  • India Cracks COVID Code (updated 30jan21)

    George Rebane For many weeks now we’ve been hearing a lot about the astounding C19 stats coming out of India.  Their rate of confirmed C19 cases is shown in the figure below as compiled by Johns Hopkins University.  And how have they achieved such astounding results? The answer lies in the country’s taking a radically…

  • Our mega-fraudulent Covid response

    George Rebane It was well back in the last year during the heights of our Covid panics that it occurred to me to examine more closely the cited death tolls from the pandemic.  The CDC was beginning to prevaricate on some stats that didn’t fly in tight formation with John Hopkins, which had assigned itself…

  • Liberal Logic on Parade

    My hatred of Bolshevism and Bolsheviks is not founded on their silly system of economics, or their absurd doctrine of an impossible equality.  It arises from the bloody and devastating terrorism which they practice in every land into which they have broken, and by which alone their criminal regime can be maintained.  Winston Churchill George…

  • Scattershots – 23jan21 (updated 27jan21)

    When intellectuals and journalists of the left use the word “democracy,” they typically are not referring to elections and decision-making by popularly elected officials. For the left, “democracy” is another word for progressive policy aims, especially the widening of special political rights and welfare-state provisions to new constituencies. By that definition any Republican president is carrying out…

  • Unclear on Partisan Politics

    George Rebane The above cartoon by our tried and true progressive cartoonist Bob Crabb was filched from the pages of The Union’s 16jan21 edition.  It provides an opportune lesson that illustrates our polarization and the sorry condition of jurisdictions that practice monopoly politics.  (I do like the Burma-Shave signs.) Collectivists like Bob sincerely want to…

  • Dark Days Diary – 13jan21 (updated 15jan21)

    George Rebane ‘America was born of dissent. It shall perish when dissent is forbidden.’  I used this anonymous aphorism as a tagline for a recent post, and upon reflection, it rings more true with each passing day.  Today loud voices are heard mostly from the Left, but also some from the Right, exhorting us to…

  • Control of Corporatist Oligopolies

    “America was born of dissent. It shall perish when dissent is forbidden.”  Anon. George Rebane Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, … arguably reside somewhere between monopoly and oligopoly in the capitalist spectrum.  It is very hard for a corporation that controls a dominating segment of a major market to become such a beast in a truly…

  • From my perch on 6 January 2021

    George Rebane A socialist imposes unequal opportunity, promises equal outcomes, and delivers uniform misery.  A capitalist imposes equal opportunity, enables individual initiative, and delivers unequal outcomes that provide the best possible prosperity to all. Today President Trump’s talk sunk the walk of the thousands of conservative DC protesters.  This dreadful character defect of his has…

  • An Appeal to Restore Election Integrity (updated 16jan21)

    George Rebane [This was to be the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary censored on 6 January 2021.] [Update.  I was informed this afternoon that my “commentary got cut tonight by station management.”  Management is now “establishing criteria for commentaries”, and there were elements in my piece with which the station took issue.  I…

  • Evidence – Why not look at the evidence? (updated 7jan21)

    George Rebane Why not indeed?  The existential evidence abounds of election fraud and irregularities having happened.  It exists just for the looking in forms of witnessed and sworn affidavits of polling place and vote counting wrongdoings; witnessed and video records of after-hours arrivals of thousands of unmailed ballots in unmarked vehicles; mass arrivals of ballots…
