  • Federal Overreach at Local Level Grows Unabated

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 October 2013 with an addended video Sheriff Mack made specifically for his upcoming 18oct13 talk in Grass Valley.] It turns out there is a considerable benefit to having a government shutdown every now and then, for it exposes the belly…

  • National Park Service – American Brown Shirts (updated 10oct13)

    George Rebane It will be harder than ever for our progressive neighbors to deny that platoons of federal agency workers are just a phone call away from reverting to local units of government goons.  Recall that these people are in jobs of last resort, they would not be hired by anyone in the private sector. …

    George Rebane Dr Tyler Cowen is professor of monetary theory, financial economics, and welfare economics at George Mason University and Mercatus Center .  He joins a growing list of academics and authors (cf Charles Murray’s Coming Apart) who have now concluded that systemic unemployment and permanent class divisions all will become entrenched features of our…

  • National Ignorance – Proof of Concept Working (updated 6oct13)

    George Rebane The Grand Experiment of America is nothing less than to test the historical question – Can man govern himself?  Our Founders repeatedly asked that question of themselves as they labored to give the new nation the appropriate tools of governance so as to stack the deck in favor of a ‘Yes!’ answer.  Jefferson’s…
