  • ‘Greece Passes Key Debt Test’, NOT!

    George Rebane The world’s newspapers are heralding the massive haircut taken by Greek sovereign debt holders as some kind of triumphal finesse in international finance.  Specifically – Just over 80% of Greece’s private-sector creditors had agreed by a Thursday evening deadline to turn in their bonds for new ones with less than half the face…

  • The Great Divide – 29feb12 update on work in process (updated 4mar12)

    George Rebane This is a weblog entry to update our ‘progress’ toward a fundamental transformation of America.  As has been discussed, we are past the tipping point with two alternative destinations that will redefine the social, economic, and political landscape of the North American landmass.  The first is the United Socialist States of America (USSA)…

  • ‘Rural Myths’ – don’t worry, be happy (updated 2mar12)

    George Rebane There is no question that governments at all levels have become less efficient from the taxpayers’ viewpoint.  This inefficiency is felt from many quarters and with respect to applied metrics, ranging from ‘bang per buck’, through layers of onerous regulations and mandates, to the ongoing removal of freedoms often through gratuitous criminalizations. We…

  • We the Sheeple – The cancer of CARB

    George Rebane Only its numbers make a social issue important.  Not understanding its numbers is to not understand the social issue. [RR is opening a new category of topics – ‘We the Sheeple’ – in which posts that report on how quietly and without a murmur we accept the governments’ relentless ravages on our freedoms…

  • Ruminations – 28jan2012

    George Rebane Woke up a couple of days ago to a National Propaganda Radio segment on business; those guys sure know how to report them.  Big ballyhoo on Obama’s visit to Intel’s new, highly roboticized chip manufacturing plant, slated to be the largest in the world when it kicks into gear.  The CCO sang loud…

  • A TPP Evening with Mark Meckler

    George Rebane A vision cannot be imposed on a people, it can only be inspired. After a good dinner at the GV Cirino’s, the Steeles and Rebanes hightailed it to the fairgrounds for the monthly evening gathering of the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots.  Our featured speaker was Mark Meckler, national co-counder of the TPP. …

  • 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…

  • Our Mobile Politicians

    George Rebane Our California Assemblyman Dan Logue just announced that he “changed his mind” and will no longer represent us.  He is moving out of our community – into which he moved just last year – to another city in another assembly district.  This makes sense for him when he considers his longer term prospects…

  • 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…
