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

George Washington’s Farewell Address

An evening pause: On George Washington’s actual birthday, let’s honor our first president with a history lesson essentially written by the man himself, and even more pertinent today.

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

    Only problem is that without the United States military we would all be under tyranny.

    DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA, REALLY?

    To the majority of rational Democrat Americans, in reality you agree with none of what the Democrat leadership is selling, none of it. And I am sorry but you know intuitively that that is true. You know better, personally despise Trump or not.

    And it becomes harder and harder for you to support the Democrat leadership’s extreme attraction to and alliance with their Leftist and even Communist doctrine.

    Supporting the Democrat leadership and their agenda is counter intuitive and un American on most every level.

    I tell people I know: “Trump is the best thing that has happened to Washington D.C. and the United States in 155 years, since Lincoln”. And I am dead serious. Some readily agree, and some look at me like I am insane.

    (But they know very well I am not insane. Reconcile.)

    The picture below says it all, and there is no justifying anything other than the proper control of our borders in all the ways that that is accomplished. Do you really agree that the normal condition of our borders is where 400 or 500 thousand people flood across it every year, and stay?

    Really?

    I didn’t think so.

  • Cotour: That link was no good, so I deleted it. Can you try again?

    Try this, its a picture of a single lady in an xray machine with her hands over her head at the airport trying to get through security to get on an airplane in the above picture and a caravan of about 10 thousand people marching towards the U.S. border, to enter as of their self determined right.

    The Democrat logic is once again revealed to be upside down, backwards and anti American.

  • Cotour: These links are not real urls, but links to an email you received, thus they are not readable to anyone else.

    You need to go to the webpage and get the actual url, from there.
