My February birthday fund-raising campaign for this website, Behind the Black, is now over. Despite a relatively weak initial three weeks, the last week was spectacular, making this campaign the second best ever.

 

Thanks to every person who donated or subscribed. It continues to astonish me that people who can read my work for free like it enough to donate money voluntarily. Words cannot express my appreciation for that support, especially in these uncertain times.

 

If you have been a regular reader and a fan of my work and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider doing so. I take no ads, I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands (most of the time). Thus, 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

NIH to discriminate against whites in awarding research grants

Federal government: dedicated to segregation!
NIH: dedicated to racial discrimination

“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has now created a program to award about $20 million in grant money exclusively to black researchers, thus favoring research not because of its merit but solely because of the skin color of the grantee.

The program will create a new class of NIH’s standard R01 research grant designed to “encourage a more diverse pool of PIs [principal investigators],” said Walter Koroshetz, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), at a recent meeting. NINDS is launching the program, aimed at new PIs and those whose labs are at risk of folding, together with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). In 2021, the three institutes partnered on a policy with similar aims that NIH later pulled because of concerns it would violate federal antidiscrimination laws.

The NIH attempted to create a similar bigoted grant program last year, but had to back off when critics pointed out its obvious illegality. Agency officials now claim this new program passes muster, because

…it aims to enhance diversity “in a very broad sense,” [NIH extramural chief Michael] Lauer says. An NIH spokesperson notes that although the program “encourages” applications from researchers in underrepresented groups, “it is not exclusive—all new investigators and at-risk investigators are eligible to apply.” (NIH defines “at-risk” as a PI who will have no NIH grants if their high-quality proposal isn’t funded.)

What a lie. We all know that the grant application will require each applicant to state their race, and the NIH will then automatically disqualify anyone who isn’t black. It will also conveniently never make public the actual racial breakdown of those who win grants from this program, in order to hide its bigotry.

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’d feel a lot healthier if I knew my tax money was going to the most qualified researchers working on the most vital problems. This isn’t funding somebodies paper as part of some tea fight over some obscure disagreement in the English Lit department, we’re talking peoples’ HEALTH!

    Its all related:

    HARD TO ARGUE WITH THE FACTS

    If in your political campaigning (D) you tell people that you will “Shut down the energy industry”, and then proceed to do so without any viable and rational replacement for it what would any rational person expect? DISASTER! Planned and knowable disaster.

    Please sir, may I have some more? NOT!

    And this is by no means by mistake, this economic disaster being fashioned by the incompetent from a pro American perspective Biden / extreme radical Leftist Democrat party machine was planned and executed on day one. This unfolding economic disaster was not for one second necessary, it is all created, it has a purpose in making everyone “Equal” (Equally poor) and under control in order to “Save” the earth. Two things that government, any government cannot accomplish even if it wanted to. You are being defrauded and lied to.

    You will be controlled, and you will do as and live as you are told by your betters. And that is just where the extreme radical Left goes with this kind of fabricated politically driven absolute power disaster. How can you not have a bigger authoritarian government when there is a massive economic and environmental disaster ongoing? Who will save us all?

    Never let a disaster go to waste.

    THE SECOND PANDEMIC?

    “We need more money. We don’t just need more money for vaccines for children, we need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There’s gonna be another pandemic,” said Biden.

    Out of the mouth of the mentally infirm. When does the president think this second pandemic might happen, or when might this be planned for? October? Maybe November?

    Before the Covid pandemic it was talked about, planned for and trained for, then it happened. Same for 911. Coincidence?

    In the long term and over time things happen and many happen with a plan and a purpose. Where do you think our country and the world is being driven? You tell me.

    Strategy Over Morality.

    This is not discrimination this is equalization.

    If it were equal then they wouldn’t be discriminating against anyone. It isn’t equalization but the exact opposite: dis-equalization. It is an unbalanced process.

    The worst part is that it supports and reinforces the Democratic Party line that certain people, strictly due to the color of their skin, are unable to successfully compete on a level playing field.
