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.


Palin wins first battle with NYTimes in her libel lawsuit

This should be entertaining: A federal judge has ruled that the New York Times editorial writer who smeared Sarah Palin in an editorial will have to testify under oath about that editorial.

The editorial tried to blame Palin for the 2011 Tucson mass shooting by an insane man, even though the New York Times’ own reporting had previously shown without doubt that no such link existed. In order to avoid losing their case, the editorial writer is going to have to claim that he doesn’t read his own newspaper, and thus did not know about the Times own reporting on this story. Otherwise, it will appear that the editorial was malicious and a lie, and thus libelous.

Like I said, this should be entertaining. Either Palin wins the lawsuit hands down, or the New York Times will have to make itself look like a piece of junk. Which, by the way, it has mostly been for the past three decades.

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

    This is an excellent development! (and it WILL be highly entertaining, not to mention Educational!)
    (I’m liking this Don Surber quite a bit!)

    >Anytime you can get these people under Oath for discovery, is a gift from Heaven!!

    Haven’t had a chance to search yet— anyone have the link(s) handy to the actual Federal District Court PDF’s of the most current Ruling?? (I haven’t read the actual lawsuit from Palin as of yet either, if someone has that PDF handy….)

    I’m no Lawyer, but personally, I believe it’s best to read the actual documents to get a grip on the real legal-questions at hand, rather than personalities or manufactured narratives.

    Tangentially– this is what in-part (legally) prevents quasi-terror groups like CAIR (unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding Case, btw) from suing folks like RUSH or LEVIN.
    They are subjected to discovery under-oath, and that’s when you dig deep for every incriminating email & text.

    I will pivot slightly, but only for educational-purposes, but I don’t want to detract from the main Thread:
    [CAIR, not to mention their best-friends-forever the editorial board of the NYT’s, have specifically targeted Palin on multiple occasions.]
    “Mark Levin responds to accusations from C.A.I.R.”

    This is why Trumps court appointments are so important. Once threads are pulled the entire corrupt enterprises gets exposed, but only if the left is denied from putting in their own people to investigate themselves. And the right should never voluntarily reuse themselves unless the rule of law can be trusted which isn’t today.
