Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four 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 or subscription:

 

4. 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.


More enraged anti-American protests against Trump

Feel the hate: Though there was less violence than previous anti-Trump protests, the protesters yesterday in San Diego, as shown by this report, illustrated several things about what they stand for.

First, they hate the United States. Just look at the plethora of Mexican flags, as well as the signs, including one that proudly reads, “America was never great,” with the word America made of dripping blood.

Second, they hate Trump. Once again, their signs and behavior, including attacking any Trump supporters that happened walk by, prove this.

Three, they hate knowledge. In this case the sign that reads “We are all women! Mexican! Muslim! Love trumps hate!” illustrates this, since it incoherently supports women and Islam at the same time, somehow forgetting that Islam is probably the world’s most aggressive oppressive of women.

Four, they hate whites, demonstrated by the signs that read “Brown power will rise!!!” and “Black and Brown lives matter” (found here).

I could go on. What I really want to note is that these people, who also make very clear their leftwing agenda, simply hate. The anger and intolerance of those they disagree with or have a skin color (white) they don’t like, is obvious and disgusting. What I find interesting is the left has always been this way, but for some reason they no longer feel a need to disguise it.

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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. 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

    Trumps American interest based rhetoric is exactly what makes LA RAZA and their followers very nervous. I believe what they believe is that the white man stole lower California / Texas from the Mexicans and in time that will reverse. You know, when ‘social justice ” is fully implemented by the leftists running America.

    Trump’s American rhetoric is their worst nightmare.

    Zombie’s posts are always excellent. She does the work that our journalists should be doing. Not sure why ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, or any of the others refuse to take a look at these non-profit activist groups engaging in politics, their tactics, organizational structures, or who funds them other than the desire to protect the Democrat party.

  • Edward

    Most interesting. Farther down is another “America Was Never Great” sign that also has a timeline showing slavery and segregation in America. Strangely, it does not mention that the Mayan Empire, Mexico before there was a Mexico, performed human sacrifices. That seems to me a bit worse than segregation and slavery.

  • Cotour

    “Slavists” are under the impression that the white man invented slavery and it only existed here in the colony’s. Little do they realize that ultimately it was the white man with his Constitution who ended it here in America and in most of the rest of the world. Their narrative is a bit narrow and self serving, sounds great though when you are spouting it in front a bunch of mind numbed 20 year old piles of moldable intellectual mush and the eternally dependent.

    Edward/wodun/Cotour:
    Right on point.

  • Cotour

    Listen here to pure indoctrinated leftist ignorance, an elected representative does not think it fair that the Declaration be recited, I suppose to not even be known of ? She does not even think it relevant because Dr. Martin Luther King did not exist, nor did anyone alive today exist at the time it was written.

    https://youtu.be/uNiiFOj2lEc

    Q: Why is she not still a slave? How is it that there are no longer slaves in America?

    I would love to hear her address that question, how might she attempt to answer it? It boggles my mind.

  • Wayne

    Cotour– yow, what an ignorant nut-job!

  • Wayne

    Cotour: (indeed anyone)

    Tangential, but hits on your/Edward/woduns, comments on the original post;
    Excellent, lengthy, (2-part) author-discussion at the John Batchelor Show recently;
    [http://johnbatchelorshow.com/podcasts/download]

    “Eternity Street: Violence & Justice in Frontier Los Angeles” by Mack Faragher.
    Lots of good historical factoids on California & Mexico.
    -You’ve got the Spanish, Mexico, indigenous Indians, & “Californio’s,” all vying for eventual control of modern day “California.”
    –Spanish were enslaving “Indians” in California, long before we got into it.

    As for the violent Trump-haters: It’s incredibly odd that “Feminist’s” align with the Muslims, and Mexican’s, against Trump. Incoherent & bizzaro special-interest blocks, the only thing which unites them is their hatred of Trump and indeed America, Capitalism, and Freedom/Liberty. Trump is not my Guy, but these people are dangerous & a threat to us all.
    As Mr. Z notes, “they no longer feel a need to disguise it.”

    Re Cotour’s recommended video:
    It seems that the speaker does not realize that in order to rectify an injustice, it is necessary to define and declare the injustice. That is what the Declaration that she despised was all about. Even the US Constitution was able to put in place controls on slavery, despite the great economic dependence that some of its signatories had on the practice.

    That people do not understand these concepts is yet another impeachment of our public education system.

    I forgot to include this additional comment: What a bunch of stupid bastards.

  • Cotour

    Related because Trump says the he will reject “global warming” doctrine, or what ever it is being called at the moment:

    Now this is just inconvenient, might God (if there is a God) be actively screwing with the globalists and Obama specifically?

  • Joe

    Cotour, based on Trumps position on global warming alone, I will vote for him! Climate change may very well be the number one fraud perpetrated on man kind, while its a disaster, it has not yet affected us any where near the fraud of communism or socialism has on its victims.

  • Cotour

    Did you ever think that you would be “down” with weed smokin, gangsta rapper Snoop Dog?

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/im-sick-of-this-sht-snoop-dogg-goes-off-on-roots-revival-encourages-boycott/

    And he is exactly correct, Hollywood and the Left continuously must reinforce the “slave” narrative in order to keep the “natives” restless. Such sick individuals and a sick movement, they must have a continuing culture of rage and dependency in order to keep their power. Two thumbs up Snoop.

    Me thinks that a great wind of change is going to begin to blow this November, both nationally and locally.

  • Joe

    I hope you are right Cotour
