Take the following two posts into heart- BE CAREFUL and stay apprised of where your loved ones are. Be aware of your surroundings over the next few months. National security expert, Col. Stanislav Lunev, is the highest-ranking military officer ever to defect from Russia, Col. Lunev has served as a consultant to the CIA, the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency He called NewsMax.com and gave the following analysis: 1. Last year, Col. Lunev wrote that the U.S. had been the main target of terrorist groups and the nations that support them. The actions today against the U.S. should not be surprising. 2. The successful attack today by this well organized terrorist group is the result of almost ten years of a deterioration of America's national security appaparatus - including the emascualtion of American intelligence gathering capabilities. 3. American officials and experts have been saying the threat of an attack like this or worse has been a real one. Little or nothing was done, though many knew the threat was real. 4. What countries are involved is difficult to say. It is Col. Lunev's belief that more than one country was involved in this operation - and perhaps several. 5. Do not forget that Russia remains the number one sponsor of training for terrorist nations. You will find the countries behind this will have very close ties to Russia's military and intelligence agencies. 6. Simple logic cannot be applied to the behavior of these terrorist groups and states. I believe that the terrorist acts conducted could be the first wave of more significant acts that could take place - even in the next few days. Perhaps for the next 3 days there will be quiet, and then another strike, perhaps more massive than those already delivered. 7. These people are not stupid. They'll use all weapons available to them. Do not underestimate the brutality of these people. The next time, even in the next several days, do not exclude the possibilty they will use chemical, nuclear and biological weapons against America.
