"Sleeper Cells" in America?

There are no red cities.
There are no blue cities either. Calling a city blue or red because of the mayor ignores the fact that a democratic mayor might have a Republican majority on the city council. The mayor is only one vote on the city council. Using the per capita logic, the most dangerous places to live are "red" run small cities or towns.
 
Yep. This is what I am talking about when I say that neither Trump nor the MAGATS have studied the opposition they are now up against. Nobody is safe in America because of what Trump has done.
Make that Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., OBama, Trump, Biden, & Trump again, & I'll fully Agree.
 
Thanks to Biden & Co. We no longer know who is in our country. An attack here in America is, in my opinion, very likely.

We only complained about it for the last 6 years. Any terrorist attack on us will be laid at the feet of the Democrats.

^^^ That.
 
"European officials share the concern. German lawmaker Marc Henrichmann told Sueddeutsche Zeitung that Iran has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to conduct operations beyond its borders and that retaliatory attacks inside Western nations "cannot be ruled out." That is diplomatic language for a deeply unsettling reality: Western intelligence agencies are bracing for impact.

Recent unrest abroad underscores the regime's reach. In Karachi, Pakistan, a mob of pro-Iran demonstrators stormed a U.S. consulate, vandalizing property and setting fires. Violent protests like these serve two purposes: they signal ideological loyalty and test how quickly crowds can be mobilized when tensions escalate. What looks spontaneous is often anything but.

The Border Question No One Wants to Address

If sleeper operatives already exist in the West, how did they get there? Critics argue that years of porous migration controls in parts of Europe and North America have increased vulnerability to infiltration. While most migrants seek safety or opportunity, hostile regimes need only a handful of determined operatives to exploit gaps. Intelligence services have repeatedly warned that adversarial states study immigration systems carefully, looking for bureaucratic blind spots.

The United States, home to millions of immigrants from across the world--including roughly 2.5 million Shiite Muslims--faces a delicate balancing act: maintaining openness while preventing exploitation. The risk is not the community itself; it is the possibility that a tiny fraction could be coerced, recruited, or radicalized. Two Iranian expatriates in London previously described being pressured during visits back to Iran to perform tasks for the regime, sometimes after authorities temporarily confiscated passports. Such tactics illustrate how intelligence recruitment can occur quietly and coercively.
Lone Wolves: The Hardest Threat to Stop

Even more alarming than sleeper cells are self-radicalized individuals who act without direct orders. Lone-wolf attackers require no network, no funding pipeline, and no logistical chain. All they need is motivation--and geopolitical crises can supply that instantly.

That danger came into sharp focus this week in Austin, Texas, where a gunman opened fire inside a crowded bar, killing two and wounding 14 before police shot him. Investigators say the attacker, identified as a former New York resident originally from Senegal, may have been motivated by U.S. strikes against Iran. Reports indicate he wore a shirt reading "Property of Allah," possessed a Quran in his vehicle, and allegedly kept images of Iranian leaders and symbols at home. Authorities are examining whether ideological sympathy--not operational direction--drove the violence.

That distinction matters. A centrally coordinated plot can sometimes be intercepted through surveillance or informants. A lone sympathizer radicalized online or through propaganda leaves almost no trail until the moment of attack. That is why counterterrorism experts increasingly view decentralized violence as the defining security challenge of this era.

A Strategy of Asymmetric Revenge

Iran's leadership has long relied on asymmetric tactics--leveraging groups such as Hezbollah and the Houthis rather than confronting adversaries head-on. Activating sympathizers abroad fits perfectly within that doctrine. It allows Tehran to retaliate without triggering full-scale war, while still inflicting psychological and political damage.

Iran's foreign ministry has already warned that consequences for Khamenei's death will "extend to the world." That statement should not be dismissed as rhetoric. It is consistent with decades of precedent showing that the regime views global reach as a strategic asset, not a last resort.


America on Alert

The FBI has reportedly elevated counterterrorism readiness nationwide, reflecting concern that retaliation could occur on American soil. Such alerts are not issued lightly. They signal credible intelligence indicating heightened risk, even if specifics remain classified.

History shows that moments of geopolitical shock often produce ripple effects far from the battlefield. Assassinations, airstrikes, and regime crises rarely stay contained within national borders. Instead, they reverberate through diaspora communities, ideological networks, and digital spaces where grievances can be amplified and weaponized.

The Real Battlefield Is Psychological

What makes sleeper cells and lone wolves uniquely dangerous is not just their capacity for violence--it is their ability to instill fear. A single attack can alter public perception, polarize societies, and pressure governments into reactive policies. In that sense, the strategic objective is not merely casualties but destabilization.

