  • Climate Change Liars Unrepentant

    George Rebane As part of its overall evil intents for the future of America, the Democratic Party is comprised of the copious material liars on our political landscape.  Almost every pronouncement by their minions is refuted by the government’s own statistics ranging from inflation, the economic impact of the recent tax cuts, to border security. …

  • Neo-Marxism and Climate Change – the one-two punch

    ‘The Death of Direct Democracy Has Been Understated’, WSJ headline George Rebane The full court press of collectivist neo-Marxism in its progressive, woke, and Democratic Party versions pairs with the programmed hysteria of ‘Climate Change’ (nee global warming) as the two most significant and compelling worldviews being promoted across the globe by developed nations.  Both…

  • Those Pesky Estonians

    [Living under the armpit of Russia (czarist, communist, thugocracy), its perennial nemesis, Estonia is and has been an enthusiastic member of NATO.  As a small yet leading high-tech country it spends more than its required 2% of GDP on defense, and has been the first to respond with men and weapons in the fight against…

  • ‘The Intellectuals and Socialism’

    George Rebane F.A. Hayek was one of the world’s foremost economists and a giant among the original thinkers of the 20th century.  In this post I want to interest readers in his ideas and works with a short discussion of one of his small and often overlooked monograms – The Intellectuals and Socialism – published…

  • AI in the Medium and Message

    George Rebane Argentina’s president Javier Milei delivered an important speech at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  In it he described the history of Argentina’s tragic descent from being one of the world’s leading developed countries, enjoying the fruits of free market capitalism, to a nation today with a destitute and chaotic economy…

  • Ruminations – 8dec23 (updated 18dec23)

    George Rebane Idiots on parade. ‘Court allows New York to ban guns in sensitive places’ (here)  None of these idiots understand that 1) mass shooters don’t care a crock about such prohibitions, 2) such prohibitions have never reduced the frequency of mass shootings, and 3) mass shooters take comfort in knowing where law abiding citizens…

  • ‘Judaism and the Left’

    George Rebane Regular RR readers may recall the many posts in which I have questioned why so many people of the Jewish tradition continue to embrace all the various forms of collectivism – e.g. liberalism, socialism, communism.  This especially when all their acknowledged superior traits in the arts, sciences, and material wealth have been achieved…

  • Scattershots – 11nov23

    George Rebane ‘Biden Keeps the Billions Flowing to Iran’ details Joe Biden’s ongoing treachery to undermine America and its allies.  I am completely flummoxed as to why that treasonous asshole in the White House is not arrested immediately with House impeachment proceedings pending.  He is openly and actively aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of…

  • Ruminations – 7oct23 (updated 15oct23)

    George Rebane ‘Taking a Closer Look at the Vaunted Scandinavian Welfare States’ (here)  Here is a little wisdom for our leftwing readers who embrace ever more socialism based on their shared belief that it works in the Scandinavian countries.  Well not quite as this piece from the Mises Institute makes clear. Sacramento’s socialist sleazebags are…

  • Scattershots – 2sep23

    George Rebane ‘How the AI Revolution Will Reshape the World’ is an essay in the 1sep23 issue of Time that presents an excellent summary of how the advent of generative AI is launching “the greatest redistribution of power in history.”  Not only is this new wave of technology based on large language models sufficient to…
