March 23, 2025
Introduction.
The year is 2025, and Donald J. Trump has reclaimed the presidency. Voices once championed as fearless insurgents against the Washington establishment—
@AGPamBondi (now U.S. Attorney General),
@FBIDirectorKash (new FBI Director),
@FBIDDBongino (Deputy FBI Director),
@DNIGabbard (Director of National Intelligence), and
(CIA Director)—have gone conspicuously silent about the very issues that once fueled their public personas. Gone are the incendiary promises of unveiling the Epstein files, draining the swamp, and exposing the “Deep State” actors behind endless wars. Instead, the news cycle is dominated by stories of drug interdictions, deportations, and perpetuating overseas conflicts.
Standing apart from this deafening hush, however, are the revelations of former Congressman Curt Weldon. Once the Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Weldon has blown the whistle on intelligence failures tied to 9/11. On a recent podcast episode of @TheRedactedInc seen here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UTSOm6LuN0w, Curt asserts that the official narrative conceals a host of treacherous decisions by U.S. agencies—decisions that may have knowingly allowed a deadly terrorist attack, covered up Osama bin Laden’s location, and effectively obliterated an opportunity to prevent the deadliest strike on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
Weldon’s account, long marginalized, has resurfaced at a moment when WLBJ’s proposed RICO class action found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjkPMy1faIRsz0J8CXCsJCCylH_eo9HD/view seeks to unmask the very networks—defense corporations, think-tanks, intelligence operatives—that profit from secrecy and perpetual war. Just as disturbing, we now find an administration ostensibly committed to confronting those cabals but, in practice, too compromised to do more than remove security clearances from a few figureheads. The promise of draining the swamp has met an unyielding, deeply entrenched machine.
This exposé strives to illustrate Curt Weldon’s critical disclosures, the breadth of the conspiracy he alleges, and what it means when the current administration retreats from transparency. We will also lay out tangible steps that citizens, activists, and whistleblowers can take to reclaim accountability. If these offices—Attorney General, FBI Director, CIA Director—can be captured or silenced by shadowy interests, perhaps the only remaining hope lies with the determined actions of everyday people and bold legal measures like WLBJ’s RICO suit.
I. Curt Weldon’s Path: From Firefighter to the Halls of Power.
Curt Weldon never intended to become a fixture of the Washington establishment. He was a volunteer firefighter—eventually a fire chief—before serving in Congress for two decades. From these beginnings, Weldon found a natural camaraderie with first responders. Upon his arrival in Washington, he founded the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, forging alliances that cut across party lines and encompassed some of the most influential figures on Capitol Hill.
His background granted him a unique vantage point for intelligence oversight. As Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Weldon oversaw the allocation of $180 billion in research and development spending for the U.S. Department of Defense. In the late 1990s, he became aware of advanced data-mining systems that the Pentagon was experimenting with—efforts to track potential terrorist threats by integrating disparate databases. Weldon explains how, in 1999, he pressed the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Director of the FBI, and the Deputy Director of the CIA to establish a single “fusion center” for all intelligence. Shockingly, he was rebuffed at the highest levels, especially by the CIA.
Key Point.
Weldon’s experiences in 1993, touring the World Trade Center after the first bombing and speaking to firefighting legend Ray Downey, convinced him another large-scale attack was on the horizon. He sought a centralized intelligence-sharing approach. The CIA refused.
II. The Catalyst: Able Danger.
Central to Weldon’s allegations is Able Danger, a secretive Pentagon intelligence project authorized by then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Hugh Shelton. Funded by Weldon’s own subcommittee, Able Danger identified Mohamed Atta and multiple Al Qaeda cells one year prior to 9/11. According to Colonel Tony Shaffer, Commander Scott Philpot, Dr. Eileen Priesser, and others directly involved, the Able Danger team had actual charts naming and picturing terrorists who would hijack planes on September 11.
Despite the magnitude of this intelligence, attempts to pass it along to the Department of Justice were stifled. Weldon repeatedly confronted Donald Rumsfeld’s Department of Defense to allow these Able Danger analysts to testify before Congress. He secured the signatures of 250 House members demanding open hearings. Rumsfeld’s Pentagon stonewalled it.
Smoking Gun
Weldon calls the 9/11 Commission a “cover-up,” largely orchestrated by Executive Director Philip Zelikow and aided by commissioners like Jamie Gorelick, the author of the “firewall memo” that restricted intelligence sharing. The Commission effectively ignored Able Danger’s findings.
