  • 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,…

  • The Foreign Policy of a Community Organizer (updated 13aug14)

    George Rebane It is hard to believe that someone can be elected to the highest office in the world, spend six years in the most expensive learn-while-you-earn educational program, and come out a reprobate dunce.  The man has the consistent counsel of countless advisers ranging from lackeys to bureau heads, department secretaries, and the Pentagon’s…

  • Rumblings of the Great Divide

    George Rebane A main theme and designated category of posts in these pages is the idea of the Great Divide.  The idea has been growing for some years now as the country polarizes, taking opposite sides of achieving objectives for the future organization of society best summarized under Agenda 21 (q.v.).  While not embraced solely…

  • The Democracy Dilemma (Addended)

      Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. (Winston Churchill from a House of Commons speech on Nov. 11, 1947) George Rebane On its centenary we revisit the world shaking impact of WW1.  The first of modern international wars did change…
