  • The MOU to nowhere

    George Rebane

    The much touted memorandum of understanding is an exhibit of Trump’s weakest and desperate attempt to get some kind, any kind, of an agreement with the perennially recalcitrant Iranian thugs to get Hormuz to some semblance of ‘open’.  Unabashedly our president is giving up much while claiming progress toward a lasting mid-east peace.  Instead, as I’ve stated before, he is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by refusing to start the systematically staged destruction of Iran’s infrastructure – IMHO the only path to a true solution and victory over the mullahs.  Here is a summary of how the MOU falls short of its celebrated PR campaign.

    Based on the details surrounding the June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran, several key provisions demanded by President Trump and his administration were notably excluded or deferred.

    While the announced framework focuses on ending direct hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, here are the key demands that will not be explicitly enforced in the MOU:

    • Immediate Surrender of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU): Trump explicitly demanded that the MOU include concrete steps for the U.S. to immediately secure Iran’s highly enriched uranium and impose a complete moratorium on its nuclear program. Instead, the agreement defers these issues to a 60-day window for further technical negotiations.
    • Limits on the Ballistic Missile Program: The administration heavily pushed for strict curbs on Iran’s missile development capabilities. According to leaked details from Iranian state-affiliated media, the missile program is explicitly excluded from the scope of the MOU and any future negotiations.
    • Cessation of Support for Regional Proxies: The U.S. sought to include a binding commitment from Iran to stop funding, arming, and supporting its allied armed groups across the Middle East. Like the missile program, this has reportedly been left off the negotiation agenda entirely.
    • Concrete Mechanisms for Securing the Strait of Hormuz: Trump asked for tightened, non-negotiable language guaranteeing the U.S. terms for reopening the strait. However, the final text reportedly leaves the reopening subject to “Iranian arrangements,” falling short of the strict U.S.-controlled guarantees initially demanded.

    Both sides are currently racing to control the narrative of the agreement, but the text ultimately defers the most contentious nuclear issues and entirely sidesteps Iran’s broader regional military network.  That is what political surrender looks like.

    [The Democrats, our nation’s anti-American party, seeks every way possible to subvert our elections.  One of their main tactics is to either eliminate the need for voter IDs or unabashedly make the ID laws existentially ineffective.  In California you can register to vote with your drug prescription, or your criminal discharge certificate, or 20 other ways (here) – to obtain almost all of which have no requirement to establish one’s real ID with a passport, birth certificate, naturalization papers, etc. gjr]

    Iran’s downing of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter with one of its sophisticated drones has now changed the face of warfare in the Strait of Hormuz.  While the details of the shoot-down are not yet known, it is clear that the Iranians have some very advanced and deadly drones that can either intercept our aircraft undetected, or can launch a standoff air-to-air missile that our aircraft cannot evade.  It was this capability with the Taliban’s (US supplied) shoulder-fired Stingers in Afghanistan that finally caused the Soviets to pull their troops out and give up the latest European attempt to conquer that country.  If the mullahs now have such weaponry, the whole ballgame in that war has changed.  The only alternatives left for us then is drone warfare and/or boots on the ground – both are slow, expensive, and politically dangerous for the Republicans.  The media has yet to pick up on this sea change.

    Evidence of ongoing delusion in the White House.  As our president continues to prevaricate while Iran demonstrates its ability to shut down Hormuz and shoot down our gunship helicopters, he responds with, “If we do the bombing, you know a lot of people are going to be killed. Who wants to do that? I don’t,” Trump told reporters in New York on Tuesday morning. “We’ll have a signed document that’s actually stronger than doing the bombing.”  Stronger document??!! From Iran??!!  This statement is made in the face of a half century of Iran not living up to a single agreement or document it has signed.  “Doing the bombing” has always been the only thing that the murderous, lying ragheads have ever understood.

