  • Agenda21 in Prop31’s clothing (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was aired on 31 August 2012.] Last Tuesday August 28th the Nevada County Board of Supervisors took up Propositions 30 and 31 that we will vote on in November.  The best I could make out at that well attended meeting was that Supervisor…

  • Why it’s so damn hard to be a Democrat (updated 30aug12)

    George Rebane I have long maintained that I don’t understand why self-proclaimed ‘patriot’ Democrats are doing everything possible to torpedo this fair land, and make it into a shadow of a failed socialist state, or worse.  I’ll start with the worse. Radical Islamists are already entrenched in the US among the non-radicalized silent majority of…

  • Europe’s Financial Dominoes

    George Rebane Here’s a succinct picture of Europe’s immediate financial concerns.  Does anyone see any stability in any of it?  (Here’s a little tutorial on how to read and reason with influence factors diagrams.)

  • Obama’s Address of National Issues (updated 31aug12)

    “Y’all can’t get the water to clear up, until you get the turd out of the creek.”  East Tennessee wisdom. George Rebane A leading local leftie commented again at length on ‘Behold a Pale Horse …’.  There he lamented that viewing and discussing the films I reported on will keep people from hearing those few…

  • Another California Brainfart

    George Rebane “The sages of Sacramento have done such a splendid job of not adequately funding California’s public pensions that now they want to do the same for non-government workers. Their latest brainstorm is to establish state-administered retirement plans for workers in the private economy.  This is not a joke. … .” as reported in…

  • Ruminations – 21aug12

    Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. – John Adams George Rebane So where’s all the wildlife? asks a visitor to a local pond and hiking trail here in Nevada County.  Our cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb drew this little funny filched…

  • Singularity Signposts – More Rapid Systemic Unemployment

    George Rebane Regular readers have known for some years what portents the American factory and warehouse worker has in store for his future employment prospects.  I initially calculated that the number of un/deremployed would be about 40 million by 2020.  It has been clear for some time now that this estimate is too low.  I…

  • Spreading the Non-existent Wealth

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR radio commentary broadcast on 17 August 2012.] The Obama administration is notorious for its initiatives – legal and extra-legal – to enlarge and lock in a dependent constituency that will reliably deliver it votes during elections.  The latest vote buying initiatives involve expansion of major…

  • Ruminations – 14aug12 (updated)

    George Rebane The National Weather Service is buying tens of thousands of rounds of jacketed hollow point 40 caliber bullets as reported by infowars.com.  It is the latest government department to start packing heat, and joins a disconcerting number of other government units (e.g. Dept of Education) that have no obvious use for deadly force…

  • National Issues – connecting the factors that affect us (Addended)

    George Rebane When thinking about the upcoming election in the context of national issues and all that is going on which affects America, things get complicated pretty quickly.  An established tool for representing, sorting out, and communicating such factors and their interaction is called the Influence Factors Diagram (IFD).  An IFD is usually involved in…
