Oh really?
And you pulled your head out of where to come to that unbrilliant conclusion?
Personally, I think the source is too conservative in his warning.
Plausible.
However, it doesn’t take a Mossad agent to tell that whatever the timing, such things are looming closer and closer.
I don’t know if the purported source is a shyster, double agent or a crazy.
I just know that an attack is looming closer and closer and will be devastating in a significant number of locations and that American life will never be the same afterwards.
This has been floating around for a while...several of the claims cannot be validated that are made in this email. I received this email months ago and did as much research as I could and I would say this is more propoganda than fact unfortunately.
I wish people wouldn’t send this crap out, I get the message and their intent however if people keep doing this without verifiable facts then it just distracts.
No Mecca = no Islam = no more Islamic converts
Simplicity.
HOW ARE YOUR LEVELS DEAR HEART?
AND OTHERWISE?
Under obama, Conservatives and Christians will be outside the law and will be dealt with harshly.
Do not delude yourself in to thinking that the incident on the arliner was a prevented terrorists attack. It occurred and ended exactly as it was planned. This was a feint to distract the public from the ongoing obama care process. Nothing more.
You are correct. Islam is a peaceful religion. Ask any Jew.
Thank you Quix for the ping, thank you Maneesh for posting.
This did not check out on snopes HOWEVER they quibbled about some of Aviv Tuval’s claims to what his background is.
That does not change the fact that he makes excellent points, gives each rational person some real food for thought.
I will edit out the unverified claims about his having predicted the London bombings and his involvement in spy networks, I will include his bona fides, such as the names of the book[s] he wrote, and the firm he is currently involved in, and then I will send this info on to my email buddies.
Sigh.
Thanks again.

Flight 103
A New Book By Juval Aviv
Released January 24, 2008 from Century, a division of The Random House Group
Available at amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and at major book retailers in the UK.
Flight 103 is the next novel in Juval Aviv’s Sam Woolfman series. In Flight 103, Sam Woolfman is about to be plunged into the most deadlly conspiracy of his career, as the former Mossad agent is called out of retirement to investigate a terror attack on an American jet that has crashed in the Scottish village of Lockerbie. A bomb detonated inside the aircraft, but who planted it? Who were they working for? And who were they really trying to kill.
As he starts to unravel the mystery, a global conspiracy of terrifying proportions takes shape. And if he finds the real answer, Sam knows he will be the next to die.
The Sam Woolfman series is now being published using the pseudonym Sam Green. Flight 103 and all subsequent books in the series will use that name. Max can still be found under the name Juval Aviv.

Not to be snotty, I’m glad you thought it important enough to post.
However, if you had googled or bing’ed it, you would have seen it’s made it’s way around the ‘net, and is said to be a fake.
Certainly though, it doesn’t belong in News. Chat or Blogger, perhaps?
Thanks for caring and sharing.
Sobering indeed! Thanks, Quix! Will pass this on via e-mail!

Juval Aviv has shared information EVERY American needs to know — 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 guy tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we cannot bring liquids on board. And when some suicidal maniac pours liquid explosive on his underwear, 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. 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, the security staff inspects bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Terrorist attacks here in America 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 will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as rural America, the inter-lands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.). These will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, again, including rural areas.
Terrorists will not 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. Terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons, they like to use suicide as a front-line approach.
It is cheap, it is easy, it is effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to meet their destiny.
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 US.
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 will not know / understand a thing about them.
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 SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the US needs to stop relying so much on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to follow Israel, Ireland, and England 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 US government continues to treat us, its citizens, like babies, as if we cannot handle the truth and that we will panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. This is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created / executed a security test for our Congress, by placing empty briefcases 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 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.
America has not been hurt enough by terrorism for those in government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or to understand that it is their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorists.
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 is agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children schools and demand the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel. Does your family know what to do if you cannot 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 to follow.
The US 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 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. Make contingency plans with those you care about.
Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, than to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.
... a sensible, valuable warning.

You might want to use the version at post 117, which has been cleaned up a bit.
Ping to post 117.
Some schools may not have plans, but I know the school where I was teaching at the time of the 9/11 attack DID have a plan and they practiced it several times when I was there. Of course, parents should make themselves aware of what plan their kid’s school has, and if they don’t have ones they do need to insist that they develop one, but I am betting most schools in this country DO have something already in place.
