Jordan and Israel agree on Dead Sea water project partnership
On February 26 Israel and Jordan signed an partnership agreement to build a pipeline to bring water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea as well as build a desalination plant in the Gulf of Aqaba.
Proves once again that it is all lies when the Palestinians and Islamic radicals claim that Israel’s existence causes the violence in the Middle East. Work with the Israelis, and your lives will improve. Hate them, and everyone’s lives gets worse. Apparently Jordan’s leadership understands this.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four 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 or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Good God, Bob, ….you’re looking to the Los Angeles Times for a balanced view of Missile Defense????? They’re quoting the NAS which views BMD and DoD in general as a direct competitor for Federal Money, …and that didn’t trip a switch of caution? They’re quoting people placed into the MDA by the Obama Administration, which was determined to gut BMD, yet again, to placate the Great Russia faction in the Kremlin, before they ever got into the WH, and that rang no bells for you?
They cut the multiple interceptor program even as the cost and processing ability of the electronics that paced the concept continued to improve, because by threatening Russia warheads competently it would threaten to undo the ability of the Great Russia faction to say Russia is still a “great power”, instead of an oil-based rentier State like Saudi Arabia. They were convinced that would have aborted their “reset button” strategy, …which aborted, in fact, when the Russians considered the ploy “unserious”.
The LA Times might not be a completely reliable source, but when it comes to the government wasting big gobs of money on projects that end up going nowhere (SLS comes to mind, but so do dozens of others over the past three decades), I will always tend to consider such stories more likely true than false.
Great story!