    [11jun26 update]  Well, he’s finally “doing the bombing”. Almost, but still in a half-assed manner going after radar sites, launchers, and command/control facilities.  Hammering these has never had a measurable effect on Iran’s ability to continue launching massive numbers of drones and missiles (they’re not ‘ballistic’).  Latest word is that he’s again falling for the Iranian ropa-dope negotiating delays. Doing the bombing will have the desired impact only when we begin taking out transportation infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, railway yards, …,) then advance to their power grid by destroying distribution facilities, transmission lines, generating stations, …, and finally moving up to their fossil fuel infrastructure hitting storage facilities, pipelines, pumping stations, tanker terminals, and refineries (leave the oil/gas fields alone).  I’ve outlined this progression before, and now is past the time to start doing it.  Today’s watchword from the White House is again ‘better never than late’.

  • A Dark Age of the Mind Threatens

    George Rebane

    Intellectual savant and libertarian Jeffery Tucker offers us some very insightful conclusions about “intellectual obesity” in his ‘The Backlash Against the Screen’.  He points the finger directly at the way high tech and specifically AI is being misused and well on its way to creating an entire generation of double dummies.  The downturn began with the introduction of smartphones and pads into the hands of students.

    At the time, twenty years ago, technology was heralded as ushering in a new epoch in education to produce a new legion of smarter than ever graduates for our workforce.  The resulting reality was exactly the opposite; test scores kept going down and the students became more intellectually handicapped than ever.  Of the hits our kids took from technology, Tucker tells us that “The impact (of AI) on thinking is more dramatic. There is no real shortcut to training the human mind. It requires time, work, memorization, logical puzzles, the formation of a clarity of mind, a narrative of history, deep reading of the classics, and mastery over tools such as language, math, and science—plus the development of technical facility in reading and otherwise.”

    It does not take a genius to see how this kind of educational upbringing has created a cohort of younger voters who will gladly swallow hook, line, and sinker from the likes of Mamdani, Sanders, AOC, and Warren.  The result is the plague of collective governance that has conquered our major urban centers and is now spreading across America.  A new technologically abetted dark age threatens.

  • Election Reflections – 4jun26 (updated 9jun26)

    George Rebane

    Let me begin by again pointing out more of the marbled attributes of ignorance and evil that are imbued throughout the Democratic Party.  In this case it’s their support of California’s inability to present election results in a timely manner like the other states.  One liberal bureaucrat this morning argued that it was not the state’s incompetence that year after year causes these corruption-inviting delays, but the process was reasonable “because it is the state law” that we look like the nation’s dumbasses in this and in so many other ways.  ‘We’ll keep counting until we get the right winner.’

    The Dems are hellbent this year to regain control of Congress no matter what it takes and who they will support.  Since their radical left now controls the party, they have no problem in supporting openly socialist and communist candidates spouting ideological principles that in past years would have ended their political careers.  Socialism infects developed countries (e.g. the EU) bit by piece and no longer requires a violent revolution to become ensconced.  The US is well on its way to follow Europe’s ongoing tragedies of governance.

    In Maine the Democrats are fielding Graham Platner running against longtime Republican incumbent Susan Collins for the Senate.  Platner is a blazing socialist and an unrepentant antisemite with so much baggage that would have disqualified him instantly if the Democrats still practiced a smidgeon of principles.  But now they support him wholeheartedly while ducking questions to explain his past.

    Another illustration of how low this socialist anti-American party has sunk, we witness in Alaska where the Democrats have dug up a nobody to run against the Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan.  The nobody is also named Dan Sullivan and campaigns as a ‘Republican’ with ads and election materials that mimic the look and content of the established Republican contender.  The entire aim here is to fool the Alaskan voter to split the Republican vote between the legitimate Sullivan and the “sham candidate” Sullivan, thereby giving the legitimate Democrat candidate Mary Peltola a chance to beat her incumbent opponent.  And no one in the Democrat leadership acknowledges this obvious electoral subterfuge.

    [9jun26 update]  What do you think the chances are that from a batch of 24,834 post-election votes for LA mayor that not one of them was for the Republican Spencer Pratt who was in a comfortable second place ahead of socialist Nithya Raman.  Raman, lagging in distant third, came out of nowhere with the mail-in ballot count to knock Pratt out of the race, leaving incumbent Karen Bass and her to be the LA voters’ choices for another term of drastically incompetent city leadership.  And the mail-in ballots themselves are a joke, accepted with handwritten fake dates, animals voting, no organized chain of custody, etc.

