  • Heartland’s Half-Vast Conspiracy (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 24 February 2012.  Addended to it are links to reports on the Heartland Institute’s current issue with Dr Peter Gleick.] I want to put the current Heartland Institute imbroglio into its proper and larger context – namely, the ongoing and intensifying efforts…

  • The Off and On of the Inevitable (Addended)

    George Rebane The Greeks are rioting in the streets again.  They don’t like the new tranche of austerity measures that their parliament was forced to levy on the country.  This was in response to the northern eurozone countries imposing more conditions before giving Greece its next bailout check of approximately $170B in March.  The north,…

  • A new barrier to growth

    [This is the submitted form of my regular Union column that was published in the newspaper’s 11feb12 print and online editions.] George Rebane “Engineers in the European Union are free to work anywhere in the 27 member states, but recognition of their professional qualifications is often a stumbling block.”  So starts ‘Passport to Engineering’ in…

  • From Lysenko Loonies to Climate Change Clowns

    George Rebane The 27jan12 WSJ publishes a major piece ‘No Need to Panic About Global Warming’ signed by sixteen science and technology heavyweights.  From my perspective as a systems scientist, I long ago joined the once lonely voices that pointed out that the climate change alarmists (especially of the anthropogenic global warming stripe) were intellectually…

  • Homeland Security’s fundamental transformation

    George Rebane As reported here, LA and other American cities are the new training ground for our military.  They’re not exactly saying who the enemy is, but you have to be pretty dense not to figure it out.  Prominent LA radio station KFI reports that these “closed to the public” exercises in the city “are…

  • Ruminations – 23jan2012

    George Rebane The Fresno Bee reports that its largest public service union SEIU will lead its 4,100+ county worker members out on strike today.  The walkout is scheduled to last three days and protest pay cuts that the union says were negotiated “unfairly”.  RR readers are familiar with the pernicious policies of public service unions…

  • Log entry on the road to ruin (aka fundamental transformation)

    George Rebane As usual I woke up to National Propaganda Radio and heard a mind-numbing hit piece on income inequality that for openers confused tax fraction, tax rate, paid taxes beyond any means of recovery.  But they did manage not to mangle the message that rich people should not make so much money, and most…

  • The Devil in Democracy

    George Rebane [This is the linked form of my regular Union column which is published in the newspaper’s 14jan12 edition.] When progressives start to talk about democracy again, it is time to get a real firm grip on your wallet and your liberties.  Democracy is now the watchword that echoes across the occupied streets, and…

  • The World’s Economic Freedom Stats for 2012 – America’s slide continues

    George Rebane On our way to a socialist state we are leaving stark signposts of economic decline.  Among the most important is our relative ratings and rankings over the years.  Such data explain away why jobs are leaving these shores, and why they will not come back. In the meanwhile, we are proud to announce…
