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. In both cases, police said they thought they were firing at Dorner. There’s a window decal, too. (h/t Reddit) Continue reading “‘Don’t Shoot! I’m NOT DORNER!!’ Bumper Stickers Hit eBay”

russian flagSteve Quayle Alert

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).

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”

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.

ATFBadgeBreitbart – by Mary Chastain

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”