    The TV talking heads reporting on these travesties in the California vote keep blaming the corrupt politicians and vote counting bureaucrats.  They totally miss the obvious reason for California’s dysfunctional voting system – it’s the idiot voters who are to blame.  It is they who remain uninformed and continue to automatically vote for ‘the brand’ who make it all happen.  And that ignorant demographic is not going to change any time soon.  Just look at the IQ bell curve and the reported academic results of the recent generation of public school ‘graduates’.  California’s leftwing political monopoly is alive and well, with no signs that it will change during the life of those alive now.

    When contemplating the nature and future of our democratic republic, we should always recall the words of our Founders.  The form of governance they bequeathed us would survive only so long as our electorate remained sufficiently educated and culturally cohesive.  Today neither condition holds.  Thomas Jefferson summed it for the ages with ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’

    George Rebane

    Vice President JD Vance’s fraud task force is uncovering fraud and abuse amounting to billions of dollars across the land, led, of course, by California.  The process of uncovering these sites of fraud, including drafting appropriate legislation, is generally opposed by Democrats.  And this opposition is in response to the asymmetrical results that turn up in the data.  While one can identify fraud perpetrated by both Republicans and Democrats, the lion’s share of incidents of fraud by far are perpetrated by/under Democrat administrations in the nation’s blue cities and states.  The Dems and their lamestream lackeys have no intention of letting such findings see the light of day in the country’s public forums.

    The Iran negotiations are DOA, the doubtful twinkle of hope that I cited on 25 May has gone out.  Right leaning media’s talking heads are now starting to openly question President Trump’s prevarication and delay in displaying the next round of overwhelming force to let the ragheads know that their delay tactics in this election year, no matter the help from Democrats, will not work.  But so far these voices have not made a dent in Trump’s ongoing tactics which are just limited to ‘defensive kinetics’ that attack launch sites of the missiles and drones that Iran is using against its neighbors and commercial shipping in the strait which remains under Iran’s control no matter the bravado from the White House.

    [Added later]  The progress toward a deal with Iran announced today smells badly.  The White House reports that agreement is close on nuclear weapons development, disposition of enriched uranium, and opening Hormuz, items which will be finalized in the next 60-90 days.  These three items have long been announced as being non-negotiable – Iran stops all nuclear development forever, gives us the uranium, and restores Hormuz as a freely navigable international waterway.  If these three are still on the table, it means that Trump has caved, and in the worst way imaginable allowing another 2-3 months to pass before Iran will inevitably renig on every item it accepted during this interval.  Iran knows that stringing the US out until the even of the election will put the US (aka Republicans) under tremendous pressure to resolve the conflict under any conditions no matter how unacceptable they have been until now.

    [1jun26 update]  California voters have the highest and most persistent share of double dummies in the nation.  Today Democrat Steyer has climbed to second place in the governor poll right behind first place Democrat Becerra, thereby moving Republican Hilton down to third.  For decades our Democrat voters are the poster children of Einsteinian insanity, they have no clue as to what has caused the state to go into the toilet, and a good portion of them don’t even know how California ranks in the nation in crime, welfare, taxes, stifling regulations, homelessness, illegal aliens, government fraud, and climate hysteria.  Their fundamental belief is that ever more taxes on ‘the rich’ and businesses will solve all of California’s problems.

