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.


Houston restaurant chain faces leftist boycott

They’re coming for you next: A Houston restaurant chain has been forced to shut down its social media webpages because of leftist demands on those pages for a boycott.

And why is the fascist left calling for a boycott? The chain had showed a picture of them serving Attorney General Jeff Sessions at one of their restaurants, and this is unacceptable. At first the owner of the chain had released a statement saying that the picture was not an endorsement of the Trump administration, noting that the photo “does not represent us supporting (Sessions’) positions.”

This obviously wasn’t good enough for the fascist left. How dare this restaurant dare provide dinner to a Republican!?

Also notice the hypocrisy of the left. They want to force Christians to endorse homosexual weddings, but also force restaurants not to serve Republicans. Both reveal the tyrannical nature.of the left: They aren’t for equal rights, but an imposition of their agenda and the oppression of anyone who opposes them.

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

    In this case, take a cue from Nancy Reagan
    Just say no – ignore and move on
    Then watch the histrionics!
    Sadly – they must resort to violence before they can be effectively dealt with.
    and I mean REAL violence

  • Concur with hondo. People who seek attention fear indifference more than anything else. I am under no obligation to listen to you. A bit curious why the business didn’t just remove the material.

    Somewhat OT, but I had to bail on the link. When I want to read something, I don’t want to wait for video to load.

    This is a deliberate strategy. You can call it Anywhere, anyplace, punch a NAZI in the face.

    It is the only way to convince people that everyone supports the Democrats, because if you don’t…

    Its like when they used to clad themselves in white and ride their trusty steeds around the countryside at night burning crosses and hanging people from trees.

    A MUCH MORE PEACEFUL WORLD WITHOUT LEFTISTS

    Mayor Deblasio says: “if NewsCorp entities like Fox News and the New York Post didn’t exist, there would be less racial hatred and division — and Donald Trump wouldn’t be president.”

    https://hotair.com/archives/2018/08/09/de-blasio-disses-fox-news-murdoch-dividing-americans/

    And by the same logic, if Leftists did not exist the world would be a much more peaceful and less violent and hate filled place.

    Over the weekend there was a “White Power’ demonstration in the South, 30 “White Supremacists” showed up, and many, many hundreds of ANTIFA radicals showed up with weapons like frozen bottles of water loaded in grocery carts. I assume to be thrown to injure and maim people and then have the evidence melt, very diabolically Holmesian.

    So 30 “White Supremacists” show up to show their solidarity and hundreds of their opposition show up. You tell me, is white supremacy really that committed and prevalent in America or are there many more violent Leftist radicals in America? I think we know the answer to this question.

    The Leftist media, the MSM, Liberals and Leftists most all, promotes leftist violence and ANTIFA and ANTIFA like organizations, who appear to be organized and paid “Community Organizer” protesters (Who’s paying them?). And law enforcement leadership directed by local Liberal government leaders like the self admitted Leftist Deblasio do the same, promote violence to further their cause.

    They are on the verge of being considered domestic terrorists IMO. I assume that is what they are aspiring to in order to further justify and fulfill their by necessity violent “Revolution”.

    In the end there are still much more of us then any combination of them.
