The Unfiltered Voice of Christian Preparedness
BLUF MAIN TOPIC: The great power competition unfolding across Africa - where China, Russia, and terror groups battle for control of vast mineral wealth and strategic positioning - is fueling exactly the kind of instability that breeds sophisticated sleeper cell networks now embedded in 10 to 15 major American cities. This resource-driven chaos has created the perfect cover for extremist organizations to establish funding pipelines, recruit operatives, and develop coordinated attack capabilities that could execute a Post-9/11 2.0 scenario dwarfing the complexity and devastation of September 11th.

Africa has become ground zero for a new cold war, and Americans are paying the price. While China and Russia fight for control of the continent’s vast mineral wealth (from cobalt in the Congo to gold in Sudan), they’re creating exactly the kind of chaos that terror networks exploit. These aren’t just resource grabs anymore. Every unstable regime, every proxy conflict, every power vacuum creates opportunities for extremist groups to establish funding pipelines, recruit operatives, and build sophisticated networks. The Wagner Group (now Africa Corps) trades military support for mining concessions in Mali and the Central African Republic. China pours billions into Belt and Road projects across 49 African nations, creating debt traps that give Beijing leverage over critical supply chains. And terror organizations? They’re watching, learning, and building.

The concerning reality is that these groups don’t need to fight conventional wars anymore. They’re establishing sleeper cells, moving money through legitimate mining operations, and coordinating across borders while great powers look the other way as long as their resource interests are protected. Sudan’s civil war has killed over 150,000 people while Russia and the UAE fight for control of gold mines and Red Sea ports. Mali’s government kicked out French forces and invited Russian mercenaries, who now control key mineral deposits. The instability isn’t contained in Africa. Intelligence officials confirm that extremist networks are using this chaos to fund operations targeting the homeland, potentially coordinating attacks across multiple American cities that could dwarf September 11th in scope and complexity.
PRACTICAL TIPS | MAIN TOPIC
Understanding the African connection matters because the threat landscape has fundamentally changed. The traditional counterterrorism model focused on disrupting known cells and intercepting communications, but today’s reality involves operatives who live normal lives for years, funded by conflict minerals and resource wars thousands of miles away. Recent arrests in Michigan involving five individuals with ISIS connections demonstrate the pattern: young operatives with firearm training, access to weapons, and links to extremist ideology. U.S. Customs and Border Protection warns the threat of sleeper cells has never been higher, with thousands of Iranian nationals documented entering illegally and countless more in the unknown “got-aways.” Start by recognizing the signs. Terror cells need funding, communication, and operational security. They exploit weak points in our immigration system, sanctuary city policies, and the chaos created when great powers prioritize resource extraction over regional stability.
The FBI thwarted the Michigan Halloween weekend plot because they monitored online discussions, but how many other networks are operating below the radar? Consider your local area. Are there patterns of behavior that don’t add up? Individuals with unexplained wealth, frequent international travel to conflict zones, or sudden lifestyle changes warrant attention. The New Orleans attack on New Year’s Day 2025 killed 14 people (an ISIS-inspired lone wolf), but coordinated multi-city attacks would require cells working in concert. Build relationships with local law enforcement and understand your community’s vulnerability points. Critical infrastructure, houses of worship, sporting events, and transportation hubs remain attractive targets. The Paris attacks in 2015 hit six locations simultaneously with 130 dead. That’s the playbook, and the African resource wars are funding the next generation of operatives who could execute similar coordination across 10-15 American cities.

Everyday Americans need to stop thinking this is someone else’s problem. The connection between African proxy wars and domestic terrorism isn’t theoretical anymore, it’s operational reality …
INFORMATION IS SURVIVAL ...
Free subscribers get the headlines. Guardians get the intel (private Signal channels, emergency alerts, and direct access to our team). When things go bad, which one do you want to be?
… When Russia’s Africa Corps secures gold mining contracts in exchange for propping up dictators, that gold gets sold on world markets and funds broader destabilization efforts. When China controls 70% of the world’s cobalt production in the Congo while backing one side of a civil war, that creates displacement, radicalization, and opportunity for extremist recruitment. Your action items start with awareness and preparation. First, pressure elected officials to take the African security situation seriously. The U.S. can’t cede the entire continent to adversaries and expect no blowback. Second, understand that our open border policies have created vulnerability. DHS’s own 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment warned that Iran remains the primary state sponsor of terrorism with efforts to target current and former U.S. officials. The FBI arrested 11 Iranian illegal aliens in a multi-state operation, but Commissioner Rodney Scott’s memo warned thousands more entered illegally. Third, get your household prepared for potential disruptions. A coordinated multi-city attack would trigger martial law, supply chain breakdowns, and communication failures. Stock food, water, medical supplies, and have a defendable position. Fourth, armed citizens are force multipliers. States that respect Second Amendment rights give terrorists pause because soft targets become hard targets when Americans are trained and armed. The Michigan plot involved individuals with firearm training and access to weapons, showing that these cells prepare for armed confrontation. Finally, build community resilience. Know your neighbors, establish communication plans that don’t rely on cell networks, and create mutual aid agreements for security and resources. The Global Terrorism Index 2025 shows Africa experiencing the highest level of ISIS activity worldwide, with groups like JNIM maintaining pressure on urban centers in Burkina Faso and Mali. That instability breeds the fighters who eventually target Western cities. Your preparedness today determines your survival tomorrow.
