  • EMP is a civilization killer

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 Auguest 2014.] Imagine the next time the lights go out and your house settles into that unnatural but familiar silence when there is a power outage.  You know what to do.  If you have a landline phone in your house,…

  • To sabrage or not to sabrage

    Do not exhibit your sore finger for all to strike upon, and do not complain of it, for malice always pounds where it hurts most. …  Gracian #145 George Rebane Due to a little medical emergency last night, my output requiring typing may be bit sparse for the next few days.  With apologies to Father…

  • Thoughts on Evil

    George Rebane It is clear to many, perhaps most, that evil abounds in the world today.  Yet the concepts of evil are varied to the point that among their extremes there may be no agreement at all on what constitutes evil.  I admit to being on or near a semantic extreme myself.  In any case,…

  • Sandbox – 13aug14

    [Refreshed by popular demand and the insipient stall speed of the last sandbox.  Everybody in!]

  • The Foreign Policy of a Community Organizer (updated 13aug14)

    George Rebane It is hard to believe that someone can be elected to the highest office in the world, spend six years in the most expensive learn-while-you-earn educational program, and come out a reprobate dunce.  The man has the consistent counsel of countless advisers ranging from lackeys to bureau heads, department secretaries, and the Pentagon’s…

  • Ruminations – 9aug14 (updated)

    George Rebane IBM’s new NeuroSynaptic chip was recently announced and is making a big PR splash in the print and online media (more here and here).  The chip’s processing power is based on the parallel implementation of essentially identical ‘neuronal’ structures that mimic major sections of the brain’s neocortex.  We reported on one such promising…

  • We can’t think about Common Core, or anything else …

    George Rebane When seeking solutions to society's problems, always hold government guilty until proven innocent. Modern progressivism is the most cynically named socio-political ideology since the world of Orwell’s 1984.  Evidence abounds that there is literally nothing progressive for organizing human society in the (niggardly revealed) tenets and expanding practice of progressivism – it gives…

  • Rumblings of the Great Divide

    George Rebane A main theme and designated category of posts in these pages is the idea of the Great Divide.  The idea has been growing for some years now as the country polarizes, taking opposite sides of achieving objectives for the future organization of society best summarized under Agenda 21 (q.v.).  While not embraced solely…

  • STEM is not powered by STEAM

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 1 August 2014.] Listeners to these commentaries are aware of how important America’s STEM workforce will be to the future of our country and our quality of life.  Recall that STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math.  Preparing for a…

  • Sandbox – 1aug14

    [My apologies for letting the 24jul14 sandbox overfill.  Out of desperation, I suppose, people were beginning to discuss local drone flights under the SoJ post, and other transgressions ;-)  Here's a fresh one.]
