BREAKING!!! - Weldon says records were ordered destroyed!! (Able Danger)

Dom Giordano Show - 1210AM Radio "Big Talker" - Philadelphia | 29 AUG 05 | Vanity

[Lancey Howard]

Congressman Curt Weldon (R - Pennsylvania) gave another exclusive interview to Dom Giordano this evening (Monday) and broke the news that he will be giving a speech on September 8th (next Monday) during which he will present yet another 'Able Danger' witness. This new witness will attest (and will swear under oath when called) that he was "ordered to destroy records" relating to the 'Able Danger' program.

This order to destroy the records occurred prior to 9-11-01. Weldon intimated that it happened during the Clinton Administration.

The witness, who Weldon did not name, says that he was ordered to destroy records and was threatened with jail if he failed to comply. Weldon said that he has the names of the people involved, including the person who gave the order, and HE WILL NAME THEM in his speech.

Congressman Weldon also said that his staff has met with Senator Arlen Specter's (R - Pennsylvania) staff regarding the upcoming Judiciary Committee hearings. Weldon wants to be sure that everybody is on the same page. Weldon also said that he will do whatever he has to do to make sure that ALL the facts come out and that the process "is not manipulated".

Curt Weldon is like a pit bull on a steak. He expressed disgust with the "incompetence" of the 9-11 Commission and said that the victims of the 9-11 terror attacks deserve answers. Weldon is determined to see that they get them.

Weldon did express confidence in Tim Roehmer and John Lehman and speculated that perhaps the poor job done by the Commission was the result of an incompetent staff. Weldon sounded amazed and disappointed that so much important information was either glossed over or swept under the rug by the Commission.

Weldon will give his September 8th speech either to the National Press Club or to a "9-11 families" group which has asked him to speak. He apparently hasn't nailed down the exact venue yet.

(For those unfamiliar with Dom Giordano, he is a very good conservative local talk show host here in the Philadelphia area, an area which includes Curt Weldon's district. Weldon comes on Dom's show often and, like this evening, sometimes breaks news.)

From what I understand, Able Danger was a computer program that gathered data from many different sources and tried to tie the information all together. One thing that it apparently did was connect Clinton with China. It was able to put together dates,names, times, money, etc.

[AFPhys]

Nothing was breathing down their necks at the time.

Except the original WTC bombing, OKC, TWA800, the embasssy bombings, the Cole, and an overwhelming need to run screaming from anything that remotely resembled a terrorist attack. The denial, coverups and misapplied responses surrounding these events led directly to 911.

Must be repeated.

9/8 is a Thursday.

D'oh! Thanks for the correction. I looked at my August calendar.

There is one account of a big (internal) fuss about ABLE DANGER in May 2000 (during Clinton administration) when the private contractor doing at least a key segment of the work was abruptly fired (see below). But I have the strong impression that AD was not terminated as a program until Feb. 2001 -- I'll try to find the link for that, it's somewhere on the 'ATTA' list of threads.

[from NY Post story linked above]:

Cyber-sleuths working for a Pentagon intelligence unit that reportedly identified some of the 9/11 hijackers before the attack were fired by military officials, after they mistakenly pinpointed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other prominent Americans as potential security risks, The Post has learned.

The private contractors working for the counter-terrorism unit Able Danger lost their jobs in May 2000. The firings following a series of analyses that Pentagon lawyers feared were dangerously close to violating laws banning the military from spying on Americans, sources said.

The Pentagon canceled its contract with the private firm shortly after the analysts — who were working on identifying al Qaeda operatives — produced a particularly controversial chart on proliferation of sensitive technology to China, the sources said.

Sources said the private contractors, using sophisticated computer software that sifts through massive amounts of raw data to establish patterns, came up with a chart of Chinese strategic and business connections in the U.S.

The China chart was put together by James Smith, who confirmed yesterday that his contract with the military was canceled and he was fired from his company because the military brass became concerned about the focus on U.S. citizens.

"It was shut down in a matter of hours. The colonel said our service was no longer needed and told me: 'You just ended my career.' "

I was in the hearing room when they grilled Condi Rice. The bunch of 9/11 gals were clapping for every smarmy attack. I was standing against the wall behind the press table. After one outburst by them I couidn't contain myself: "Cheerleaders" I yelled. The reporters nearly jumped out of their skins. Didn't know they spooked that easy.

[ovrtaxt]

Just wondering if there aren't destroyed documents in regards to the Oklahoma City Bombing and connections to Saddam Hussein and Iraq ( again Janet Reno as possible suspect)?

Ask Danny Defenbaugh- Dallas FBI.

There's soooo much to keep up with anymore..Was any of this related to PROMIS?

[mickie]

You are absolutely right about Joe McCarthy.
The Libs came after him, big time, and ruined him.

I am worried about Weldon's safety. The clintoons didn't come this far to be defeated now.
They sold their soul to the devil.....long time ago.

[jimbo123]

The "Smear Weldon" crowd have apparently gotten their new talking points. Comparing him to Joe McCarthy. Calling him kooky. They're really afraid of people finding out the truth about what happened.

Weldon did speak about "the chart" tonight and says he has a psuedo-copy of it but that he gave the original one to somebody else (Steve Shandler?). I was left with the impression it's in good hands.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

RobbyS....

Proud to say my cousin WASN'T there!

[AFPhys]

Exactly.

Burgler did NOT go to take those documents just to review them.

He had a major NEED to erase something from historical reference. This could very well be it - not "erase A-D documents" but mention of A-D itself and the fact that Atta was mentioned by them.

[Oldexpat]

Oliver Stoned will make a movie about this..factual, except the President during the story will be an evil conservative republican.

[skinkinthegrass]

Whoa! ...the Little Rock Mafia, will be getting some "work orders" soon. :/

[AFPhys]

I seem to be able to do no better than repeat you good folks:

Watergate had NOTHING to do with the security of the nation. This does. Massive cover-up. Sandy Berger. All of it.

[Fred Nerks]

Hey come see this...

[nopardons]

Yes, it certainly does and WHAT exactly Sandy Burglar shredded!

[Donna Lee Nardo]

LOL. Did you do that? There is nobody more talented than a FReeper. :)
