Conscious Choice cover

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.

 
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.  
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.

 

“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

A U.S. college professor demands that skeptics of global warming be imprisoned.

But hey, they’re the tolerant ones, the ones who believe in free speech and consider “dissent the highest form of patriotism.” That is, they believe these things as long as you agree with them. Should you disagree, even slightly, then off with your head!

    And when you follow the link parade to the offending article, you find comment after comment deleted by the moderators. It looks especially bad because the comments were replaced by the text, “Comment removed by moderator.”

    If we are going to put people in jail for misinformation let’s start with the alarmists that cherry-pick climate data to fit the narrative and politicians that lied about fast & furious, obamacare, IRS scandal and Benghazi.

    BIGJOE, those are non issues. They are things that the Republicans have cherry picked just to use as political weapons against the president because he is black.

    Yes people in the employ of the government have died unnecessarily through incompetence and very bad planning. The person who was in charge response? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? And yes, Conservative organizations have been targeted by the FBI and the IRS because they represent a threat to the establishment powers (Democrat / Liberal / Marxist) that be, and yes more people have died because of a weapons trafficking scheme so ridiculous on its surface that you really have to wonder who and why it was actually hatched. And yes, the government has passed a law that relieves the people of responsibility of their own health care and forces them to purchase a product as a result of being born an American resulting in them being relieved of their rights.

    You must be a racist BIGJOE or even worse, you may be a person that actually understands what the intent and function of the Constitution is. You sound like you may be a dangerous man BIGJOE.

    Power is not about logic or morality, it is about power. And we all know what happens when individuals obtain too much power.
