  • Your life savings will bail in SIFIs

    Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. – Sir Walter Scott George Rebane Remember those banks and other financial institutions that were ‘too big to fail’?  Well, the IMF has confirmed that the world of global finance still has such enterprises so that if one goes down, it has…

  • Global Warming – the latest official update

    George Rebane The Lysenko list of our leftwing is more apparent than ever with the release of the second part of IPCC’s latest report (AR5) on global warming.  It turns out that they’re quietly walking back the hysteria generated over the last years – the warming is 1) not anywhere near as large as previously…

  • Cracking the Code

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 March 13, 2014.] It’s TechTest season again.  On April 5th some of Nevada County’s brightest students heading for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math or STEM careers will be competing in a grueling four-hour merit scholarship exam that has become a springtime…

  • Go along to get screwed

    George Rebane From recent developments we again see that compromising your principles to play the ‘go along to get along’ (GATGA) game does not work.  It looks like the two Republican strategies I outlined in 'Republican Rumblings' were spot on when we consider what went down at CPAC this week, and what the Repubs are…

  • Robin Milam responds on ‘Rights of Nature’

    [In my 26feb14 post on 'The Rights of Nature' I invited Ms Robin Milam of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature to respond.  She has kindly submitted the following response to the points I raised, and expanded on a number of other issues that are salient to incorporating the rights of nature into…

  • Ruminations – 5mar14 (updated 7mar14)

    George Rebane The 1-7mar14 Economist features a thoughtful study ‘What’s gone wrong with democracy, and how to revive it’.  A few more pieces like this and I may have to change my attribution of the newspaper as a center-left publication.  The authors do a good job documenting all the pitfalls of democratic governance familiar to…

  • Obama’s New World Disorder (updated 4mar14)

    It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.  Mark Twain George Rebane As long heralded in these pages, President Obama’s ignorance of foreign policy (we’ll give him the benefit of our doubts) is coming into full bloom in Ukraine.  He has made it clear to all but the country’s…

  • The Rights of Nature (updated 6mar14)

    George Rebane Yes, today there is a small but vociferous cadre of well-meaning people who believe that trees, bushes, swamps, creeks, hills, and even rocks have rights that have been overlooked and must now be recognized.  They call themselves The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) and about sixty of them gathered last…

  • Economic Bombshells Muffled

    George Rebane Those getting their news from the lamestream regularly miss important aspects of recent developments.  Three particular items come to mind that will first affect our economy, and then perhaps impact our slide toward socialism. The Republicrats have repealed the requirement for a national debt ceiling, thereby allowing the Treasury to continue borrowing with…

  • Ruminations – 3feb2014 (updated 4feb14)

    George Rebane Just a couple of observations from the other side of the tipping point.  The collectivist grip on our lives gets tighter by the day. Local leftwingers will demonstrate against the XL Keystone pipeline reports the 3feb14 Union.  The usual suspects from the Nevada County Climate Change Coalition (NC-CCC), coordinating with CREDO, Rainforest Action…
