Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, 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

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Fifth anniversary fund-raiser

In celebration of Behind the Black’s fifth anniversary, I am considering ending the automated Google ads that presently appear on the site. To I remove these ads, however, I need to replace that income. I am therefore asking that my readers consider contributing to the website, either with a one-time contribution or a regular subscription, as outlined in the tip jar to the right.

So far the response has been gratifying. My heart-felt thanks go out to all who have contributed.

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

    Bob, I can’t find a way to make a contribution with a MasterCard. Looks like contributions can only be done with paypal and I don’t use paypal.

  • Thank you for donation offer. I really appreciate it.

    I can only take credit cards through Paypal. If you are willing, however, you can always mail me a check directly. I will email you my address if this appeals to you.

    Bob, what I’m suggesting is to allow a mastercard donation in the same way you allow a subscription with mastercard.

    If that’s not possible then email you address.

    I listened intently to you on Coast last night. I have heard we are mining the moon and and possible other planets. Specifically, in a book written by a woman who was in the Air Force and was forced to ride in a UFO with too other Air Force men, an Officer and the vehicle was operated by a alien, She was forced to provide sex fro the other workers which were also being held against their will on the moon where mining operations were being conducted. She was not allowed to talk to anyone as they were being guarded by the Grays. They drugged here to make her forget and she had hypnosis to revive her memory. Good Book. The thing is, what elements are we seeking or mining that we do not have on earth? If we have the technology to go to other planets, we should have the ability to synthesize any element. So, what are we mining there on these planets? Additionally, you mentioned you were talking to a whistle blower…What does he say who is behind this mining? Are the ETs in control here for the mining; seems they are always present as guards. What does the whistle blower say about what we are mining? When is he going public to name names and agencies? Is he afraid of his life; if not, why not. This is important information wee need to know. Thanks,
