  • Dark Days Diary – 13jan21 (updated 15jan21)

    George Rebane ‘America was born of dissent. It shall perish when dissent is forbidden.’  I used this anonymous aphorism as a tagline for a recent post, and upon reflection, it rings more true with each passing day.  Today loud voices are heard mostly from the Left, but also some from the Right, exhorting us to…

  • 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…

  • From my perch on 6 January 2021

    George Rebane A socialist imposes unequal opportunity, promises equal outcomes, and delivers uniform misery.  A capitalist imposes equal opportunity, enables individual initiative, and delivers unequal outcomes that provide the best possible prosperity to all. Today President Trump’s talk sunk the walk of the thousands of conservative DC protesters.  This dreadful character defect of his has…

  • 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…

  • Christmas – 2020

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane Last year I wrote – Another tumultuous year is ending with celebrations for peace and joy.  The Rebanes count themselves among the diminishing number…

  • ‘The Sovietization of California’

    George Rebane We have covered this dreadful progress to autocracy for years from a number of perspectives.  In my lifetime California has descended from its Olympian perch as the planet’s jeweled jurisdiction, to one that today competes with second and third world countries in governance, infrastructure maintenance, husbanding its natural resources, extracting tribute from its…

  • Contending and Correcting Elections

    "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord."  Isaiah 1:18 George Rebane There’s an ‘open letter to the President’ going around the email circuit beseeching him to invoke the Insurrection Act, activate National Guard and the military to seize ballots and vote computers across the nation, publish all the secret evidence of alleged voting…
