I had never seen this before. Is this old news or new?
Kurt Sonnenfeld : Exclusive interview
9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public
http://www.voltairenet.org/article160636.html
Kurt Sonnenfeld: There were many things, in hindsight, that were disturbing at Ground Zero. It was odd to me that I was dispatched to go to New York even before the second plane hit the South Tower, while the media was still reporting only that a “small plane” had collided with the North Tower — far too small of a catastrophe at that point to involve FEMA . FEMA was mobilized within minutes, whereas it took ten days for it to deploy to New Orleans to respond to Hurricane Katrina, even with abundant advance warning! It was odd to me that all cameras were so fiercely prohibited within the secured perimeter of Ground Zero, that the entire area was declared a crime scene and yet the “evidence” within that crime scene was so rapidly removed and destroyed. And then it was very odd to me when I learned that FEMA and several other federal agencies had already moved into position at their command center at Pier 92 on September 10th, one day before the attacks!...
...What happened with Building 7 is incredibly suspicious. I have video that shows how curiously small the rubble pile was, and how the buildings to either side were untouched by Building Seven when it collapsed. It had not been hit by an airplane; it had suffered only minor injuries when the Twin Towers collapsed, and there were only small fires on a couple of floors. There’s no way that building could have imploded the way it did without controlled demolition. Yet the collapse of Building 7 was hardly mentioned by the mainstream media and suspiciously ignored by the 911 Commission...
...There was no underground parking level at Seven World Trade Center. And there was no underground vault. Instead, the federal agencies at Building Seven stored their vehicles, documents and evidence in the building of their associates across the street. Beneath the plaza level of US Customs House (Building 6) was a large underground garage, separated off from the rest of the complex’s underground area and guarded under tight security. This was where the various government services parked their bomb-proofed cars and armored limousines, counterfeit taxi cabs and telephone company trucks used for undercover surveillance and covert operations, specialized vans and other vehicles. Also within that secured parking area was access to the sub-level vault of Building 6.
When the North Tower fell, the US Customs House (Building 6) was crushed and totally incinerated. Much of the underground levels beneath it were also destroyed. But there were voids. And it was into one of those voids, recently uncovered, that I descended with a special Task Force to investigate. It was there we found the security antechamber to the vault, badly damaged. At the far end of the security office was the wide steel door to the vault, a combination code keypad in the cinderblock wall beside it. But the wall was cracked and partially crumbled, and the door was sprung partially open. So we checked inside with our flashlights. Except for several rows of empty shelves, there was nothing in the vault but dust and debris. It had been emptied. Why was it empty? And when could it have been emptied?....

Kurt Sonnenfeld: an inconvenient 9/11 witness
His new book is entitled "El Perseguido."
http://www.voltairenet.org/article160666.html
http://elperseguido.wordpress.com/
| Quote: | Voltaire Network: You weren’t alone on the Ground Zero assignment. Did the others notice the same anomalies? Do you know whether they have they also been harassed?
Kurt Sonnenfeld: Actually there were a few people on two different excursions that I know about. Some of us even discussed it afterwards. They know who they are and I hope that they will come forward, but I’m sure they have strong apprehensions as to what will happen to them if they do. I will leave it to them to decide, but there is strength in numbers. |
Two other FEMA photographers that I know of are Mike Rieger and Andrea Booher and their respective assistants. Rieger and Booher are two photographers with credited photo work for FEMA at Ground Zero in the days following 9/11. As far as I know, Rieger and Booher did only still photography. Sonnefeld was a videographer, maybe the only one, at the time. I don't know of any other FEMA photographers. I discussed Rieger, Booher, and Sonnenfeld in early 2007 here:
http://www.911blogger.com/node/6960#comment-125321
| Quote: | Voltaire Network: Those events are nearly 8 years behind us. Do you consider that uncovering the truth about 9/11 continues to be an important objective? Why?
Kurt Sonnenfeld: It is of absolute importance. And it will be equally as important in 10 years, or even 50 years if the truth still has not been exposed. It is an important objective because, at this point in history, many people are too credulous to whatever “authority” tells them and too willing to follow. People in a state of shock seek guidance. People who are afraid are manipulable. And being able to manipulate the masses results in unimaginable benefits to a lot of very rich and very powerful people. War is incredibly expensive, but the money has to go somewhere. War is very profitable for the very few. And somehow their sons always end up in Washington DC, making the decisions and writing the budgets, while the sons of the poor and the poorly-connected always end up on the enemy lines, taking their orders and fighting their battles. The enormous black-budget of the US Department of Defense represents an unlimited money machine for the military-industrial complex, figuring in the multi-trillions of dollars, and it will continue to be so until the masses wake up, recuperate their skepticism and demand accountability. Wars (and false pretexts for war) will not cease until the people realize the true motive of war and stop believing “official” explanations. |
| Quote: | Voltaire Network: Last but not least: what will you do with your tapes?
Kurt Sonnenfeld: I am convinced that my tapes reveal many more anomalies than I am capable of recognizing given my limited qualifications. I will therefore cooperate in any way that I can with serious and reliable experts in a common endeavour to expose the truth. |

