Kuvaus

In this haunting episode of Black Tape Report, host William Brown unpacks the devastating legacy of Purdue Pharma — the company that turned pain into profit and reshaped American medicine through a single pill: OxyContin. From its rise in the 1990s to its collapse under lawsuits and scandal, this uninterrupted narrative exposes the marketing machine, the buried warnings, and the corporate silence that helped ignite the opioid epidemic. Behind the prescriptions and profits were lives shattered by addiction, overdoses, and loss. This is not just a story about a drug. It's about a system that sold relief and delivered a crisis. And the bill is still coming due.

JFK’s Quiet Move: The Executive Order That Sparked a Thousand Theories

On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 — a short, technical directive that has since become one of the most debated documents in American monetary history. Was it a bureaucratic adjustment during a transition away from silver-backed currency — or a bold challenge to the Federal Reserve’s monopoly over money creation? And did it play a role in JFK’s assassination just five months later?  In this episode of Black Tape Report, we peel back the legend and follow the paper trail. We explore what EO 11110 really did, why it’s been called everything from meaningless to revolutionary, and how it evolved from an obscure footnote to a supposed “smoking gun.” Was it a genuine act of monetary rebellion — or just another myth wrapped in silver?  No scripts. No speculation for spectacle. Just the facts, the history, and the questions that still remain.
