Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, 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

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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


“Have you reached your breaking point yet?”

Our government in action! An American citizen has sued and won almost a half a million dollars from the federal government for subjecting her to a random strip search upon her return to the states from Mexico.

Read the article. Customs agents essentially raped her. Worse, the agents won’t pay the bill, it will be you, the taxpayer.

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

    I can certainly accept the reasons why the victim (an appropriate term) chose to settle, but settling lets the legislators and perpetrators off the hook. To the extent that the American people have allowed this to happen and continue to happen, citizens are culpable for damages, but surely the sheer depravity of what transpired should move people to, en masse, demand the relevant legislation be changed or, better yet, repealed. Taxpayers should seek reparation (and justice) by suing the government entities and the particular actors who are responsible.

    If only Al Pacino was real and took a flamethrower to these assholes.

    A little off topic but I just learned that, in pursuit of additional security, the Social Security Administration will not allow me to access my Social Security account online, after July, unless I own a text enabled cell phone. That’s so they can text me a code to complete logging on. No, I don’t own a cell phone, never will. ARRRRRGGGHHHH…

    I’m guessing hundreds of other Americans and non-Americans (perhaps it’s OK for the US government to sexually abuse foreigners in this way?) have been exposed to the same thing but signed the “consent form” to avoid facing the additional financial extortion.
