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.


BLM demands removal of police float from gay parade

Bigots: Black Lives Matter is demanding the removal of a police float during a homosexual pride march in Vancouver.

BLM are making this demand for one reason: They are bigots, and to their bigoted view of life, all cops must be racists, even those who, with good will, want to get together to build a float and want to march in a gay pride parade.

I should add that in general, I find gay pride parades bigoted in their own way, as they also celebrate group rights rather than individual rights. All you have to do to understand what I mean is to imagine this being a White Pride or a Heterosexual Pride march, and you will immediately see what I mean. Such marches would be considered quite offensive. Yet, they really are no different than a gay pride march.

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

    Why is it that when you hear president Obama speak on violence or police shootings you are left intuitively feeling that he has really only justified the shooting of white police officers and incredibly offers encouragement to militant organizations? (He and his Attorney General, the head of law enforcement) He attempts to ride a line between the words he uses and their meaning in order to appear presidential and even handed. You would think that the president of the Untied States Of America would speak for all of the people of America, that he would be able to rise above his self identified societal group.

    https://youtu.be/IKwlSvOUZh8 Attorney General Lynch sends her message of support to Black Lives Matter.

    But he does not, he can not, he says the “appropriate” words and try’s to make them sound as though he has the backs of law enforcement, but you know, not so deep down he means something other than the words that are coming out of his mouth. The results of his continued subtle incitement is in my opinion giving these mentally disturbed people permission, encouragement and justification to proceed with their murderous plans. I hold him accountable, but then at some level I forgive him because the perverted and disrespectful culture is the culture that he has grown up in and is what he believes in. But that only goes so far, and then I am forced to see him as he is and what he is, a perfectly positioned clandestine un American operative and provocateur and an enemy of all of the people of America.

    The Only Black Lives Matter group is an example of why the answer to “kill baby Hitler” is always “no.”

    These people demanded dead police officers, and that is what they got.

    The Only Black Lives Matter group has become exactly what they claim the police to be. Except worse, because no police officers ever called for the deaths of innocent people, but the Only Black Lives Matter group does.

    The evil, bigoted, hateful group says, “Having the institution [police] participate on a float in the organized festivities of the actual parade is inappropriate and insulting to those who came before us to make Pride celebrations possible, some of who even died for the cause.” Even after getting its demand fulfilled, the Only Black Lives Matter group has no remorse for its call for dead police — who died for the cause of public safety because of those calls for their deaths — only continued hatred.

    Hopefully, the parade organizers will reject the hatred coming from Only Black Lives Matter.

    Black Lives Matter. More than others…
    The left’s unholy marriage between gay rights and Islamist’s rights, don’t work together. Either all gays are holocausted, like in all arape countries in the world and in the history. Or all arapes are holocausted. Finally! Pick your choice, those are the only two possible futures. Either all the murderer’s are executed for their hate crimes, or all their victims, including YOU and all members of your family, by the government are passively allowed to be murdered in torture by the terror of muslim stone age tyrants.
    How easy a choice isn’t that to make!
