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1) Our airport technology is outdated.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.
Well, if they tell the truth about the terrorism threat they might have to start telling the truth about a whole lot of other things - like America's current financial state - which would be an even deadlier mistake...for many politicians' futures.
oh, I agree! Being prepared is a great thing - one should always be prepared...
In this case, I think this e-mail could stir up a lot of fear and angst when it’s not needed. Right now - rather than running in panic - we need clear, logical minds to prevail.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was started by someone on the Political Left to deflect attention of the more vocal conservatives from the health care debacle. What better way to distract than to start a few small grassroots fires about the impending doom of the nation?
“If this being posted causes one person to be more aware or one family creating a plan for a major disruption this will have been worth it to post in spite of the failure of the predictions.”
And if it causes 5,000 people to dismiss warnings because it is a false retread?
Arabic speakers who are Jewish have been deemed not employable by the FBI because they are seen as not trustworthy in their interpretations.
So instead we have Fifth Column Arabs "translating" for us.
OK, to further explain my BS comment:
1) Why would Iran be so intensely after a nuke + a long range delivery vehicle? I would expect Iran to nuke us by any means possible. Nuking Israel is, in the Muslim view, only second to the nuking the Great Satan. I think his ‘advice’ about not being worried about a nuke is baloney. We should be very concerned about that and chem/bio.
2) Airport scanners look for more than metal. Another silliness comment.
3) We focus on security well before the airport. Its our PC govt that makes sure its unused and ineffective. He gets it wrong again.
Will another attack occur...of course. This is Capt Obvious territory. His advice about where and when are greatly in question.
I’d love to know exactly what you all are going to do to be prepared. I think there’s very little that can be done in the major scheme of things. Sure, you can take in supplies. That certainly doesn’t address the major questions of what happens when you run dry and how you deal w/ a govt thats looking for any excuse to enslave you. There are so many terrible contingencies that can’t be accounted for. The chest beaters here have NO clue.
What is false about the advice?Do you think it is false that there are still people who want to come here and kill us?
Did you read this and because the predictions didn’t come true dismiss the rest of the article?
Do you have a link to the predictions? I’d like to confirm that he indeed did make them, and if so when.
I think you are com[aring apples to oranges...
No, because he never made them. This e-mail is a hoax, he never predicted the London bombing or 9/11. It's fake. Do an Internet search of "Juval bombing London" and you'll find that this e-mail has been around for a while, and it's definitely a hoax.
You said the predictions were made four or five years ago. Now you say they weren’t made. Which is it?
Well, someday I hope to help with the intel community’s pathetic lack of linguists. I’m learning Arabic and will start with Farsi & Urdu soon. Pashtu is also undervalued; it’s the language of the Taliban.
In 1979 we had zero Farsi speakers at our embassy in Iran. We had one Arabic speaker in Lebanon in the 80s. We had no Pashtu speakers when the Russians invaded Afghanistan, and actually had to ask a Russian to translate for us to negotiate the release of a hostage held by some Afghan warlords (or something like that...I’ve forgotten the details).
We don’t need more French and Spanish speakers. We need people who can master the “hard” languages. Those funky scripts may look intimidating but they’re really not so bad. Learn Arabic, Farsi, etc. so someday others won’t have to!

Please read the original post; the e-mail claimed that Juval made these predictions 4-5 years ago. If he did make them, they didn’t come true, meaning this e-mail is false (it states things happened that didn’t happen). And since he did not make them, it is false.
Both point to the fact that this is a bogus e-mail.
thanks, bfl
That said, I think his advice on how to prepare is good and we ought to listen!

I agree! I have always wondered why we have not dealt with suicide bomber like Israel yet. It is only a matter of time.
“Feels true” - May not be correct, but his “conclusions” are certainly valid.
Of course, when the next terrorist bomb is stolen in Chicago, who gets the first laugh? The last laugh?
Our government always fights the “last war” and “assumes the next war will be fought the same way.” And, always promotes only those who give the “right” answer.
bflr
INDEED.
THANKS MUCH.
HOWEVER, I believe they WILL use nukes, too.
