Current Events: Top Iranian General Salami Soleimani Terminated in US Drone Strike.
Following this event, many believe that embedded Iranian backed terrorist “sleeper cells”[1] here in the United States may receive their “go” orders.
And if that is true, you as a preparedness-minded person may wonder what, if anything, you can do to further prepare. So I’m going to suggest a few things to think about.
What Will The Terrorists Do?
We must consider the possibilities. You need to hypothesize what they might do. Only then can you consider a plan.
I’m not a terrorist profiler. But common sense may be applicable in that a terrorist sleeper cell will want to maximize their damage.
That might mean maximum casualties. Or it might be maximum terror itself – which in turn may ripple through the population in destructive ways. Maximum fear.
One thing’s for sure — the radical Iranian leadership have made it VERY CLEAR over the years — they want death to America. And now, apparently the first time in history, Red Flag (Jihad) has been unfurled over the “Holy Dome Of Jamkarān Mosque, Qom Iran”.
So, what are the possibilities?
Maximize Damage To Population
Food Supply Disruption
Governments don’t last long if the people are not fed. What better way to disrupt than to damage food distribution infrastructure to major city regions. How would they do that? I can think of several ways, which I won’t elaborate on here.
However we do exist on a “just in time” system — which if damaged in some way — will create a panic. And if everyone panics, they’ll all head to the grocery stores and clear them out. Then guess what… once that happens, it will be very difficult to bring that distribution supply chain back up to par.
When The Trucks Stop, It’s Over
What if they somehow were able to poison some of the food supply? People will be afraid to shop, not knowing. Then what?
In the mean time people go hungry. Which will bring about social chaos.
The preparedness solution? If you don’t already have enough, get more.
Fuel Supply Disruption
All food distribution (or any) rely on fuel. “What if” they start taking out refineries… Prices will skyrocket. Supplies will dwindle as people panic and fill their vehicle’s fuel tanks at once.
Electrical Power Distribution
Do you know how apparently easy it might be for terrorist sleeper cells to take down critical electrical power distribution centers / substations? A few years ago I wrote the following article:
9 Electric Power Grid Substations Will Bring It All Down
We all know that the flow of electricity keeps us alive. Literally. Now imagine a major city region without electricity? That’ll cause some disruption…
Blowing Stuff Up
They like to do this to others, and themselves in the process. Even a small scale blow-up will create fear and terror among the masses. The US population is soft in that life has been relatively uninterrupted here compared with other places where bombings are “normal” (sadly). So, “if” that were to become regular, people will freak out.
In retaliation for this recent current event (Soleimani termination), might they blow up a Trump hotel (for example?). That’s not good for business… Or if they decide to attack Americans as they shop at malls and stores, people will hesitate or stop going because they’re scared. They like to blow up airport terminals. People will become afraid to fly. You get the idea… It’s endless what they could do in a free society.
Water Supply
Even more important than food is water. In theory, water systems could be poisoned. Can you fathom the chaos if the water supply to say, New York City, were poisoned?
Bio-Terror
Bio-engineered weaponry. Chemical warfare. Invisible. Talk about fear… releasing a bio-weapon in a major subway, airport, you name it… Again, our porous borders will have easily allowed substances to get through, and into the hands of sleeper cells.
Economic Collapse
Needless to say, if these things started happening, it would create chaos in the financial markets. Perhaps the straw that breaks the camels back, so to speak. I’m sure the leadership behind proxy terror cells would love that.
The Takeaway | How To Prepare
I’ve tossed out a few thoughts. You can probably dream up more…
The best advice might simply be this… stay away from crowds.
Naturally, terrorism will likely fall upon major population regions for maximum effect. That means population-dense areas.
Most of us here are already prepared for disruption. However,
My instinct tells me that “if” there were to be terror events here on US soil, the most likely affects will be panic by the masses. That in itself will be what may affect you and I. That is, the follow-on results of said panic. Shortages. Prices. Economy. Chaos and Martial Law.
Martial Law | Could It Happen Here?
