The Manhattan Project

The Manhattan Project

On this episode, the first in Season 9, we get stuck into the vast and sprawling history of The Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb. The creation and utilisation of such an unbelievably powerful weapon changed the dynamics of power globally and the results are still being felt today. The Manhattan Project was a WWII initiative which brought together the most brilliant of minds to conceptualise and then develop a weapon formidable enough to compel the Axis powers to capitulate. Spearheaded by the now infamous J. Robert Oppenheimer and his macho military counterpart General Leslie Groves, the project mobilised an extensive team of globally reknowned physicists at a secret encampment in New Mexico called Los Alamos. There they collaborated on their own theories and advanced human knowledge leaps and bounds in such a short time; focussing primarily on the new school of their craft, quantum physics and then more practically the design and production of weapons-grade nuclear materials and a mean by which to blow them up! All this was being done amidst fears of Nazi Germany's parallel efforts, the Allied forces hastened to pioneer this groundbreaking technology and have it ready to fire before the lads got their shot off somewhere. Unfortunately for the more trigger happy of the US military elite, Germany's surrender before the bomb was battle-ready meant that the remaining Japanese Imperial forces faced the consequences, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffering atomic attacks in August 1945. These bombings, which abruptly ended the war after years of massive conventional bombardments, underscored the terrifying potency of nuclear arms and marked the apex of scientific ingenuity yielding the most destructive force known to humanity.

The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy

The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we discuss the somewhat overshadowed assassination of Bobby Kennedy. Younger brother to the infamous JFK, former Attourney General and at the time of his death, highly probable candidate for the next President of the United States. Hewas gunned down, under suspicious circumstances on June 6th, 1968 in the Ambassador Hotel at the hands of purported mind controlvictim Sirhan Sirhan. Bobby Kennedy was on the fast track to the White House, withalliances with civil rights leaders and the vehement support oftheir followers, a very public and heart warming affinity to thelower classes in America, and a very vocal distaste for theestablishment that had poisoned the America the Kennedy brothershad in mind at the start of the 60s. All of these and his campaign promises to end war and make the unjust pay for their deeds, madehim a prime target for assassination. With a vast back catalog of enemies from his time on the Senate Committee for Investigations, confronting mob bosses and unionleaders, to his time as Attourney General where he sought to bringthe untouchable forces of eveil in the US to justice; Bobby made many enemies. Some of which he brought into his relationship with JFK and the guilt that racked him after Jack was shot, changed himfrom a fighter to a leader. We talk about all this and mind control and hypnosis, the CIA and Castro, about what happened in thekictchen of the AMbassador and who could have made the plot to killthe almost surely future president, and about his relationshipswith powerful men and the reasons they had to have him dead. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
