  • George Rebane I was heartened to read the Other Voices column in today’s (9jun16) print edition of The Union by Jonathan Collier of the California Grower Association of Nevada County.  Mr Collier’s lengthy piece showed that he understood the wide range of issues related to growing MJ in our rural community.  His call for a…

  • George Rebane We in the IT development industry became aware over thirty years ago that the coming technology revolution would destroy more human jobs than create new ones.  Things would be different, very different.  No one believed us, least of all government types and those in the social sciences.  They all had their eyes in…

  • George Rebane Sustainability is the established watchword cum battle cry of 21st century world transforming progressives everywhere.  Its most identifiable provenance was the 1992 UN conference which gave us the globalists’ plan for the future – Agenda 21.  Today sustainability is continually evoked as the raison d’etre for stultifying public policies that constrict our activities and…

This is in contrast to the big National Lie continually repeated from the WH press room.  Regarding the election, Summers said, “I think the prospect of Donald Trump being President would be the gravest threat…

  • George Rebane In this year of 2016AD, is not the disjunction of our communal knowledge remarkable when it informs a goodly portion of us that capitalism and free enterprise are evil and the prime causes of misery and suffering wherever they are practiced; when in reality these are and continue to be the ONLY social…

  • George Rebane All sorts of news outlets, save the lamest of the lamestream, today report that Fidel has written Obama an ‘up yours’ letter subsequent to our president’s obsequious visit to Cuba. You can bet that this from-the-sidelines message was Raul’s idea.  Add to that his Tango Trip to Argentina, is there no one in…
