A police officer friend of mine just forwarded me this…

  Subject: Fwd: Israeli security vs. North American Security.....
   Israeli Security vs American/Canadian Security
 
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.

In a lecture in   New York City  a  few weeks ago, 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.  But, 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1) Our airport technology is outdated.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 (  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 have 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 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, to respond to 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, 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, 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...

If you believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send to every concerned parent or guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whatever and whomever.  Nothing will happen if you choose not  to do so, but in the event it does happen, this particular email will haunt you...."I should have sent this to..... ", but I didn't  believe it  and just deleted it as so much trash from old Bill Jones!!!

AN ABSOLUTE  MUST READ FOR EVERY AMERICAN & CANADIAN!

                              READ AND JUST PASS IT ON.

I searched Juval Aviv on snopes......and this stuff is FALSE....

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/soapbox/juvalaviv.asp   He initially issued the "terrorists will hit us simulataneously in 7 or 8 cities" back in July 2005.......   He was on the O'Reilly show after the London attacks (in 2005) and, at that time, predicted the US would be attacked imminently.....which did not occur.....

Of course, that action plan won’t spawn any more terrorists … right?

Possibly.  The key is to control the battlefield. 

Whether you are thinking strategically or tactically, the key to success is choosing the ground you fight on. 

The person fighting in the defensive posture finds it more difficult to maneuver.  And thus their choices are more limited.  For instance, you can’t blow up a school if you are fighting for your life against people trained to kill you in your own neighborhood.

If you mean to say that we need to take the battle to the terrorists - I am with you. No nation has ever won being on the defensive - it’s practically a truism. But indiscriminate destruction of others in guerrilla warfare remains the choice of those that have surrendered the thinking process.

  Your opinion of General McChrystals' tactics and strategy?
Jan 16, 2010 5:18 pm

General McChrystal, like most special operators is a supreme tactician, especially in small units.  With the exception of the heavy reliance on UAVs, so far the units operating there are doing a great job.  This is likely due to Gen. McChrystal’s influence.  The UAV operation, in an effort to keep American casualties down, is a bit short-sighted I’m afraid.  All military technologies should be utilized to enhance, not replace, men on the ground. 

I’m not exactly sure what his overarching strategy is.  It seems to be narrowly focused.  Such as clearing out individual Taliban cells as opposed to a multi-pronged approach.  I feel that he hasn’t quite gamed out the situation and is only slightly proactive, and working mainly as a reactive operation.

Of course, I am not privy to any briefings he may be receiving or getting.  The biggest issue is that the direct action guys are likely taking a back seat to special ops guys (main job is NOT DA).  Just like Norman Schwarzkopf’s narrow-mindedness kept the special ops guys out of the fray during Desert Storm. 

Time will tell.
