  • Western academe’s sunset years

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 July 2020.] The current insanity sweeping the western world that started with the George Floyd killing is now way past that outrage and moved on to much bigger objectives.  The event served as a trigger to launch the ready and…

  • Cultural cohesion, it’s a’comin’

    George Rebane The country is well along its increasingly insane path to the long sought and much promised fundamental transformation.  As our recent commentaries and many excellent reader contributions in the related comment streams attest, the well-funded madness is growing by the day.  The latest expansions involve initiatives to completely erase and remake America’s history,…

  • Letters from the Revolution – 27jun20 (updated)

    ‘Can the country confront its current problems with its traditional can-do spirit?  We have barely four months to figure out how.’  A.H.A. George Rebane ‘America Doesn’t Need a New Revolution’, so argues Ayaan Hirsi Ali, research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution (married to Niall Ferguson, internationally prominent socio-political historian not to be confused with…

  • Reflections on Racism – no time to decide (updated)

    George Rebane A barren desert is now the middle ground separating Americans from their woke and fundamentally transformed brethren. Racism has been an enduring theme on RR for years – e.g. back in 2010, through the years, and a more recent commentary in 2019.  With readers we have dissected it 20 ways from Sunday.  Even…

  • Springtime for our Great Divide

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 June 2020.] Where were you and what did you do in the spring of 2020?  The world has changed much during the last three months.  When we look back, we will remember this spring as the historical milestone when Americans…

  • Hurricane George Floyd

    “In October 1913, the Bolsheviks were a small radical Russian faction. No reasonable person would have predicted that within a mere four years they would take over the country.” Y.N. Harari, Sapiens (2014). George Rebane The on-camera, tragic and unjustified killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman has unleashed a social storm across America…

  • Antifa Rising (updated 9jun20)

    George Rebane Motivated by the ongoing George Floyd protests cum riots, I renewed my interest in finding out more about Antifa – is it an organization or merely a movement of loosely coupled cells operating all over the country?  The discussions in our comment streams seem to divide along ideological lines – those leaning right…

  • Liberty’s Twilight – 13may20

    George Rebane Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in her Louisville, KY home when the police erroneously broke through her front door in the middle of the night seeking a narcotics suspect who was already in police custody.  Not knowing the invaders during the break-in, Ms Taylor’s boyfriend sought to defend themselves by shooting one…

  • Local liberals lambast loosening lockdowns (updated)

    George Rebane As we and others across the country have pointed out, phasing out the C19 lockdowns has become the latest political chasm in the Great Divide.  You know that our country is now fundamentally transformed when it can no longer come together for a unified response to a national emergency.  It’s not a reach…

  • A Nation Risk Averse – Scared, Cowering, and Compliant

    George Rebane In the middle of the 20th century we lived in a world filled with ‘unconquered’ infectious diseases that were both life threatening and life limiting.  Everything from measles to polio lurked in places unknown.  And, of course, we had the rates of mortality and morbidity to show for it.  Nevertheless, life went on…
