Connie Sonne Accuses Banachek of cheating her

Alison Smith, as representative for the JREF, said at the beginning of tape 1: "...and we all want to see her perform well". Better sentiments than those expressed above, although I accept that one is before and the other after the event. Still, I think we have everything to gain by remaining civil and everything to lose by being abusive, regardless of how Connie conducted herself after the test.

BTW, I see no evidence of dowsing. She must be using that pendulum to "concentrate her mind" or "channel the energies" or something.
 
I reported this post, Klaymore. I think I understand why you feel this way, but the beginning of the last paragraph seems grossly inadequate.

I agree it's a bit harsh... But does it break any rules?
Yes. It breaks rule 12. If it were a non-member it would be okay, but Connie Sonne is a member here.

We shall see, since I reported this post, too.

I report very, very few posts - and only those whose authors seem well capable of voicing their opinion in a more civil way.

I think many had misunderstood me...it was not only Banachek, but the whole JREF who has cheatened not only me, but a lot of people. And another misunderstanding, I have never said WHEN I was going to tell about it, I only said when I would start on my website. And I did. The other things will come....when the right time comes!

Another thing , from the beginning I gave JREF and Bart Farkas and Mark Edward a cd rom containing voices from behind. It is real, and NOONE can manipulate that kind of voices. And they know, but they NEVER mentioned it at all. WHY NOT? Because they know I am right.
 
Bart Farkas wrote a mail to me:

Connie,

I hope your trip back to Denmark went well.

Thank you again for the dowsing string and for the CD with the audio files. I want to get the full effect out of the audio file so I need to ask you again at what speed I need to play the audiofile? You told me once but I can`t remember exactly what speed I need to play it at in order for me to be able to hear properly. I can tell there sounds like a voice on the CD but it`s not clear when I listen at regular speed.
Thanks!
Bart.
 
Bart is nicely asking you what speed. So, what speed? Pretty much any shaky recording can sound voicey, so if nothing can actually be heard, then it could be just the usual same old same old. That's pretty boring. So, one must get a clear message or clear voice out of it to be sure. So far, no go. *yawn*

Hi Bart, and thank you. It was nice to meet you, but I`m right about the cheating, and it`s not only Banachek, what I meant...It was the whole JREF. I will and can prove it. I don`t know, if you know something, but actually I don`t care. I still think you were a very good company. The 15 august I will get my websit in danish, and the 15 september in english. I will write about the JREF there too.

About the cd-rom. I thought I had written it in a document on the cd, but maybe you can`t open the file. I dont know, but here it comes again:

Play the voices again and again, get your ears used to hear only the voices, not the noises. You must be very patient and play it on a computer with very good speakers.
Play it on the regular speed....1,0 until you can hear this:

a little girl: why I dont know why?...a man: A? I do think so...they punished you...then the litlle girl say some words I can`t hear but then...why it means double kick??

When you hear that more clearly (and you will, if you are patient) then play it on the speed of 0,6.

Here it again and again...then you will hear:

Where the man says BECAUSE THEY PUNISHED YOU, another voice says : HE IS HURTING ME HERE! The word PUNISHED is now transformed to HURTING!

and when the little girl says: WHY IT MEANS DOUBLE KICK, another voice says: WHY YOU GO AWAY! The word DOUBLE KICK is now transformed into AWAY!

I will send this email for Mark Edward too, eventhough he is a big liar. Because if you can`t open the document on the cd, he can`t either. So I still think he should have the oportunity to hear the cd rom.

Regards Connie
 
Oh, look, a zombie thread resurrection.

What, not enough attention in real life these days, Connie, since you failed spectacularly a year ago?

Nobody "cheated" you. You failed.

Spectacularly.

Deal with it.

Eos: I did`nt ask you of anything:D

I was there last year, during your spectacular fail, and nobody cheated. I saw the whole thing with my own eyes. Now you want us to interpret white noise as words too?

You are asking me to believe you when you're being so dishonest about everything now.
 
I never heard something, and then I wrote a mail for Bart :

Hi Bart, I just want to say that I am sure now, that you (like Mark Edward) are unfortunately not the same person you gave yourself out to be when we met at TAM 7.

You were hired to win my trust with the only purpose: to find out some more about me, things JREF could use somehow. For that reason you recorded our conversations and the same with the conversation between Mark Edward and me. You told me that you would use it for your book about the Million Dollar Challenge, which I don`t expect to be published.
At that time I trusted you and JREF. Therefore I gave you the permission. But I know now, that you and JREF are very dishonest and your backgrounds are very different from what you want the public to believe you are. So therefore: If you use some of my words in your book or other places I will sue you!!

