A quick one week fund-raising campaign for Behind the Black: Thank You!
My quick one week fund-raising campaign for Behind the Black is now over.
Thank you to everyone that donated or subscribed. As always I am surprised by the number of people who do so, considering that my work here is free for the taking. Because of this, to make sure everyone sees this message of thanks I will keep it on the to of the page for the next few days.
You of course can still donation or subscribe, if you wish. All you need to do is go to the tip jar below or in the right column, depending on the technology you use to view the webpage. There you will find four options for supporting me, including by subscription or donation.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID 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. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
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.
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

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.
Bob. I am sorry you have to do an extra fund raiser. Thanks for the heads up about the fees. I’ve upped my monthly subscription to help offset.
Joe: Thank you! I am not actually doing an extra fund-raiser. This is the third November quickie I’ve done. I just have unfortunately this extra reason for doing so.
I would like to contribute to you when I have a situation, my friend, I wish you good luck
Bob, I had a few pennies remaining in a checking account so I decided to test a transfer method to see if it didn’t cost you anything. If cost free, I’ll send more when I receive my monthly SSA stipend.
Mr. Zimmerman:
Please keep this confidential.
I am an American lawyer living with my husband and three teenage children in northern Patagonia in Chile (nowhere near the Atacama desert). I run a private foundation. I have been listening to you for years on the John Batchelor show. Our foundation can only contribute to IRC 501c3 organizations. I was hoping you could connect me with science and technology groups you are familiar with doing fine work like SEDS. I am not a science and space person but my husband and children are. Also, on a personal note could you connect me with any good online science and technology programs. My children are into computer programming and are near exhausting the resources of Khan Academy. They are crazy about anything space related.
Finally do you know of young people who would like a friend in Chile. All my children are fluent in both English and Spanish. We are Americans. Thank you.
Hope it makes a difference. Voices like yours need to be supported. Will double my monthly contribution – which is not great – but on which you can count.
Bob, you do great work. Increased my monthly commitment. Want to make sure voices like yours can still contribute to the general public understanding as events unfold.
Woody Sprott: Thank you for your long time generous support. I must also thank everyone else for donating.
