Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. There are five 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it 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.


Backgrounder on June 23 UK vote on EU membership

Link here. The videos at the link are especially informative.

Polls have recently shifted strongly in favor of leaving the union, but that is not a certain result. If it happens, however, I will consider that decision by the public to be another example of a growing revolt by the general public against the intellectual elites who presently rule western society, since most of these elites appear to favor keeping the United Kingdom in the European Union.

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

    My position is that from the start the blending of all of these unique cultures was wishful thinking, so if I were a Brit I would be for leaving. Cut out the cancer before it kills you.

    My second point is that you assume that what ever voting that is done by the public is pure and not manipulated to a predetermined result. “Oh it was a close one, but the status quo prevails again!”

    I have the same concern about our coming election.

    A British commentator takes David Cameron to the wood shed and destroys his insistence that Islam is the religion of peace, while there is substantial real world evidence to the contrary.

    The elite leadership in the world has become Sooo perverted and their abuse of power is sooo complete that they without hesitation attempt to force their, dangerous, perverted counter intuitive interpretation of reality on everyone for their political agenda. These are the actions of the delusional and the tyrannical. They represent the height of disrespect to the people for whom they WORK!

    Paul Joseph Watson gives a good summary of this as well on his you tube page. It’s about 20 minutes long but it is succinct.

    One of his points is that even if the vote leave side wins the referendum, the results will be ignored by the commission in Brussels or they will hold another referendum until they get the result they want.

    That should have said “could be ignored” rather than “will be ignored”.

    Tim, I poached your video post and created an email that can be shared:

    If you reject ignorance and want to understand what is going on right in front of your eyes then make time and watch this video. Although it is about the Euro zone, this is the model that is right now underway right in front of your eyes and threatens your freedom and America as you know it.

    https://youtu.be/rNJ05NfM-4Y

    This is how through the TPP America will be controlled and how your wealth will be redistributed without your consent by the ever growing need to support the invaders through the welfare system. The government can not have enough of your money.. This is how America, like the country’s in the Euro zone, will surrender its sovereignty and by extension, its CONSTITUTION. Understand what your politicians in Washington have going on and underway right now, right in front of your eyes.

    Hillary goes right along with this, choose someone else. That is if in fact your vote actually still makes any difference.
