Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, 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

Obama administration considers Munich-like UN deal to partition Israel

Having failed in its effort to depose Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel’s elected leader, the Obama administration is considering making several international deals that will bypass Israel’s government and force that country to accept a Palestinian state — even though the leaders of the Palestinians are still vowing to destroy them.

More here.

Anyone with any education at all knows how well Chamberlain’s deal at Munich with Hitler worked out. Expect the same from Obama and the Palestinians.

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

    The Liberals just can not help themselves, in fact Obamas position here is certain to create extreme military confrontation and in the end that is where all issues of this nature are eventually finally settled. One side destroys the other side and the negotiation / conversation is no longer needed, diplomacy is over.

    Obama is actually pushing war by transmitting weakness and not peace by demonstrating strength. I do not think he really understands this basic rule of power and existence, he naively actually believes that he is able to intellectually change this law of power.

    This is a basic and fundamental failure to understand the nature of power capitol P and human nature and is why their version of the world must be built on lies and other peoples money and other peoples blood.

    A caller on “The Mark Levin show” last night described Israel as “The Eastern Border of Western Civilization”.

    Either our “current occupant” is stupid and doesn’t see the danger, or he sees the danger and doesn’t care because he’s evil.

    Personally, I think his foreign policy was formulated during high school while he was getting stoned. He appears to envision himself as the greatest peacemaker President of all time if he can end all world conflicts by showing the bullies that we mean them no harm. That would explain the reason for the abandonment of the occupation of Iraq, normalizing relations with Cuba, capitulating to Iran, and the surrender of Israel to the tender mercies of Hamas. Whats next? Withdrawing from South Korea?

    I wish someone could tell him that unlike a basketball game where everybody gets a trophy, peace through surrender is not the equivalent of peace through winning. I guess he’ll just have to learn the principle through a “practical demonstration”. Too bad for “the folks” in the meat grinder though.
