Sleeper Cells in the USA & the “Prepared Citizens Movement” ~ What to Know

The FBI has increased domestic surveillance for Iranian Sleeper cells. Policy analyst speaks with Blaze about what this means.Also, a growing movement called “Prepared Citizens” is gaining momentum.

Here on this Substack, I try to pass along information that might be helpful to others. As is the case, for fear being pushed in the media. It’s important to remember that media outlets more times than not, have an ulterior motive behind their message. Let’s decode the ‘Sleeper Cell’ reporting that has come up in the news recently.

Blaze Media speaks with Kyle Shideler, a senior analyst who conducts research and threat assessments for DHS and Homeland Security, in light of the FBI’s Statements Regarding ramped up surveillance for ‘Sleeper Cells’ in the United States.

Key Points

Key points with Q&A that stood out in this interview are listed below. Full 15:15 interview is included below, as well.

🎥BLAZE TV - “FBI Warns of Sleeper Cells in America - Why Did They Leak This Now?”

In case you haven’t heard yet, Trump did announce late yesterday, a direct hit on 3 Iranian nuclear facilities.

“Why has the ‘Sleeper Cell’ concern hit the mainstream airwaves now?”

1. Might be a little CYA - to let the public know ‘the FBI has this under control’

2. To play into the narrative that if Trump were to act, we are likely to be hit with acts of terrorism here in the United States - could be a strong deterrent for Trump to NOT eliminate unclear targets in Iran

“What kind of attacks would they be capable of and should we be looking out for, here in the United States?”

1. “Most Hezbollah cells in the United States are fundraising in propaganda sales here in the United States. But there is good evidence to suggest that they also have military training, as well.”

2. What these sleeper cells could be capable of - vehicular IED’s, full scale small arms attacks, suicide vest bombings and anything in between. Soft targets - county wells, infrastructure and cyberattacks.

3. Historically, these groups use proxy veils, here in United States. So, don’t expect bad actors to always be who they say they are…..🎭

Concessions to Make

1. What is occurring that we DON’T Know about, aka unknown variables

2. The border was ‘wide open’ for 4 years under Biden - many known encounters were reported of those on the terror watchlist and the Biden Administration actually let in known Hezbollah members and did not detain them in fear of COVID

3. We must realize our weak areas and plan for them the best way possible

My Personal Advice 😁

Don’t live in fear. God gave us senses and the ability to detect when something is wrong. If the time comes and we notice something is off, your body and mind will tell you! You know your normal surroundings, the comings and goings of people that you normally see and when something seems off. Develop a strong neighborhood watch group(yes, be neighborly😁) - when something looks out place, have a way to communicate to your neighbors(like neighborhood watch groups on a group text). Part of our strength as a nation is social cohesion; this is why we have seen so many ‘divide and conquer’ incidents meant to sow division among us.

In public spaces, you also have an instinct that lets you know when something is off. Don’t ignore it or brush it off. Now is the time to pay attention to things that look off or out of place. Not paranoia, just awareness. Find your balance, while understanding the threats we may or may not face in a time of conflict.

The Prepared Citizens Movement

There is a movement gaining way in Florida and across the nation called “The Prepared Citizens Movement”. News Nation did a special, below. It’s a 5 minute video and quite interesting!

These are normal civilians (non-military) that have created a community centered on being prepared. You can visit their website here.

Again, if we live in fear, those that mean us harm, have already won. If being prepared gives you a sense of peace, then take steps to be prepared.
