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

The presidential campaign primary schedule

Link here.

The schedule is packed in March, which means we could call this the political verson of March Madness.

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

    Imagine a journalist in 2016 asking this question to presidential candidate Jeb Bush:

    Mr. Bush, 30 or so years ago your father G. Bush sr. was the first president to mention his agenda in a speech of a “New World Order”, this agenda was then pushed by B. Clinton, the president who brought us the end to Glass Steigle and the re-invigoration of the Community reinvestment act which brought the United States to the brink of financial collapse and then we had your brother by G. Bush jr., who brought us 911 and the Patriot Act and further financial misdeeds, followed by Barack Obama who seems determined to punish America by spending and additional 8 TRILLION DOLLARS and administering executive orders to force the acceptance of millions of illegal immigrants into the population and various other anti Constitutional acts.

    Q: What makes you think that we the American people want another helping of the exact same thing that has delivered us all to this point in time where we find ourselves, at the edge of this what appears to be an engineered financial collapse, the destruction of our Constitution and the surrendering of our country’s sovereignty by the current president and the Congress ?

    Do you assume that we all are collectively insane?

    If Jeb Bush winds up being the republican candidate for president we can all agree that America is over and the Globalists / New World Order has won and we are all just here to collectively serve them.

    The existing soft fascism that the left promotes as being “fair” and “just”.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/01/03/how-liberals-are-the-new-autocrats.html

    Your new American reality:

    “Increasingly the call is not so much for a benevolent and charismatic dictator, but for an impaneled committee of experts to rule over our lives. Former Obama budget adviser Peter Orszag and Thomas Friedman argue openly that power should shift from naturally contentious elected bodies—subject to pressure from the lower orders—to credentialed “experts” operating in Washington, Brussels, or the United Nations.”

    G. Bush Sr. sleeps well tonight, his agenda is well under way.
