Month: May 2011

  • May Day in LA

    George Rebane The 2011 May Day celebrations in Los Angeles were not covered as thoroughly by the lamestream as one might wish.  Our progressive cadres continue to lay a thick smokescreen on the notion that today’s labor movement, led by public service unions, have again picked up the theme of a new communist revolution.  Moreover,…

  • The Visegrad Group – as NATO disintegrates, Poland steps up

    George Rebane A little noticed rearrangement of Europe’s security apparatus will have a great impact on how ‘old Europe’ will finally react to its historical threats from the east (Russia) and south (Islam).  NATO had the con on defending Europe against international communism (USSR) during the Cold War.  With the collapse of the USSR and…

  • Ruminations – 19may2011

    George Rebane - Global warming solutions are no solutions- How Democrats plant to beat Repubs again in 2012- The American intifada The hilarity or tears, take your pick, on the entire issue of global warming just don’t stop.  Given that any of the AGW propaganda happens to be true, the cost effectiveness of attempting to stop it with…

  • Sharia Creep – while we’re not paying attention (updated 18may2011)

    George Rebane One way to deconstruct a nation-state is to have its citizens divided into cohorts each answerable to a different set of laws.  The Islamic settlements in Europe are on their way to such a legal construct.  Great Britain already has a Sharia dual in its legal system to which Muslims are bound and…

    George Rebane - It’s not your father’s inflation- Obama’s birth is too hot to handle (updated)- Global warming disguised as a mid-May snowfall We know that part of the government’s tactic to keep us in the dark on the true fiscal and economic parameters of the country is not limited to the daily lies that we’ll default on…

  • Morganza Spillway Decision (updated 16may2011)

    George Rebane This afternoon the Army Corps of Engineers opened a spillway in a massive containment levee (dam) to flood the few in order to save the many (see nearby AP photo).  From wsj.com – A steel, 10-ton floodgate was slowly raised Saturday for the first time in nearly four decades, unleashing a torrent of water from…

  • Our Students Need You

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my May column in the 14may11 Union (here).] The classroom format of teaching requires that students are in a more or less tight group as far as progress and learning ability are concerned.  The larger the class, the less chance the teacher has to bring along the…

  • An Eerie Feeling re the Great Divide

    George Rebane Is the Great Divide already under way?  RR readers are familiar with the Great Divide discussion in these pages (RR search ‘great divide’).  The basis for the idea of a structural change in these United States is an old one, one that is provided for by our Constitution, and one that was in…
