Cow-Killer Kent Knudson Takes Own Life

Obviously sad news here.

It is with great sadness that I must report to you the news of the passing of my great friend and hero, Kent Knudson. Kent had been suffering from depression over yet another traumatic legal difficulty and facing two felony charges, on top of his "Cowcrap" conviction. The pressures of this latest legal action taken against him, the possibility of 3 years of jail time, and other factors lead him into a depression from which Kent had decided to take matters into his own control, ending his life.

Knudson headed up the local branch of the knucklehead Troofers. He's better known locally for having killed a cow or two that wandered onto his property in Northern Arizona, although of course the Truthers try to make it sound like some brave defense of his family:

During the years that Kent spent caring for his beloved mother who was developing Alzheimer's disease, Kent fell into legal trouble as a result of attempting to safeguard his mother against an invading herd of cattle on their 40 acre ranch near Snowflake, AZ.

Yes, he was trying to save his mother from some killer cows, a courageous act that won him a Best of Phoenix Award: Best Local Nutbar.

My condolences to his family and friends. It is a shame that he wasted several of the last years of his life pursuing the great nothing that is 9-11 Truth.

Still Moron 9-11 Accountability

I listened to the "Truth to Power Hour" (which, in typical troofer fashion, is three hours long) on Air America Phoenix yesterday afternoon. There was only a half-hour dedicated to the 9-11 Accountability Conference, with convicted felon and conference organizer Kent Knudson and filmmaker Penny Little appearing with Farias to discuss the event. Amusingly, one of the callers briefly mentioned Eric Williams, but Farias quickly got him off the phone. Then our buddy the Feathered Bastard called in and got in Knudson's grill about Williams' being listed as the Conference Director until his Holocaust Denial threatened to derail the whole event. Knudson repeated the lie that Williams had never been the Conference Director or owned the website; do these people seriously think nobody can check on this stuff? They're like five-year-old kids who keep lying in the hopes of buying another ten minutes before the inevitable spanking.

I did hear another ad for the conference on the show. Hilariously, they mentioned three particular features: Alex Jones, Jason Bermas, and "Dialogues with Debunkers". Anybody care to guess how many of those will actually be at the confab? Hint: It's a nice, round number.

Meanwhile, Kevin "the Holocaust as taught in America is a hideously destructive myth" Barrett is still planning on attending, but he wants everybody to know that he's not a Holocaust Denier, according to his show last night. Dylan noted that he was not attending partially because of the 800-pound gorilla in the room, Eric Williams. Do-Over boy cannot afford to be associated with Holocaust Deniers. Barrett chirped in to say that if he couldn't associate with Holocaust Deniers, he'd have to give up going to Morocco, because nobody there believes in the Holocaust. Way to slander an entire country, Kevin!

9-11 Accountability Conference Screwing Speakers?

This confab seems to be falling apart at the seams. Alfons, the leader of the Veterans for 9-11 Truth group griped recently on a Yahoo group that Kent Knudson, the leader of the local group, had reneged on a promised airline ticket:

Bad news, I won't be at the 9/11 Accountability: Strategies and Solutions Conference. Kent is refusing to send me an airline ticket. Eric Williams had called me and promised to pay all expenses, including transportation. Then Eric stepped down as co-chair of the conference due to protest about him being a holocaust denier. When I called Kent he acted very strange, told me I would have to share a room with 10 people, made it pretty clear that he did not want me at the conference. Said if he sent me a ticket I could just cash it in, and not come to the conference. Kent told me I would have to raise the money for a plane ticket, and then he would reimburse me for it. I would need about $600.00 to get down there, and then I would run the risk of not being reimbursed. Because of the way Kent behaved on the phone I don't trust him, he was gruff and rude, and now has not returned my calls, or emails.

I have been able to get $400.00 in pledges, but I really don't think I should have to pay for anything.

But eventually Alfons decided to go:

With a lot of help from my friends, mostly v911ters, I have the plane ticket (a good deal at 400 bucks one stop 8 hours total time, saw tickets prices at up to 1400 for coach), now I have to get enough for a cab ride to the airport. I am working on a way to get nearer to the airport via bus, then take a cab the rest of the way, saving 30 bucks. I am going to ask some friends here for a ride, I hate to impose, but I will if I have to. I have a friend that lives in Chandler, a Truther, so I have the ride from the Phoenix airport to the conference covered.

But Alfons' problems didn't stop there:

Members help me out here please. How should I respond to Kent's query? Kent is the chair at the 9/11 Accountability: Strategies and Solutions Conference. He seems to think v911t does not deserve to speak at this conference. He seems to want to put me in a small room off to the side, the Dialog Room.

Kent Quote:
"We need to know what Veterans have to say about 911 Accountability. If it doesn't deal directly with 911 Accountability then it might fit better in the Dialogue Room."

Sounds like a regular Chinese Fire Drill. According to the Vendors' page, 22 of 39 vendors' booths are taken. The conference schedule is ever-changing; the Scholars United panel is now less optimistically titled "Scholars Discussion". Entertainment on Friday evening includes "911 Humor With Ray Villa". Let me guess, "Boxcutters? Hahaha!"