The additional factor that will splinter us further as a nation is this… The “left” in this country today (in government, media, and the population at large) will use this (if it happens) to blame Trump (which they do for everything). And it could get real ugly – especially as they continue to press towards his removal. We’re already torn. This will make it worse.
Shore up your preps. Keep your fuel tanks full. Get some cash out of the bank (I just did – never hurts to have some). Stay in the yellow.
[1] Sleeper Cells | Terrorists who have blended in to communities. They live here, work here, have ‘front’ businesses here. With US open-border policies and sanctuary havens, it is highly probable that easy-entry has enabled the embedding of sleeper cells throughout the US.
Other scenarios to add… Think low tech terror.
Think DC Sniper 2001-2002 shortly after 911… One man his young son and a single rifle… Multiply by 1000 active Persian units. Over all metro areas in the U.S. This will terrorize the citizens in these heavily populated areas. They (news media & politicians) will even probably blame it on conservative white guys for the first few weeks.
Off course all bets are off at that point. We good ol’ boys will protect our own. We will know who the true outsiders are in our homogeneous communities. Things will get sorted out over the course of time. The Persians will run out of ammo at some point or make a mistake.
Best to keep your head down until there is a clear target and we can see clearly through the fog.
” They (news media & politicians) will even probably blame it on conservative white guys for the first few weeks.”
My guess is this will be part of the plan, and the MSM will happily go along with it.
We will be blamed at the outset, we will be targeted for investigation.
Obviously, it will be conservative, white christian men, they are devils.
The Jamarkaran Mosque is considered to be one of the holiest sites in Islam, and it is also associated with the future reappearance of the Mahdi. The hoisting of this red flag was broadcast on Iranian state television, and it was obviously intended to send a message to Shiites all over the globe. So precisely what was that message? Well, we are being told that according to Shiite tradition a red flag represents a call for revenge. Clearly, the Iranians want blood. Islam is the problem. These people were brought up with hate for Americans, at an early age by their parents.. There is no way they can ever be westernized. They will never, ever forgive us for the killing of Qassem Soleimani, and their faith requires that he be avenged. They believe that they can’t lose a Holy war. The truth of the matter is nobody knows how Iran is going to respond. I don’t think even Iran knows. But respond they will. At this point, what they want is blood. There is no question, in my thoughts, that Iran is going to strike back. And, it won’t just be a one time deal. They are going to hit… Read more »
They can’t forgive us for not being them, so what’s new? Iran has always hated the “West” and declared holy war numberless times. It doesn’t stick. They hate us because their previous terrorist attacks haven’t succeeded. That’s enough impetus for revenge from the POV of a mindless, addled warmonger nation that’s been held in check by a stronger power (horrors!). Now they see a thread that might lead to a rope and they’re going to yank it.
Ken,
I know this sounds paranoid… I don’t even want to throw out ideas here, or anywhere. Anybody can be reading.
We all just need to keep our heads on a swivel and eyes and ears open.
Keep your supplies growing for as long as possible.
Todd Bensman, over at Center for Immigration Studies, had been focused on the issue of Special Interest Alien movements for quite some time. Has written and spoken extensively for more than a year on this topic. Movement in Europe as well as toward the U.S. anyone interested in this topic can get an overview at

Was meant as a stand alone comment, not a reply. Sorry.
“So it has been written,
So it shall be done.”
I have a Nephew who commanded a firebase on the border of Iran in Iraq. They did fire missions EVERY NIGHT, to try and stop Iranian thugs coming across the border to kill our/his guys.
Few know this fact, that Iran’s army trained the military in Venezuela “how to fight Americans”. Hezbollah, an Iranian sponsored terror group, has a big presence in Venezuela still.
That Spanish speaking guy that you run into at the hardware store or gun show just might be an Iranian who is in deep cover until an order is given. I have heard that our Border Patrol finds Islamic items every so often coming across from Mexico.
