Former Congressman says U.S. helped hide bin Laden while using him as excuse to invade Afghanistan

The passion that former Congressman Curt Weldon has for supporting firefighters is clear whenever he speaks on the subject. And as he explained in an interview yesterday on The Jimmy Dore Show, it is because of that passion that he has come to re-examine what actually happened to the three World Trade Center towers on 9/11.

While a significant part of his interview with the popular podcaster was devoted to his longtime advocacy on behalf of firefighters, Weldon also talked about two areas of 9/11 that he is asking the Trump administration to investigate through a presidential task force with subpoena power.

One is what Weldon feels were catastrophic intelligence failures by the government that allowed 9/11 to happen. He blames the CIA for refusing to look at evidence that chronicled al-Qaeda cells in the U.S., and he says that Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and his Able Danger team briefed the 9/11 Commission about terrorist threats, but what they shared was kept out of the 9/11 Commission Report.

“[Philip] Zelikow led a whitewash,” Weldon said. “We could have stopped 9/11 from ever happening. The 9/11 Commission was a cover-up, by both parties. And I’m not some conspiracy theorist.”

One incredible piece of information Weldon shared was that the U.S. not only knew where Osama bin Laden was when it invaded Afghanistan, but it helped to hide him in the Balochistan region, which mainly overlaps Iran and Pakistan.

“We sent thousands of American kids into Afghanistan looking for bin Laden,” he said. “Twenty-five hundred came back dead. Thousands more came back injured. Yet it was America that knew, and helped place bin Laden in Balochistan after 9/11 while we sent kids to die in Afghanistan. It’s outrageous.”

Truth about 9/11, justice for firefighters

Of course, the aspect of 9/11 that Weldon and Dore discussed that is of particular interest to the 9/11 Truth Movement dealt with the evidence for the controlled demolition of the towers. Dore mentioned an interview he did a year ago with Professor Leroy Hulsey of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, whose study on Building 7 Dore says completely “debunked” the claims of the official report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

“Building 7 did not fall down the way the government said it did,” Dore commented.

Weldon explained that while he is relatively new to the scientific aspect of the WTC evidence, he is determined to expose the truth for the 343 firefighters who died in the towers and their families.

He described how he was given a tour of the damage from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by firefighter Ray Downey and that Downey himself later died when the North Tower came down on 9/11.

Weldon also recounted the story of Battalion Chief Orio Palmer, who we can hear on recordings describing his ascent, along with other firefighters, in the South Tower. They took a freight elevator about halfway up the building and then walked nearly 40 floors more to reach the impact floors. As Weldon explained, Palmer reported that he saw two fires that could easily have been extinguished. Five minutes later, the building came down.

It is on behalf these and other heroes that Weldon is determined to fight for a new investigation of 9/11.

“Now I’m not an engineer or an architect, but 3,000 engineers and architects risked their professions to come out and say the NIST report is a bunch of crap, that there’s no modeling to support what they say, that there was no investigation of explosive materials after the attack occurred. Ten thousand families lost their loved ones, 343 firefighters, the police officers, the Port Authority people, the damage around the world … We can’t just let that pass.”

From Architects & Engineers for 9/11Truth and filmmaker, Dylan Avery comes this short documentary that is both hauntingly beautiful in its presentation and startlingly grim in its revelations. 


Join civil engineer, Jonathan Cole through an informational odyssey as he revisits the controversy surrounding the impossible destruction of towers 1, 2 and 7 on September 11th 2001, and how his research, along with the research of others, has pulled the rug out from under the conclusions offered by the federal government on why those three buildings ultimately failed. 

Through Cole's testimony, and that of mechanical engineer, Tony Szamboti, a dark picture comes into focus that demonstrates that not only is the official story of what killed so many people on America's darkest day provably false but that the federal government actively and willfully turned a blind eye to the observable facts during its unscientific investigation of the building collapses. 

In a little over twenty minutes, Thirty Seconds of Silence reveals more about the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers on 9/11 than the media has revealed to the public in the over twenty years since the event took place.
