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


Obamacare’s biggest problem.

Obamacare’s biggest problem.

As Obamacare rolls out, many current health plans will be cancelled because they don’t meet new ACA requirements,. The people who held these plans will have to purchase a comparable plan on the exchanges. In many cases, the “comparable plan” will be much more expensive.

As people “find out what’s in it” and are horrified by the cost, they will begin to develop a large rage at Obama and the endless lies he told about what this law would do. You won’t get to keep your doctor or your insurance, and everything will be far more expensive, not cheaper, as he claimed. Instead, everything that conservatives and tea party activists have said is turning out to be right.

Readers!

 

Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.

 

I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID 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. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.

 

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.

 

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

    The blatant lies by the president are for the greater good, for the collective comrade. Get on board already, resistance is futile, you will be absorbed, you will be one with the Borg. I mean the government.

    Projecting into the future, I believe that this paradigm changing crap sandwich being served to the citizens of America by one party will in time cause a real world solution to be created that is market based in the form of individual heath accounts in the name of and controlled by the individual which also contains a catastrophic element. Without “Obamacare” there would not have been the emotion and focus created which would have pushed the people and the Republican party and their lobbyists to actually do something that we could consider a reasonable American solution to the problem. In time Obama may actually be the catalyst that creates the best solution.

    That’s as optimistic as I can be on this subject.
