FROM THE C.O. OF MOSSAD / PLEASE READ

A week ago, I was able to attend a dinner with Juval Aviv - the
Israeli Agent who the movie "Munich" was about... 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. Tonight he shared
information that EVERY American needs to know but our government has
not shared. His bio is below, his book is "Staying Safe" and I
suggest you buy and read it.

First, I am going to share what he discussed in regard to the Bush
Administration, 9/11 and Iraq and then I will share his predictions
for the next attack on the U.S. (and he predicted the London subway
bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that
it would happen within a week - O'Reilly laughed and mocked him saying
that in a week he wanted him back on the show and unfortunately,
within a week the terrorist attack occured).

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 occured. His report specifically said they would use planes as
bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. The
Administration ridiculed him and refused to respond (Congress has
since hired him as a security consultant - but still the
Administration does not listen to him). Within a month 9/11
occured.

He didn't agree with going into Iraq - said it didn't make sense if
we wanted terrorists responsible for 9/11 (and also he believes in Golda
Meir's approach which was to bring justice to the terrorists but do
not take down civilians - killing civilians only creates more
terrorists - but similar to Bush, Israel's subsequent leaders were
not as insightful as Golda Meir) - however, when we did decide to
invade Iraq we should have learned from Israel's past mistakes. He
very articulately stated that Israel's greatest mistake against their
war on terror was to invade the West Bank and Gaza and stay there...
He said they should have done the proven anti-terrorist strategy
which was "Hit and Leave" instead of "Hit and Stay." Now we are
stuck in Iraq and it is worse than Vietnam - Iraq is the U.S.'s West Bank/
Gaza . He doesn't think we will ever be able to truly leave because
even when we are able to pull our troops back we will still have to
go back regularly which will keep us quagmired. We should have hit hard
and left immediately - or actually, we shouldn't have gone in at
all...

Now for the scary stuff.... He predicts the next attack on the U.S.
is coming within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes
because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as
the people on the plane will not go down quietly.
Aviv believes our airport security is a joke- we are being
reactionary versus looking at strategies that are effective.
1) our machines are outdated. They 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 -
we now have to take off our shoes, a group of idiots tried to bring
aboard liquid explosives - now we can't bring liquids on board. He
is waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on their
underwear and light up in a plane or in the terminal and then we will
all have to travel naked!
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates, he
says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they
will target busy times and on the front end when 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 I have done that for people myself) and then detonate the bags
BEFORE security even gets involved. Israel checks bags before people
can enter the airport.

Now, back to his predictions: He says the next attack will come in
the next few months and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide
bombers in places that people congregate: Disneyland, Las Vegas, Big
Cities (NY, SFO, Chicago, etc...) and there it will be shopping
malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, casinos, etc.. as well as
rural
America (Wyoming, Montana, etc...). The attack will be simultaneous
detonations around the country (they like big impact) 5-8 cities
including rural areas. They won't need to use suicide bombers
because at largely populated places like the MGM Grand in Vegas - they can
simply valet park!

He says this is well known in intelligence circles but our government
does not want to alarm Americans. However, he also said that Bush
will attack Iran and Syria before he leaves office (we are being
prepared for that! and I have to wonder if we are not hearing about
this impending attack so America will support attacking Iran and
Syria ?). In addition, since we don't have enough troops Bush will
likely use small, strategic nuclear weapons regardless that the
headlines the next day will read "US Nukes Islamic World" and the
world will be a different place to such an extent that global warming
will be irrevelent.

These are not conspiracy theories or crazy rantings. This is the man
(and we have all heard/read that the Bush Administration was warned
about 9/11 prior to it happening) who did the warning. He travels
regularly to the Middle East and he knows his stuff.
On a good note - he says we don't have to worry about being nuked -
he says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use
sophisticated weapons - they like suicide as the frontline approach.
He also says the next level of terrorists will not be coming from
abroad, but will be homegrown - having attended our schools and
universities - but will have traveled frequently back and forth to
the Middle East. They will know and understand Americans but we
won'tunderstand them - we still only have a handful of Arabic and Farsi
speaking people in our intelligence networks and we need that to
change he said...What can we do? From an intelligence perspective he says
the U.S .
needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence
but follow Israel, Ireland and England's example of human
intelligence both from an infiltration perspective as well as trust
citizens to
help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens but our
government treats us like babies and thinks we can't handle it and
will panic.

He did a test for Congress recently putting an empty briefcase in 5
major spots in 5 US cities and not one person called 911 or sought a
policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago - someone tried to
steal it! In Israel an unattended bag or package would be reported
in seconds with a citizen shouting "Unattended Bag" and the area cleared
slowly, calmly and immediately by the people themselves.
Unfortunately, we haven't hurt enough yet for us to be that
concerned....

He also discussed how many children were in preschool and
kindergarten after 9/11 without parents to pick them up and the schools
did not
have a plan. Do you have a plan with your kids, schools and families
if you cannot reach each other by phone? If you cannot return to
your house? If you cannot get to your child's school - do they know what
to do? We should all have a plan.

He said that our government's plan after the next attack is to
immediately cut-off EVERYONE's ability to use their telephone, cell
phone, blackberry because they don't want terrorists to be able to
talk to one another - do you have a plan if you cannot communicate
directly with those that you love?

Again - I recommend his book, "Staying Safe" and I also recommend we
heighten each other's attention now for the inevitable.... In fact,
this week the Today Show began with a segment that Al Qaeda was
resurfacing - the same kind of action on the Pakistani border
occurred before 9/11...

It is scary, but we do not have to panic, we just need to be aware....
Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has not been helpful and we
cannot change things until 2008. However, remember that when you
vote....
