Pope Benedict XVI is to resign for reasons relating to his health, according to a Vatican spokesperson. He’s the first head of the Catholic Church to quit the highest post since the Middle Ages.
The 85-year-old is due to step down on February 28. The Pope said he is “fully aware of the gravity of this gesture” but that he lacks the strength to govern Church due to age, according to Vatican’s spokesperson Federico Lombardi.

Amid a massive manhunt for the fugitive LA ex-cop suspected of having killed three people, authorities announced a reward of $1 million for information leading to his arrest.
“Hopefully, the reward will motivate people that may be involved with assisting him or might be reluctant to talk to us to call us and to put an end to this,” Sgt. Rudy Lopez said ahead of the announcement by LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Sunday. Continue reading “$1 million reward offered for fugitive LA ex-cop”
If you’re ready for some gallows humor about this whole Christopher Dorner situation, head on over to eBay.
There you’ll find a bumper sticker that reads “Don’t Shoot! I’m NOT DORNER!!” Get it? Because so far the LAPD has fired at two Hispanic women and the Torrance Police Department fired at a white man.

I saw two Russian soldiers in the Asheville Mall, Asheville, NC last night, Friday 2/9. They were walking towards me, two young men who didn’t look much older than 16 to me. They were both probably 6′-4″, but didn’t look like they weighed 150lb.
They were both wearing full camo fatigues and what struck me first was the camo patterns were different from what I had seen. But the camo patterns each had on were different from one another (one was a dark digital, the other more of a darker woodlands). Continue reading “Russian Soldiers in Asheville Mall, South Carolina”

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – It’s a mysterious, newly discovered disease that strikes mainly young women, and it’s often misdiagnosed. Doctors who discovered it, here in Philadelphia, say it’s like your brain is on fire. 3 On Your Side Health Reporter Stephanie Stahl says it starts with personality changes.
Young women dazed, restrained in hospital beds, acting possessed and then becoming catatonic. They’d been so normal, when suddenly their lives went haywire. Continue reading “Health: Mysterious Disease Discovered Locally, Strikes Mainly Young Women”

Slashing through the bland authoritative front the media have presented, people want to know more about the Sandy Hook massacre. But the elite networks have no intention of answering the most obvious questions.
Why? Because the follow-up agenda of gun control is all important, and the official Sandy Hook scenario must stand, in order to forward that agenda. Continue reading “10 things the media don’t want to discover about Sandy Hook”
End the Lie – by Madison Ruppert
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a new amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals asking the court to reconsider a finding allowing people to enter private homes and conduct warrantless video surveillance.
While a decision like that might seem totally insane to some readers of End the Lie, it should be noted that federal Judge William Griesbach, the chief judge in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, ruled that federal agents can enter private property without permission and place hidden surveillance cameras without a warrant.

To push the release of its “Stop and Frisk Watch” iPhone app today, the NYCLU released a short clip of police officers demonstrating the technology on the previously mentioned Android version. Whereas the technology was designed with the hope of “[empowering] New Yorkers to confront abusive, discriminatory policing” by allowing them to tape the controversial searches in action and submit them for a legal review, the NYPD officers in the promo just giggle, say bad words, and give the middle finger. Continue reading “Cops Inadvertently Endorse Stop-and-Frisk iPhone App”
The ATF has another failed gun operation on their hands. Undercover agents in Milwaukee, WI posed as store workers at a company called Fearless Distributing and ran “a storefront sting aimed at busting criminal operations in the city by purchasing drugs and guns from felons.”
The sting was filled with mistakes over the course of its 10 months. The operation ended after someone broke into the storefront and stole $35,000 in merchandise, including an ATF military-style machine gun that ended up on the city’s streets. No big time arrests were made, only low-level players were apprehended and charged with gun possession. In at least three cases, the police captured the wrong person. In one instance, police charged a man who was already in prison when the agents said he was selling drugs to them. Continue reading “ATF Wisconsin Gun Operation Loaded with Mistakes, No Oversight”

Ahmadinejad is ready for directs talks with Uncle Sam if Occident stops pressuring his country. Ahmadinejad says: You pull away the gun from the face of the Iranian nation, I myself will enter the talks with you. Israel wants to attack Iran, but we’re not preparing any attack against them because the purpose of our program is purely defense.
Ahmadinejad’s statement is in stark contrast to the words of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: Some naive people like the idea of negotiating with America, however, negotiations will not solve the problem. If some people want American rule to be established again in Iran, the nation will rise up to face them. American policy in the Middle East has been destroyed and Americans now need to play a new card. That card is dragging Iran into negotiations. Since the 1979 revolution the United States had gravely insulted Iran and continued to do so with its threat of military action. You take up arms against the nation of Iran and say: negotiate or we fire. But you should know that pressure and negotiations are not compatible and our nation will not be intimidated by these actions. Continue reading “Ahmadinejad Is Ready For Direct Talks With Uncle Sam”
Anti-gun activists are currently engaging in deliberate deception in the manner in which they describe their intent and in the terms they use to drum up public support for more infringements on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The general public at large is oblivious to the deception due to the death of real journalism in America, which is supposed to treat the pronouncements of government and special interests with healthy skepticism. Thus, the mainstream media merely parrots what they are being fed from the Obama administration and leftwing politicians and special interests.
