CONNIE SONNE, Dowser

[connie sonne]

When I sent my application for JREF, I did also sent a cd-rom with some voices for James Randi and his stuff. I sent it recommanded. I did also sent it for IIGWest, Dave Richards, and they both told me, that they received it.

But NOONE had mentioned it at all.

I knew, of cause, all the time, that it wasn`t enough, that I had to do something to convince the scientist and the public. Therefore I agreed the protocol, because I thought it was a straight way to show. And I trusted people, also JREF.
The cd-rom is the most straight and fair way to show, that I have the connection and that I`m right what I`m talking about, not only the dowsing, it is only a small part of it, and that did JREF also know.

I`ve not manipulated with the voices, I stíll have the original taping on my recorder.

Dave Richards and James Randi knows that I´m right, that I have the right connections.

On the cd-rom I taped Madeleine Mccanns voice in december 2007 in Portugal. Just before I left DK I only knew, wich

day I should travel, bringing my dog and a voicerecorder.On the third day I came to a little town. My dog should pee, and he suddenly rushed to a house, where I then knew Maddie was. That was the house, they kept her at that time. I knew that I would get something from there the following evening,and I should bring my voicerecorder. Beside the house there was an empty summerhouse, where I could be outside, just 5 meters away from the house, where M was.

I did, and one hour later Maddie and a man(who kept her) showed up. I did see him, and I recorded it all.

Back at the hotel I got some of the irrelevant noices away with a program called Wawepad. When I played the voices slowly another voices said something else! That voices belongs to "mine", and you can clearly hear it (it is all in english) I write it shortly here:

 

[connie sonne]

The man(who kept M) said:


...because they PUNISHED you....

when you play that slow(normally speed is 1,0) 0,6, another voice says :

he is HURTING me here...

Where Maddie said:

why it means DOUBLEKICK...(in normal speed), another voice says :

why you GO AWAY, when you play it slowly(0,6)
It is so clearly, but NOONE has mentioned it.

Also Bart Farkas and Mark Edward got it sunday - but NOONE has mentioned it! Instead Mark Edward wrote nasty things about me.

At that time, in december 2007 and several times last year, I of cause gave it all to the police, and also FBI( they have probably the best labs in the world)....but JUST silence.

And you know why??? Because NONE of the, including James Randi and IIG want me to get through. They

I did, and one hour later Maddie and a man(who kept her) showed up. I did see him, and I recorded it all.

You saw a missing child. You knew the child was missing. Yet you did nothing? You neither informed the authorities, apprehended the man, nor called for assistance -- were the streets deserted?

You, ma'am, are a fantasist.

 

[connie sonne]

know amongst many people, that it is the truth. They KNOW that there are people out there who really have the connection, they know there`s much much more than they know about, they know I have the contacts! There`s several reasons to keep me away from doing what I`m doing and JREF and IIG have THEIR reasons. There is NO MILLION dollars out there-only at the paper. They have just ONE mission: To debunk everything wich is paranormal(and I do know why, it will come later)
When I said, you can read about it all in august/september, there was only one reason for that:

 

[BillyJoe]

Connie,

I think all that stuff about Madeline McCann is difficult to verify.
This is why the JREF set up a test of one of your claims that could be easily tested.

BTW, I don't understand how you were, as you say, cheated.
Could you explain that in more detail?
(How was the test set up and where exactly did the cheating happen?)

You saw a missing child. You knew the child was missing. Yet you did nothing? You neither informed the authorities, apprehended the man, nor called for assistance -- were the streets deserted?

You, ma'am, are a fantasist.

You are missing the word "evil" in that last part...

 

[connie sonne]

Because it`s so huge, that it will take me so much time to write it(and get it translated), that I cannot write it all now. One more thing, when I was in the danish television last year in june, the played the cdrom, but only once and only in normal speed. So you could`nt really hear what was said.
Just before I went to the television I talked to a reporter. She was told what I´m telling you and we both agreed to what to be said in the programme. But again...NONE of it came through. But as I told you, I still have the original recorded voices, and I will find the right person to handle it.

Another thing: Bart Farkas was my "handler" before and after the testing. He did also get the cd-rom AND a pendulum.

Right in front of me

 

[connie sonne]

he did it, dowsed, absolutely with NO problems. EVERYBODY can dowse, because the powers does not come THROUGH people, it comes from the outside. It all comes from the same place. But there are rules! And if you cant, it`S because it`s NOT your time yet.