Facial features and structure are different concerning Persian VS. Hispanic. Plus if you have talked to enough Mexican and Central Americans they have thick recognizable accents from their countries. Could there be Venezuelan terror cells trained by Iran? Yes probably…
It might be hard to ID Persians for those that have not been around Hispanics or people from the sand box.
I’m remembering back to the weeks/months after the 9/11 attacks. The media kept the general public in a panic as they announced credible threats to masks, water treatment plants and dams, trains, electrical sub-stations, etc…
I remember people freaking out, the malls emptied, people were afraid to go a lot of places, and instead of doing something constructive like laying in supplies they ran around like Chicken Little waiting for the sky to fall. Pure panic.
I have no doubt Iran wants to come after us, but there’s no way to know how or when. But, I am determined to be vigilant and prepared to the extent ossicle. Head on a swivel, staying away from big crowds, major potential target areas and paying a lot of attention. I’m above yellow alert, not quite to red, but orange I guess?
Doesn’t have to be a person or group that looks like Iranians; there is a good number of lefties in this country that are quite vocal about their support for that tyrannical regime in Iran.
Good point, Chevy. There are enemies within.
I really don’t understand. U.S. Customs and Border protection budget F.Y. 2018, over 16 billion. F.Y. 2020, almost 21 billion. I thought that we paid this in order to keep the sleeper cells out.
And that’s just for border protection. I added a rough estimate for DHS budget at over 85 billion for F.Y. 2020. I thought that paying this, along with the Patriot Act, etc., etc. was implemented in order to keep us secure.
Well CR, you see, they might need mo-money. It must not be enough. Maybe we need a Patriot Act II (sarc).
Ha!
There you go thinking again. 😁
CR, Yes, we have all of those things but, you have to USE THEM to be effective.
BJ22,
👍
Here we go again….
I just chatted with a friend of mine that owns a local Firearms Relocation and Reassignment Facility (gun store).
Business is BOOMING (pardon the pun) better than 45% of firearms sold in the last 36 hours, and 70% of his stock of ammo.
He did comment the second best day ever, second to when ‘O’ got elected.
BUTTTTT Let’s not wait till the last minute to become prepared y-all. UGHHHHH
Guess I’ll have to check out our local wally world. Last time I went past the ammo isle it was very well stocked with calibers I thought would be gone. I commented to the sales guy and he said they were selling stock on hand but not re-ordering. I’m guessing since there was so much available folks around here have already loaded up.
me
Off topic, but….
Was reluctantly in a Wally south of home. Had to get a phone card, (no availability elsewhere).
Walked thru sporting goods…..no ammo, no arms.
What a dump, I thought.
I went to Dunham’s sporting goods a mile down the road. Made a couple purchases. Equal to, if not more than a phone card.
What could they do? Any and all of the above. Yes they hate us.I believe USA is the most hated of all countries in the world. Because we are free. Which I sometimes wonder for how much longer.I agree with you all . Prepare and prepare some more.tangible assets .I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.When I am dead and gone I hope my children will stand there looking at my stuff and wonder what the heck was Dad thinking?That will mean We didn’t need any of it in my lifetime. And they can divie it up or throw it all away. Stay vigilant.
Ken,
Funny you should have such an article, as today I read, from ‘natural news’ via Steve Quail,
‘Truckers’ transportation coalition warns of “super supply chain crisis” as America’s cities may collapse into war zones: food, fuel, medical supplies could all be disrupted’
Welcome to 2020
Maybe all hype. Who knows.
Got milk? (needed supplies)?
The ante is progressively uppin’.
Preppin’ on….
@Joe c,
Like minds, think alike. And many other bloggers in this arena are in tune with what “could” happen.
While I sincerely hope this does not come to pass, I cannot help but to hypothesize the options that “they” (terrorist / sleeper cells / the enemy) may perceive. It comes down to max damage. Food. Infrastructure. Fuel. Fear. And more…
2020 already feels like it’s going to be…
I ‘hear’ ya.
Me thinks it ain’t gonna be a pretty year.
At least the Japanese were smart enough to know, “…..a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
Sleeper cells haven’t caught on to that type of thinking…..yet,
nor the Democratic cells.
