  • Ruminations – 19jun14 (updated 21jun14)

    George Rebane ‘The Lack of Major Wars May Be Hurting Economic Growth’ is a most interesting thesis put forward by George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen (also see his recent Average is Over).  In the NYT essay he provides a long list of developments that spurred economies, forms of governance, and even the arts arising…

  • Scattershots – 9jun14 (updated 10jun14, twice!)

    George Rebane Two sides claiming that 2+2 equals four and five can always find common ground at 4.5 …, which would still be wrong. Another strong piece of evidence that the ‘consensus science’ behind manmade (anthropogenic) global warming (AGW) continues to be institutionalized fraud is revealed by the National Association of Scholars.  NAS takes no…

  • Yes, we really have become polarized

    George Rebane The Left in recent years has intensified the narrative that the Right has shrunk in numbers while becoming more extreme in its ideology.  The Left sees its own collectivist approaches to organizing society as having become the ideological lingua franca of most Americans.  As evidence of this, the growth of the country’s self-declared…

  • The Liberal Mind – Hillary’s new logic on Benghazi

    George Rebane Hillary Clinton’s public copy on Benghazi is that she will not respond to any more queries about her involvement in that tragedy on her watch because that would be playing politics “on the backs of our dead.”  This by any reading is, of course, playing politics to the maximum on the subject, especially…

  • Ruminations – 20may14 (updated 22may14)

    George Rebane The Red Chinese and their People’s Liberation Army are hacking American corporations for designs, trade secrets, and business plans – imagine that.  Well, our AG Eric Holder did just that recently, and decided it was time to put his foot down and fight crime wherever it was found.  He actually indicted five PLA officers for…

  • Mexico Toughens Stance on Autonomy for Southwest US

    George Rebane Mexico City, 6 May 2024 – Mexico’s president Juan Carlos Echeverria announced in his Cinco de Mayo celebration speech in San Diego that Mexican forces that have staged over the last six months along Mexico’s northern border would be further reinforced.  Tensions have increased since Russia announced that it was providing additional combat…

  • Typhoon Tarnaev – one year on

    George Rebane Today there have been many observances and rembrances of the explosion at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three, injured over 260, and blew the limbs off 16 of them.  People were gathered at these planned events to celebrate their “show of defiance and resilience” in the face of this tragedy.  NPR this…

  • 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…