III. The 9/11 Commission Whitewash
Weldon’s recurring theme is that the 9/11 Commission was not merely flawed—it was deliberately manipulated to bury disturbing truths. As evidence, he points to:
1. Tony Shaffer’s Security Clearance Revocation
Colonel Shaffer, upon trying to brief the 9/11 Commission about Able Danger, found his clearance yanked. His book, Dark Heart, had its initial print run (10,000 copies) destroyed by the government. Why? Because it mentioned a meeting with Zelikow in Kabul.
2. Exclusion of “Able Danger” in Official Reports
No chapter in the official Commission Report addresses Able Danger’s year-ahead identification of Atta. Critical leads or names were omitted.
3. Zelikow’s Questionable Role
Zelikow ran the day-to-day operation of the Commission, shaping both staff assignments and final conclusions. Able Danger’s data did not fit the official storyline. It was summarily excised.
Consequence
This allowed the U.S. government to refocus national outrage on a “War on Terror” in Afghanistan, an invasion of Iraq, and ultimately, two decades of conflict that served many corporate and political agendas.
IV. Bin Laden in Iran? Trillions Spent, Thousands Dead
Particularly incendiary is Weldon’s claim that Osama bin Laden was not in Afghanistan—at least not for most of the post-9/11 period—and that U.S. intelligence knew he was sheltered in Iran’s Baluchistan region. He recounts how his personal intelligence contacts (including a CIA “NOC,” a falconry expert with royal Gulf connections, and several ex-military insiders) repeatedly reported bin Laden’s presence near the Iran-Pakistan border. When Weldon raised this in classified briefings, officials invariably parried with a tepid, “We have similar reports but can neither confirm nor deny.”
Yet the government pressed on, sending American troops to fight in Afghanistan, presumably “to get bin Laden.” The toll included over 2,400 U.S. service members dead and tens of thousands more wounded or suffering from long-term trauma. Not to forget all the innocent Afghans.
Implication
If the Bush Administration, and later the Obama Administration, were aware bin Laden had slipped into Iran, then the official justification for the quagmire in Afghanistan is built on deception—or worse, an intentional misdirection to uphold other undisclosed agendas.
V. The Price of Speaking Up: The Targeting of Curt Weldon
Weldon’s candor came at a high personal cost. With 20 years in Congress and backing from figures like John McCain, Joe Biden, and even Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for top committee positions, he had a sterling reputation—until he started demanding public hearings on Able Danger.
Within weeks, the FBI raided his daughter’s home under the pretext of a corruption probe. Weldon was never charged, yet the ensuing media spectacle quashed his re-election bid. The once-powerful Vice Chair of Armed Services found himself marginalized and branded as a conspiracy theorist—even though many high-profile intelligence figures (Jim Woolsey, Porter Goss) had once praised his oversight work.
Recurrent Playbook
Smear campaigns, legal intimidation, and associating whistleblowers with “fringe” views are standard tactics for neutralizing genuine threats to the covert status quo.
VI. Welcome to 2025: The Silence of the Outsiders
Jump forward to 2025, where the country has witnessed the surprising return of @realDonaldTrump to the White House. Curiously, the individuals occupying the top echelons of national security power circles are the same “disruptors” who once promised to root out “Deep State” corruption:
Pam Bondi (Attorney General): Once a crusader in Florida against sweetheart deals for Jeffrey Epstein, she now manages the Department of Justice. Epstein’s files remain sealed, with no major moves to unmask the powerful ring that orchestrated decades of sexual blackmail.
Kash Patel (FBI Director): Former staffer for House intelligence probes into FISA abuses, now in the seat that J. Edgar Hoover once occupied. The FBI, however, dedicates most of its resources to drug busts and deportations rather than investigating Able Danger or the 9/11 Commission fiasco.
Dan Bongino (Deputy FBI Director): Ex-Secret Service agent turned media firebrand, Bongino built his brand attacking the “Swamp.” Oddly, nothing emerges about CIA infiltration or blackmail networks from the second-highest seat at the Bureau.
Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence): The one-time Democratic presidential hopeful and outspoken critic of regime-change wars. Now in charge of 17 intelligence agencies, yet she has not revisited any aspect of 9/11. No new intel disclosures appear forthcoming.
John Ratcliffe (CIA Director): Once a key skeptic of intelligence overreach, he now sits atop Langley. If there truly was evidence that the CIA suppressed Able Danger or helped relocate bin Laden, Ratcliffe has the authority to reveal it. But so far—silence.
