Reply #111: about the "person jailed in Canada" story

[Minstrel Boy]

First of all, this is a very small part of the 9/11 picture, and it's still unclear what it contributes to an understanding of that day. But I have to speak up about this, because I didn't hear of Lt Vreeland from Ruppert. I first heard of him from my oldest childhood friend, Vreeland's attorney.

He's a prominent Toronto lawyer, specializing in extradition cases, and was present when the warning was written, sealed and handed to prison officials. He then spent the next month trying to get the RCMP and CSIS to take seriously Vreeland's message. And he was present on Sept 13, when the prison officials unsealed the envelope.

He called the Pentagon in open court and confirmed Vreeland's position. The prosecution claimed Vreeland had hacked into the Pentagon's computers while in prison. Now tell me, which is more credible?

My friend also asked several contacts in Canadian Intelligence to quietly check out Vreeland. And he did.

Vreeland had information on the death in Russia of Canadian diplomat Marc Bastien which has subsequently been proven accurate.

Vreeland, while on bail, vanished before a decision was rendered on his refugee claim. He still owes my friend a bundle of $$$, so he's not exactly holding a candle for him. For what it's worth, he believes Vreeland was not totally forthcoming, and was feeding him disinformation along with the truth. Not unexpected behaviour, he believes, from a long-time intelligence operative.

What the Vreeland story means doesn't matter to me. It doesn't inform my understanding of 9/11. But some matters, such as the warning and the Pentagon's inadvertant confirmation of Vreeland's standing, are simply indisputable and part of the court record.
