Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it 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.


Cooking the climate numbers in Australia

A comparison of the raw climate data with the adjusted numbers released by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology shows that the adjustments have routinely turned the trends from cooling to warming.

This is the same finding that Steven Goddard and others in the U.S. found when they did the same comparison of NASA and NOAA numbers. In every case the adjustments either cooled the past or warmed the present in order to accentuate the appearance of a warming trend, sometimes in complete contradiction of numbers that had been accepted by scientists for decades.

So, does this mean the climate isn’t warming? No. What it means is we haven’t the slightest idea what’s happening, since the data has now been corrupted so badly that it is almost meaningless.

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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

    All the BS “science” fine tuning aside, this has been one hell of a pleasant summer in the North East this year and if this is what Global Warming or Climate Chaos, what ever the terrifying label of the moment might be is going to bring, I say bring it on!

    (keeping in mind that when I comment on climate issues it is understood that I always am interested in and support the investigating and development of new technology in industry and power generation and the upgrading and installation of the best and cleanest technology when ever feasible and or possible.)

    Speaking of which has anyone commented on Andrea Rossi and LENR lately, any thoughts? This thing has been going on for some time now and seems to be holding up.

    And while we are on the subject of BS, what are are the Chinese smoking these days? This IMO is a ridiculous story and is designed to throw some kind of monkey wrench in the American strategic thinking or is part of a story line for a Chinese science fiction movie. Any volunteers for taking the first ride in that submarine? I know that there have been demonstrations of a torpedo moving within a cavitation bubble at around 300 miles per hour or so but an entire submarine moving at 3600 miles per hour? I am calling BS on the Chinese.

    “Chinese scientists a step closer to developing supersonic submarine
    The new ‘supercavitation’ methodology could see the vehicles travel at rates up to 3,600 mph underwater, being able to make the trip from Shanghai to San Francisco in about two hours.”

    A lib friend argued his case that there two sides to the climate debate. His side, supported by “data” and the denier side supported by evil corporations. This was too much for me. I stated that I concur that there are two sides. The climate-scam side led by Algore and his media friends, and the other side, which is simply the truth. I also pointed out that most corporations are run ethically and without them, we would be Haiti.

    Here’s a good real world example about traveling 4,000 miles per hour high in the atmosphere never mind under water. What happened? IT BLEW UP!

    You may find that the story about the Chinese building a 3,600 mile per hour sub is a hoax created for the gullible. (IMO of course)

    Its hard enough keeping a boat going at 200 MPH on top of the water without destroying itself, never mind 3,600 MPH under the water.
