have tried to use caution operating in my life.
This should get better but right now? It’s a duckin’ mess and I’m not tempting fate
just to see some fireworks, a movie or Concert.

Not yet. It’s not a foregone conclusion that this is related to the Iran operation, just an educated guess. (Detroit is chock full of muslims, this is a Christian church and it happened the day after the operation.)

If the sleeper cells get activated, I do not think we have to worry about the 4th of July parade in smalltown USA. We would be attacked in a greater way than that. There may be wackos taking their own action, but the idea of sleeper cells is to cripple the country and not just aggravate them.
You would have to think bigger than 9-11. To activate a sleeper cell the results would have to be devastating to the structure of the country.
They will most likely attack military bases than have sleeper cells.

United States officials are sounding the alarm regarding the threat of terror-backed sleeper cells within the country just hours after President Donald Trump successfully ordered the elimination of key nuclear facilities within Iran.
Just hours after Trump addressed the nation on U.S. military strikes on the Iranian nuclear sites, the DHS released a new memo sounding the alarm to a “heightened threat environment in the United States.”
The bulletin from the National Terrorism Advisory System did not cite any specific threats but comes as Iranian officials have threatened retaliation.
With the regime’s nuclear program severely set back, and its infrastructure bombarded during Israel’s operation, one former FBI boss told Fox News Digital that Iran and its proxies could resort to their original tactic – terrorism. And the border crisis under the Biden administration only exacerbates the threat of terror cells in the U.S. activating to harm Americans at home.
“The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if the Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland,” the bulletin states.
“It is our duty to keep the nation safe and informed, especially during times of conflict,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict brings the possibility of increased threat to the homeland in the form of possible cyberattacks, acts of violence, and antisemitic hate crimes.”
The bulletin points to law enforcement within the U.S. disrupting “multiple potentially lethal Iranian-backed plots” since 2020, while noting the Iranian government’s unsuccessful attempts to target critics of its regime.

Iran previously vowed to retaliate if the U.S. became involved in Israel’s attack, which began after Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian military and nuclear facilities on June 13. Prior to the attack, Trump issued a warningto Iran against retaliating, while encouraging the country’s leaders to come to a peace deal with Israel. Immediately following the strikes, Trump vowed to target additional sites within Iran “if peace does not come quickly.”
The advisory comes after Trump ordered military strikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities in what officials are calling “Operation Midnight Hammer,” prompting law enforcement to be on high alert regarding the threat of foreign adversary operatives conducting an attack on U.S. soil, with thousands of Iranian nationals previously crossing over the border.
“Because of the open borders, we are at a serious catch-up phase” Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker told Fox News Digital. “We don’t know where those thousand Iranians are and who knows how many others got across the border. We missed an opportunity when they caught and released those thousand. We missed the opportunity to gather intel by interviewing them and thoroughly vetting them. We just simply let them go, which is gross negligence on the part of the Biden administration.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Over 1,200 Iranian nationals reportedly entered the U.S. during former President Joe Biden’s time in office, White House border czar Tom Homan told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” The threat of foreign nationals flowing into the U.S. raises concerns regarding possible domestic sleeper cells driven by foreign terrorist organizations, according to national security experts.
“The challenge that the United States has had after a very long period of time, [is that] we had an open border,” Michael Balboni, former Homeland Security advisor for New York state and a cybersecurity expert, told Fox News Digital. “Tens of millions of people came across and we don’t know who they are, where they came from, what their capabilities are or their intentions.”
Swecker indicated the FBI has primarily focused its attention on homegrown attackers as foreign adversaries flowed into the country.
“There’s a certain population of Iranians in the U.S. that we know about, but there’s thousands and thousands that we don’t know about because of the open border situation,” Swecker said. “The Bureau was concentrating their resources on so-called domestic terrorists like white supremacists and right-wing extremists, and calling them the most serious terrorist threat to this country when it was absolutely the international terrorists that should have been the focus of the bureau’s efforts.”
The FBI declined Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The possibility of foreign cells carrying out a domestic terror plot was pushed into the national spotlight last year after federal prosecutors announced a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and two U.S.-nationals were arrested for allegedly plotting to murder then-President-elect Trump and a U.S. citizen critical of the Iranian regime.
“The Iranians have shown a pretty good capability in terms of their intelligence apparatus and their operatives being able to work clandestinely,” Balboni said. “They are fairly sophisticated when it comes to that, very determined. The question is how many are in the country and the answer is we don’t know.”
The U.S. possesses a wide range of attractive targets, with national security concerns spiking after Trump ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020.
“They’re not going to quit,” Swecker said. “They will never quit. And this was the right thing to do to take out their nuclear capabilities.”
Additionally, critical infrastructure within major cities remains a prime spot for cells to carry out destructive terror plots, with Iranian officials likely turning to proxy groups to sow fear within the population.
“Electrical grids, perhaps medical facilities, transportation hubs,” Balboni said. “Those types of things that have been a part of the playbook when you have these insurgencies that happened within the nation.”
Balboni points to instances of terror cells conducting pre-operational surveillance within the U.S., adding satellite mapping websites provide adversaries with a birds-eye view of key infrastructure.
“Law enforcement and security personnel are really focused now on trying to prevent anything from happening,” Balboni told Fox News Digital. “But the problem is if you’ve had tens of millions of people come across the border, you really don’t know where they are and what their capabilities are.”
As tensions between the Middle East and the U.S. continue to spiral toward a breaking point, the National Terrorism Advisory System warns of U.S.-based individuals “plotting additional attacks” against pro-Israel targets, and U.S. government and military officials.
“This is a time for calm, professionalism, information sharing and heightened awareness,” Balboni said. “This will not be the first time we face a challenge like this. But certainly because of the hostilities, there is a heightened fear, concern and awareness that these types of attacks could happen in the United States.”

I have zero concern over sleeper cells, my major concern are the lone wolfs who will show up and will attempt to kill people. Sleeper cells are going to be a super small minority of possible threats, while lone wolfs are going to include individuals who have no direct connection to Iran.

It’s a shame. Iran could be a prosperous country, instead the Mullah is hellbent on wiping Israel out and continuous war on western values. Therefore, their people instead suffer the consequences of their so called “leaders” bad decisions.

Easy way to spot a friend from foe when it comes to Iranians, is an Iranian who loves the United States and wants to be here will call themselves a Persian. Iranians who hate the United States and want to convert the West to Islam will call themselves Iranians, or Muslims.

I see the individual more of a problem in the beginning trying to prove a point to be the first. But what also may be an issue will be the militias from deep deep in the mountains (dem kinds) building up steam believing the cells are coming. Just need to keep the swivel lubed. And extra popcorn for the entertainment.
