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.

Do not go to the Obamacare website. It is worse than a Nigerian hoax email.

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 love how theirs a warning (in the source code) that no assumption of privacy can be made for the info entered into the site – then they demand everyone enters in enough info to make the database a identity thief’s wet dream, BEFORE they’ll let you see any info.

    “I stated my concern that, if I am enrolled, and don’t cancel it, that I might be committing fraud.”

    Holy Poop, Batman! Is it possible that this turd of a system could cause people to inadvertently become fraudsters? So, when the government looks for those who are defrauding the system, how do they respond to the thousands (millions?) that they find? People could end up with fines (I hope no jail time) and other penalties for doing nothing more than exploring the Healthcare.fail website because it was the mandatory thing to do.

    I sincerely hope that this fiasco of a law does not devolve into turning innocent, law abiding people into inadvertent misdemeanants and felons.

    It is bad enough that there are likely to be millions of scofflaws (not inadvertent), who willingly fail to sign up for the mandatory insurance. Since the young are likely to be the majority of scofflaws (what is it that we are now teaching our young adults?), how will such behavior affect their future prospects for employment, secret clearances, loans, etc..

    The more we learn what’s in it, the more we wish Pelosi et al. hadn’t passed it. Oh, that’s right, they didn’t pass it. Pelosi “deemed” it to have been passed, which is not the same thing.

    So if you don’t sign up, the feds will fine you for illegal non participation in the program. If you do, you’ll be prosecuted for fraud … or RICO prosecution since your part of a nation wide conspiracy.
