  • Scattershots – 22jul20

    George Rebane Our indigenous North American natives (aka Indians) may not have politically clean hands after all.  Now that it’s OK to go back in history to any desired time in order to dredge up the iniquities of our forefathers (and mothers), we have discovered that the most recent arrivals before the white man probably…

  • This Young Collectivist’s Column is NOT a Caricature

    George Rebane Recent NUHS graduate Michael Sekerak is working hard to reshape our society and community.  He wrote the cri de Coeur ‘Time to elevate those marginalized in our community’ which The Union published in its 8jul20 edition.  What is remarkable about Mr Sekerak’s column is that it so exemplifies the education, indoctrination, and mentality…

  • Cultural cohesion, it’s a’comin’

    George Rebane The country is well along its increasingly insane path to the long sought and much promised fundamental transformation.  As our recent commentaries and many excellent reader contributions in the related comment streams attest, the well-funded madness is growing by the day.  The latest expansions involve initiatives to completely erase and remake America’s history,…

  • Letters from the Revolution – 23jun20

    George Rebane It is only the reality of force that makes peaceful diplomacy possible. As our buildings burn, more black lives end that don’t make no nevermind, as China continues to build its muscle to rule its ‘near abroad’, Germany bitches about America not doing more to defend its carefully cloistered butt, and Democrats are…

  • Scattershots – 10jun20 (updated 13jun20)

    George Rebane Beware of people who need outliers to make their point, and then use these to cloud the big picture. Food prices are soaring even though plants are coming back on line and distribution problems have been solved.  The producers’ argument is that worker safety requires reconfiguration of work spaces and the introduction of…

  • Hurricane George Floyd

    “In October 1913, the Bolsheviks were a small radical Russian faction. No reasonable person would have predicted that within a mere four years they would take over the country.” Y.N. Harari, Sapiens (2014). George Rebane The on-camera, tragic and unjustified killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman has unleashed a social storm across America…

  • Riot Reflections – 1jun20 (updated)

    ‪"Black votes matter to many politicians — more so than black lives. That is why such politicians must try to keep black voters fearful, angry and resentful. Racial harmony would be a political disaster for such politicians."‬ Thomas Sowell (and an oft-cited tenet of Rebane Doctrine) George Rebane Well, given what we see in the…

  • Riot Reflections – 30may20 (updated)

    George Rebane The videod murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police gave rise to justified public protests that quickly turned into destructive and violent riots which have little to do with the death of Mr Floyd, and instead have again revealed that we Americans are no longer ‘one people’ who can…

  • ‘Seize the Moment’

    George Rebane So exhorts The Economist (here), Britain’s famous weekly ‘newspaper’ since 1843 that has metamorphosed over the years into a leftwing trumpet with an international audience.  The lead editorial in its 23may20 issue counsels countries, especially the US, to use the coronavirus pandemic to include in their government aid machinations additional laws, regulations, codes,…

  • Memorial Day – 25 May 2020

    George Rebane On this Memorial Day we reflect on the words of General Jack Keane (Ret) about those who risked all – “None of them wanted to die, certainly. What’s different about them is that they were willing to and they were willing to put at risk everything that they care about, you know, having…
