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1) Our airport technology is outdated.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.
We should give asylum to, and hire, Christians from Muslim countries, people who speak the language and have reason to hate Islam.
might want question your source and not rely on emails so much

“We should give asylum to, and hire, Christians from Muslim countries, people who speak the language and have reason to hate Islam.”
I don’t know if it is true or not, but I read somewhere it is impossible to get them to sign on because their entire families would be killed immediately...
That said, I think his advice on how to prepare is good and we ought to listen!
And that is precisely the logic liberals use. Frightening.
Regardless, he makes good points. Terrorists do not need to hijack airplanes to create havoc. A van loaded with explosives detonated in an under-river tunnel like NY’s Holland or Lincoln tunnels. Terrorists walking into a crowded shopping mall with guns and lots of ammo. A Beslan-like school massacre. There are lots of possibilities.
This has always been what I have been expecting to happen. No security at all to get through to do this kind of thing; the impact would be almost as big.
One would thing they are here already and building up strength to make a big hit.
911 didn't make those issues irrelevant. Half the country could be wiped out and the ecocrooks would still be saying that global warming is a bigger problem.
We are Still MUCH TOO COMPLACENT
We have LONG been at peace here is America. Will we not realize that the world our world has indeed, CHANGED?
We are not aware of the dangers that surround us.
We are too busy on the computer, FaceBook, Twitter,texting, Watching TV, entertaining ourselves to death, gaming, ... being totally oblivious of the changes in our nation.
We STILL believe it it ‘bad happenings’ somewhere else. NOT HERE. MOO!
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
Connected thru LAX on a flight to Australia a few years back. It was just after Xmas, a late evening flight, when many of the airlines flying to the far east and western Pacific depart. Unbelievable the number of people milling around in the international departure area with boxes & suitcases piled on top of one another. Filipinos were without question the worse ...

Juval Aviv, head of the New York-based intelligence company Interfor and a special consultant to the U.S. Congress, told Fox News his information is based primarily on intelligence "floating in Europe and the Middle East." An event is "imminent and around the corner here in the United States," he said. "It could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could happen in the next few months. Ninety days at the most." l> Terrorists will try to carry out an attack on the United States within the next 90 days, a former Israeli counterterrorism intelligence officer predicts.
Is the info accurate or not?
While there may indeed be more than a little "urban legend" involved here, this is one of those items that would fit GungaDan's "fake but true" meme. I don't know about all y'all, but I am dead sure we will have another "big event." Yes, US "security" is reactionary. Yes, America is full of easy targets. Yes, the enemy already walks among us, and we can't even speak his name. islam
He got the underwear part right but completely missed his predictions.
#1- I’m retired NYPD and worked at the WTC. In terrorist training afterward we always trained for “WHEN” not “IF”. Of course we’re going to be attacked again. Get real.
#2- I was at a large post office recently. I left my back pack behind with a laptop in it. I realized about 1 hour later. I went back and was concerned that I was going to be greeted by the Bomb Squad. It was still sitting there untouched.
Whilst the email may have been “Snoped”, he does have a book out that is evidently worth a read, even IF it only re-affirms some common sense things to do for your security.
(And no, this is not a plug for sales on the book!)
You are so right. Maybe this is another posting of a past warning but the fact remains, the suggestions and the information in it are just as relevant today as they were when first released..maybe even more so. I was reading the article on Osama bin Laden’s son’s new book this morning and saw these sentences:
‘When they became young adults, their father asked them to volunteer for suicide missions. When Omar protested, bin Laden was quoted as replying: “You hold no more a place in my heart than any man or boy in the entire country. This is true for all my sons.”
It was then, Omar recounted, that he “finally knew exactly where I stood. My father hated his enemies more than he loved his sons.”
“In the book, Omar described how one day, while sitting with his father on the mountain, bin Laden told him about his plan is to destroy the U.S. from within.”
Americans make the mistake of believing that everyone in the world thinks like we do...and they don’t. Plain and simple...there are huge numbers out there that only want to kill us because we are not a Muslim country. One can believe this political correctness and this humanity and this “people won’t like us” crap if they want to but there are those who just want us dead....and there is nothing we have done to them....we just happen not to be their kind of Muslim.
This is true for roughly half of our population.
