  • Ruminations – 28jan2012

    George Rebane Woke up a couple of days ago to a National Propaganda Radio segment on business; those guys sure know how to report them.  Big ballyhoo on Obama’s visit to Intel’s new, highly roboticized chip manufacturing plant, slated to be the largest in the world when it kicks into gear.  The CCO sang loud…

  • What’s a fair share in 2012?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 January 2012.  In it I gently introduce the beginnings of monetary utility and mention fair division algorithms about both of which I intend to expand in future posts.] In last Tuesday’s State of the Union speech President Obama made clear that…

  • SESF Launches TechForum

    George Rebane TechForum is a new program from the Sierra Economics and Science Foundation that will feature distinguished speakers and prominent industry professionals to talk about advances in technology that will impact Nevada County businesses, industry, governments, and education.  These quarterly presentations are designed around a congenial luncheon format that allows the participants to connect…

  • A TPP Evening with Mark Meckler

    George Rebane A vision cannot be imposed on a people, it can only be inspired. After a good dinner at the GV Cirino’s, the Steeles and Rebanes hightailed it to the fairgrounds for the monthly evening gathering of the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots.  Our featured speaker was Mark Meckler, national co-counder of the TPP. …

  • Homeland Security’s fundamental transformation

    George Rebane As reported here, LA and other American cities are the new training ground for our military.  They’re not exactly saying who the enemy is, but you have to be pretty dense not to figure it out.  Prominent LA radio station KFI reports that these “closed to the public” exercises in the city “are…

  • Responding to Mr Fred Perry (updated 24jan2012)

    George Rebane Too bad that The Union has erected a paywall around its online edition that also includes their op-ed pages.  Usually newspapers going to that source of revenue leave their op-ed pieces as free content so that it will attract more eyeballs, and in the process help sell 'premium content' that’s behind the paywall. …

  • Our Mobile Politicians

    George Rebane Our California Assemblyman Dan Logue just announced that he “changed his mind” and will no longer represent us.  He is moving out of our community – into which he moved just last year – to another city in another assembly district.  This makes sense for him when he considers his longer term prospects…

  • The World’s Economic Freedom Stats for 2012 – America’s slide continues

    George Rebane On our way to a socialist state we are leaving stark signposts of economic decline.  Among the most important is our relative ratings and rankings over the years.  Such data explain away why jobs are leaving these shores, and why they will not come back. In the meanwhile, we are proud to announce…

  • Mark Meckler’s CCW “Disorderly Conduct” (updated 13jan2012)

    George Rebane Mark Meckler's gun charge at La Guardia airport was disposed of as a "disorderly conduct" today.  He had to pay a small fine and his gun was confiscated.  The story made national headlines a few weeks ago when NYC applied its widely-acknowledged insane CCW law on a citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights…

  • Ruminations – 10jan2012

    George Rebane Barry Pruett reports that Doug LaMalfa will run for retiring Wally Herger’s seat.  I never got to know Rep Herger, but I do know and am a long time supporter of Senator LaMalfa.  California’s legislature is a notorious socialist railroad where Republicans have had scant influence in stopping the economic and social destruction…
