Have the New Town authorities ever given a official definitive statement of the events as they happened?
What official narrative?
I'll explain again and use a closer to home example...
when the news reports anything it constantly changes for many reasons. When they get to a scene they want to be the first to report on it. At the Richmond Hills explosion the NEWS first called it a plane crash. Once the fire died down and there was no wreckage and the FAA wasn't milling about, they called it a Meth Lab. Once they talked to the PIO, who only gives out little bits of information to protect the case, they called it a possible gas leak ACCIDENT and tried to freak everyone out that your house could do the same thing. This is when the internet morons came in and explained it was a drone crash that later changed to drone attack where the missiles missed it's target...sadly other morons believed them. Once the police caught the guys the news got a copy of the warrants for each and finally had the real story.
Just because the story changed doesn't mean there was a giant conspiracy. That is the nature of "the news". If there was a law that limited the news to only reporting on things they knew where 100% they'd come out every day say the sky is blue then go back inside.
