  • Letters from the Revolution – 23jun20

    George Rebane It is only the reality of force that makes peaceful diplomacy possible. As our buildings burn, more black lives end that don’t make no nevermind, as China continues to build its muscle to rule its ‘near abroad’, Germany bitches about America not doing more to defend its carefully cloistered butt, and Democrats are…

  • Scattershots – 3jun20 (updated 4jun20)

    George Rebane Worldwide lockdowns were triggered by panicky politicians who listened to the ‘eminent epidemiologist’ Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London.  He came out with a slew of mortality predictions almost every country of note by monkeying with his models.  Trouble is that none of them came anywhere near true, but politicians were reluctant…

  • Ruminations – 29may20 (updated 3jun20)

    George Rebane How soon they forget – “The accusation that Trump got rid of a pandemic office is among the left’s politicized attacks on the White House since the coronavirus outbreak began. The administration assembled a coronavirus task force run by Vice President Mike Pence to address security and medical issues.”  This was echoed in…

  • Documentary on the origin of the CCP virus

    George Rebane A reader sent me an interesting piece in the Epoch Times, an independent non-partisan news outfit rapidly gaining a reputation for their no-nonsense reporting.  They have put some effort into assembling a detailed documentary video on the origin of C19, aka CCP virus, aka Covid-19, aka (longer and more detailed labels).  The information…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 11apr20 (updated 12apr20)

    George Rebane Today is HD35 for the Rebanes.  And all things considered on our ridge top overlooking Deer Creek Canyon and the Central Valley, we are doing well.  We’ve gone out twice now for groceries and haven’t even come close to hitting our ‘large scale emergency’ stash.  We continue to meet online with our respective…

  • Epidyne – At first blush

    George Rebane As promised, I finally finished the V1.0 version of Epidyne during this enforced C19 self-quarantine, or hunkering down period as it is better known.  The stay at home has allowed a lot of things to get accomplished on everyone’s ‘do list’.  At our house we have not had a boring moment – so…

  • Scattershots – 20mar20 (22mar20)

    George Rebane 'Most of us will get the Wuhan virus, a small fraction of us will die.  But we will continue business and commerce as usual with all the prudence we can each muster, because the death and destitution a depression will bring will be much worse for all of us.'  A hoped for statement…

  • “Testing, testing, testing” – Really? (updated 23mar20)

    George Rebane Those words from Speaker Pelosi summarized her three most important aspects of the pandemic legislation now going through Congress.  But once more I believe that the lady misses the point here.  Testing will do demonstrably little to stop or even slow down the inevitable and incipient explosion of Covid19 infections in the land. …

  • The Long Road Back – Loss/Recovery

    George Rebane Given all the problems caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic, we now contemplate your investment portfolio in light of the markets’ plunge over the last two weeks – in short, we’ll now expand our horizons from the morbid to the macabre.

  • Bernie’s Big Lie – Socialist Sweden

    George Rebane Sen Bernie Sanders’ lies are too many to count, but one that he keeps repeating successfully to the nation’s light thinkers involves the myth of Scandinavian socialism.  This is the kind of socialism that Bernie wants to incorporate in the United States, and he continues to use Sweden as the posterchild of how…