I know you only do your "job" like many others, and I realize that IF the skeptics REALLY want the claimants of the paranormal to come through, to show the world out there that great powers DO excist, the skeptics and others would loose their control. And they will NOT want that!!

You know, like the rest of JREF that there is much more huge powers than your crab and nonsens you spread out, and James Randi and "his" Foundation has NO connection with science ...... well.....skeptics or scientists...... it`s nearly the same! And funny enough....you talk about convincing about the paranormal excist...what about science??? Nearly ALL science is theories!! Prove me :) You have NOT heard the last word from me.

best regards Connie Sonne
 
Eos Yes...you saw it with you own eyes....but there was a lot you did`nt see. They will just have it to look like fair....but it will come, I promise!
 
About the voices...it is NOT a new thing...they knew it from the beginning...it was a part of my request for being tested !!!
 
Where is the evidence of cheating?
Where is the evidence that you have supernatural powers?

The test was nearly a year ago, so "it will come" is not good enough.
 
About the voices...it is NOT a new thing...they knew it from the beginning...it was a part of my request for being tested !!!
Yes, and it was rejected as suitable material for a test because there is nothing paranormal about auditory pareidolia.

Give it up, Connie. You took a properly designed and supervised test. You didn't bother to do a dry run of it first, because you were already convinced of your abilities. You failed it, as everyone here predicted.

Have you repeated the exact same test under the same conditions and got a different result? Because until you have, no-one is going listen to anything you have to say about Banachek/JREF cheating.
 
At that time I trusted you and JREF. Therefore I gave you the permission. But I know now, that you and JREF are very dishonest and your backgrounds are very different from what you want the public to believe you are. So therefore: If you use some of my words in your book or other places I will sue you!!

I think you'll find it even more difficult to successfully sue now that you've admitted in the same post that you gave permission. Be sure to show this to any attorney you intend to retain.

If there were any substance to your accusations, you would have come out with them in the days following your failed test, on this site, not asked people to pay attention to your site, in the hopes that maybe in a year you would deign to reveal them.
 
Eos Yes...you saw it with you own eyes....but there was a lot you did`nt see. They will just have it to look like fair....but it will come, I promise!
Your promises to be fair have fallen flat, while the JREF staff have not waffled on a thing. You agreed to the whole process from beginning to end, and now YOU are the one whining and spreading falsehoods. There is video too.

The video shows nothing because there was nothing. When you are reduced to calling people "stupid" and "blind" it only shows how desperate you've become. You failed the test, no one cheated, and you can keep saying the opposite until the end of time but it will not change that fact one iota.

Name calling. Sweet of you. The JREF staff have been nothing but kind and professional, especially in comparison. I've read your website. It is baseless, like the names you are calling me.

Thank you for proving what you really are, yet again.

Damnit, Connie, that's a brand new glass house you're standing in! Leggo the rocks!
Seriously, I love it when conspiracy theorists, psychics and the like tell people they're blind. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

In what way did the JREF violate the agreement? You know the signed document?

It must be awful to be so emotionally invested in something which has been proved not to exist, but Connie makes it hard for anyone to have much sympathy for her.

When she first failed the test but still believed she had some type of power, I thought "Okay, she's done this with dignity. I don't believe she has any special ability but she's polite".

Then she launched on the standard 'they cheated', 'they lied', 'the dog are my homework' excuses, calling respected members - who treated her with nothing but respect - names. From that point on, she lost any credibility and any right to mutual respect.
 
Oh my "God":D....I wished there were a smiley which shakes it`s head....I can just see one thing....some of you (only some) are so brainwashed and naive, that it hurts. But you know what? Still I feel pitty for you, because you can`t help it! I only laugh. You will see later on:)
Connie
And by the way.....JREF are hoping that you....the fundamentalistic skeptics....will get me down in the mud... but that will NOT happen:)

You've done a fine job of that all by yourself.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I have a recording of you saying the words "August or September" at the press conference. I'll have to check it again though.
 
Maybe if you use enough adjectives people will believe you. So far we have stupid, blind, brainwashed , and naive. Not very creative, really, but I understand English is not your first language, so we should cut you some slack.

And no, I don't think I will visit your website, thanks so much for the kind invitation.
 
Connie, do you forget that hundreds of us saw your test live, and even more have watched the video. We saw no cheating of any kind, just a well administered test. Do you think we all missed the cheating (the audience were deceived as well) or are we all in on the conspiracy (we know the cheating happened but won't admit it)?
