The following was forwarded to me from a friend.
It struck a nerve with me -- perhaps because I was just in NYC and am generally
more paranoid than the average American about terrorism.
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the
movie ' Munich ' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard -- she
appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who
took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic
Games.
In a lecture in New York City a few weeks ago, he shared information that
EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with
us.
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News
stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly
laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. But,
unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle
East ) to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His
report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile
buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the
U.S. Will occur within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes, because
he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the
people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport
security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in
developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example:
- Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new
explosives are made of plastic.
- He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of
that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to
bring aboard liquid explosives.. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says
he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his
underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked! Every
strategy we have is reactionary.
- We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says
that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target
busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It
would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a
busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute
while they run to the restroom or get a Drink, and then detonate the bags
BEFORE security even gets involved.
In Israel , security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER
the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is
imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places
where large groups of people congregate. (I. E., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos,
big cities ( New York , San Francisco , Chicago , etc...) and that it will also
include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as
rural America this time ( Wyoming , Montana , etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations
around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities,
including rural areas.
Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in
many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas ,
they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence
circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to 'alarm American
citizens' with the facts. The world is quickly going to become 'a different
place', and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become
totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to
be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy
America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a
front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an
infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their
destiny'.
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which
America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be,
instead, 'homegrown' -- having attended and been educated in our own schools
and universities right here in the U.. S. He says to look for 'students' who
frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East .. These young terrorists
will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully
understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand
a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and
uneducated about the terrorist threats we will, inevitably, face. America still has only have a handful of
Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it
is critical that we change that fact SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an
intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on
satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel
's,Ireland 's and England 's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from
an infiltration perspective as well as to trust 'aware' citizens to help. We
need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government
continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we
'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand
the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our
Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five
major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to
check it out. In fact, in Chicago , someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well
'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by
citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be
quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves. But, unfortunately,
America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to
fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to
understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of
defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children
here inAmerica who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were
'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that
had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get
there. (In New York City , this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed
upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terrorist emergency.
He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the
schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel .
Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one
another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all
have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and
follow..
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan
that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off
EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., as this is the
preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that
their bombs are detonated...
How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event
you cannot speak? You need to have a plan...
