i've been saying a lot of this for years. when it happens, the dead will be
proud we didn't listen in on the terrorists' phone calls! but, america has
a short attention span, have not been personally affected in recent years
and really don't seem to care anymore. our patiotism lasted just about 3
weeks after 9/11 and that is longer than usual. carole
This is very interesting...please read...
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. (Aviv's bio is noted at end.)
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.
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 d own 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1) Our airport technology is outdated.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 go to the restroom, 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 Francis-co, 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 issue like
global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he 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 rig
ht 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
terroristic 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 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 edu cate 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 ours 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 terroristic 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 you ngest 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.
