Mike Hardwick

Quite interesting so far I think. Few sound problems and it's a bit of a pain not being able to hear the questions answered after each presentation. Highlight so far or me was Casey Quinlan's hour.

I don't think you realise, Michael, how deep this goes. I work about a minutes walk away from the Cavern Club, where John Lennon played with popular beat combo 'The Beatles". About two minutes walk beyond the Cavern is the site where John Wilkes Booth's dad used to appear in productions in a local theatre (Theatre Royal Liverpool, WIlliamson Square). I live in Bootle, up the road from where Tony Blairs wife, Cherie Booth, John Wilkes Booth's reputed descendant, is from. Hmm? Essentially, I'm not sure we've ever been told where, exactly, Bilderburg alumni Tony Blair was on the 22nd November 1963?

I heard the podcast a few days ago and think Doug is 100% on the money.

I played this game when it came out. I remember there was quite a controversy about it, and whether it was in bad taste. The object of the game was to replicate the shots supposedly fired by Oswald, but it was just so repetitive, as a game, that I dropped it pretty quickly. That was all before my interest in the case, I'd probably get more out of it now. The graphics and mechanics were great for the time though.

That sort of chimes with what I heard Oliver Stone say in an interview the other day, when publicizing the documentary, that the CIA invented the term 'conspiracy theorist', to be used to describe those who disagreed with an 'official' story or explanation.

Interest in 20th century history, WW2, the Cold War and associated political ideologies. Particular interest in the local history of both Liverpool and Bootle. All stemming from seeing a picture of my family home, taken during the May 1941 Blitz. Spends time dragging loved ones around Europe visiting places connected to my interests, under the guise that it’s a city-break holiday. Born 1974 and living in Bootle, UK
