Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

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:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. 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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


A new study has found that healthcare costs for small businesses have doubled since Obama became President.

A new study has found that healthcare costs for small businesses have doubled since Obama became President.

The study’s research period begins in 2009, before Obamacare went into effect, but even then I guarantee that the early cost increases were in anticipation of the law that was coming and that no one wanted. Since then, the law has only made things worse.

In a related story, AOL cuts employee benefits, citing Obamacare as the cause.

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 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

    If this and the steps made in the last 8 years were committed in 1970, there would be Lynchings and burning of cities. my father and grandfather would be tar and feathering these so-called politicians and the est of them would take the Hint and Get -Out-of -Town

    Rand Paul asks ” When will Obama start to care? ” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/02/07/rand-paul-obamacare-cbo

    He does care, about his ideology and the agenda that accompany’s it. Rand Paul is beginning to step out from the crowd and distinguish himself from the gathering field in the race to be the next president. His problem? Libertarianism as his guide star, Libertarianism is a philosophy to be referenced and is not a form of governance. Libetarianism is more associated with the ends of the political spectrum and each end of the spectrum is rife with chaos. Sane, compassionate and benevolent Conservatism is where any realistic politician will find success with the now predominant Independent voters.

    Want to be successful in the coming elections? Be a sane and reasonable person that plays respectful, no nonsense hard ball, communicates and connects to a philosophy and economic reality and not just an ideology. It really should not be too hard to do.

    Obviously the costs are being driven up by by republican gridlock…

    I believe this guy, Harry Dent, is on to what we need to be paying attention to and what will be driving the economy for the near future. Obamacare is certainly not what the doctor ordered IMO and will only exacerbate and compound the situation.