    [Several polls have recently come out confirming President Reagan’s famous quote, “The nine most frightful words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”. The more famous corollary to that quote is his, “The government is not the solution to our problem, the government is the problem.” The poll numbers indicate that four out of five Americans believe that government causes the overwhelming share of our country’s problems. The part that’s hard to understand then is why so many voters in the land cannot connect the dots and keep voting in politicians who promise to increase the size and involvement of government in our affairs. gjr]

  • A doubtful twinkle at the end of the Iran tunnel

    George Rebane

    The ongoing Iran imbroglio is described by Gerard Baker (writes for the WSJ and London Times) in a level-headed piece, ‘History Repeats in Iran’.  I have been critical of President Trump’s diffidence on completing the Iran war that borders on pusillanimity (accurate words that are usually above my pay grade).  However, Baker views the conflict as “an asymmetrical 21st-century war where Iran defines victory simply as survival, utilizing asymmetric tactics to offset superior American and Israeli military strength.”  Gemini correctly summarizes his key points –

    The Asymmetric Strategy

    • “Not Losing” is Winning: Baker argues that Iran knows it cannot defeat the U.S. or Israel in a direct, conventional war. Instead, it exploits power imbalances through proxy warfare and terrorism to exhaust the resolve of its more powerful adversaries.
    • Strategic Wear and Tear: While the U.S. aims for decisive outcomes, Iran plays a long game, relying on time and survival to achieve strategic advantages.

    Critique of the U.S. Approach

    • Faltering Operations: In his column, Baker observed that the ongoing military operations against Iran appear to be failing to meet U.S. objectives. He has questioned the escalation, suggesting the U.S. faces the “ugly choice” of either accepting unsatisfactory ends or wading deeper into a difficult and complex conflict.
    • Messaging and Propaganda: Baker has delivered striking rebukes of the Trump administration’s messaging regarding the conflict. He expressed concern over the lack of clear objectives and timelines, comparing the administration’s contradictory rhetoric about the war’s progress to the unreliable narratives of wartime propagandists.

  • Tenets of Collectivism and Capitalism

    George Rebane

    On this Memorial Day 2026 it is appropriate to remember and honor the uncountable thousands of Americans who have sacrificed their lives to preserve the capitalistic structure of our governance as bequeathed us by our Founders.  These principles must be understood in stark contrast to collectivism, the opposing principles of governance that has given rise to untold human suffering over the last century.  All of these tenets for both organizations of society have been covered in these pages over the last twenty years.  Here I wish present a concise and clear summary that can be understood by America’s rank and file voters.  This presentation also lays open the longstanding refusal by our leftwing contingent, aka Democrats, in their refusal to openly state and/or publicly debate the contrasting ideas on how to organize society.

    Collectivism

    Collectivism is a political philosophy that emphasizes the group, community, or society as the primary unit for organizing economic, social, and political life, rather than the individual. In governance, collectivist tenets prioritize collective ownership of resources, centralized planning for the common good, and the subordination of individual interests to those of the larger group when they conflict. This contrasts with systems that emphasize private property and individual liberty as foundational.

    The following outlines the core governance-relevant tenets, with specific manifestations under socialism and communism, presented clearly for general understanding.

    Core Tenets of Collectivism in Governance

    • Collective Ownership of the Means of Production: Key productive assets (factories, land, natural resources, large enterprises) are owned or controlled by the community, state, or workers collectively, rather than by private individuals. The goal is to prevent exploitation and ensure benefits accrue to society as a whole.
    • Centralized Economic Planning: Government or collective bodies direct resource allocation, production targets, and distribution according to societal needs, rather than market supply and demand. This aims to eliminate waste, inequality, and economic crises attributed to capitalism.
    • Priority of the Collective Good: Policies evaluate decisions based on their impact on the group (class, nation, or humanity). Individual rights, such as property or enterprise, may be limited or overridden when deemed necessary for equality or social harmony.
    • Redistribution and Social Equality: Strong mechanisms for wealth and income redistribution through taxation, state services, or direct allocation to achieve greater material equality.
    • Role of the State: The state acts as the primary instrument to advance collective interests, often with expanded powers over economic and social life.

    Tenets Specific to Socialism  Socialism applies collectivist principles within a framework that typically retains a state structure and allows for some transitional or mixed elements. Democratic socialists often emphasize electoral processes, while others favor more centralized authority.

