Well times change. Al Jazeera just released a voice-verified taped recording of bin Laden that I believe is a signal to imbedded terrorist cells on U.S. soil to begin suicide bomber and other forms of terrorist attacks imminently.

Many citizens might assume bin Laden would try to stage another 9/11 style attack of monumental proportions, as they did when the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were attacked on 9/11/2001, but terrorists don't operate like that. Terrorists strike soft targets that have the least security, and since the most likely targets were identified long ago by anti-terror experts publicly, those potential targets are the least likely to be attacked.

Just as I accurately predicted the protracted and unwinnable War On Iraq in "If I Were Saddam" I can accurately predict bin Laden will attack soft targets like packed movie theaters, night clubs, etc., all over the U.S., and particularly in smaller "heartland" towns and cities like right where I live near Medford, Oregon.

The reason I am suddenly changing my tune is a conglomeration of intelligence that points to imminent domestic attacks. We have reports that Middle-Eastern men have purchased or attempted to purchase mass quantities of "throw-away" cellular telephones. Those telephones can be used to communicate securely, and they can be used to detonate secreted bombs like the ones being used in Iraq to kill U.S. troops on an almost daily basis. We also know bin Laden is under pressure since at least four of his top al Qaeda operatives were killed in a CIA attack on a remote Pakistani village, using an unmanned drone firing Hellfire Missiles at a home where the operatives had been lured to attend a dinner celebration.

Bin Laden has something to prove now. He is about to exploit and expose all the lies being told to the American public by the Bush Administration. If we are to believe the Bush BS, we have not been attacked since 9/11/01 because Bush has implemented strict and sweeping security measures through the Office of Homeland Security, up to and including unconstitutional orders to use electronic eavesdropping without required warrants on U.S. citizens in alleged contact with suspected terrorists overseas.

I can already foresee the conspiracy nuts writing articles claiming the coming terrorist attacks are Bush-arranged to quell the growing calls for his impeachment and the calls for American forces to be withdrawn from Iraq. But one of the claims bin Laden makes in this latest correspondence is that he has chosen not to attack citizens on U.S. soil until now, and I believe bin Laden is now going to prove it.

All this time since 9/11/2001, President Bush has refused to slam our northern and southern borders shut Soviet-style. Just about anyone can successfully cross our borders carrying illegal immigrants, illegal drugs, weaponry, ammunition, explosives and even shoulder-fired Russian SA-7 anti-aircraft missiles and RPG shoulder-fired grenade launchers. The Bush people have always insisted it to be an impossible task to close our borders, while the former Soviet Union proved it could do so on borders considerably larger than our own. The fact is, Bush & Company have refused to lock-up our borders in deference to (what a shock!) large, multi-national corporations operating in the United States, who require cheap, illegal labor. When, and not if now, bin Laden's forces begin to attack as I've predicted here, all the lies Bush has been telling us will be exposed, and many American citizens will die and be maimed to prove Bush the liar he is.

As I wrote in the previous articles, bin Laden has chosen not to attack Americans on U.S. soil to date, because strategically, it would prove to be a bad move. That was the only incorrect prediction I made in "If I Were Saddam". Terror attacks on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil would only serve to unify Americans against al Qaeda, and would dispel the growing sentiment of Americans to leave Iraq.

But the layout of the current chess board has changed. Bush's lies that our alleged security measures have prevented such attacks is tantamount to Bush's onerous challenge to "Bring It On", which resulted in the terrorist elements in Iraq to "bring it on" and accelerate the deaths and maimings of American soldiers in Iraq. It would be a great service to our troops serving overseas if someone would stick a sock in Bush's mouth and duct-tape it in place. Hope springs eternal.

In the meantime, I am sticking my neck out as I'm known for, and I am warning Americans nationwide to stay away from large, concentrated groups of people. You ignore this warning at your extreme peril -- and those you love. I believe bin Laden has decided now is the time to begin terror operations in the United States, and if I am right, these attacks will be on heartland America -- just to show all you doubters just how easy it is to get past all this alleged "security" Bush & Company have been touting.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this article reaches you just before the first attacks take place.
