9/11 Insider Claims: Secret Commission Warned U.S. Before Attacks, Financial Motives

The Gilmore Commission and Pre-9/11 Warnings

• 💡 The Gilmore Commission, chaired by Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, produced five reports before 9/11 with recommendations that were later adopted by the 9/11 Commission.
• ⚠️ The 9/11 Commission reportedly does not mention the Gilmore Commission at all, despite its prior work.
• 📄 The Gilmore Commission's reports were presented to Presidents Clinton and Bush, and John Bolton, and contained bulk recommendations that were later used by the 9/11 Commission.

Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and "A New Pearl Harbor"

• 🎯 A group of influential neoconservatives, including Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfowitz, formed the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) in 1997.
• 📜 PNAC published an open letter to Clinton calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein and a more assertive US policy in the Middle East.
• 💥 A PNAC report predicted that a "catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor" would be necessary to shift US policy towards removing Saddam Hussein.
• 🚨 The article suggests that after 9/11, Rumsfeld insisted Iraq should be a principal target, despite the event being unclear.

Able Danger Project and Data Destruction

• 🔍 The Able Danger project was a U.S. military intelligence program that identified a car dealership in Morocco used as a front organization for funneling information.
• 🚫 The Able Danger project was ordered to stand down and its data destroyed when the Bush administration came into power.
• 💾 A lawyer instructed the Able Danger team to delete all data within 90 days or face jail time, leading to the destruction of information that could have potentially prevented 9/11.
• 🗣️ The raw intelligence from Able Danger, which included names of prominent American leaders and information about China acquiring US technology, was dismissed by the FBI as coming from "cracks."

Financial Motivations and Conflicts of Interest

• 💰 Dick Cheney had a net worth of $19 million before 9/11 and was CEO of Halliburton, a company that sold pipes to Libya while under US sanctions.
• 📈 Donald Rumsfeld had a net worth of $50 million before 9/11 and served on the boards of major companies, including defense contractors and pharmaceutical companies with government ties.
• 💸 The speaker expresses disgust with individuals who make money behind the scenes from decisions that lead to the deaths of US troops and first responders.

Speaker's Background and Intent

• 👨‍🏫 Kurt Weldon, a former teacher, firefighter, and 20-year Congressman, aims to share experiences and knowledge from leading delegations to 104 countries.
• 🎖️ Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, a retired spy and senior intelligence officer, offers insights from over 30 years of operational experience, including 9/11 issues related to Able Danger.