    • Public or Worker Ownership: Major industries, utilities, transportation, and healthcare are nationalized or placed under worker cooperatives/state control. Private property in small businesses or personal items may persist, but “commanding heights” of the economy are collective.
    • Democratic or Centralized Control: In democratic variants, elected governments manage collective assets with input from citizens or unions. In more authoritarian forms, a vanguard party or state bureaucracy directs planning.
    • Universal Welfare Provision: Extensive state-funded services (education, healthcare, housing, pensions) as rights, financed by progressive taxation and public ownership profits.
    • Labor and Market Regulation: Strong trade unions, minimum wages, and price controls to protect workers. Markets may exist in limited forms but are heavily guided by state planning.
    • Evolutionary or Revolutionary Path: Achieved through reforms (democratic socialism) or more radical restructuring, with the state serving as a tool for ongoing redistribution and regulation. Governance focuses on balancing efficiency with equity.

    Tenets Specific to Communism

    Communism represents a more absolute and radical form of collectivism, often viewed as the ultimate stage following socialism. It draws heavily from Marxist theory, envisioning the complete abolition of class divisions.

    • Abolition of Private Property: All means of production become common property. Personal possessions remain, but productive assets are collectively owned with no significant private enterprise.
    • Classless and Stateless Society (Long-Term Ideal): In theory, once class antagonisms end, the state “withers away,” replaced by direct communal administration. In practice, historical communist systems maintained strong centralized states under a single party.
    • “From Each According to His Ability, To Each According to His Needs”: Distribution based on need rather than market contribution or ownership. Central planning allocates goods and services.
    • Dictatorship of the Proletariat (Transitional Phase): A revolutionary workers’ state suppresses former ruling classes to prevent counter-revolution, led by a disciplined communist party as the vanguard of the working class.
    • Planned Economy Without Markets: Complete central direction of production to serve human needs, eliminating money, wages, and profit motives over time. Internationalism is emphasized, with the aim of global worker solidarity.

    Key Governance Implications for Voters

    In collectivist systems, decision-making power concentrates in collective institutions (state agencies, workers’ councils, or party structures). This promises reduced inequality and economic security but historically involves trade-offs: expanded government authority, potential limitations on individual economic freedoms, and challenges in innovation and efficiency observed in 20th-century implementations (e.g., Soviet Union, Maoist China). Democratic socialist variants (as in some Nordic models with heavy welfare states) retain more market elements and political pluralism than orthodox communist systems.

    Voters should evaluate these tenets based on their priorities regarding equality versus liberty, central authority versus dispersed power, and empirical outcomes in different national contexts. Accurate assessment requires distinguishing aspirational theory from historical governance records.

    Capitalism

    Capitalism is an economic and political system centered on the individual and voluntary cooperation, where private individuals and enterprises own the means of production and engage in free exchange to generate wealth. In governance, capitalist tenets prioritize the protection of individual rights, especially property rights, minimal state interference in economic activity, and the use of market mechanisms to allocate resources efficiently.

    The following outlines the core governance-relevant tenets, with specifics under free markets and property rights, presented clearly for the general voter.

    Core Tenets of Capitalism in Governance

    • Private Ownership of Resources: Individuals and private entities hold primary control over land, capital, businesses, and other productive assets, rather than the state or collective bodies.
    • Voluntary Exchange and Contracts: Economic transactions occur through mutual consent between buyers and sellers, enforced by law but not directed by central planners.
    • Profit Motive and Competition: Individuals and firms pursue self-interest through innovation, efficiency, and serving consumer demands, with competition driving improvements in quality and price.
    • Limited Government Role: The state’s primary functions are to protect individual rights, enforce contracts, maintain rule of law, and provide public goods (such as national defense and basic infrastructure) that markets may underprovide. Excessive intervention is viewed as distorting natural economic signals.
    • Individual Liberty and Responsibility: Economic freedom is seen as intertwined with personal liberty. Success or failure largely depends on individual effort, risk-taking, and market outcomes, with charity and mutual aid addressing many social needs outside government mandates.

    Tenets Specific to Free Markets

    Free markets represent the operational mechanism of capitalism, relying on decentralized decision-making rather than top-down control.

