Whoa.. He predicted 9-11 on the O'Reilly show a week before the attack? Who is this guy?! Special thanks Lauren and Larry for introducing us to this fascinating and long email.
"We got the email below from my retired Colonel father-in-law; it's one of many we've received. *Best* part is the "if you forward this...be sure to remove my name". The email, of course, included EVERYONE's names and email addresses! ROTFL
Not one ounce of info provided in the email is factual. Not a bit! LOL
We "Snopes" everything he sends and 9 times out of 10, they're hoaxes... Just don't have the heart to tell him so any more. We do love the man dearly. At least it's a good laugh a few times a week and we're blessed that he doesn't inundate us with religious emails. He's just an old-school traditional Republican who was in the Army a loooong time. And I think he doesn't realize he's a bit of an Islamofacsist... deep down inside the brown guys scare him. But I do love him and wouldn't trade him for the world - he's the best father-in-law a girl could have (and he's been mine for almost 24 years).
I feel for you, man.
Best regards,
Lauren (and Larry) Goulet

This piece is worth reading. It presents a realistic situation that we all
need to be aware of and share with family and friends. MP

Food for thought. I don't know who wrote it, but the
credentials are real enough, and Juval Aviv is,
indeed, the person described.
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent whom 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. In a lecture in NYC a few weeks
ago he shared information that EVERY American needs to
know but our government has not shared. His bio is
below, his book is "Staying Safe".
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. 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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 a 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 the US will attack Iran and
Syria before Bush leaves office. In addition, since we
don't have enough troops The US 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 irrelevant.
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't
understand 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 sh ould
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?
Last 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 panic, we just need to
be aware.... Unfortunately, the current Administration
has not been helpful and we can not change things
until 2008.
