  • 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…

  • Dark Days Diary – 9jan21 (updated 12jan21)

    No days unalert; … alertness when most necessary, is always missing, and not to give the matter a thought is to be slated for destruction.  Gracian #264 George Rebane Over the years to this day we have seen that our leftwing neighbors don’t have much truck with concepts like nuance or shades of gray.  Their…

  • 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…

  • Scattershots – 27dec20 (updated 30dec20)

    Suspension of judgment is always the part of wisdom in a listener, and the remission of faith to authority the part of wisdom in a speaker.  Gracian #154 George Rebane Identity politics is a totalitarian enterprise, as called out by Paul Gigot, op-ed editor-in-chief of the WSJ.  About Gigot's defense of Joseph Epstein’s commentary on…

  • Scattershots – 18dec20 (updated 22dec20)

    George Rebane The recall of Gov Gavin Newsom is making good progress, and petition signatures may be collected until 10 March 2021.  Here is the link to get your signature on a petition to recall this hubristic progressive idiot before he does more damage to our state. Cato’s annual Human Freedom Index just published; it…

  • The fat lady has sung, off key (Addended and updated)

    George Rebane [This is the addended, edited, and updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 December 2020.] Last Monday the Electoral College elected Joe Biden to be the 46th president of the United States.  The election was heavily contested for two distinct reasons, but to no avail.  Let me be clear from…

  • Covid Related – 11dec20

    George Rebane With major ongoing national issues, I’m starting what would appear to be bespoke issue-dedicated sandboxes.  Let’s see how well/long this works out. A reader sent me a link that supports arguments I and others here have made as to why the US has its reported Covid case and mortality numbers.  The Left has…

  • Voter Fraud 6.0 … until the fat lady sings (updated)

    George Rebane I asked this question of BarryP – "BarryP 549pm – don't the states have an argument for being aggrieved by the federally unconstitutional and/or purposive violation of state election laws that may/will foster an outcome of that state's election which on the federal level then illegally weighs against the legitimate voters of the…

  • Signs of Our Time – 9dec20 (updated 10dec20)

    George Rebane This will be a category of highly opinionated observations from an octogenarian who has been privileged to witness (often unwillingly) more of the human travail than that to which most have been subjected. Innovator extraordinaire Elon Musk is moving his Tesla et al out of Silicon Valley and California to (wait for it)…
