Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, 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

A list of politicians boycotting Netanyahu

Link here. The list is incomplete, as it doesn’t include Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts). Nonetheless, it is instructive to note which party every single one of these politicians belongs to. I think you can guess.

But they support Israel! They said so!

In related news, it is now reported that President Obama has cut off providing Israel its intelligence information about Iran’s nuclear program.

But Obama supports Israel! He said so!

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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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 can never understand the thinking of empowering your sworn enemy. Iran is both Americas and Israel’s sworn enemy by their own well stated admission. You can justify from their point of view why that is the way it is by citing different manipulations by the powers that be in the world over the years but still when you boil it down Iran’s stated intent by their own words is to vaporize Israel when they have the opportunity.

    The president and his fellow liberals, Jews included, in their moral litteralist thinking believe that America does not have the right to dominate a sovereign country by not allowing them to gain those weapons by which they intend to carry out their well stated intent.

    This kind of thinking when introduced to the power that enables it to actually exist in the real world becomes an existential threat to everyone. And the president is in the process of finalizing some kind of agreement that will accomplish for the Iranians what they would not be able to accomplish without the help of the highest powers.

    These kind of people when in office become a near guarantee that their will be a much higher level of conflict and possibly a third world war.

    When you are willing to give your power advantage away to your enemy that is either called being naive or it is called treason. Choose one.

    And this woman thinks that its an insult to the intelligence of America that BiBi spoke to Congress.

    I can not think a of a more insulting to the American intelligence person than this woman. This ding bat is the third or forth person in line in our government, that, besides being genuinely terrifying, is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. That is what we should all fear.