| It seems strange that the interviews would be with Voltaire Network, which early on spread the debunked claim that a missile hit the Pentagon. Now people all over the world are duped. That doesn't bode well for this. |

The photograph of someone hiding in the bushes struck me as a little... nutty.
Is that Bubbles?

I'd rather not see this thread degenerate into another "What did/did not hit the Pentagon" debate. But, here is but one witness list. It's up to the reader to determine credibility of these witnesses, this web page, or both, I guess.
9/11 Pentagon Eyewitness Accounts
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/911_pentagon_eyewitnesses.html
Though I would like to know the truth, it remains:
Failure + Zilch, Zally, Zip, Nada, None, Zero Accountability = Too Fucking Fishy For Me
Until they release OUR videos in their possession, I must assume that they are complicit. National security my ass! _________________ In a dictatorship, no one can hear you scream. |

Indeed.
And imagine if you had the video that could decimate ALL the nutty conspiracy theorists in one fell swoop with the footage of AA77 hitting the building, what would you do with it?
Release it because they're whining about it?
Doesn't take rocket science to figure out one of two reasons why they are not releasing any videos. But banking on just one of those reasons -- the one where they can decimate years and years of non-stop work by thousands of people all over the world with a single video -- is basically a death wish for any organization working to expose truths. |

EXACTLY!!! I couldn't have put that one better myself.
No use arguing over what actually hit the pentagon (I myself believe it was the plane we are told it was) because what actually hit the pentagon makes no difference in the grand scheme of things. |

Cosmos,
You have some altitude in the 9/11 Truth Movement.
You ought to write Kurt a note (or write the paper).
There are a tremendous number of people on his side. Having some reassurance of that helps. |

"As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent one month filming 29 tapes: "What I saw at certain moments and in certain places ... is very disturbing!" He never handed them over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since."
If this guy was working for FEMA, it seems the tapes would belong to them- and if he refused to give them up cuz there's incriminating evidence on them, why's he been sitting on it for more than 7 years- why didn't he immediately do something with them?
"Voltaire Network: As we said, deciding to write this book and to go public was a huge step. What pushed you to do it?
Kurt Sonnenfeld: To save my family. And to let the world know that things are not what they seem."
From what he says at voltaire, he's obviously familiar with some of the other claims surrounding 9/11, not just what he's a witness to.
If he's a whistleblower, and is being persecuted and has incriminating video, he needs to release it already- it's going on 8 years after 9/11
This article from 2007 says 2 inmates said he confessed to the murder while in jail- although it wouldn't be the first time incarcerated criminals lied for a deal.

I'm just curious if based on the wreckage found it has been scientifically confirmed that a commercial airliner is what hit the pentagon. It certainly did not look like it, and it appears there was an intentional disruption of the facts surrounding what really happened there.
Just because people said they saw a plane... does that definately mean it was a plane? There have been many inconsistencies across the board with this. I really would like to know what the final determination on this is. Seems disinfo has poisened the well so thoroughly on this topic that it has been left unresolved.
Regarding this guys videos, it's interesting to ponder, but unless we see or hear more, it's just more speculation. I believe most of us don't need to be convinced about what happened that day. |