Enemies, both foreign and domestic
Fox News reporting several U.S. facilities under missile attack from Iran. Preliminary, but U.S. general quoted as serious.

Ken, this night ain’t over. We may wake up to a very sobering tomorrow.
Appears they are targeting U.S. troop housing. Dead soldiers will fuel anti-Trump rhetoric from media and dems.

They may find out that contrary to the Obummer Administration, this tiger is not toothless. But we can not get into another 18 year war or lose another one – then we would definitely be a target for every tin pot dictator. Time to punish and then de-escalate our involvement in the middle east.
I think the deep state that has been trying to get rid of Trump, was able to persuade him to kill Solemani, knowing it would open a can of worms. Now they and the media and dems will use this against him.
We should have pulled out of the ME years ago. It’s a no win situation

On Coast to Coast night before last the guest speaker at the beginning of the program spoke about the return of the IA tola. He returned to Iraq after his exile from being in France during the late 1970’s. The only reason the IA tola was let in was because the Sha had left for American for medical treatment under the blessing of Pres Jimmy Carter.
One of his first dictates to the people of Iraq were they would consume the world in their belief(not a religion)until every nation, every continent was converted to their way of thinking. Then shortly after that they invaded the US Embassy taking our people hostage.
If Reagan had done what many of us felt at the time, this occurrence would have been a mute point. As 11HE9 and I agree a skating rink made from colored glass would be fitting. But what do I know I am just a civilian.
Umm…Reagan was in cahoots with the “IA tola” (are you kidding me?) before the 1980 election. His administration also sold Iran weapons.
Jimbo
When Reagan became president of the US after Carter lost to him. No cahoots between Reagan and IA tola…….but the democratic party.
I have seen your chicanery with Ken, not playing that game with you….
What was Casey doing in Portugal then?
Facilitating arms sales to Iran is an undisputed fact.
Anything that happened 40 years ago by people that are long dead is probably a mute point don’t ya think?
Umm…NO! History matters, recent history really matters.
Oh, for crying out loud. It’s MOOT, not MUTE. Let’s try to at least look credible.

Oh, okay. So now you want us to talk good English and use ceramics?

Am glad when people comment. So much to learn and always makes me think.
There’s a time and a place for everything, even persnickety grammarians. But perhaps not in this forum, maybe, where folks are encouraged to participate? The meaning was understood, and accepted, by the kind and understanding hearts here on this blog.

You think the retaliatory strikes going on by Iran against U.S. bases might be the excuse to MOAB Iranian nuke sites?
Read today that a half-dozen B-52’s were deployed to the Indian Ocean.
Let’s say you people are right. The Iranian/Muslim terrorist “sleeper cell” meme has been going on ever since 9/11. And, before that we had the “Deep Cover Spesnatz Agents” with suitcase nukes. It is always some little hobgoblin created by the Leviathan and their useful idiots in the MSM to keep the great unwashed running around like chickens with their heads cut off(H/T to H.L. Mencken). Que sera, sera. If it happens, it happens. Practical considerations: Stay away from crowds. If you live in and/or commute to a Blue Hive controlled by the Infanticide Party, have a bug-out/survival plan in place. If you live in a fairly mellow Red State area, then have a plan to receive any family/close friends who you have networked with about potential catastrophes. Deal with reality. Amerika has been sticking its nose where it did not belong ever since the “First Progressive” – Theodore Roosevelt was elevated to the White House. When you call the tune, you eventually pay the piper. The Amerikan government has made a lot of legitimate enemies, foreign and domestic. Something unpleasant will happen soon.

Well, I guess it is now war. Let us go forth and crush the enemy with great prejudice and remove from orbit ANY enemy satellite and sink every ship they have…and destroy every enemy military site of any sort, including all military connected support infrastructure.
But, make sure you take good videos…as I wish to be entertained.
Death to Iran.
sorry ken I am what all patriots are thinking… go ahead and take my post down.
