Episode 4-The Sacklers’ Did it -Part 2
Hi, Welcome to The Chattory, with me -Jazz O’Brien. I hope that life is treating you kindly wherever you are listening from and that you are all settled and ready for another instalment in our marathon four-part episode over four nights. The Sackler's Did It-Part 1  was released last night-31st May. This is part two coming up, Part 3 will be released tomorrow on June  2nd at 10 pm and part 4 on June 3rd  at 10 pm.    So, just to remind you then last night we introduced the Sackler Family and said that over 4 nights we would look at four key questions in order to get to the bottom of this whole state of affairs.     In part 1, which was yesterday's episode we set the scene by discussing who the Sackler's are and something about their background: So, without further ado lets move onto tonights focus which is:     What did the Sackler’s do?     We said in Part 1 that before he died, The last surviving Sackler brother-Raymond told his children they should leave the world a better place than when they entered it- you can decide for yourselves then whether or not some of the Sackler kids have achieved that while we look at this second question maybe. Let's see.   In America, all medications for human or animal  consumption must be approved by the US Food and Drug Agency. The agency is more frequently referred to as the FDA and that’s how we shall refer to it going forward.   In 1994 then, The Sackler’s decided to apply to the FDA for a licence to market and sell  a prescription medication or drug  by way of a tablet called Oxycontin. The tablet was based on an earlier tablet sold by the Sackler’s which had been marketed between 1916-1990 but had been banned due to addiction problems. The only real difference as far as I understand is the ‘delivery system’ which Oxycontin used and which the Sackler's earlier pill did not use. Both contained the active ingredient Oxycodone but Oxycontin is a ‘slow release’ drug. This basically means that the tablet is wrapped in a purple film or coating which dissolves within a patients system over a period of time, and more specifically over a period of either 12 or 24 hours depending on whether one or two tablets are taken. Years later these purple tablets would be referred to by drug addicts, who purchased them for 40 USD each and who removed the purple film, crushed, snorted and injected the tablet as purple peelers.    Perdue advised that in most cases two doses should be taken 12 hours apart and therefore the maximum impact of 24 hours a day 7 days a week of pain free life could be achieved. #Sacklerfamily #Opioids #Perdue #1percentmyth #ArthurSackler #TheChattory #Podcast

Episode 3-The Shugborough Hall Cipher
  This is a topic I had vaguely heard of whilst reading some article or other years back but on further investigation I was amazed by the links this subject makes to all kinds of other areas and the breadth of information out there on this. I learnt a lot and frankly found the whole thing very entertaining. Let me ask you then, what connects a former Monastery turned stately home, a French artist, Oak Island in Nova Scotia- Canada, the pyramids of Egypt, a medieval graffiti artist, The Bletchley Code Breakers, Dan Browns book The da Vinci Code, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Josiah Wedgewood, and Jesus -Yes, that’s right I said Jesus? Well, let’s get into it and I will tell you because these are just a few of the twists and turns we will detail today.

Episode 2-Missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in the USA
In this episode, Jazz takes a look at the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls which is an epidemic blighting reservations across America and Canada and the system which far from protecting them fails, lets them and their communities down and arguably facilitates their untimely deaths.   References     https://www.iwgia.org/en/usa.html https://www.commerce.gov/news/blog/2022/01/us-population-estimated-332403650-jan-1-2022 https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/native-american-population https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-changed-after-europeans-killed-indigenous-americans-2019-2?r=US&IR=T https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/25/us/native-women-girls-missing.html https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/25/us/mary-johnson-missing-indigenous-women-crisis/index.html https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/474252-better-communication-could-help-us-find-more https://www.nativehope.org/en-us/understanding-the-issue-of-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women https://news.nau.edu/austin-missing-murdered-indigenous/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib0GDAPeymo ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arGAU8E_QZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjI3hw07mY0 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/25/native-americans-families-missing-murdered-indigenous https://www.aljazeera.com/program/fault-lines/2019/5/8/the-search-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSRDZ3KdBSc https://www.ktvq.com/news/crime-watch/kaysera-stops-at-pretty-places-new-report-details-investigation-into-death-of-crow-woman https://www.justice.gov/file/1475516/download https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2021-11-01/the-link-between-missing-indigenous-women-and-missing-data https://www.bia.gov/service/mmu/missing-and-murdered-indigenous-people-crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25RSLxVCgnc https://youtu.be/Fx0A7iA128U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tihThRYz4
