  • Blaine is the third busiest U.S./Canada border crossing
  • The U.S. border cracking down on past pot use article
  • U.S. Ports of Entry are regulated by the U.S. federal government
  • Two blocks from the border in Blaine one can buy marijuana legally
  • Non-American citizens, admitting an intention to buy or smoke marijuana
       or admitting past use, could be denied entry
  • Such admissions are not a crime
  • Marijuana is illegal federally
  • Mr. Saunders finds this all a little excessive
  • To ask about marijuana use, without any provocation, is none of their business
  • More prevalent in the three years since Washington State legalized it's use
  • A handful of officers are overzealous in their enforcement
  • Having admitted marijuana use under oath, one is deemed inadmissible for life
  • If Canada legalizes use, this problem will grow until a harmonization of laws
  • Len's client, Ted, signed a sworn statement after a four hour interrogation
  • Never sign anything at a Port of Entry - ever
  • You may be detained at a crossing for hours, they can't hold you indefinitely
  • Possession or an arrest and conviction is one thing
  • Questioning out of the blue is not any of their business
  • Most people get flustered, they get intimidated
  • Federal law supersedes State law in the U.S.
  • A waste of government resources and people's time at very busy crossings

  • Phil made two sets of discoveries on this recording
  • One, he discovered 13 shot sounds on the tape Sirhan's gun held only 8 bullets
  • Two, some of the shots occurred so close together that they couldn't have been fired from one weapon
  • Given these two discoveries, there had to be at least one more gun firing at the same time as Sirhan's gun
  • The recording proves that what Karl Uecker was testifying to for these many years is, in fact, the truth
  • Phil used several audio programs to cross-check his findings and to give him multiple perspectives of the tape
  • There were several video captures of Stanislaw Pruszynski, the man that accidentally captured the recording

  • A new branch of the service: the Air Force, a single Department of Defense
  • Intelligence ... wasn't coordinated, new ways of gathering intelligence
  • CIA is created to coordinate the intelligence of the rest of the government
  • An atom bomb ... has no real value until it's been delivered
  • We were made a defensive nation by the Department of Defense
  • OSS members, well-trained in covert work, came into CIA
  • OPC (Office of Policy Coordination), was to preserve certain assets

  • Directive "10-slant-2" (10/2) recognized ... covert action
  • In 1948, the Allen Dulles, William Jackson, Mathias Correa Report
  • Dulles ... saw that report as, you might say, his own Mein Kampf
  • The single primary character of the CIA is Allen Dulles
  • There is no law that says it is a covert operations agency
  • President Truman wrote, greatest mistake, to create the CIA

  • I was, "to provide military support of clandestine operations of the CIA"

  • A member of the office of the Secretary of Defense, his home is really CIA
  • We bought hundreds of airplanes for the CIA, technically for the Air Force

  • A lot of these people worked right up into the White House
  • Eisenhower, did not want the CIA to create a capability that was on-going
  • The secret of covert operations is the control of money
  • Reimbursement is very important, it keeps bills from appearing in public

  • All covert operations require foreign alliances
  • The Bay of Pig, thirteen hundred troops, is not covert
  • They didn't ask for airplanes, rifles, trucks, they already had all that
  • President Eisenhower never, never authorized an invasion of Cuba
  • The Agency told us, that their target would be an invasion of Cuba
  • The plan was to wipe out all Castro's combat aircraft

  • Maxwell Taylor was not the right man to do that.
  • Kennedy's years of Congressional experience, paid off in a big way for him
  • Member of the House and of the Senate, had grown up in the Court of St. James

  • The Kennedy administration began to stop some of these activities
  • These activities don't take place within the CIA alone, this is the Secret Team
  • "All of a sudden, people from the Pentagon are calling me buying sugar stock"
  • Leave room for the U.S. government to plausibly disclaim its role
  • They asked me for 42,000 rifles, that was not covert
