  • Beyond 1984, right here in River City?

    George Rebane Yesterday’s 11am PST nationwide FEMA radio alert made many people of all political persuasions sit up and take notice.  It appears that the federal hardwired capability to control content on all broadcast media is now in place, is operational, and (here’s the interesting part) ready to be exercised with non-emergency content. Infowars.com reports…

  • A Reader’s Complaint Answered

    George Rebane Mr Ben Emery is a regular RR reader who vigorously defends his Left/liberal ideology in these pages.  He recently issued a complaint about the content, viewpoint, and perhaps the form of this weblog.  His general lament is that RR’s scope of topics is too narrow and doesn’t cover the substance of the ideas…

  • The Liberal Mind – How much socialist, before being a ‘Socialist’?

    George Rebane In debates on governance and other issues between what we today call the Right and the Left, we observe an interesting use of semantic camouflage that has been in practice for at least a century in the American public square.  The Right and its various political candidates proudly proclaim their socio-political ideologies under…

  • Local Government—An Oxymoron?!

    [This article on Agenda 21, emphasizing its history in the US, was sent to me by Judi Caler, co-founder of Reclaiming our American Rights (ROAR!).  It was also published in the Nov 2011 edition of the CABPRO News.  gjr] Judi Caler Several months ago, a young Executive Director of a community nonprofit volunteered to help…

  • When the Music Stopped…

    [I received the follwing in an email from an old friend and fellow artillery officer with whom I served in Germany many years ago.  gjr] (For those who  are unaware: At all military base theaters, the National Anthem is played  before the movie begins.) This is written from  a Chaplain in Iraq: I recently attended …

  • Greece in freefall

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 Novemeber 2011.] Greece is the latest socialist country to illustrate the results of not living within its means.  There is a long line of other European countries right behind Greece, ready to follow it off the cliff.  And then there are…

  • Greece and the 100% haircut (updated 5oct2011)

    George Rebane We hear that Greece’s financial situation is so dicey that they now have to pay over 270% yearly interest on their bonds.  The ten-year US Treasury today closed at 4.88% per annum.  Everyone who reads RR knows that Greece is teetering on the edge of default and pulling out of the eurozone.  Being…

  • Ruminations – 1nov2011 (updated)

    George Rebane California’s carbon calamity is cranking up to full speed, destroying jobs and driving companies to other lands and states.  CARB is now the loose cannon in the state’s economy, putting into full force the dictates of AB32 (q.v.).  Even the unions are screaming about job losses and arguing that California’s carbon tax n’…
