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.

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:

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.

Finding out what’s not in it: “I can’t imagine this is how President Obama wanted it to happen.”

I can.

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

    Its the fact that its in place is what the accomplishment is, not specifically whats in it or what the concept was. Obamacare is a scaffolding awaiting what is determined through time to be effective to fill it. Its here now so every one has to deal with it, they saw how Roosevelt installed social security and medicare and that is their operating model. This is not rocket science.

    Obama could care less what problems turn up in the short term or who may or may not die from it, its a kind of Strategy Over Morality kind of big picture thinking. Just make sure that you don’t get caught in between. I think that’s referred to as collateral damage.

    And in the end if and when the Republicans theoretically attain the super majority in the coming elections to eliminate a veto threat by the president, do you think that they will reverse it? Maybe that’s why they seem to always shoot themselves in the foot, they would diverge from the set power structure in the country? And that’s why they are so threatened by the Tea Party?

    And this will be the counter punch strategy:

    And it will be effective if Congress allows it. That is, if the people allow the Congress to allow it.
