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.


“If they are white kill ‘em all.”

Feel the leftwing love: The student who organized a demonstration last month where people were encouraged to stomp on the American flag has written a 4,700-word essay in which he enthusiastically calls for the murder of all whites.

Quoting former Nation of Islam leader and New Black Panther Party chairman, Kallid Abdul Muhammad, Sheppard wrote of whites, “we give them 24 hours to get out of town by sundown.”

“I say, if they don’t get out of town, we kill the white men, we kill the white women, we kill the white children, we kill the white babies, we kill the blind whites, we kill the crippled whites, we kill the crazy whites, we kill the faggots, we kill the lesbians, I say god dammit we kill ’em all,” Sheppard continued. “If they are white kill ‘em all.”

Some might say that this guy is merely a fanatic and that I am wrong to associate him with the left. I would simply note that his racist opinions come right out of the gender and ethnic politics the left has been pushing for the past two decades. If he isn’t leftwing, he is at least a child of that movement.

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

    Singling out the “faggots” and the “Lesbians” he just may have gone too far, they may take care of him and his hateful speech themselves.

    “we kill the faggots, we kill the lesbians, I say god dammit we kill ’em all,” Sheppard continued.”

    I suppose after they kill all of the whites they will be free to live in the fashion that the people of the world “should” live. You know, in gangs / tribes, hacking each other to pieces like Boko haram. Then they can re institute slavery as it is practiced today, as it has been practiced for thousands of years in “the old country” where things are so “right”. Ah how much better the world will be when they accomplish their goal.

    That was sarcasm Edward.

    I can’t wait for the torrent of condemnation that will issue forth from the White House, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Melissa Harris Perry on MSNBC on this violent and incendiary 4700 word fest .

  • The Left loves pitting people against people as a way to gain and retain power. That’s worked for them in the past, but they are getting closer and closer to the edge and at some point in the not too distance future, we may have a race war on our hands. They’re playing with fire and in the end they might get more than they bargained for. If a race war does breakout, Conservative America is well armed and capable of fighting back while Left wing America depends on the police for their protection. I suspect the police won’t be too willing to come to the aid of the very people and are doing their best to make them look like the criminals.

    Robert, you’re a fine space historian but your politics are primitive. Think of a couple of countries whose politics are predominantly left. How about Cuba and Russia? The population of Cuba is 65% white, that of Russia 80%. If the left is on a campaign to kill whites, they’re doing a lousy job of it.

  • I did not say “the left is on a campaign to kill whites.” That is a silly misinterpretation of what I wrote, and completely misconstrues my point, and puts foolish words in my mouth.

    What I said was the racial and ethnic policies of the left, here in the U.S., have for decades fostered distrust and hate between different ethnic and racial groups, and it is that distrust and hate that energized this particular hate-monger. That is a far more thoughtful point than your interpretation, and to my eye appears to be a very accurate description of the roots of this guy’s hate.

    Al makes the point here, these race issues are driven by the need for conflict and disruption, its pure Marxist / Alinski strategy and it is driven right from the front of this bus, the president of the United States.

    Is there racism in America? Of course there is, everyone is racist to varying degrees, but it is much worse under this president by design. In the long run IMO he will serve a useful purpose and after his purposeful chaos there will be order.

    These 4700 words of hate, anger and violence are a symptom of the distillation of the 50 years of liberal government dependency that has been fashioned and the result is modern slavery. Who wouldn’t resent and be angry about slavery of any kind? The problem is that the people who are angry have grown up immersed in a artificial reality of the Liberal social manipulators.

    Primitive? Mr. Zimmermans comments here are on the money and you drawing an analogy between America and its racial problems and China and Russia is inappropriate, the lefts goal is sustained black governmental dependency not the killing of the white man.
