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.


Liberals on twitter call for the murder of the Bundy family in Nevada by the federal government.

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

    They may have gotten their gun camera video if drones existed during Waco. Now that was an example of things getting out of control where innocent children were IMO murdered by government entities. I wonder where Janet Reno is spending her time these days, I suspect she has a heat rash problem.

    It’s an ill wind that blows no good…they way things are going, soon , very soon, one of these standoffs with the feds will result in blood. think waco or ruby ridge…

    Talked with a number of liberal acquaintances regarding the standoff. To them, there is no question that EVERYBODY should stand down to government authority. If not, they deserve what they get.

    I agree with Orion314, this will indeed result in bloodshed. Probably much quicker than any of us would have imagined just a few weeks ago.

    BTW, a thought occurred to me a few days ago. There can be little doubt that in today’s surveillance culture that the federal government knows the identify of every person that showed up to defend the Bundy ranch and cattle. What will happen to these people over the next few months and years? Will they become IRS targets? Will they experience mysterious health care or other federal benefit snafus? Or perhaps worse? That being said, the identity of everyone who has even made a blog posting or comment in support of the resistance is probably tracked and likely identified to a real person (or at least to a real person’s home or work). Are we all being identified, as Harry Reid would call us, as potential or actual “Domestic Terrorists”. Do we doubt there is a digital dossier on each one of us in the vast NSA domestic intelligence databases? I know this sounds paranoid, but one has to wonder…

    We better ultimately win this battle in the political sphere? If not, the alternative will be VERY ugly for anyone not in support of government authority and action.

    Liberals. For people who declare that they are peaceful, they certainly spend a lot of time, ink, and internet space preaching violence. Maybe they aren’t as peace loving as they proclaim.

    I suppose that would explain why the liberal French Revolution guillotined so many people.

  • Deplorable indeed, but the linked article doesn’t have the best sources,

    This one at least links directly to the tweets in question.

    Even better, read the replies to the original tweets.

    It’s enlightening to note that original posters are not the only ones behaving poorly. Commenters on both the right and the left made similar threats with one conservative stating his wish that the original poster ‘drop dead’.

    Jeez-let’s not give these psychopaths any more ideas, I can just see the TSA with guillotines in the airport check-in lines….
