Month: June 2011

  • Tea Party Patriots welcomed Dr Anna Haynes

    George Rebane This evening Jo Ann and I, along with a neighbor, attended the monthly Nevada County Tea Party Patriots meeting that filled the Easterly Hall of the Nevada County Realtors Association.  We were happy to see Dr Anna Haynes sitting in the throng, listening with great interest to the speakers, and taking notes.  Dr…

  • Ruminations – 29jun2011

    George Rebane MediaMatters.org has declared “war” on Fox News.  This far left organization, one of many such enterprises receiving funds from George Soros, is seeking to squelch speech with which it disagrees.  This type of political action is a common distinguishing feature of progressive tactics drawn from the Saul Alinsky play book Rules for Radicals (1971).  Can you imagine…

  • The AtPac Suit – More fumes ascending (updated 16jul2011)

    George Rebane Nevada County issued a professional services contract to SC Consulting in Pollock Pines contemplating work that started on 10 June 2011 and was completed on 24 June 2011.  The presumed purpose of the contract was for the consultant, Steven Steinbrecher, to conduct an investigation, comprised of a series of interviews with county management…

  • Democracy Bound on the Ship of Fools (updated 28jun2011)

    George Rebane Lately our American ship of state has taken an historical pummeling, and the beating literally goes on as you read this.  The remarkable part is that our country was designed and built so well that it can take a decade (generation?) or two of utter mismanagement, and still provide a world class home…

  • Yes, Liberal Nostalgia

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my bi-weekly KVMR commentary that aired on 24 June 2011.] Many of us small time political philosophers have long maintained that progressives are really not all that progressive.  That most of their ideas are pretty moss-backed, have been around for more than a few centuries, and have been…

  • Unified Field Bank – like a bad penny

    George Rebane … it just keeps coming back to Nevada City.  Last March I did a KVMR commentary on what obviously looks at best like the blind leading the blind, and at worst like a scam.  (‘Community Partnership Banking – Worm Farm 2?’)  Their nearby poster (click to enlarge) announces a “follow-up” to the “enthusiastic response” they…

  • Employment and Income Inequality

    George Rebane [This piece is the last of a four part series on taxes, jobs, and income that includes, in order of posting, 'The Administration Discovers Shortage of Engineers', 'Higher Tax Rates = Lower Revenues',  'More Green Companies Heading for Greener Pastures', 'Employment and Income Inequality'.  It was motivated by two articles, one that appeared in the…

  • ‘Estonia, the little country that could’

    George Rebane A friend and RR reader emailed me the link to a Washington Times article by Richard Rahn that summarizes the economic history of Estonia.  Readers may recall my posts from our 15-29jun08 visit back to the old sod (see posts under ‘My Story’, right column).  Misplaced modesty prohibits my adding anything to the Rahn…

  • Keachie Again Misreads Rebane

    George Rebane Mr Douglas Keachie is a loud voice in the community and on local blogs.  A man of progressive persuasion, he is also a sometime commenter on these pages.  In his latest effort he attempts to reveal “three fatal flaws” in my 11jun11 Union column ‘Entrepreneurship 2011’.  His revelation was published as an Other Voices submission…

  • More Green Companies Heading for Greener Pastures

    George Rebane [This piece is the third of a four part series on taxes, jobs, and income that includes, in order of posting, 'The Administration Discovers Shortage of Engineers', 'Higher Tax Rates = Lower Revenues',  'More Green Companies Heading for Greener Pastures', 'Employment and Income Inequality'.] The left controlled lamestream has long touted the spawn…
