“Secrets of a Hollywood Private Eye”
with Burl Barer
Secrets of a Hollywood Private Eye is a white-hot, page turner expose of cheating spouses, greedy conmen, easily duped superstars, jealous directors, kidnapped children, and every type of civil and criminal caper imaginable in a town known for tinsel and glitter.
This compelling compendium of stranger than fiction cases from the files of Fred Wolfson, PI, take him not only to the exclusive Bel Air and Beverly Hills haunts of the rich and famous, but also to the hooker strewn street corners of seedy Hollywood Blvd, criminal hideouts in South America, and terrorist investigations in Saudi Arabia.

Bradley Jardis on TRUE CRIMES next Saturday 2pm Pacific Time/4pm Central/5pm Eastern
Police Officer Bradley Jardis speaks on on True Crimes about ending the failed War on Drugs.
"A great deal of good for our society can come from ending the failed War on Drugs"
Bradley Jardis has served as a police officer in the State of New Hampshire since March of 1999. He took his oath of office three months before graduating from high school and graduated from the Part-Time New Hampshire Police Academy before finishing his high school obligations. Bradley is proud to serve the people of his state and takes his oath to uphold the law very seriously.
It is with the same dedication to protect and serve that he now opposes the "War on Drugs."
As a law enforcement officer, Bradley has seen the detrimental effects of the drug war on citizens from all walks of life. He understands many victims of theft and violence to be victims of drug prohibition; victims that could be avoided if we adopt a more rational and ethical approach to our nation's drug problems. He argues that the lessons learned from our enforcement of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act should apply equally to our contemporary prohibition of drugs.
Bradley joined LEAP because he believes that a great deal of good for our society can come from ending the failed "War on Drugs." He stands firm in his conviction that by legalizing and adopting stringent regulations for all drugs, we would achieve the following results:
- Citizens who are addicted to dangerous drugs could safely obtain the drugs they need under proper medical supervision with the ultimate goal of being drug free. Drug dealers want to sell more drugs to their users, doctors could help lessen the quantity of drugs consumed.
- Violent criminal and terrorist organizations would no longer profit from drug distribution.
- Above all‹it would be much easier to educate and keep drugs out of the hands of our children.
Bradley hopes that by donating his time as a citizen to LEAP and our mission to educate the public on the myths and realities of the drug war, he can help change the drug laws that he is sworn to enforce
December 2008 marked the 75th anniversary of the end of alcohol prohibition. When America’s leaders repealed alcohol prohibition,it wasn't because they suddenly decided that liquor was safe and that everyone should drink. Rather, it was because they were tired of gangsters raking in rich illegal profits and terrorizing neighborhoods. And we simply could not afford to keep enforcing the failed prohibition during the Great Depression, our nation's worst economic crisis. Today, America is in the grip of a new economic crisis, but we keep paying for an even more devastating prohibition, the "war on drugs." New Hampshire Police officer Brad Jardis speaks out against the War on Drugs -- and he is still on the police force -- and on TRUE CRIMES next Saturday 2pm Pacific/4pm Central/5pm Eastern!
Meanwhile....in the Pacific Northwest.... SEATTLE, WA -- A Mountlake Terrace police sergeant who was fired after publicly criticizing the "war on drugs" has reached an $812,500 settlement in a lawsuit he filed against the city and police department, among others. Under the settlement, Sergeant Jonathan Wender has been reinstated on the force and is eligible to receive back pay and full retirement benefits.
Sgt. Wender joined the police force in 1990 after graduating from college and was terminated in 2005. He holds a Pd.D. from Simon Fraser University and is currently a full-time sociology professor at the University of Washington. As part of the settlement, Sgt. Wender is back on the payroll at the Mountlake Terrace Police Department, where he will serve on administrative leave until he retires from the force on November 10, 2010 and can then qualify for his full pension.
"Jonathan Wender's victory is ours, as well. As was his fight," said Norm Stamper, the retired Seattle police chief and LEAP member. "Because of this fine man's courage and perseverance, and his willingness to tell the truth about the 'drug war,' we've all moved closer to putting an end to that war. I believe police officers across the country will be moved by Jonathan's example, and will raise their voices in support of LEAP's goal of ending drug prohibition."
The lawsuit was filed against the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, the Mountlake Terrace Police Department, the City of Mountlake Terrace, the City of Lynnwood, and a handful of individual defendants.

In the 1982 Texas election for governor, Steven Long asked the incumbent, Bill Clements, a question that changed the state’s history. “Would you appoint a consumer, for example, a housewife, to the Texas Public Utilities Commission?” The governor blundered and answered, “There isn’t a housewife in Texas qualified to serve on the PUC.” He lost the election.
