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

Pro-life students attacked with eggs at the University of Arizona

They’re coming for you next: Because they were manning a display advocating against abortion on the campus of the University of Arizona, several pro-life students found themselves attacked with eggs and their displays vandalized by numerous pro-abortion students.

You can see video and pictures of the violence and vandalism here, here, here, and here.

“A large group of students threw dozens of eggs at our signs, and three volunteers, including my 72-year-old father, were hit with eggs. We were informed by a College Republicans United member that the students got the eggs from the campus pantry,” Singleton told LifeNews.

One video shows dozens of smashed eggs on the ground around the display. Several pro-life advocates can be seen sheltering behind the display as sounds of more eggs being thrown are heard. Toward the end of the footage, a police officer escorts a female away from the scene.

This incident occurred on April 12, 2023. The next day a barrier was set up to protect the display and two cops were assigned to protect it.

If you watch the videos the most disturbing aspect is the utter glee of the students who were throwing the eggs, and the generally positive response of the crowd. These college students don’t believe in free speech. They believe instead in oppression, censorship, and tyranny. They have been taught it is right and proper to close their minds to other opinions, and it is also right and proper to take any action necessary to prevent those other opinions from being expressed. Egg throwing might seem petty, but it is simply the first step. When it fails to work these young tyrants — once they move into the workforce and find positions of power — will find it very easy to advocate and make possible even more violent action, up to and including imprisonment, death camps, and genocide for anyone daring to disagree with them.

Don’t believe me? The article at the link ends with a list of numerous violent attacks against pro-life activists, numbering in the hundreds, all just since 2022 alone. Almost none of the perpetrators of these violent crimes have been prosecuted or punished. Instead, they find themselves well supported financially as well as publicly for their actions.

This support is illustrated by the videos of this event. Only one egg-throwing student is escorted away by the police, but only after a long time has passed. The campus police clearly took their time taking action, and when they did they did as little as possible. Other egg-throwers who can clearly be identified are left untouched.

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

    Report on an 8-year-old-girl coming illegally to America who had been raped by at least 67 different men. The solution of American taxpayer funded NGOs’ who traffic human beings illegally into America is to provide condoms and abortion pills to the women and girls making the journey. There’s big money in human trafficking (slavery).

    (I was at a family get-together this weekend and there were a couple girls around age 8. Knowing this story I almost broke down into tears watching them play. This is the evil we are up against.)

    Bob, Call them what they are – FASCISTS

    In a civilized society this behavior gets punished appropriately or at least has a negative connotation within society. The progressive society is uncivilized and the mob will become more brazen.

    Our words are violence but their violence is not violence. Got it.

    I graduated from that institution 35 years ago, and used to support it and its activities. But after organizing the network for students to spy on and report one another and the hiring of Chomsky, I could not in good faith support it anymore. This is just the latest affront. The Board of Regents has failed to take any action to correct any of this. And anyone who is still a fan of that university and its teams and programs is implicitly endorsing and enabling all of this.

    With the price of eggs, Soros will go broke soon. But it isn’t the bomb throwers I worry about. With Don and Tucker gone, we are left with rip-and-read Kilmeade and all the other drones with perfect hair and teeth who play it safe. That’s more worriesome to someone who loves a good dust-up. Tim Robbins was right about that chill wind.

    And of course the criminals were not arrested or disturbed in any way because the campus police were undoubtedly directed to stand down.

    What are you going to do when they go from eggs to rocks to acid to bullets? When are the republican victims allowed to strike back and pummel their oppressors?

    The book “Field of Blood” is about the years leading up to the first American Civil War, and the Wigs (precursor to Republican party) were savaged by democrats, called dough-faced and puppy and rapscallion; these were words that landed you on the receiving end of participating in a gun duel. But the democrats were bullies in the 1850s as they are the bullies in 2023. Once the Wigs had enough, they started fighting back.

    America is on the EXACT same pattern of bullies and victims tiring of it. We are rapidly headed for a time where you throw and egg at someone they just might lob a full magazine back at you. In this climate of marxism vs the Civil Society, it’s really only a matter of time before modern pitchforks replace eggs, and you college-aged indoctrinated infants will be unable to cope with the world you will face from there.

    Now REVERSE the egg throwing and see how quickly FEDERAL HATE CRIMES are charged!!!

    I’m really surprised that the LEFT has not taken up ARMS against people expressing their FREEDOM of SPEECH!

    I’m the SW Regional Director for CBR. I was there that day because I was leading the event. It happened on April 12th, not 19th. I just wanted to clarify that.

  • Abra Singleton: Thank you for the correction. It is now fixed. I based the date on the report, but I probably misread it.

    Strand those intollerent Bolsheveks in the Amazon Jungle/Rain Forests with only the clothes on their backs lets see how they could survive
