  • War on Terror in Perpetuum, Amen (updated 12aug13)

    George Rebane Right after 9/11 when we declared war on something mislabeled terrorism, I pondered about that new war and how it would be fought, and more importantly how could/would it be won.  Being of the analytical bent, I came up with an effective metric and communicated it to the editors of the Wall Street…

  • Clearing our forests of unwanted biomass

    George Rebane This has been a longstanding problem as we wait for the next big wildfire.  The econuts have done everything possible to delay and derail solutions.  Now they have another one in their sights – micro refineries for biomass conversion. This new technology allows the set up of numbers of temporary refining facilities in…

  • Ruminations – 2aug13

    George Rebane The surface calm during our cool summer is beguiling and more than misleading.  Over the years RR readers have had an early heads up on a number of national and international issues affecting us that are now coming home to roost, and several of them are already here.  All of them were pooh-poohed…

  • Atheists need chaplains too (updated 28jul13)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 July 2013.] New levels of social justice are being sought in our military.  The very same people who militate for separating church and state in all corners of public life are now demanding to have their fair share of padres in…

  • Transnationalists will simply SWAT us

    George Rebane Former Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) was recently interviewed about a significant piece on ‘American sovereignty and its enemies’ he co-authored in a recent issue of Foreign Affairs.  In there he details the thrust and progress that US transnationalists (nee globalists) have made in bringing the America we know and love to its knees…

  • Ruminations – 19jul13 (updated++)

    George Rebane A fundamental tenet on RR has been that as government grows in size and scope, it also grows in becoming intrinsically evil through the conduct of its mega-monied politicians and recourse proof bureaucrats.  Here are some current observations that bolster that argument. Charities have become fiefs of big government.  How?  First, they take…

  • Ruminations – 9jul13 (updated 11jul13)

    George Rebane The new sport in Washington played by Congress, unions, and big corporations is chipping away at Obamacare – causing chaos in the small business sector.  Everyone wants to hide from the crap coming off the fan, and leave the other guy fully exposed.  Already eight components of it have been delayed or canceled.…

  • Thoughts on the Fourth

    George Rebane On this hot muggy 4th of July my thoughts turn to the road this country has traveled since the turn of the last century.  I have joined that trek for the last sixty-four years, have partaken in its happy ascent, enjoyed its lofty summit, and now protest the precipitous descent.  Nevertheless, no matter…

  • A Cultural Experience Countered

    George Rebane Last weekend Jo Ann and I attended an international gathering in San Francisco that celebrated the historical role of a culture over the last two centuries.  This event is held every five years in a different part of the world, and its nearby venue this year made attendance convenient for us.  People from…

  • Rationale for Elephant Rides at a Fair??!! (updated 24jun13)

    George Rebane The 22jun13 Union joined the animal rights activists’ kerfuffle in their attempt to stop elephant rides being offered at this year’s Nevada County Fair, the theme of which is ‘Under the Big Top’.  I about fell off my chair when I saw the paper’s editorial position getting exercised about the Fair Board’s politely…
