Month: August 2011

  • Decline and Fall of Europe and the West

    George Rebane Progressive organs around the world are starting to hyper-palpitate about the EU economy, sovereign debts, and unexpected violence in the streets.  The Economist and Time are in general agreement that Europe is “about to blow”.  And it’s all due to the planned and announced budget cuts because their governments are rapidly running out…

  • Our Painfully Uninformed Young People (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the corrected form of my Union column for August.  In the submitted form I mistakenly assigned PM Cameron to the Labor Party.  However, due to a glitch, it did not appear today but will instead publish next Saturday 20aug11 here, hopefully in the corrected version as below.  Thanks again to readers for pointing out…

  • Ruminations – 11aug2011

    George Rebane - The Left’s American Dream movement- UK riots have an unmentionable cause- California’s popular vote law Led by Van Jones, our favorite self-declared communist and former Obama staffer, the American Dream Movement “announced the Contract for the American Dream, a new agenda for economic recovery supported by a grassroots movement that progressive leaders say will rival…

  • Bernanke’s ‘non-Keynesian’ QE3 (updated)

    George Rebane This is just a little stake in the ground so I can keep the audacious prognostication momentum going on RR (and put myself at your mercy if I’m wrong).  The Fed under The Bernank has put out the message that there will be no QE3 as the previous two quantitative easings (aka printing…

  • Time at the Tea Party (updated 8aug2011)

    When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the…

  • The Christmas Yet to Come

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular bi-weekly KVMR-FM 89.5 commentary aired on 5 August 2011.  It was recorded on the morning of 4 August 2011 before the markets took their 6% historic swoon.  As has been reported for some considerable time on RR, this market reaction is expected and reflects how the…

  • California Now Federalized (updated)

    George Rebane For the last years I have been telling RR readers that California was heading toward becoming a ward of the federal government – in short, federalized (e.g. here).  As with many major and momentous changes, I believe this was apparent to anyone who had a facility with arithmetic, and understood the basics of…

  • We Are the Real Terrorists

    George Rebane Truthout.org has published a major article ‘Breivik's Fundamentalist War on Politics, and Ours’ which is a progressive manifesto, and itself a declaration of war on conservatives and their politics.  Author Henry Giroux (one of truthout’s “news analysts”) forges every connection imaginable between Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, and anybody to the right of…

  • The Debt Deal – Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (updated 2aug2011)

    George Rebane Now you’re free to believe that last night’s debt limit deal between the Repubs, Dems, and President is a solution to any of the ills our country faces.  But you would be wrong, because nothing has changed except another little shot of morphine to ease our cancer’s pain. The deal, which may not…

  • Perhaps Muslim-Themed Ethics Training Next (Updated)

    George Rebane This from truthout.com, my favorite website for socialist cum communist news and commentary. Air Force Pulls Christian-Themed Ethics Training for Nuclear Missile Officers After Publication of Truthout ReportJason Leopold, Truthout: "The Air Force, in response to a report published by Truthout earlier this week, has pulled a Christian-themed training session that used a…