Dismal Reality
It appears the invisible hand Weldon warned of has either coerced or co-opted them. Gone are the fervent promises about declassifying hidden 9/11 data, launching real investigations, or exposing the hundreds of elites implicated in Epstein’s orbit.
VII. Who Is Behind the Deep State?
As Weldon’s accounts suggest, the “Deep State” is not a single monolith, but rather as WLBJ claims in His proposed RICO complaint, a fusion of:
1. Defense Contractors (MIC): Corporations such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman who make billions from sustained military operations. Permanent war means permanent profit.
2. Corporate Media and Think Tanks: Organizations like the Atlantic Council, Rand Corporation, and others perpetuate hawkish policies, funded by the same arms manufacturers and foreign governments eager for conflict. Media outlets rarely deviate from these narratives.
3. Intelligence Syndicates: Rogue elements within the CIA, NSA, DIA, and even the Iranian IRGC have vested interests in hush-hush deals, arms sales, and covert manipulations that would never withstand public scrutiny.
4. Political Middlemen: Lobbyists, ex-officials, and informal power-brokers who broker deals and trade in classified secrets. Their currency includes privileged access, government contracts, even blackmail material (as rumored in the Epstein trove). Perhaps, revoking security clearances is a good first step to end the sale of classified intelligence.
The Common Thread
This alliance thrives on secrecy. It crushes or buys off any politician, official, or whistleblower who might threaten the money flow of sustained conflict.
VIII. WLBJ’s Proposed RICO Class Action: A Citizen’s Sword of Damocles
Amid this suffocating environment, WLBJ’s proposed RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) class action seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjkPMy1faIRsz0J8CXCsJCCylH_eo9HD/view stands as a potential game-changer. By its nature, RICO litigation targets patterns of criminal enterprise—a fitting framework if indeed multiple players across government, industry, and intelligence conspired to hide or manipulate vital 9/11 data. Consider how RICO might unravel this network:
1. Compelling Discovery
If a judge allows a RICO suit to proceed, plaintiffs can demand disclosure of documents the government or corporations would prefer to keep sealed. This includes memos about Able Danger, communications concerning bin Laden’s location, and the labyrinth of Epstein’s clientele.
2. Civil and Criminal Penalties
RICO exposes defendants to both financial damages (tripled, under civil provisions) and criminal liability, piling pressure on lower-level participants to become cooperating witnesses.
3. Public Spotlight
This suits the bigger purpose: with mainstream media in thrall to corporate advertisers and government leaks, a high-profile court proceeding is one of the few avenues left to force coverage of suppressed stories.
Precedent
In the 1990s, civil RICO actions helped dismantle corrupt police rings and mafia enterprises by tying seemingly unrelated crimes into a larger conspiracy. Applying RICO logic to 9/11 cover-ups, intelligence subterfuge, and blackmail networks could be precisely the bombshell mechanism we need.
IX. Practical Steps for Action
When government institutions fail to self-correct, citizens must intervene. Here are strategies drawn from Weldon’s experience and from the broader grassroots fight for transparency:
1. Establish a Citizen-Led Commission
Invite construction engineers, fire experts, intelligence veterans, and independent journalists to examine evidence about Building 7, the hijackers’ training, and alleged controlled demolitions.
Live-stream depositions and host Q&A sessions to bypass mainstream media silence.
2. Formalize the RICO Complaint
WLBJ, already has a structure, now add in Weldon's allegations. Publish the core allegations in plain language for Americans to see. Draw in families of 9/11 victims, veterans, and any whistleblowers who have relevant documents.
3. Crowdfund Legal and Security Resources
The Deep State’s standard playbook is to isolate and bankrupt whistleblowers or plaintiffs. Counter that by pooling resources. Provide psychological and legal support to anyone threatened, and maintain robust digital security.
4. Target Defense Contractors with Boycotts and Public Demands
Mobilize communities and local politicians to review or freeze municipal contracts with implicated defense firms. Shift public retirement funds away from stocks in Lockheed, Boeing, and others fueling clandestine conflicts.
5. Expose Media-Intelligence Collusion
Grassroots citizen journalism can map who sits on the boards of major media conglomerates. Reveal their ties to defense advertisers or intelligence agencies. Once that web becomes public knowledge, calls for reformed coverage amplify.