The West now faces a sobering question: are we prepared for a conflict that may unfold not on distant front lines, but in our own cities, restaurants, and streets?

The answer will depend on vigilance, intelligence cooperation, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths about modern security. Because if history has taught us anything, it is this: wars no longer need armies to cross borders. Sometimes, the battlefield is already inside them."

Every U.S. president since World War II has used military force without prior congressional approval for major actions.[pogo]

The last formal declaration of war was in 1942 during World War II, and since then, presidents have relied on their commander-in-chief powers under Article II. This practice began notably with Harry Truman's Korean War deployment in 1950, labeled a "police action," setting a precedent.usatoday+3

Key Examples​

  • Truman (1950): Korea – troops sent without declaration.[facebook]
  • Eisenhower (1958): Lebanon – air and naval forces deployed.[facebook]
  • Kennedy (1961): Bay of Pigs in Cuba.[facebook]
  • Johnson (1964): Initial Vietnam airstrikes before Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.[facebook]
  • Nixon (1969-1973): Bombings in Cambodia and Laos.[facebook]
  • Reagan (1983, 1986): Grenada invasion, Libya bombings.robertcliftonrobinson+1
  • G.H.W. Bush (1989, 1990): Panama invasion, initial Gulf War airstrikes.[facebook]
  • Clinton (1995-1999): Bosnia, Iraq (Desert Fox), Kosovo.robertcliftonrobinson+1
  • G.W. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden: Drone strikes, Syria, Libya, Soleimani, etc., often under 2001/2002 AUMFs but without new approvals.usatoday+1

Legal Context​

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires notification within 48 hours and limits deployments to 60 days without approval, but every president since its passage has taken actions without prior authorization, notifying afterward. One source claims 43 of 45 presidents total have done so, excluding only early ones like William Henry Harrison and perhaps another. Recent examples include President Trump's 2026 Iran strikes.axios+3

I asked why Thomas Jefferson was left off that list and the reply was as follows:

Why was Jefferson left off the list?

Jefferson is not actually an exception; he did use military force, but he is often treated differently because he stayed within explicit, early congressional authorizations and defensive limits.

What Jefferson did​

  • In 1801, Jefferson sent a naval squadron to the Mediterranean in response to Tripoli’s threats and then de facto declaration of war, telling his commanders to protect U.S. commerce and ships.
  • He stated he was “unauthorized by the constitution, without the sanction of Congress, to go beyond the line of defense,” and initially confined U.S. actions to defensive measures.
  • Congress then passed the 1802 “Act for the protection of commerce and seamen of the United States against the Tripolitan cruisers,” explicitly authorizing him to employ the Navy offensively against Tripoli.

Why some lists omit him​

  • Some modern tallies define “using military force without Congress” as acting without either a declaration of war or a specific statutory authorization like the 1802 act, and they focus mainly on post‑WWII practice.
  • Because Jefferson sought and operated under targeted statutes and emphasized staying within defensive authority until Congress acted, some commentators treat him as an example of compliance with the constitutional allocation of war powers, not of unilateral presidential war‑making.
So if a list is counting presidents who attacked without any prior congressional authorization at all, its author may consciously leave Jefferson off on the theory that the Barbary actions were statutorily grounded and largely defensive at the outset.

Bottom line is I think that the Founding Fathers would have understood the powers granted to the President in this time.

If the Democrats don't want Presidents doing this, they are going to have to act and pass a law.

Until then, I think the argument that our Founding Fathers did not agree with this is incorrect.

There is a lot going on in this country from the left that the Founding Fathers would find abhorrent, but that isn't the subject of this thread.
I Believe that the Democrats, & Republicans, have severely stretched, even corrupted the intentions of the "Founding Fathers", as well as many Core Beliefs of "We the People".

After a great deal of very intensive research, over many years, I learned that the "Basic Public Education" of Our Youth has been more "Orwellian", than Truthful, and that many "Imperfections" in the actions of Our Leaders/Government, were basically "perfumed", &/or covered up. Call it a "re-fabrication", of America & It's History.

The Founding Fathers, had no desire for America to become the "Policeman" of the World, and I firmly believe that many of these "Police Actions" carried out by Our Leaders since WW2, would not have been carried out by "The Founding Fathers", especially without any "Justification".
 
I think this is more the reality

Your country is awash with guns, it's tailor made for people who want to cause massive fear amongst the public.
I look at that as a "Lonewolf" wannabe, as the vast majority of "Terrorist Acts" in America have been.

What I'm concerned about is the Acts of those who have been trained, and are awaiting a "Signal"/"Call" to strike Infrastructure, Mass Transportation, The Electrical Grid, Water Works, Agriculture, Military Bases, Communications, Federal, & State Governments, OIl & Gas Refineries, etc.

