My February birthday fund-raising campaign for this website, Behind the Black, is now over. Despite a relatively weak initial three weeks, the last week was spectacular, making this campaign the second best ever.

 

Thanks to every person who donated or subscribed. It continues to astonish me that people who can read my work for free like it enough to donate money voluntarily. Words cannot express my appreciation for that support, especially in these uncertain times.

 

If you have been a regular reader and a fan of my work and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider doing so. I take no ads, I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands (most of the time). Thus, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

A list of politicians boycotting Netanyahu

Link here. The list is incomplete, as it doesn’t include Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts). Nonetheless, it is instructive to note which party every single one of these politicians belongs to. I think you can guess.

But they support Israel! They said so!

In related news, it is now reported that President Obama has cut off providing Israel its intelligence information about Iran’s nuclear program.

But Obama supports Israel! He said so!

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    I can never understand the thinking of empowering your sworn enemy. Iran is both Americas and Israel’s sworn enemy by their own well stated admission. You can justify from their point of view why that is the way it is by citing different manipulations by the powers that be in the world over the years but still when you boil it down Iran’s stated intent by their own words is to vaporize Israel when they have the opportunity.

    The president and his fellow liberals, Jews included, in their moral litteralist thinking believe that America does not have the right to dominate a sovereign country by not allowing them to gain those weapons by which they intend to carry out their well stated intent.

    This kind of thinking when introduced to the power that enables it to actually exist in the real world becomes an existential threat to everyone. And the president is in the process of finalizing some kind of agreement that will accomplish for the Iranians what they would not be able to accomplish without the help of the highest powers.

    These kind of people when in office become a near guarantee that their will be a much higher level of conflict and possibly a third world war.

    When you are willing to give your power advantage away to your enemy that is either called being naive or it is called treason. Choose one.

    And this woman thinks that its an insult to the intelligence of America that BiBi spoke to Congress.

    I can not think a of a more insulting to the American intelligence person than this woman. This ding bat is the third or forth person in line in our government, that, besides being genuinely terrifying, is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. That is what we should all fear.
