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

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

    They may have gotten their gun camera video if drones existed during Waco. Now that was an example of things getting out of control where innocent children were IMO murdered by government entities. I wonder where Janet Reno is spending her time these days, I suspect she has a heat rash problem.

    It’s an ill wind that blows no good…they way things are going, soon , very soon, one of these standoffs with the feds will result in blood. think waco or ruby ridge…

    Talked with a number of liberal acquaintances regarding the standoff. To them, there is no question that EVERYBODY should stand down to government authority. If not, they deserve what they get.

    I agree with Orion314, this will indeed result in bloodshed. Probably much quicker than any of us would have imagined just a few weeks ago.

    BTW, a thought occurred to me a few days ago. There can be little doubt that in today’s surveillance culture that the federal government knows the identify of every person that showed up to defend the Bundy ranch and cattle. What will happen to these people over the next few months and years? Will they become IRS targets? Will they experience mysterious health care or other federal benefit snafus? Or perhaps worse? That being said, the identity of everyone who has even made a blog posting or comment in support of the resistance is probably tracked and likely identified to a real person (or at least to a real person’s home or work). Are we all being identified, as Harry Reid would call us, as potential or actual “Domestic Terrorists”. Do we doubt there is a digital dossier on each one of us in the vast NSA domestic intelligence databases? I know this sounds paranoid, but one has to wonder…

    We better ultimately win this battle in the political sphere? If not, the alternative will be VERY ugly for anyone not in support of government authority and action.

    Liberals. For people who declare that they are peaceful, they certainly spend a lot of time, ink, and internet space preaching violence. Maybe they aren’t as peace loving as they proclaim.

    I suppose that would explain why the liberal French Revolution guillotined so many people.

  • Deplorable indeed, but the linked article doesn’t have the best sources,

    This one at least links directly to the tweets in question.

    Even better, read the replies to the original tweets.

    It’s enlightening to note that original posters are not the only ones behaving poorly. Commenters on both the right and the left made similar threats with one conservative stating his wish that the original poster ‘drop dead’.

    Jeez-let’s not give these psychopaths any more ideas, I can just see the TSA with guillotines in the airport check-in lines….
