Curt Weldon’s New Fraudulent Account of the 9/11 Attacks

11 September 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

It’s the type of ‘non’-fiction book that will probably sell very well but that’s basically misleading trash, fundamentally false ‘history’, another in a tragically long line of false ‘historical’ accounts centered on 9/11. And its author, the neoconservative Republican Congressman Curt Weldon, himself already had a history of writing false ‘history’.

In 2005, Weldon published a book, Able Danger: What the 9/11 Commission Never Told You, whose flap said that the book shows “Why Iran, not al Qaeda, is the command post of radical Islamic terror · Who is undercutting American efforts to create a peaceful, stable Iraq · Why Iran is like the Soviet Union in the 1980s: extremely dangerous, the iron glove behind all our enemies yet on the verge of internal collapse · The Iranian nuclear program: red-hot and more advanced than you think Congressman Weldon’s sharing of vital intelligence with you, the reading public, is unprecedented.” In my 10 September 2016 article “The Great 9/11 Cover-Up”, I documented that George W. Bush had kept his CIA Director George Tenet away from him when Tenet was trying to enter the Oval Office to warn The President privately that the attack was imminent, and Condoleezza Rice barred Tenet from being able to meet personally with Bush because, Rice told Tenet, “We’re not quite ready to consider this. We don’t want the clock to start ticking.” So, they actually knew that it was coming, but The President wanted deniability about his advance knowledge of it — there must be no documentation that he knew about it before it happened. And I also documented there that on 15 July 2016, the “missing 28 pages” from the U.S. Congress’s investigation into 9/11 were finally released late on that Friday night fifteen years after 9/11 — late on Friday in order to bury the news-story about it because those ‘missing’ 28 pages documented, from FBI own files, that Bush’s buddy, Prince “Bandar Bush,” Bandar bin Sultan al Saud, had personally financed at least some of the Saudi handlers of at least one of the 15 Saudis who were in the 19 terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. Hidden then for 15 years, and now (because so few Americans ever got to see it) effectively hidden even till today.

Already on 11 February 2015 I had headlined “Al Qaeda’s Bookkeeper Spills The Beans”, and reported that Zacarias Moussaoui, Al Qaeda’s bookkeeper, whom the U.S. Government were keeping hidden from the public and from newspeople, in a maximum security prison (where he remains today), had testified in a court hearing that the press didn’t cover, and he said that not ONLY had Bandar but also OTHER Saudi Princes, were among the organization’s mega-donors. He testified that “without the money of the — of the Saudi [Princes], you will have nothing [of al-Qaeda].” The CIA-edited and written Wikipedia (which blacklists — blocks from linking to — sites that aren’t CIA-approved) article “Zacarias Moussaoui” mentions nothing of this, but no one denies that he said ti, and this article of mine linked to the archived 24-page pdf of the first day of his four-day testimony. (The entirety of his testimony — all four days of it, Exhibit 5 through to Exhibit 8 — are linked to here.) Moussaouie was the world’s most-knowledgeable person about the money behind al-Qaeda and thus behind 9/11 (all 19 of those perpetrators were trained by al-Qaeda), but the U.S. Government and press hid his testimony and still does.

So, already, following the money-trail, which is the trail from the top of the 9/11 attacks (the donors and planners) to its bottom (the perpetrators) on 9/11, it was organized by a combination that included the Saud family and that was done in coordination with the U.S. President.

The Saud family have always hated Shia Moslems and especially Iran.

My 26 November 2017 “How Iran Came to Be Called ‘The Top State Sponsor of Terrorism’” explains and documents that ever since at least the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers apartment complex in the Saudi city of Khobar, which killed 19 U.S. military, the Sauds and the Clinton Administration’s Louis Freeh, James Comey, and Robert Mueller, pinned the attack on the Shia pro-Iran Hezbollah instead of upon al-Qaeda, which the Sauds funded and actually perpetrated it, because the Sauds weren’t ‘sufficiently’ fundamentalist Sunnis. This attack fathered their phrase that “Iran is the top state sponsor of terrorism.”

Weldon’s 2005 book claiming that “Iran, not al Qaeda, is the command post of radical Islamic terror” was just more of those same lies.

Now Weldon, on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, comes out with his new book Able Danger: What the 9/11 Commission Never Told You, to be published by Tucker Carlson Books on September 22nd, and he introduced it on September 6th on The Jimmy Dore Show, interviewed there by Dore, and telling Dore lots of allegations but NOTHING of the money-trail nor what I have just summarized here. Dore, like a fool, heroized there this fraudster. Weldon even, at 13:25, told Dore, “I’ve never met Donald Trump, but we’ve got to continue to cleanse the system” as Trump (he assumes) is trying to do, and that ‘we’ must help Trump to do it. And Jimmy Dore accepted this garbage — didn’t question any of it.

Weldon’s new book alleges that Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were in on the 9/11 plan and that they sabotaged Weldon’s political career so that Weldon in 2006 wasn’t re-elected.

Weldon personalizes everything to present himself as the martyred ‘honest’ politician who had tried to get the honest word out but was stopped by “the Deep State.” Meanwhile, the objects of Weldon’s ire are Rumsfeld and Cheney, and NOT the Sauds, and NOT Bush, and NOT the real Deep State.

Louis Freeh was himself on the inside as a strong supporter of the Saudi royal family, the al-Sauds, who own that country. And Robert Mueller and James Comey were his key acolytes who assisted him to transfer the blame for the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing away from Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda and instead onto Iran, which was completely innocent of the charge but became officially blamed for it, which started the U.S. Deep State’s standard accusation against Iran, that it (and not the Saud family) is ‘the top state sponsor of terrorism’ — a blatant and evil lie.

On 20 June 2018, the Washington Examiner bannered “OPINION  Robert Mueller was the biggest obstacle for Sept. 11 families who wanted to sue Saudi Arabia” and opened: “A lawyer representing the families of 9/11 victims says Robert Mueller engaged in a cover-up of evidence that the Saudi government aided the attackers.” That’s the “opinion” which had been expressed to the newspaper’s reporter, Ryan Gidursky. He wrote: “New York-based lawyer Jim Kreindler, representing the families of the Sept. 11 victims, said in an interview with me that Mueller and his successor, James Comey, engaged in a systematic cover-up of evidence that the Saudi government aided the terrorists who committed the Sept. 11 attacks.”

That report went on to say that:

Several people formerly associated with the investigation stated that Saudi Arabia was financially involved with the Sept. 11 attacks, including John Lehman, a Republican member of the 9/11 Commission, and former Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., who chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at the time. Graham’s testimony during an appearance on “60 Minutes” was especially damning: “the hijackers received active support and guidance from rich Saudis, Saudi charities, and top members of the Saudi government.”

Stephen K. Moore, the retired FBI agent who led the Sept. 11 probe in Los Angeles, also confirmed in an affidavit back in December 2017 that the Saudis played a significant role.

Despite mounting evidence and testimony from key players in the investigation as well as former politicians, Kreindler told me that he ran into significant roadblocks from the FBI and former directors Mueller and Comey.

“We’ve really been stymied over the last 17 years from getting information from the FBI, State Department, and Department of Defense,” Kreindler said in an interview. “From day one, instead of focusing on the evidence, there was an effort to not look at the Saudis and [instead to] get their help in launching the Iraq War.”

Kreindler said that retired FBI agents had told him that they also believe Mueller lied in 2002 before the joint congressional inquiry that he was unaware of Saudi government involvement.

Weldon doesn’t mention ANY of those individuals in his interview.