    • Supply and Demand Coordination: Prices emerge naturally from the interactions of buyers and sellers, signaling scarcity, consumer preferences, and production costs. This information coordinates millions of independent decisions without central authority.
    • Open Competition: Businesses compete freely for customers, with low barriers to entry. Successful firms thrive; inefficient ones exit, reallocating resources to more valued uses.
    • Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Individuals are free to start businesses, invest capital, and introduce new products or services. Market rewards for meeting unmet needs drive technological and organizational progress.
    • Labor Markets: Workers can choose employment based on wages, conditions, and opportunities. Employers compete for talent, and wages reflect supply, demand, and productivity.
    • Minimal Regulation: Government involvement is limited to preventing fraud, enforcing contracts, and addressing clear externalities (e.g., basic environmental or safety standards). Proponents argue that heavy regulation often protects incumbents and raises costs for consumers.

    Tenets Specific to Property Rights

    Strong, clearly defined, and enforceable property rights form the foundation of capitalist governance.

    • Secure Private Property: Individuals have the right to acquire, use, transfer, or dispose of property (including land, buildings, intellectual property, and financial assets) without arbitrary interference.
    • Rule of Law Protections: Courts and legal systems impartially enforce property rights and contracts, reducing uncertainty and enabling long-term investment and planning.
    • Incentives for Stewardship and Investment: Secure ownership encourages responsible use, maintenance, and improvement of assets, as owners directly bear the costs and reap the benefits.
    • Capital Accumulation: Property rights allow individuals to save, invest, and build wealth across generations. This facilitates large-scale projects, infrastructure, and economic growth through voluntary capital markets (stocks, bonds, loans).
    • Limitation on Eminent Domain and Seizure: Government takings of private property are restricted to genuine public use with fair compensation, preventing arbitrary redistribution.

    Key Governance Implications for Voters

    In capitalist systems, power is dispersed through markets and private decisions rather than concentrated in the state. This approach has historically correlated with rapid economic growth, technological advancement, and rising living standards (as observed in nations with stronger market institutions). However, it also produces inequality based on differing talents, choices, and outcomes, along with business cycles. Governance debates often center on the appropriate balance between market freedom and targeted interventions for issues like monopolies, public goods, or safety nets.

    Voters should assess these tenets according to their views on individual responsibility versus collective security, the track record of market-driven prosperity versus government planning, and the importance of protecting personal economic freedoms. Accurate evaluation benefits from distinguishing theoretical ideals from real-world implementations, including mixed economies that incorporate capitalist elements with varying degrees of regulation and welfare provisions.

    Where have all the men gone.  The Department of Labor keeps track of workforce employment numbers and reports that in the last decades we have lost a third of the men 16 and older from the workforce – they no longer even look for jobs.  The reasons are many – mental disorders, substance abuse, obesity and chronic disease, low motivation, pharmaceutical injury, and general lethargy and demoralization.  Much of it recently due to men with “soft-discipline college degrees who have no marketable skills despite being six figures in debt.”  Many live at home with parents or in dingy apartments collecting whatever government checks are available.  And then there’s “toxic femininity” which makes working and hiring men a problem in today’s litigious work environment.  (more here)

    The Democrats no longer hide that they are the party of socialism and intend to complete America’s recent lurch toward a Marxist state.  Their success in getting socialist cum communist candidates elected to local offices has put a strong wind to the backs of the radical Left which now dominates the Democrats’ narrative.  With their vast but lightly read national constituency willing to “give socialism a chance”, the moderates have no choice but to get on the same page if they want to get re-elected.

    Who are the real American Nazis?  We now have Democrat Maureen Galindo in Texas running for a congressional seat while telling voters that Jews should be put into concentration camps of converted ICE detention centers which should also be “castration processing centers” claiming most Jews are pedophiles.  Most Democrats have no idea what constitutes a Nazi, a name they attach to every Trump supporting Republican.  When you do an inventory of party policies, every Democrat policy seeks to convert America into a big government dominated land of high taxes, draconian laws and regulations, and limited freedoms.  Obversely Republicans seek to lower taxes, reduce regulations, and shrink government – in short, promote policies that do anything but promote the kind authoritarian state that has always been the objective of Democrats.
