Part Nine: AWOL in Wonderland Leutrell Osbourne is an antiterrorism expert who worked for the CIA for 26 years before quitting in disgust. A security consultant with ties to the Black Congressional Caucus, Osbourne was interviewed on national television the day after 9-11. Provided with updates throughout my journey down the Vreeland rabbit hole, he was both skeptical and supportive of Vreeland’s claims. He also had words of warning, "I would back off, and watch it, watch everything that happens, it's volatile, what do you got? Who's pulling the strings? I'm not ready to say yet. But I'm getting closer." So far, the progressive media has all but forgotten about Vreeland’s story. The Nation, which has seen its circulation skyrocket since 9/11, is still leading the charge against the claims of a 9/11 Bush conspiracy. But the American people have questions. The Atlanta Journal Constitution's web site polled their users on April 14, 2002, and asked how many believed "Bush had foreknowledge of 9-11," 46% was the final number, before the poll was taken down and disappeared. The September 11 disaster descended on the American people, killing working Americans, motivating the rest of the population for war. The attacks also transformed the lackadaisical and oily Dubya Bush into a hero. "That doesn't make them above the law…You can't kill 5,000 people and say, 'Hey hey you can't touch me, I've got immunity.’" But the recent evidence of ignored warnings indicates something is rotten. Are interests larger than us using our anger? Are we getting the full story from the media? Vreeland told Yahoo radio's Jeff Rense, "I want the people who did certain things, and allowed certain things to take place, I want them to be dealt with, by the law." Rense responded with sympathy and skepticism, "You may be talking about the highest levels of American government." "That doesn't make them above the law…You can't kill 5,000 people and say, 'Hey hey you can't touch me, I've got immunity.’" Rense: "You'd like to think so." Mike Ruppert was also present at this radio interview, and added some big picture analysis at this point, "None of us are saints, but all of us have moments in which we try to do the right thing, and that's when we need to be supported. This is not over yet." Vreeland's apartment looked like a cyclone had hit it. It was ransacked, but without signs of bloodshed. On August 13, a death certificate with Vreeland’s name and details on it showed up on the web. Apparently, he shot himself in the back of the head. The internet is abuzz with the rumor. I call the dead man. He is unfazed, "We used to do this all the time. It's a way to let someone know you are after them." Vreeland had an extradition hearing on Monday, September 9, 2002, but he did not show up. He had spent the entire day before with his attorney, Paul Slansky, who later told the Toronto Sun, Vreeland had been concerned that certain forces, "were going to shut him up and do something to him." The next day a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. That night, Slansky entered Vreeland’s apartment with the police. It looked like a cyclone had hit it. It was ransacked, but without signs of bloodshed. If Vreeland had left town of his own free will, it didn't show. Slansky stated, “Everything is there, his toothbrush, his underwear, his shaving gear, everything.” However, sources close to the story tell GNN that Delmart "Mike" Vreeland still had his head above water, AWOL and on the run.
