  • Nationalism is a complex, multidimensional concept involving a shared communal identification with one’s nation. It is a political ideology oriented towards gaining and maintaining self-governance, or full sovereignty, over a territory of historical significance to the group (such as its homeland). – Wikipedia George Rebane The Dutch voted yesterday in high numbers to determine which…

  • George Rebane America can afford to care for its poor, but not the world's poor. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 February 2017.] Our world is going through an historical upheaval – possibly the penultimate one for humankind.  The salutary effects of western capitalism and colonialism have awakened…

  • George Rebane ‘We are not a democracy’ is again patiently explained by Ms Cindy Hren in today’s Union.  Numerous times in history has the Left led the least-read into social cesspools as they followed banners screaming ‘Democracy Now!’  They know not for what they wish. Climate change hysteria abating?  Am I not monitoring the correct…

  • George Rebane Americans have always been told to keep their powder dry; well, the Democrats want you to let government take over that job. Systemic unemployment, in conjunction with the Singularity a much discussed issue on these pages over the years, is now beginning to draw the attention of more and more analysts, commentators, and…

  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • George Rebane By all accounts according to the progressives’ definition I am an islamophobe.  My apprehension of Islam’s colonization and eventual conquest of the west has been well documented in these pages.  The ill-read and uneducated leftwingers have taken such apprehensions to be the outrageous screeds of a minority back country white knuckledraggers.  It is hard…

  • Feedback is the virtue that turns democracy with all its vices, into the least-worst political system.  (And) feedback is turning the incalculable Trump into a tractable, potentially successful president.  Holman W. Jenkins Jr. George Rebane The latest Muslim terrorist attacks in European cities continue to change the cultural landscape of western civilization.  Ground level attacks…

  • [As the predictable was predicted, the world’s bad guys are having their last 'way' with our globally recognized weak and incompetent outgoing president.  Brazenly taking our submersible was just the most recent case of incoming international insults.  Few note that the Chinese didn’t even need to steal the ‘drone’, for stealing means to take something surreptitiously…
