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

A typical worker in the campaign of socialist Bernie Sanders

Another Project Veritas undercover video series has begun, this time focused on the violent, hateful, and murderous beliefs of the workers in the Bernie Sanders campaign.

The first video in the series is embedded below. Lots of bad language, but I think it important that every decent American, from both parties, watch it. Kyle Jurek unfortunately is very typical for many in the inner circles of the Democratic Party. He hates anyone who disagrees with him, considers them evil incarnate, and is quite willing to put them all up against a wall and kill them. And he isn’t alone, for if he was, there would no way anyone with his goals would be a “field organizer” for the Sanders campaign.

If you are long time Democrat, it is time for you to face facts. The party you belong to has nothing to do with the party you joined. It is now a hate-rant, aimed at power achieved by any means necessary. Woe to us all if this crowd wins in November.

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

    Drugs are definitely involved with this dude!

    The beauty of either the Leftist Warren or a Bernie supporter is that they fractionate the Democrat party. These candidates alienate a third or so of the Democrat party, and where does that leave them? Neither is acceptable to reasonable Democrat Americans. result? Low turn out.

    And then you will be left with Bloomberg, who a third of the Democrat party is ideologically unable to vote for, they despise Billionaires and Capitalism.

    And notice who is left out of the conversation / equation entirely, Joe Biden. Not even a consideration in the conversations that I am having. I have to remind people that he is running. Biden will be “retiring” by March? May?

    And to add insult to injury, they are ALL old and white! Too funny.

    And there are violent crazies at the extremes of either party, zealots that talk in these extreme terms like putting people in Gulags, or reeducation camps, or even promoting shooting them or similar, BS talk by ignorant BS people. Good work project Veritas.

    Cotour:

    You talk a lot about conservatism. I assume you see yourself as a Conservative. This is strange because your kind of conservatism (like Mr. Z’s) is false, because it doesn’t conserve anything. For example, not even the marriage, only as binding of a man and a woman alone. It seems to me that you also tolerate sexualization of children by real existing society. That is not a conservative behavior.

    I consider both of you as liberal-progressive, with a penchant for the free market and individualism. That fits well to the fact that you characterize real Conservatives as extremists. You are by no means a Conservative.

    Let us mourn the death of a real conservative.

    He, like you was a man of another time.

    Questioner,
    You wrote to Cotour: “your kind of conservatism (like Mr. Z’s) is false, because it doesn’t conserve anything.

    Your ignorance is showing yet again. You just called the Sierra Club conservative.

    Sorry, Idaho . . .

    Not woe until us if they win in November, but instead woe be unto them! Why obey a Beria Bernie presidency? As a matter of fact, why obey any of the Democratic candidates if the win in November?

    Great find!

    Thanks wayne. This story is a little confusing because he was arrested in Iowa on Sept 28th, 2019 for “possession of a controlled substance,’ “unlawful possession of prescription drug,” and “possession of drug paraphernalia.”

    The January 8th, 2020 arrest, which I think was in Idaho but not sure, was for “violation of probation,” “failure to provide proof of financial liability,” indicating that police say he was unable to provide proof of insurance, “possession of drug paraphernalia,” and “operating while intoxicated – 2nd offense.”

    Either way, I think he will be out of circulation for a while.
