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.


Florida has decided to continue to purge its election rolls of illegal and ineligible voters, in defiance of the Obama administration’s demand that it stop.

The state is enforcing the law, as written on the books. Yet Eric Holder’s Justice Department somehow thinks that this is illegal. Maybe someone should teach Holder and his attorneys how to read.

In related news, Holder’s Justice Department is suing a Las Vegas casino because the casino followed the law in verifying that all its employees were legal residents of 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 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

    You don’t have a nation if you don’t have borders.

    This administration doesn’t want borders for some reason.
    I guess they think that if they give all of Mexico citizenship in the US then they will all vote for them forever.
    I guess they gave up on the other minorities voting for them forever.

    Just remind the Latino population that it is the liberal left that wants all their daughters to have abortions and they want to strip them of their catholic religion also.
    All they have to realize is they the left wants the Latinos to be just like the blacks of the last forty years, but just for the next forty years. Wards of the state and always waiting for the next handout. Always told some one is holding them back and the left is the group to lift them up. Well the the last forty years how high have they lifted them?
    The African American population has been handed just enough to keep them happy while the whole time they have been treated by the left like ignorant children. Kept in virtual enslavement to the state “for their own good”.
    Remember that Planned Parenthood was started by a white left wing racist who pushed racial purity like a KKK grand dragon.

    On one hand, like in elections, the federal government leaves it to the states to vet and regulate candidates for office(obama) but in this case they want to be the ones calling the shots despite what the states say.
    They can’t have it both ways and stay legal.
    This is a states rights issue

    His skin color is of no significance; Eric Holder should be impeached by Congress immediately, investigated for deliberately defying the U.S. Constitution, FEC statutes and state voting laws, and for his misue of the power entrusted in the Office of Attorney General of the United States of America.

    Your right in that their skin color is of no importance.
    But race his been their whipping boy, fall back talking point for forty years or more. It has been the center point of every policy they have passed. Even if they have not articulated it verbally.

    Every voter ID and police ID law they have challenged has been because of race. They claim those laws stop the poor and homeless(blacks) from voting. (even though a state ID is free and does not require anything more than a birth certificate).

    Now they are trying to pull the very same stunt but this time with Hispanics.

    And Holder will NEVER be investigated. He will more than likely get a pardon or some such from the President just before they leave office.
    And even if he is charged by the next administration his fallback defense will be ignorance. Oops I thought I was doing it legally. Why didn’t someone tell me? Plus they will string it out until hes a geriatric.
