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.


Posting to be light

For the next few days posting will be very light, as today I developed a detached retina in the right eye and will undergo treatment tomorrow to fix it. The doctor is optimistic, but I will be unable to sit and stare at the computer much after tomorrow’s procedure until probably Wednesday.

If all goes well I should resume posting on Wednesday, with a two hour appearance that night on Coast to Coast to discuss climate, environmentalism, and the corruption of science because of politics.

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

    Ouch, I’m sorry to hear that Robert- I hope you come through the procedure ok and recover well.

    We need more ‘Climate Deniers’ like you around. (Being called a ‘Denier’ by the global warmist cult and/or fraudsters is a badge of honor in my book.)

    Here’s hoping you stay as healthy as your skepticism!

  • I’ve had a detached retina. It’s not fun. Prayer for a speedy recovery.

    As an aside, it amazing testament to the advancement of medicine and technology that you can suffer a detached retina, an have it repaired to function within the span of a week.

    I worked with someone who also had a detached retina. He recovered and is well. I anticipate an equally happy recovery for you, too.

    Had a scare of that myself a year or two back.

    Hope by the time you read this you are all back together and feeling (and seeing) better.

    Detached retinas are bad news. The good news is that prompt diagnosis and treatment point to an excellent outcome. Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow, and we look forward to hearing some global warming truths on Wednesday night. Best wishes!

    I hope that you have a safe operation and a swift recovery.
