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.


January 4, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast

Embedded below the fold. I began to talk very fast near the end, not because I am a New Yorker but because I feared we would soon be cut off. Listen and find out why.

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

    Society is fragile ecosystem: Free Speech, Immigration, Islam – Douglas Murray in Stockholm 2016

  • Alex: As you know, I post regularly on the subject of free speech, focused very precisely on its fragile nature and on the increasing attacks against it in our society.

    I am unsure what you mean by “make entry.” Can you clarify?

    Mr. Zimmerman, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your brilliance on Coast to Coast AM this morning. I always thoroughly enjoy your conversations, expertise and willingness to question questions. Just thought you should know, you sir are very much appreciated……

  • Jake Cummings: Thank you for the kind words. I very much appreciate them. Though I must tell you, it would be better if you send them to George Noory and the people at C2C so as to encourage them to have me on more often. :)

  • Jake Cummings

    I will be sure to do so. Thank you again.

  • Just listened this morning on c2c, thank you for an enlightening talk. So optimistic and refreshing…. I have marked this page and will return

    Mr. Zimmerman:

    Just simple: Entry=Example (here as a youtube link)

  • Robert, I heard you for the first time on C2C last night and truly appreciated how you boiled-down complex subjects concisely and with clarity. Keep up the good work, your efforts are making a positive difference in our world ?

    Great subject Sir, and the Earth Mag field update is cool!
    Our poor Sol gets so little attention outside of SPF 50 at the beach.
    I enjoy your website and support you as I am able. Thank you again for your work.

    So, when do I turn my compass back ? It has been a faithful friend for so long.
