Thank you to all my readers and supporters and a Happy New Year!
As a truly miserable 2021 comes to an end, I want to send a very big and hearty thank you to all my readers and the many people who support my work here. I could not do this daily if I did not know that others were interested in what I did.
I also wish that 2022 be a great year for everyone. May we all see joy and happiness in our personal lives, and a renewal of freedom and the pursuit of happiness for everyone else in the coming year. The two go together.
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

Happy New Year!
Happy new year to ya all!
I think things are looking up, actually. That the military tension in Eastern Europe is for the good. As is the recent developments in US domestic politics. And inflation will reverse central banks’ policies. And above all, literally, JWST will make history next year.
On a personal note, where I live the clouds are dense and go all the way to the ground as a thick fog. People are still using their fireworks to the effect of diffuse lights in the half transparent darkness. At least the noise is still there, and that’s what counts, right?
I have a bottle of cognac and a deck of card after having eaten great food that my neighbor cooked. God created me to drink cognac!
Happy New Year. May 2022 exceed all expectations.
May 2022 be the year that ordinary people stop selling themselves short, and take back decision-making authority over their lives … moving their nations away from social technocracy and towards rights-respecting/responsibility-expecting governance.
Happy New Year to the host and all readers, from up here in lockdown Quebec. Hard to see how 2020.2.0 will be better than 2020.1.0, but hope springs eternal…
A very happy new year to each and every reader here! ( And especially to our host! ) , I’m hardly confident that 2022 will improve on last year, but let’s all keep fingers crossed!!!
Have a safe and blessed New Year, one and all.
Happy New Year, Bob! And to all my fellow members of this Blog
Happy New Year Bob, thank you for all that you do. Hopefully in 2022 caving will continue to be a hobby and not an address!?
Col Beausabre-
I will second that thought.
I’ll third it. Happy New Year everyone!
Happiest of New Years to everyone!
Thank you for an informative and entertaining 2021 and here’s to an even better 2022! God bless you and your family, Bob!
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
– Minnie Louise Haskins
Happy New Year. This is the year that the people will remind the politicians.;
“that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Happy New Year, Bob. Congratulations on all of your fine reporting in 2021, especially on COVID and First Amendment issues. Best wishes for 2022!
Hip hip, Happy New Year to y’all.
May the Omicron sweep out the covid panic.
May the JWST unfurl successfully.
May the Starship/SH get to orbit (and back – I think the heatshield might be the biggest headache).
May the SLS have a successful launch and then the program be retired to a museum.
May The Woke go back to sleep (or better yet, really wake up).
May Putin and Ji decide Biden is too demented to risk messing with!
May Eric Adams develop a stiff enough backbone to follow up on his promises regarding crime in NYC
