  • Ruminations – 30sep14

    'My Uncle Frank in Chicago was a staunch Conservative, and voted straight Republican until the day he died.  Since then he has voted Democrat.'  (H/T to reader) George Rebane Measure S proponents have an ex parte court hearing tomorrow to change the wording on the ballot that has been known to all since last April.  These…

  • Ruminations – 23sep14

    George Rebane The ISIS fatwa urging all Muslims in the world to ‘kill ‘em wherever you find ‘em’ is finally starting to cause some serious concerns among western leaders.  The news services are reporting frustrating communiques being issued by presidents, prime ministers, intelligence service heads, and national police forces.  The problem comes with the radicalized…

  • Walking Back Climate ‘Science’ & Policy (updated 22sep14)

    Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.  Luke 23:34 George Rebane On the front of the 20sep14 edition of WSJ is a top-of-the-page herald that reads ‘Climate Science is NOT Settled’ (emphasis theirs; source of filched photo).  I have waited at least ten years for the world’s preeminent newspaper to publish a…

  • A Nation in Denial

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 September 2014.] Are we in information overload?  It’s hard to think back to a time when Americans have been in such deep denial about so many things going on in the world – both here and abroad.  When I begin…

  • Cultural Solidarity (updated 16sep14)

    George Rebane As we await this week’s vote for Scotland’s independence, my thoughts again turn to culture and its role in shaping a people and structuring a society.  Reviewing some of these notions with you at this time might even pique some discussion.  The basic idea here is that what a society can/will or cannot/will…

  • While Waiting for a Backbone (updated 12sep14)

    George Rebane We anxiously await President Obama’s foreign policy speech tomorrow in which he will again make “perfectly clear” a strategy with which no one, and I do mean NO ONE, in the world has seen as anything but meak, muddled, or missing.  RR is on record as one of the earliest to recognize that…

  • Shamed into a strategy? (updated 17sep14)

    George Rebane The pen is mightier than the sword only to the extent that it can invoke the sword. Every stream of lame confusion put out by this administration is claimed to be “perfectly clear” by Josh Earnest, the shamelessly earnest shill who currently mans the WH press room.  That nothing this president says or promises…

  • Ruminations – 5sep14 (updated 6sep14)

    George Rebane Google is diving into the anti-aging drug markets by teaming with R&D firm AbbVie and deals with big pharma in the offing.  This is one of the inevitable tacks that the big search firm is taking with Dr Ray Kurzweil at its technology helm.  Kurzweil (q.v.), a proselytizer of the Singularity, is a longtime…

  • Silence of the Lambs (updated 14sep14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2014.] It is now twelve years since WSJ Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim terrorists.  Since then countless thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in the name of their ‘religion…

  • EMP is a civilization killer

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 Auguest 2014.] Imagine the next time the lights go out and your house settles into that unnatural but familiar silence when there is a power outage.  You know what to do.  If you have a landline phone in your house,…
