Barbara Honegger
[edit]I have removed the following section:
- In a 17 December 1992 press conference at the National Press Club, responding to the Senate report, Barbara Honegger (who published a book on October Surprise in 1989 on the day Brenneke was indicted for false declarations) introduced new evidence, saying that an expert graphologist's examination of the critical credit card receipts for a motel and a restaurant in October 1980 indicated the handwriting was not Brenneke's. Honegger also said that a manager of the relevant restaurant who had been there since 1979 told her that no waitress by the name on the receipt had worked there. Honegger also spoke to the organisers of a Kendo tournament Brenneke was said to have attended, who told her that there was no record of Brenneke attending the event, while five eyewitnesses agreed that Brenneke had not been present on 19–20 October (one said he had been there on 18 October).[1]
- ^ October Surprise Press Conference - Barbara Honegger - 1992, c 8-20 mins into recording.
Honegger is not a reliable source of information for anything regarding the October Surprise conspiracy theory. Honegger's claim was checked and refuted. Page 150 of the report of the House October Surprise Task Force indicates that that handwriting on the receipts was Brenneke's[2] and the footnote points to an FBI lab report dated December 23, 1992.[3] -Location (talk) 15:31, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter that Honegger is not a reliable source. You're taking out important testimony regarding the Task Force, rather than stating what you said as counterpoint. That kind of obfuscation only furthers the idea that something is being hidden. 2605:6000:F243:DB00:3060:E364:D8FE:B72F (talk) 03:25, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Actually, it’s pretty much Wikipedia policy that articles are built upon reliable sources (see WP:V). There are plenty of other outlets on the internet for conspiracists to place their pet theories. - Location (talk) 11:01, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