6. Form Alliances with Disenchanted Insiders
Weldon repeatedly received key data from “cockroach” intelligence professionals fed up with systematic corruption. That pipeline still exists. Openly invite conscientious insiders—across agencies—to share what they know under secure conditions.
X. A National Emergency Demanding a National Reckoning
Though some might call these revelations “conspiracy theories,” the label no longer deters millions of Americans who suspect deeper foul play behind 9/11. Curt Weldon’s bombshell allegations—long dismissed—have steadily gained traction as new pieces of evidence emerge, as the official narrative strains under its own contradictions, and as the highest offices in the land remain silent.
This is more than a partisan crisis. It is an existential test of America’s capacity for self-governance. The premises behind the War on Terror, the billions funneled to private intelligence contractors, and the extraordinary assault on civil liberties via laws like the Patriot Act all hinge on the foundational story of 9/11. If that story is partly false or intentionally distorted, the entire edifice of post-9/11 foreign and domestic policy collapses under moral and legal illegitimacy.
We are also witnessing an epic failure of leadership. The second Trump administration, endowed with a mandate to expose hidden truths, appears neutered. If even the outspoken firebrands—Bondi, Patel, Bongino, Gabbard, Ratcliffe—have gone quiet, then no insider mechanism remains to break the logjam of secrecy. Trump himself is either being blackmailed or silenced somehow if he does not answer Weldon's call.
At this point, the only logical conclusion is that our system is in the throes of a silent coup. Call it the Deep State, the “Permanent Illegitimate Government,” or the Military-Industrial-Intelligence Complex—its tentacles stretch far beyond one president or one election cycle. Each time a wave of “outsiders” attempts a revolutionary housecleaning, the vacuum left by sacked officials is replaced by new loyalists to the same clandestine networks.
Conclusion: The Urgency of WLBJ’s RICO Initiative
Curt Weldon’s newly public admissions, after years of intimidation and personal destruction, validate much of what independent researchers and alarmed citizens have contended for decades: that official omissions in the 9/11 narrative were no accident; that Osama bin Laden’s sanctuary in Iran was an open secret to insiders; that the rush to war—especially in Afghanistan—served undisclosed agendas; that the 9/11 Commission was at best incomplete and at worst manipulated; and that intelligence agencies bury or distort information when it conflicts with the vantage of their political patrons.
Now, with the Epstein files still locked away, the Dream Team of so-called “America First” officials letting the clock run out on real investigations, and a populace divided by rhetorical battles over immigration, the path forward narrows considerably. This is where WLBJ’s proposed RICO class action enters the arena as a potentially epochal event. Such a lawsuit could:
Bring suppressed documents, emails, and phone transcripts into the public record. We'll cross the immunity hurtles when we get there.
Offer whistleblowers legal cover to testify on matters from 9/11 to secret arms deals.
Draw mainstream coverage through sheer legal gravity, compelling nightly news outlets to explain the lawsuits’ claims.
Ultimately, we stand on the brink of a fundamental reckoning: either the American experiment in self-rule is reclaimed by an informed public, or our nation continues to drift under the sway of unelected clandestine power. Curt Weldon’s saga is a cautionary tale: speak out, and you risk everything. But his willingness to do so—fueled by loyalty to his lost firefighter friends, to the 343 FDNY heroes who died on 9/11, the 3000 American lives lost, and to the soldiers who fought unwinnable wars—is an invitation for us to do the same.
If Weldon’s evidence is true—and many indicators say it is—then the entire ideological justification for two decades of war unravels. Just as Americans once forced an end to the Vietnam War and demanded civil rights legislation, a new public outcry could force accountability for the still-festering lies about 9/11 and the endless conflicts spawned by those lies. With the obvious silence from our freshly installed leaders, one truth emerges with undeniable clarity:
We, the people, must use every tool—legal, moral, informational—to unearth what they hide. We must champion whistleblowers, support lawsuits like WLBJ’s Proposed RICO class action, and form our own citizen-led commissions to broadcast evidence that official panels refuse to see. Only then will the disastrous cycle of secrecy, war, and profiteering break. Only then can we honor the thousands who have perished in the name of a deception. Only then can we reclaim the Republic our Founders envisioned.
And so, as Curt Weldon’s revelations—held in for years—come to light, they serve as a summons: Let each of us decide whether we consent to be ruled by hidden powers, or whether we will demand accountability in the open, for all to see. The future of American democracy hangs on that choice.
May The Salvation, Grace, Mercy, And Peace Of The Lord Jesus Christ Be With You All.
In His Love,
~WLBJ~
