  • George Rebane So contrary to the progressives’ push for a global leviathan are the yearnings of uncounted peoples each of whom share a common language, faith, heritage, traditions, and history.  The collectivist mind does not understand that such people above all want self-determination and independence, and a corner of the world in which they can…

  • George Rebane Kudos to Mr Frank Pinney for placing a full page ‘Paid Advertisement’ essay on the PGW hoax in the 9nov15 Union.  He summarizes in one place extensive data and information (covered here and on other regional blogs over the years) into one piece that also has a distinctly local flavor to it.  Its appearance now is timely due to the…

  • George Rebane I sent the following letter to The Union after reading the latest ‘resistance is futile’ offering from a well-meaning neighbor in Auburn. *** Mr Gregg Littell’s thoughtful 7nov15 piece, ‘The idea of 'armed rebellion' in the U.S. is ludicrous’, disturbs on several counts.  First and foremost his arguments ignore historical and ongoing realities. …

  • George Rebane Has anyone noticed that reporting about the migrant onslaught has fallen silent on the key issue that initially gave it a moral and humanitarian dimension.  Europeans of all political stripe were willing to take in a controlled number of refugees fleeing from death and torture that they would most likely suffer were they…

  • George Rebane We have long pointed to the travesty of governance that has totally engulfed California over the past decades, and called out its failures which now have become a tidal wave of destruction.  The Left has identified this effort as the misbegotten complaints of an ignorant clutch living isolated from the glorious realities that…

  • George Rebane Hillary told the House Benghazi hearing that 1) Chris Stevens should have known better than to expect the security he requested, and also that being a diplomat was a dangerous profession; 2) she never saw the Stevens’ urgent security requests – “they didn’t rise to my level”; and 3) as SecState, if she…

  • George Rebane The more tightly ANY system is coupled, the more likely its performance is paced by its weakest and/or its most stupid members.  Mother Nature In the 10oct15 Union there is an opinion piece that perfectly, nay, iconically reveals the liberal mind.  ‘Let’s Have a Worthy Debate’ by local politician Heidi Hall and much…

  • George Rebane Liberty is not free, and efforts to make it appear so inevitably lead to tyranny. Mr Steven Frisch, who frequently shares his thoughts on these pages, has written an eloquent opinion piece in the 8oct15 Union in which he argues for compliant submission to California’s carbon cap and trade (C&T) program that became law…

  • George Rebane [Brian Hamilton, editor of The Union, emailed me that this piece was bit too long for their Other Voices columns, and invited me to shorten it.  I felt that a better alternative to abbreviation was to write them a letter-to-editor that cited Mr Paul Berger’s dismissal of my previous OV column, and which…