Before I left I wrote to Alison that I could do many other things but dowsing, and it was my meaning to show people something at the stage. Alison asked ´me about that, and I told her, that I would be interested to show James Randi something, so he, in front of the audience, could be a part of this. But Alison told me, that JR was sitting among the audience, but anyway I could still show other people something afterwards. I thought all the way through the test, that I could invite some of the audience to come to the stage, and there convince(at least some of you)
But it never happend. They wouldn`t let me I suppose. How long did the test take?? The protocol said one hour...was I on the stage on hour(actually I don`t know)

Well..you can`t see through people...eventhough you think you trust them...it just stop with their teeth...`that is not only about me....but people you all trusted out there...

about my accusations----just wait until I get my website...I will write it all-

Connie

 

[BillyJoe]

The clearly observable evidence suggests [Connie has] no paranormal/supernatural/psychic abilities.

This is not a correct statement of the conclusion of the MDC test of Connie's claimed abilities

I don't know where I went wrong. Please shine a light.

The negative result of this test does not allow you to conclude that Connie does not have any paranormal abilities.
Neither does it allow you to conclude that she does not have the particular claimed ability that was being tested.
In fact, all you can say is that, on this occasion, and under these particular circumstances, Connie was unable to demonstrate her claimed ability.

In more scientific terms: the null hypothesis has not been disproven.
The null hypothesis is that "Connie does not have the claimed ability".
The negative outcome of this test of her claimed ability means that the null hypothesis - that "Connie does not have the claimed ability" - has not been disproven.)

BillyJoe

EVERYBODY can dowse

Yes, thanks to the ideomotor effect - a well known and well understood phenomenon, which is in no way paranormal. When the ideomotor effect is carefully and methodically excluded, as it was in the JREF protocol, NOBODY - including you - can dowse. Try the JREF protocol again yourself, with someone you trust in Banachek's role, and see what happens.

All the other examples you think prove the paranormal are likewise explainable. The dowsing was chosen for the challenge simply because it was the easiest one to demonstrate.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I can only say now....most of you people out there are wrong, very wrong. My last words here on this site.

Then this...

Liar.

See a psychiatrist.

 

[steenkh]

I did, and one hour later Maddie and a man(who kept her) showed up. I did see him, and I recorded it all.

How did you know it was "Maddie" (she has never been called by that name)? How will you convince people that you tape recording has "Maddie's" voice on it?

 

[steenkh]

Yes, thanks to the ideomotor effect - a well known and well understood phenomenon, which is in no way paranormal.

Correction: Dowsing does not work at all, ideomotor effect or no ideomotor effect.

The protocols are not in place to remove the ideomotor effect, but to ensure that no clues are available outside of what the dowsing itself might produce.

 

[BillyJoe]

She made a claim. She couldn't live up to that claim. She was wrong.
If I say I can fly and then it turns out I can't, doesn't that mean I was wrong?

No, you could still be able to fly and Connie could still be able to dowse cards.
Just like Connie, you would merely have failed to disprove the null hypothesis - that Iaca can't fly - on this occasion under these particular conditions.

 

[BillyJoe]

Sometimes I ponder what the point of the million dollar challenge is if even the claimants who fail spectacularly, as this one did, don't even stop to think that maybe that is because paranormal powers are not real.

Because the test could never have proven that.

 

[Cuddles]

To debunk everything wich is paranormal

This is something that so many believers don't seem to understand, and it invariably results in them making themselves look rather silly. If something can be debunked that means that, by definition, it was bunk (a shortening of bunkum). So complaining that someone only wants to debunk things just doesn't make sense. That just means that the person in question wants to prove that things that are nonsense are, in fact, nonsense.

I find it rather telling that you would consider that a bad thing.

Connie Sonne

Back at the hotel I got some of the irrelevant noices away with a program called Wawepad. When I played the voices slowly another voices said something else!

I don't quite understand this.
Could anyone point me to where I can learn about this 'slow play' phenomena?
I'm not sure what it's called.

 

[Marcus]

My last words here on this site.

Connie

Another claim busted.

Your supernatural anecdotes aren't going to convince anyone. You had your chence to convince everyone with a fair test, that you agreed to, and you failed.

 

[Pixel42]

Correction: Dowsing does not work at all, ideomotor effect or no ideomotor effect.

The protocols are not in place to remove the ideomotor effect, but to ensure that no clues are available outside of what the dowsing itself might produce.

My understanding is that the ideomotor effect can use such clues to produce small muscle movements without the conscious awareness of the dowser. So by ensuring no such clues are available you starve the ideomotor effect of the information needed to produce unexpected accuracy.
