(FTW) - Delmart 'Mike' Vreeland is out of danger for the time being.

9-11 whistleblower Delmart "Mike" Vreeland, the US Navy officer who wrote a written warning of the 9-11 attacks, a month before they occurred, was released on bail yesterday after a hearing in Toronto Superior Court in which he was ordered to reside at a Toronto apartment leased by his mother. At the time the bail release order was issued, the address was made part of the public record and announced
in open court, raising immediate fears that Vreeland, who has expressed fear for his safety, would become easy prey for would-be assassins. The same pattern was followed immediately before the public execution of drug smuggler and intelligence operative Barry Seal in 1986.

Late yesterday afternoon, FTW Publisher/Editor Mike Ruppert spoke by telephone with both Vreeland and his attorney, Paul Slansky, and learned that Canadian authorities had agreed, shortly after the court hearing, to allow Vreeland to change his approved residence location to an undisclosed address in the Toronto vicinity in order to ensure
his safety.

FTW has also learned that all Canadian charges connected to Vreeland's
December 2000 arrest have been dropped and that Vreeland, who is
seeking permanent political refugee status in Canada, has been granted
temporary refugee status until February 2003, or until his extradition
case has been resolved in Canadian courts. Vreeland, who has also
served as an informant on organized crime investigations in the US,
allegedly while working as a Naval intelligence officer, has stated in
Canadian court proceedings that he fears immediate assassination if
forced to return to the US because of his ability to prove US
government foreknowledge of the 9-11 attacks and because of continuing
threats from Russian and American organized crime.

Canadian courts have continually refused to allow Vreeland or his
attorneys to present mounting evidence validating his assertions -- in
many cases corroborated by official records -- that he was a Naval
lieutenant conducting secret intelligence operations for the US
government in Russia just before his Canadian arrest on Michigan fraud
charges in December 2000. Vreeland's claims that a Canadian diplomat,
Marc Bastien, was murdered in Moscow, originally denied by Canadian
officials, have since proven true as a result of autopsy findings. The
Canadian government has since acknowledged that Bastien was murdered.

It was on these 2000 intelligence operations in Russia that Vreeland
obtained the information which told him attacks against the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon -- among other targets -- were pending,
and that US intelligence was aware of them. Vreeland's warning note,
sealed and placed in the sole custody of Canadian jailers on Aug. 11
or 12, also contained the ominous statement, "Let one happen. Stop the
rest." That document was entered into evidence in Vreeland's
extradition hearing on Oct. 7, 2001. At that time Canadian authorities
acknowledged that the letter had been written a month before the
attacks.
