  • The Porous Borders and Amnesty Act

    George Rebane “Immigration Reform” is another in the legion of lies from Washington these days.  The first order of business – bamboozling the words – has already been embedded in our brainbones, thereby making it hard to have a reasoned discussion about the subject.  What subject?  Illegal aliens, or more specifically Illegal Entrants. We have…

  • Whitecaps in Our Teapot (updated 25may2010)

    George Rebane As election day June 8th approaches in Nevada County, all campaigns are heating up going into the home stretch.  In the attempt to cast prudent votes that reflect our values and hopes for the county, we now begin to really digest the voter information that has been blanketing us for the last several…

  • My Meg Whitman Interview

    Robert Patton [Robert Patton is a large-scale data systems developer and program manager living in southern California.  Robert is also a long time friend, colleague, and entrepreneur.  His email earlier today mentioned a serendipitous and interesting conversation he had with Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for governor and former CEO of eBay.  Whitman was doing random…

  • Ruminations – 21may2010 (updated)

    George Rebane – Resource utilization and environmental husbandry solutions– Reconquista is alive and well– Public service unions (I am not alone!)– NC ARRA update Almost all the silly ideas and laws we have to better use our resources and ‘save’ the environment are based on an unrealistic and ignorant view of the future.  Reading the history of predictions about…

  • Other Than Mexican

    George Rebane OTM, that is the classification given to the hundreds (thousands?) of illegal aliens coming across our southern border who originate from countries beyond Mexico.  The biggest threat to us is the number of Muslims that make up the OTM classification.  Most of them come to and through Mexico by a very circuitous route…

  • Taking Stock – 17 May 2010

    George Rebane In spite of what may happen this November, 2010 promises to be as devastating to the fortunes of our country as was 2009.  Since returning from our recent travels, I’ve been trying to reframe the major themes now reshaping our future.  These are some thoughts. The American spirit to remain the order-giving hegemon…

  • Culture Counts

    George Rebane  [The following piece was submitted as my monthly column in The Union.  It appears today 15 May 2010 in the newspaper's print and online editions (here).  I also do a bi-weekly radio commentary on KVMR FM 89.5.] We just returned from a trip to the eastern Mediterranean during which we had a chance to see…

  • KVMR commentary – Pabulum, Placebo, or …?

    George Rebane [This is my bi-weekly commentary on KVMR FM 85.9 which aired today 14 May 2010.  I also write a column for The Union.] The country’s tailspin is no longer a secret to at least half the voters.  Many of those people also listen to and watch the Limbaughs, Becks, O’Rileys, and Hannitys of…

  • Independents – careful how you register

    George Rebane I just got this in an email from our local Tea Party Patriots.  In it was a notice submitted by a TPP member to alert people who may do an unintended thing when they register to vote and/or change their party affiliation. "I just started to work for the elections division at the county.…

  • The Efficiencies of Socialism

    George Rebane   Socialism is not an all or nothing form of governance, the disease is usually progressive.  Comfortable at first and then quietly segueing into deadly.  One of its symptoms is its inability to distribute resources in a correct, efficient, and timely manner.  Management of ARRA funding is just one current piece of evidence of this truth. …
