Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the 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. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

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.

 

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 audit in Arizona

My representative in the Arizona house, Mark Finchem, send out an email yesterday outlining in detail the demands of the two subpoenas the state senate has now served on the Maricopa County (covering Phoenix) board of elections. The requirements appear quite thorough:

The first calls for a scanned ballot audit, to collect an electronic ballot images cast for all mail-in ballots counted in the November 2020 general election. The subpoena is narrowly tailored to just Maricopa County. Using the ballot images, the Audit Team will likely utilize extremely sensitive optical scanning software designed to identify phony ballots from legitimate, machine completed versus legitimate voter completed. And. of those ballots that fall into the “suspect” category, the candidate can be identified from the ballot. This means that if a ballot is found to be illegitimate, a count can be made tied directly to the candidate who claimed the vote.

The second subpoena calls for a full forensic audit of ballot tabulation equipment, the software for that equipment and the election management system used in the 2020 General Election. This audit will go deeper than just the elections software written by Maricopa County that was used on the Dominion equipment, wit will include the source code and underlying software that runs the so-called tabulation system.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors must answer the subpoena’s on or before 5:00 pm on December 18, 2020.

The first subpoena will make sure that fake ballots were not scanned, and if they were, they can be invalidated so that a new correct count can be done.

The second subpoena will next look at the Dominion tabulators to see if they were correctly tabulating the count. If it finds that they were counting the ballots scanned correctly, that will be wonderful news. If it is instead found that they were not, than a manual handcount will be required, and this evidence will further confirm the allegations in other states that these machines are unreliable and might even be designed to defraud the vote.

Finchem also noted in the email that if the audits find that any of the allegations are true, than the investigation will be expanded to cover other counties.

Based on this information, it appears that the Arizona state legislature is now serious about investigating the election count to make sure it was legitimate.

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

    I feel like it will be too late when they finally get some answers. And I don’t know what is worse, never knowing the dems actually cheated, or knowing the dems actually cheated and got away with it. I suppose there is a sliver of hope that either they prove the dems did not actually cheat so at least we know the entire system isn’t as corrupted as we think it is, or prove the dems did cheat and overturn election for Trump. But its mid December and January 20 is just over a month away with two nonworking holidays in between.

  • Questioner

    Kyle:

    I’m sorry, but it has already been proven, even if this fact is recognized very late by the courts, that Dems (and their supporters) cheated on a not yet known scale massively. You have to face this reality.

  • Phill O

    My bet is that there is no chain of custody established and the machines have been “cleaned”

    Sorry for the pessimism!

    I remember Hillary’s wiping.

  • Cotour

    Looks like the McCains (?) / Democrats were desperate to make sure Trump was trounced in Arizona?

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/numbers-dont-lie-data-scientists-break-voter-fraud-arizona-shocking-video/

    Nearly 800K laundered votes?

  • Gary

    Wherever there has been intentional fraud, there will also be intentional and professional clean up.
    Regardless of what they find, it is highly unlikely that Trump will remain as president, but it is still important to find out what happened.

  • Kyle

    I understand they cheated, but at this rate Biden will be sworn in before any of these investigations and audits are finally wrapped up, then what happens? I guess we get to say “I told you so” but in the end they still cheated and won. They will do more damage to the country, in 4 years we will try again, and it will come down to 60,000 votes in key states and look at that, a bunch of late returns show Biden won re-election even though he is in hospice care. I guess the only way to to win now is to out cheat the cheaters, but that’s how societies collapse.

    IF THIS IS ALLOWED TO STAND THE LEFTISTS HAVE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES WON

    https://populist.press/justice-caught-on-video-admitting-why-he-really-refused-election-fraud-case/

    “This video of court justices in Texas proves that. They fought loudly over whether to hear the Texas election fraud case out of fear the inevitable results would lead to leftist riots. Essentially, they are admitting Trump won by their outrage and fear of proving Biden is not the rightful victor.”

    All the Left now has to do is threaten to riot, and they will get what ever they want. Especially under a Biden administration. I think if and when (If that is now ever again possible) the Republicans again control the Congress and Senate they might consider replacing Judge Roberts.

    John Roberts, you choose the words you want to describe in with.

    If this is allowed to stand our country is done, delivered to the feet of the Chinese and who ever else wants to spit in our face and own us.

    John Roberts, documented passenger on the Lolita express, is the problem along with any other legislator who allows this to stand.

    And I think we know who is pulling his strings and pushing his buttons, Ma Barker and associates.

    The Supreme Court of Sweden.
    Neville Chamberlain presiding.

    Soros’ strategy is working as planned.

  • Spamf Roming

    It’s NOT too late. This doesn’t have to make it’s way through any court, Supreme or otherwise. It just has to be shown to THE PEOPLE, and when enough people see the plain truth, Congress will refuse to accept the Electors that resulted from this TREASON. They will instead vote (1 vote per state deletation) for President, and Trump will win. Which he already did, but this would make it official. It’s in the Constitution, baby. Those Founders really were geniuses.

  • Questioner

    Cotour:

    It is not over.

    Interesting, here are some news on the Supreme Court’s motivation for dismissing the Texas case. The judges feared riots!
