My February birthday fund-raising campaign for this website, Behind the Black, is now over. Despite a relatively weak initial three weeks, the last week was spectacular, making this campaign the second best ever.

 

Thanks to every person who donated or subscribed. It continues to astonish me that people who can read my work for free like it enough to donate money voluntarily. Words cannot express my appreciation for that support, especially in these uncertain times.

 

If you have been a regular reader and a fan of my work and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider doing so. I take no ads, I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands (most of the time). Thus, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. 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.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Compliation video of violent leftist protesters at Minnesota Trump rally

The video, embedded below the fold, breaks my own rules regarding obscenities, but I think it is necessary for every American to view it. I think it is even more important that ordinary Democratic voters view it. The party these decent people support has nothing to do with the party of John Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. It has instead become a fascist violent machine, aimed at destroying any opposition. And we know this because Democratic politicians have not only not condemned this ugly violence, but some have even endorsed it.

I obtained the video from an article by John Hinderaker at Powerline, which he titled, quite bluntly, “How Evil Is the Left? This Evil.” He notes an additional reason to distribute this video as widely as possible.

Some of the victims of the liberals’ violence are interested in suing the parties responsible, potentially including organizers of the violence and public officials who may have been implicated. If you recognize any of the criminals shown in the video, please send information to powerlinefeedback@gmail.com.

Any help my readers can provide in this effort would be an important step in re-establishing the rule of law and free speech in the United States.


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 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

    It’s remarkable just how much hatred and energy this mob managed to throw at their neighbors and fellow Minnesotans. I live just outside of the Twin Cities and am downright ashamed that this was even allowed to happen. In one clip, a man was walking with a woman just trying to leave the rally, when suddenly she is sucker punched and taunted relentlessly. Totally agree with the creator of the video. This is disgusting and if anyone recognizes any of these thugs they should immediately contact the police (doubtful that any action would be taken given the current political mindset in Minneapolis).

    The restraint by the Trump supporters is what makes America great.

    The left is using tactics out of the Ayers-Obama playbook.

    Absolutely disgusting!

    The world needs to see because this is what other nations are or will face if they stand up to the leftists.

    Phill O – I couldn’t agree more. The restraint shown by Trump supporters stands in stark contrast to these so called protestestors. I couldn’t image leaving a rally with my wife, walk to the car, and witness my wife being sucker punched in the face by some jack booted thug calling us “Nazis”. This is America and I’m no Nazzi. I don’t support everything Trump does or says but he’s doing what needs to be done to keep the USA from becoming a backwater like Venesuela. The hate from the left (simply because they’re left and he represents the right) is unbelievably sad.

  • commodude

    The lefts tactics are those of the brownshirts, yet they call others Nazis?

    Projection is the mental illness of the radical left.

  • wodun

    Restraint wont last forever and it is long past time for our media to cover this stuff. The media doesn’t cover it and passive consumers of media don’t know what is going on. Many Democrats don’t even know what is going on.

    The organized violence against non-Democrats is something we haven’t seen in a while but it isn’t exactly new. How these Democrats act isn’t new either. Every one of their protests are like this, and this is why the media only interviews spokespeople and keeps the shots that show the crowd rather than live reporting from inside the crowds and giving us clear audio of what is said and clear video of their signs.

    People knock Trump for his pugilistic style but he is far far more civil than the Democrats have ever been.

    The Left is actively working to replace law and order with a political police state.

    I’m 93 years old. So these millennials are what my generation and the next couple of generations worked to build this country for? BS

    Kevin R. “The Left is actively working to replace law and order with a political police state.”

    Absolutely. They get people thinking they will be part of the ruling party, but the end is what Stalin termed “Useful Idiots”

  • Edward_2

    “F” the Left.

  • Edward_2: This comment essentially breaks my obscenity rules. You are clearly referring to a four letter word, and are using it to attack others (the same way they attack us).

    I do not want such childishness on Behind the Black. And you have been around long enough to know this. You are suspended for a week. You will be welcome to comment afterward, but people must understand that I am very serious about these rules. The left is behaving in quite offensive, childish, and evil ways, but that doesn’t give us justification for copying them.

  • Edward_2:

    I have ended your one week suspension on Behind the Black. You are welcome to comment again, as long as you keep it clean.