Hmmm! This sounds like one of the things I mentioned when we made our predictions for 2020, but things are happening a lot faster than I thought. Like Dennis said, I also heard there was a missile and mortar attack on some of our bases. I wonder if these are a distraction while a much bigger event is being prepared? Maybe even a cyber attack on the U.S.? Also, just now heard we may be organizing a counter strike soon on Iran bases where missiles were fired from. Could it possibly be we may be flying into a trap, or are the Iranians just dumb? It is beginning to look like Game On. I think NOW would be a good time to double check your preps.
Just heard that attack is still ongoing, and there may be multiple casualties. If so, this would not be good. It will most likely escalate if a lot of dead. Hope this is all fake news, otherwise we should all pray.
Now I heard that Trump tweeted that all is well after the attack. Go figure. Duh! I give up.
“All the world’s a stage,
and all it’s people players”.

Anony Mee,
Good read and seems to be well researched. A dozen attacks of whatever in this country and we would probably be close to martial law being imposed on us.
We are on pretty high alert when out and about.Times have gone from interesting to very unnerving.
Stay away from cities and crowds. Anything is possible.
i have paid attention to this whole mess so i learned IF YOU WANT TO STOP A TERRORIST THINK LIKE ONE what would YOU DO IF YOU WHERE ONE how would you proceed what would YOU DO and act accordingly
this country is LOADED with soft targets and weapon free zones are a PRIME TARGET these slime have trained for YEARS on how to attack such things and well the democraps STILL think LETS JUST ADD MORE DO NOTHING FEEL GOOD LAWS
Anti-gun states like NJ, NYC are ripe for an attack as there is no one to stop them right away…. Texas, Az or one of the southern the attackers would be lit up in seconds…..
The FBI arrested an Iranian living in my town a few months ago. He was taking pics in NYC and the Metro area…. They are here!
Here is the link….
“man groomed for more than 20 years by a terrorist organization was charged Thursday with scouting possible targets for attack in New York City,”

When I worked counter-terrorism at Walt Disney World, we often detected and worked scouts from various Muslim sources. The scouting can be very comprehensive, too. It was not uncommon for foreign scouting teams to deliberately practice placing devices of various sizes and composition on property, in specifically targeted locations, matching those capable of the most effective damage, or the production of the greatest number of casualties. Lucky for me, almost all of the placed devices were “fakes” or inert, where the explosives were replaced with inert materials of similar size and weight..all of which were also legal to possess. Thus, large size practice devices could be used for “trial runs,” where the foreign agent would see if they could place the package where he wanted without being detected. If the agent was challenged during placement, the most we could do was to think of a way to trespass the person from the property. However, to my memory…we NEVER caught anyone while they were in the process of device placement. WE only found the device where it was placed, having little idea of how long the device may have been there. However, most are thought to be found within an hour… Read more »
Ision, Wow. Like you said, the things you’ll never hear about… but it’s happening
Ision
Many venues now do not allow backpacks or packages that could contain a bomb. A two pronged approach to fighting terrorism, one proactive and the other reactive as you described. But the best as many have said “avoid crowds”.
Some professional sports team are now requiring clear plastic backpacks, bags etc if one is bringing personal items into the stadium.
There have been people caught filming the PATH subway (they run between NJ and NYC) on occasions. They were not tourists.
Now the Chinese have a concerted effort to photograph US Military installations. Some just drive right on to the base and start taking pictures… They should shot on the spot when caught….
How many are in Congress?
How many are in top positions w/in the Muslim community and those non-profit non-govt organizations?
We have been led to believe the Muslim hate-cult is a religion and ‘hands off’ when there are numerous examples saying otherwise. Even their cult-readings are instruction manuals filled with barbarianism and evil.
Top-down captures and kills-strikes are critical and we already know many of the targets living well in Amerika.
They teaching young boys and girls from the first grade that, being a martir is the greatest honor to their families.
Let us help them be with Allah before the second grade….
Benhala, very sad for those babies. Very sad indeed.
