  • To Declare Wars or Not

    George Rebane After the end of our last declared war, diplomat extraordinaire and historian George Kennan wrote in 1946 what has come to be known as the ‘Long Telegram’ (q.v.) outlining a policy to contain the post-war global aspirations of the USSR.  That was quickly followed by his now famous ‘X article’ – ‘The Sources…

  • It’s the Dawa, stupid! (updated 10apr17)

    George Rebane ‘Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam’s Most Eloquent Apostate’ now makes her latest attempt to explain the sum and substance of Islam in a well-summarized interview conducted at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.  Longtime RR readers will recognize that this American scholar, born as a Somalian Muslim, corroborates every point made in these pages about the…

  • Ruminations – 7apr17 (updated 13apr17)

    George Rebane Hallelujah!  Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate and will now fill the ‘Scalia seat’ on SCOTUS.  This brilliant constitutional jurist is just what the country needs to slow our headlong rush to socialism, and assure us all that the high court will fulfill its constitutional role without encroaching on Congress or…

  • AI, Education, and Immigration (Updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Recently the new SecTreas Steve Mnuchin was quoted (here) to claim that the acceleration of technology, specifically the advent of smart machines, would have no or minimal effect on US employment.  The overwhelming evidence that inundates us daily (e.g. recently here and here) leads one to conclude exactly the opposite.  Warning of the…

  • Nationalist Reflections (updated 20mar17)

    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…

  • The Benedict Option

    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…

  • Ruminations – 17feb17 (updated 20feb17)

    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…

  • Ruminations – 13feb17 (updated 14feb17)

    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…

  • ‘Pausebuster’ busted – lamestream laying low

    George Rebane The corrupt ‘science’ (it does not deserve the name) behind the global warming hysteria is unraveling by the day, and the lamestream media is doing everything it can to hide the reports and the devastating supporting facts.  Today the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology issued a press release corroborating the reports…

  • Scattershots – 2feb2017 (updated 5feb17))

    George Rebane More signs of our times.  SESF Executive Director Russ Steele and I along with our brides attended a robotics competition last Sunday at the Folsom campus of Intel Corporation.  One of the teams competing was from Nevada Union HS, and we were there to root for the home team.  They did quite well,…
