Iranian Sleeper Cells will be the pretext to Crack down on American Protests

     Now, that Trump has started has joined Israel's War on Iran, sensationalists are hyping the threat of "Iranian Sleeper Terrorist Cells" in the United States.

Do you recall during his first Reign of Terror when Trump warned Muslims had infiltrated the United States via the porous Mexican border?  It turned out to be a plot device in the movie Sicario 2.

Because of structural deficiencies in the United States, Trump isn't in any danger of Impeachment from the United States Government which is controlled entirely by Republicans.  Additionally, the Corporate Media, which is already on Trump's side, loves the thought of another war and gushes over Trump's momentous military might.  I'm guessing the Trump cabal sees zero downside to this course of action.  White America will always get behind bombings.  Faux News will never report on this illegal military action.  Conservatives will quickly fall in line and all repeat the same warmonger justifications.

And if things go sideways?  Well, as Steve at No More Mister Nice Blog points out Trump and Republicans will simply blame Barack & Biden.  Rightwing drones have been primed for years by Trump, Corporate Media, and rightwing agitprop to lay the blame for all problems at the feet of the Democrats.  And this past Sunday we already saw Tom Homan and Pete Hesgseth put the onus for these "sleeper cells" onto President Biden.

"I said the last four years my biggest concern was this open border was the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen," Homan lied about. "So I pulled numbers this morning just from a CBP under Joe Biden, there was 1,272 nationals from Iran. And you compare that in the Trump administration, zero, right? Zero releases."

The fear of dastardly sneak attacks by the scary foreigner has been an American Trope ever since Europeans forcibly colonized these lands.  Of course, during the Cold War (the original World War 3), Republicans fear-mongered about Soviet Agents infiltrating and attacking the US from within while the Communist horde launched their attacks from Mother Russia.  This is the basic plot for Little Nikita (1992) and the F/X series The Ameri☭ans (2013-2018).

However, what white supremacists Charlie Kirk and Stephen Miller want is for armed white mobs to harass women in headscarfs and to break windows with Farsi script on them.  I'm sure if he wasn't dead, Trump would have deported The Iron Sheik already.

Because Republicans are going to use  the phony fear of homeland Iranian terrorist attacks in the US as a pretext to crack down violently on anti-War and anti-Trump protests.  Plus, the added bonus will be to send those "terrorists" to El Salvador and the other Republican concentration camps.  Because once those camps are up and running there will always be another group whom Republicans will target to send there.
