Seven Years Later: The Next Targets
September 11, 2008
Today is the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Although polls show Americans are less fearful of another terrorist attack now than at any time since that fateful day, the threat remains extremely high--in fact, much higher and more complex than most Americans dare comprehend. A new study conducted for the Pentagon by a group called Forecasting International lays it out in chilling detail:
Marvin J. Cetron, the futurist who predicted 9/11, and who embarrassed the intelligence community with his study “Terror 2000,” said the State Department requested the reference to terrorists using a jet aircraft as a weapon be deleted from the report. Officials feared it might give the terrorists an idea they hadn’t already thought of, Cetron said during an exclusive interview with Newsmax.
"I no longer worry about giving the bad guys ideas. Ordinary citizens need to know where the dangers lie," Cetron said.
This analysis of several possible prime targets of terrorism is based on a new study that Cetron’s Forecasting International carried out for the Pentagon. None of this information is classified.
Although the oft-mentioned threat of a “suitcase” nuclear weapon or a dirty bomb has been discussed widely, and is a possibility, the consequences of attacking lesser, non-nuclear threats can be dire.
Members of the armed forces, the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, and many other agencies agree that the question isn’t whether America will be attacked on its own soil again. It’s only a question of when.
The report outlines ten scenarios that would wreak financial and pyschological havoc in the United States. We've already discussed some of them here at CBN News. Read the entire piece, though, and prepare for a serious reality check.