A "Lone Wolf", shooting up a Bar, Concert, Church or Synagogue, a Walmart, etc. & Proclaiming "Allah", causes mass panic, stress, & grief, in the immediate area, & causes concern amongst many in the Nation, but,......... That is not on the level of a long term, per-planned Attack by a "5th Column", designed to create Nation Wide Havoc, as well as being designed to cripple the services that America relies upon.

A "True Muslim", that is zealous for the Quran, will be Your "BFF", in every way, & even Fight for America, up to the point, of "Jihad" being called. Then that "BFF", will demand Your surrender, & submission to Allah, or put You to death.

Trump, & Israel have attacked the "Leader of Shia Islam", and if it does nothing in massive retaliation against "The Infidel",or "The Great Satan & Little Satan", then it will "Lose Face" in the "Muslim World".

Worse yet,.... Trump has now attacked Two of Russia's & China's allies, with very little reaction, other than verbal condemnations from them. Russia and China both had many Military, & Economic agreements with Venezuela, & Iran, and, their "Lack of Action" also causes them to "Lose Face".

To me, it's like we are in the "Twilight Zone", or experiencing the Calm before a REcord Breaking Hurricane hits.

I Truly Hope that I'm Wrong, but,..... I do not Believe that Trump's success as being a "Man of War" is going to be long lasting, and that his actions, are going to cause an action that is Unprecedented in American history.
 
Obama did not do jack squat. Go read UN Resolution 1973 an you will see how the UN authorized the use of force by nations not named the United States.

Stop bringing up Obama every time Trump ***** up.
The O'Bama (Read "Kenyan Imposter") Administration did illegally bring about "Regime Change" in many Muslim nations.

If I remember correctly, IT was called the 'Arab Spring".
 
There is a 46-year history of Iran doing these things of accusation.
Don't forget the "Sunni Muslims", whom by the way, when Islam made war up to the "Gates of Paris",.... The "Sunni", & "Shia" were "Tighter than two fleas on a frozen dog".
 
There is a correlation. No doubt some of MAGA is Zionist Fascist. But MAGA at its core was against these "forever wars" in the Middle East 100% about Israel and 0% about America. MTG, Tucker, Charlie Kirk, even Bannon and a good chunk of his RAV network. Fox News of course is 100% about Israel and 0% about America.

It is 30% of America and 6% of it is Dem like Schumer and Fetterman. That means 24% is Zionist Fascist "Republican" and most can't even define the word "conservative," not even close, and unfortunately because most are the dumbest drones on the planet disguised as humans, they go to vote for the "Pro Israel RINO" on command from JDAAC preacher...

The solution is for Americans who want

1. the Federal Govt to care about America, not Israel
2. fiscal conservatism, the debt is out of control
3. completely unredacted everything on all of the issues where they always redact, 911 Epstein etc.
4. a complete purge of CIA and DHS
5. sunshine laws


is a Third Party, and the best most direct way, regardless of what you think of the current Libertarian Party, is for the 45% who hate both parties to join Libertarian and truly "take America back" from two insane and treasonous parties.
For at least 35 years, I've looked upon the Democrats, & Republicans as the "Uni-party", and I'm absolutely a Conservative, but I quit being a Republican when Bubba Sr. gave his "New World Order" speech before Congress, & again at the Iraqi/Kuwait border.

The only POTUS, that took the time to Study the Quran, to the best of my knowledge was Thomas Jefferson,
and it is said that he did so, so as to "Better know my enemy". I own a Quran that was printed in 1938, with Arabic to English translation, and Commentary. I also have studied it, written notes in it, & highlighted many "Suras" that flat out, simply state that "The Infidel/Unbeliever is to submit to Allah, or die". ------- Yet, the Republicans have "Been in bed with" the Sunni Sect of Islam, and the Democrats "Been in bed with" the Shia Muslims practically ever since WW2.

I don't see how Trump will destroy a Sect of Islam, that has been on Earth since Muhammad died, & the bickering over who would lead Islam began.

And here's another Major Cause of Concern in My Belief,....... "Sunni Islam" in many ways, is the "Kissing Cousin" of "Talmudic Judaism", which accounts for at least 3 of the larger Sects/"Movements" of the Ten Sects/"Movements" of "Judaism". Several "Sunni Nations": have joined the "Abraham Accords", that were greatly assisted by Trump, via Jared Kuschner (Sp?), his "Jewish Son-in-Law", That "Alliance" with "Shia Islam" destroyed, or seriously weakened, could also "Shake th' World".
