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


Celebrating the death of the mainstream media

The rage builds.

[M]embers of the mainstream media are presumptively hacks, and the pain and misery they endure as their organizations convulse and die should inspire laughter and joy. Sure, there are honest reporters out there, but that’s only a fluke of statistics. There have to be some, if only because of the random vagaries of chance. They can get real jobs with the new media. But in general, MSM members’ pain is our gain.

Remember, they hate us. Hate us. They don’t merely not care about us. They don’t simply misunderstand us. They hate what we think. They hate how we live. They hate what we believe. They hate us.

And it shouldn’t come as a shock if we hate them right back. We normals have already started an unofficial, uncoordinated boycott of the mainstream media.

Read it all, and remind yourself that ABC News considers it perfectly acceptable for their lead anchor to contribute big bucks to the Democratic Party. This is also the same network that is working hand-in-glove with the communist dictatorship in Cuba to spread their propaganda.

Readers!

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows 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.

 

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

    In addition the political tool ABC values him so much they are willing to pay him ……get ready…….$105 million dollars over 7 years!

    With all of the 180 degree counter intuitive things that our government is involved in, most all are against or are challenging how the Constitution is interpreted and certainly against the interests of the American people specifically, the blatant and out right lying by most every major politician and media personality, how close are we to total collapse or being able to redeem ourselves?

    I hear about things like, the Chinese attempting to structure their version of a world reserve currency, the Chinese growing their own islands for military purposes in the South China Sea, the Chinese demanding that Americans be disarmed, an American military exercize named Jade Hem, Jade a term referring to China, Helm meaning to be in control? (or is it our own military screwing with the rightfully paranoid in our own country?) But our own military are having a massive military control over civilian training operation within America this summer,

    http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2012/12/18/china-demands-us-citizens-be-disarmed/

    The Russians militarily building up and taking over in Ukrain, Yeah, we sure are “resetting” with the Russians, ISIS taking over in Iraq, Iran essentially being given nuclear weapons by our own radical president and his equally radical Secretary Of State Kerry, the Saudi’s now acquiring nukes as a result, the out right lying by our government about our own economy and our employment / unemployment numbers, racial unrest pumped by our own president, unrealistic valuations on Wall Street due to the free big money atmosphere created by the FED, the extremely high cost of education and the massive debt it is creating (one of my customers is in an acccelerated medical program in nursing, to this date his bill is $250K and he has two more semesters to go, his bill will be about $300K!), I can go on and on and on, my point?

    We seem to all be watching as our country is driven into a state of fear and is subverted and deconstructed in preparation for what? A Chinese take over and pay off ? The now rumored and famous One World Government? (you can not have a OWG if America / Americans with all of their smelly rights and their guns are allowed to continue to spoil everything).

    What the hell does all of this indicate for America and its people and the world in general if this is allowed to remain the direction that we are to go? There will be change, but into what?

    I strongly suspect that this coming election is thee election that will give the answer.

    Our disappointment with the media is justified – they have degenerated into the propaganda ministry of the tyranny of the left. We have to be careful how we counter this. The free press is an essential element of our form of democracy. We would not exist had it not been for Poor Richard et al spreading the ideals that led to the revolution of ’76. We need a free press so its important to consider whatever we do to counter the existing cabal doesn’t destroy the press itself. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak. Our goal has to be to speak out until there is balance in reporting. It’s up to US to clean up this mess, not destroy it in the process.

    PS: Get well soon Bob. It must have been a mind bending experience to suffer a serious injury deep in the cave. Returning to the surface required lots of mental fortitude – your own Apollo 13 moment I would say.

    OR, am I being paranoid, over emotional, unrealistic and a bit of a Chicken Little? Is the sky really falling?
