iranian sleeper cell agents

sicko-wistful

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Holy shit I have heard the sleeper cell shit from family. I thought they were just uniquely paranoid. Is this a thing?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 59 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

It's been a propaganda thing since 2003

Conservatives even think there's antifa sleeper cells controlled by China just ready to take down AmeriKKKa

That's disgusting! And people just volunteer for this? Where?! thats-disgusting-where

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

It's a thing in movies, so why wouldn't people believe it?

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, it's not like sleeper agents don't exist, there were those Russian ones, but there aren't exactly a large number.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Im a eepy agent

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately, there are an average of zero Russian sleeper agents in the United States. Hexbear Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

I think I heard Ted Cruz claim it was "reported" by the feds in the Carlson interview.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Has been for decades

Throwback to all the Al-Qaeda sleeper cells that got activated across the country after 9/11, just like the Bush admin and news agencies fearmongered over

Oh wait

[–] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The fantasies of Iranian sleeper cells are both projection and racism for when they see someone visibly arab/muslim existing in a way they dislike

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

its 100% racism. thing is we aren’t even arab. iranians tend to get really offended when people call us arabs. but yeah my whole life yts have assumed im arab or mexican (which to their credit i guess my mom is half mexican)

i dont need iran to say the secret phrase to wake me up and hate this shitty evil country tho. or maybe they already did and thats why im like this. oh shit

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Lmao that’s gonna be the next Fox News headline:

“millions of ‘sleeper agents’ from ‘scary brown’ communities have been activated following a complex, multi-year, ‘Russian’ activation sequence during which time they’re exposed to the constant stream of racism and violence the US perpetuates at home and abroad. This devious ‘Russian’ process, when active, causes communities that would otherwise love the ‘endless opportunities’ America provides, to say radical things like ‘bombing hospitals is fucked up’ and ‘another illegal war??’. More at 11, including how to tell if your teen has been activated by ‘marxist ringleader’ Miss Rachel.”

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's true. I am the sleeper agent. Now that I'm activated what I have to say is: I'm fucking sleepy and I'm going back to sleep goodnight 😴

Dang it, we should have infiltrated the great Satan with thousands of sometimes-sleeper-but-sometimes-awake-and-alert-er cells!

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago

You know Trump's and Netanyahu's fascist governments that I hate? I believe every word they say about Iran!

His favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, American Psycho, and the Christopher Nolan Batman movie with Bane.

Too much 24 and Homeland

Rots your brain

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I predict in like 6 months a significant portion of Americans will be convinced that ALL immigrants from the middle east are actually sleeper cells for Iran.

[–] CarbonConscious@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

I mean if you're flexible about the specific name of the country, then you're about 24 years too late on that prediction.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is it ageist to say that he looks like the fortiest 22 yo I've ever seen

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No because 22 is like 40 in demon years

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

holden-bloodfeast a sprightly 33 year old

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

nah this dude looks weird asf and hes also a fascist pig who deserves to be made fun of for anything that might knock his worthless ass down.

i don’t even believe he’s 22. i bet he is in his 40s or 50s but he looks like this because he’s made up entirely of recessive genes. nothing wrong with being ‘low T’ but the trump admin is supposed to be for “alphas” and this dude looks like he’s got no T at all. so they probably lied that he’s actually 22 and that’s supposedly why he looks like that. not because he’s a freak with barely human genetics

Iranian sleeper cells? Unironically target any Iranian monarchist.

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I once walked past some pritest of iranian monnarchists, and stayed to laugh at them. Absolute loosers. They were right across from I think jw. Clown parade, I left when they started to throw dark looks in my direction.

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

If there are a million iranian sleeper cells, I am one of them. If there is only one, it's me. If there are no iranian sleeper cells left, I am dead.

[–] WrongOnTheInternet@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

the sleeper cells sit-back-and-enjoy

[–] dead@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He looks like the villain from Lazy Town.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, looks like that guy's insufferable failson

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are false flags on the books?

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

almost guaranteed imo

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

I wouldn’t put it past Mossad to encourage a little more American enthusiasm.

Burgers think Iran is doing Operation Gladio in Burgerland.

[–] userofnames@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

i mean.. there were a lot of sleeper cells of mossad/israeli's in iran so why wouldn't they think the inverse was happening

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the thing about this kid who they keep going on about - yes, at face value it's perhaps a bit insane to have someone so inexperienced to perform such a large role - but so far, it seems he's been fine?

Time will tell, but doesn't it seem like the job is maybe not that difficult? Maybe young people are quite capable? Maybe the position is so bureaucratic it's pointless?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

The dirty little secret about most bureaucracies is that there’s the analysts who get the work done, there’s a small handful of upper-mid managers who have the institutional knowledge and rapport with enough of the agency/department in order to put that work into useful action, and then there’s the guys at the top that are there for political reasons and just pass off what the analysts and upper-mid managers do as their own work.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i think the sleeper cells are still sleeping

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago
