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


A “gallery of snitches, busybodies, and employees who rat out their own neighbors and employers.”

Good: The names and addresses of 900 snitches, who reported “social-distancing violations” in Missouri on neighbors, friends, fellow employees, and their employers, have been revealed publicly, as required by the state’s Sunshine Law.

The quote in the headline was said by the man who requested the information and then posted it online for all to see.

It appears these tipsters thought they make these accusations anonymously, without any consequences. Hah! Think again. Our culture and law requires that the accused can see their accuser, or as the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights states, “be confronted with the witnesses against him.”

Now they “fear backlash” from those they snitched against. Too bad. In fact, I applaud the guy who requested this information and posted it online.

During this entire Wuhan flu panic, there has been a lot of social pressure imposed on those that dare disagree with accepted wisdom that COVID-19 is going to kill us all and that we must take extreme measures against it, no matter what the cost. It has also been expected that one must be polite in expressing any disagreement, tiptoeing on egg shells in case you might offend them, or be accused of wanting to kill people.

Enough. It is time to stare this petty dictators in the face and tell them that they were wrong, and have caused untold harm to many. And if possible, make them feel a some pain as well for their bad behavior.

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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    How does that old saying go? “snitches end up with stitches?”
    sounds good to me.

  • Phil

    Pretty close, snitches get stitches or wind up in the ditches lol

    From the article: “The gallery of snitches, busybodies, and employees who rat out their own neighbors and employers over the Panic-demic.”

    “Panic-Demic.” What a wonderful description of what our leadership has done to us. The panic is so much worse than the disease itself, and the ratting out of neighbors and employers shows a societal attitude similar to Europe before WWII, and that turned out poorly for all. Obey, don’t question, leader knows best, don’t be individual or independent.

    In my 83 years I never thought that I would see the American people fold their tents and accept martial law like they have done.
    I am referred to as a crazy old man for my resistance to this Scamdemic and the scariest part of it all is that the DemComms have finally found a weapon to bludgeon the populace with.
    Don’t think they won’t use it time and again.

    Good. Being a member of the Stasi should have repercussions.

    “Must be because I had the flu this Christmas,
    And I’m not feeling up to par.
    It increases my paranoia,
    Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car.

    But I’m not, I’m not giving in an inch to fear,
    ‘Cause I’ve promised myself again this year,
    I feel oh, like I owe it, to someone….”

    in this life, some get what they want while most get what they deserve.

    the people on the list released are dangerous to all. they have shown their willingness to be an uncompensated agent of the state against their neighbors. i would NEVER FORGET should any of my neighbors be on such a list and treat them accordingly.

    may those on the list get what they deserve.

    What a dictatorial government loves, someone who will not question authority but accepted it per verbatim. The freedom of thought should be a cherish object and not be traded away so lightly, otherwise you are on a fool’s errand. Around and around the primrose path we go and where It ends up nobody knows?

    George Orwells 1984 is not of a time, but and ideal.

  • pzatchok

    We should find a way to do this in California and New York.

    If they will snitch on you for one thing they will do it for anything.

  • Barbarossa

    It is easier to do as told than tire oneself out with ‘critical thinking’…

    “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm but the harm they do does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they do see it but attempt to justify it as they are so absorbed in their endless struggle to think well of themselves.” –T. S. Eliot
