Get Ready!

With the attempted Christmas bombing fresh in mind, I thought this was a bit of important information.  See the Truth or Fiction web site for comments about this story.

Advice from an Israeli  Agent

Juval  Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie 'Munich' was based. He was Golda  Meir's bodyguard, and 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 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.  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:

1) Our airport technology is  outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of  plastic..

2) 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.

3) 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. The interlands (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 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 pay attention  to, and 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.

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 in America 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,  of how to respond 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, just 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, EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries,  etc., will immediately be cut-off, 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 to each other? You need to have a plan.

If  you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don't stop there.  In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to.  Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in  place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find  you needed  them.

If  you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever  occurs -- good for you! However, in the event  something does happen, and  even moreso, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt  you  forever.

Telling  yourself after the fact, "I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it  as so much trash from old Bill Jones, plus, I just didn't believe it", will not  change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead  of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a  sensible, valuable warning.
