Thanks for this name and story. This seems to go straight to the issue of foreknowledge of 9/11 and thus the Inside Job.

He produces papers, signed by the Deputy District Attorney, which show that he was finally cleared as the author of his first wife's murder. He offers copies of American newspaper articles in which the Denver police are denounced for having dismissed evidence that his wife committed "suicide", and the police photos of his bruised face, evidence, he says, of police brutality. Sonnenfeld also makes reference to the testimony of the two prisoners who, in exchange for a reduction in their sentences, swore to the same police that I accused of torture, that I had confessed to the murder of my wife" The testimonies reopened the case and dismissed my suit against the Denver police. Sonnenfeld displays documents to show that he never attempted to hide his identity and even presented himself to the US embassy in an effort to return to the US with his new wife, an act which, two weeks later, led to his arrest and the serving of an extradition warrant.<br><br> - What exactly was he able to document at the WTC site?<br><br> I was the only person, with camera in hand, with total and absolute access to any area of Ground Zero and the WTC.

The information of which I speak is already distributed in several places."<br><br>On February 23rd 2006, Sonnenfeld displayed a selection of his photographs from Ground Zero at the La Bohéme Salón gallery in Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires Herald reported:<br><br> A fireman works amid the debris of Ground Zero just hours after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack that razed the Twin Towers in New York, as pictured by US citizen Kurt Sonnenfeld, who claims to be the only videographer given full access by the US government to record rescue works. An exhibit of 28 Ground Zero pictures taken by Sonnenfeld and never shown before opened yesterday for about a month. The United States has requested that Argentina extradite Sonnenfeld on charges that in 2002 he killed his first wife and the case is in the hands of Argentina’s Supreme Court of Justice. Sonnenfeld, 43, claims that she took her own life. He was detained for several months in Denver, Colorado, and one day before a trial was due to start a judge dismissed the charges and he was released in June 2002.<br><br> He publicly accused US police of torturing and persecuting him. In February 2003, he came for a month’s holiday in Argentina, where he married an Argentine citizen Paula. The pictures he is now exhibiting came to Buenos Aires in a make-up box, hidden in his furniture. Asked by the Herald in an interview last October whether he thought that the alleged persecution was linked to his work as a videographer, he simply said, “The US authorities are trying to extradite me under false pretenses.”<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

Strange Loops

Somewhere deep in the pages of Robert Anton Wilson's speculative fiction trilogy, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Schrodinger's Cat</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> (somewhere in the second half or last 1/3, I seem to recall), Wilson provides a quite succinct breakdown of the Double-Cross Theory of Intelligence, and the exploitation of logical paradox and "strange loops" by espionage agencies. <br><br>Quite a few of the people frequenting this board, and in the wider "9-11 Truth Movement", really, really, really need to read that passage. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 10/27/06 11:32 pm<br></i>

The vagueness of it all

Postby Bismillah » Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:05 am

From the Sonnenfeld interview:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"- But what exactly are in these images of yours that could contradict the official US government version of events on 9/11?<br><br>What I saw at certain moments and in certain places...is very frightening, I don't know who to put it in words, what I saw leads me to the terrible conclusion that there was foreknowledge of what was going to happen.

Here he is, giving an interview and having an <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>exhibition</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> in Buenos Aires, yet allegedly in fear of his life. Here he is, saying: "what I saw leads me to the terrible conclusion that there was foreknowledge of what was going to happen." Yet, when questioned, he barely gives any details at all. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"From some of these locations certain documentation that was irreplaceable was removed."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>- Well, how does he know it was irreplaceable? Was he allowed to examine that 'irreplaceable documentation' closely? That seems very unlikely. In any case, removing 'irreplaceable documentation' while you have the chance is neither sinister nor incriminating in and of itself, any more than removing your jacket, or your mobile phone, or your framed photo of your wife and car. (Presumably he's referring to WTC7 here, but even that is never made clear.)<br><br>This is an interesting story, but I'd be very, very careful with it. If the US authorities wanted to extradite someone with 'state secrets' from Argentina, or even just suicide him, they could surely do so very easily. And if Sonnenfeld is really so frightened, then I wonder why he's giving interviews that could get him into serious trouble, while providing no verifiable evidence whatsoever for his claims (which remain nebulous in the extreme). <p></p><i></i>

"You're already coming from a place of complete mistrust of the government's version of events...except if they give you pictures to watch, you're apparently willing to do an about-face and accept whatever they hand you."<br><br>Actually you are correct that I am coming from a place of complete mistrust NOW.

They had their chance to be transparent with the people on this Pentagon issue and they didn't do it. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=pugzleyca3>pugzleyca3</A> at: 10/28/06 12:45 pm<br></i>