I think the so called sleeper cells that are most likely to be a big problem are lefties in the major cities. If Trump wins in november they will riot and destroy all they can. An example is, in Atlanta a few years ago someone burned a truck load of plastic pipe under a major highway damaging the bridge and shut it down. Things like that done in an organized manner will cause chaos.
I posted about the planet alignments last week which will begin Jan. 10 2020 and what the author terms for this decade 2020-2030 as a Societal Reset and The Great Transformation. We have lost much of our knowledge about the Earth and her siblings with our descent into materialism. We all agree that the Moon has a major effect on the great oceans of the Earth, but refuse to accept the power of the planets that circle us. Interesting this Iran issue comes about now.
Sooooo as always we will see what happens with Iran. Truly may we never need our preps.
In the aftermath of 9/11 DOJ and then DHS promoted the “See something, say something” program. Many reports were made about people and activities that appeared out of place, esp. with reference to critical infrastructure. Sometimes it was nothing; other times arrests were made and planned terrorist attacks were thwarted. Periodic action reports used to cross my desk. I was very proud of my countrymen and women for taking the step to call in.
After I moved on from that work I once saw something and called 9-1-1. Occasionally wonder if anything ever came of it.
See Something Say Something – that’s one thing we can do.
But then, after that, the PC-Police (a.k.a. leftist media/politicians/etc.) began their campaign that you are BAD if you “say something” if the “something” “someone” is of a certain religion or appears as such — even though that person may warrant a “say something”. Bad bad bad. It’s only Good good good if you “say something” if a that “something” or “someone” is white white white. But I digress. (/sarc)
Domestic terrorism is
Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere.
Was a moment of sadness when my 94 year old Mom asks me this morning as I bring in the newspaper: “Are we at War Michael?”.
And like you do with little children I soothed her with “no, it looks like everybody is cooling off”.
And in my heart I hope I’m right BUT the perceived Civil War 2.0 starting in Virginia on January 20th is still to be seen…..
So many folks say “A rifle behind each blade of grass” as our defense from invasion and terrorism BUT when it’s shooting at each other like in the Brother against Brother, Family against Family of a Civil War it’s our weakness.
The Deep State and the Socialist-Democrats and the Media have done such a excellent job dividing us into hundreds of hostile “camps”. Divide and Conquer eh?
What an AWESOME way for Terrorism to wipe out my country, the Deep State must be getting excited to finish off our Republic.
Praying for our Republic. Iranian Terror Cells might be awaiting the results of January 20th for their GO Orders. WE could be part of the “Death to America” efforts fighting ourselves…
Sad story, me2.
Hope your mom is ok.
Thanks Joe c She is as well as a 94 year old oxygen dependent lady can be.
Just kind of hurt of the little she is aware of she has to be aware of war at her age.
Hope all is well with you and your lady. Any new stories about your new critter (Sadie I think?)
me2
That is correct.
Sadie is becoming an independent, opinIonated young lady.
Halter? I don’t need no stinking halter. I would much rather watch you fight me trying to put it on and maybe run circles around you in the barn yard, once I escape the stall.
Grain and hay are great…..since I don’t get milk replacer anymore….
and I still neeed attention. Occasional moos, saying rub my head, belly and back🐮
Staying away from crowds is the best response.
If a lefty tries to blame Trump for this, remember Obama gave the Iranians $150 billion in cash, refused to build a border wall and made 2500 Iranians citizens.
We need to withdraw from the UN, put armed security in schools, shopping centers ect. Stop the attack on our 2A, build a wall on the border, remove ALL illegal aliens bar code them so if they come in again they just go to jail. Remove all corrupt politicians who hate America and violate their oath of office and the Constitution and try them for treason.
Rant over for now
I would suggest that everyone get a copy of “Day of Wrath” by William Forestchen of “One Second After” fame. It details the easiest and most devastating and low tech way the enemy could shut down our country. It will certainly force you to keep your head on a swivel and be prepared every time you walk out the door.
Tsalam
Thank you for the book reference, but thought would let you know most of us have read that book. Started with the original book by him “One Second After”, if you have not read it as of yet.
