I think it should have been a warning sign at the time when Ardern ordered that the name of the shooter can't even be mentioned in the media.

It was not just a sign that something with the Christchurch shooting wasn't quite right but also, and more importantly, what type of 'leader' Ardern is. A few years later and it became very obvious indeed.

That is all true. For many reasons. But I am seeking reference. We have just been delivered another gigantic conundrum concerning authenticity of a murder in Dallas, 60yrs or so ago; probably fantasy, but considerable effort has gone into it.

While on the ground, recently, another fantastic ‘origin’ story lies open on the street of a far away land also with no forensics - no real forensics now - to back it up. It is a story. There is a story-line.

How do we establish truth? Of the hundreds of other onlookers that day not one even glanced at that spot, nor took a walk along the footpath line where 27shots were fired, in the video. At nothing.

So those correlated moments and realities and questions are lost. They sink into atoms.

How do we establish truth, when it is in front of you ? But no one else is looking?

You are asking THE question. Wish I could say I have a good answer but I am very much still looking for one myself...

Thank you Michael.

Appreciate the answer.

I guess we’ll never know unless we keep trying.
