Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the 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. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
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

Based on the Joe the Plumber case, I have no problems predicting with 100% confidence that at least once confidential medical information of a conservative or Republican who has somehow entered the public arena will be used against him. This is because a child that is not disciplined will do as his will says, and liberals rarely get spanked by the media. If Joe the Plumber had been a Democrat, we’d still be hearing about the leaking of his information, ala “Plamegate”.
Q: Does our Constitution exist as long as, or until some group who “knows best” comes along and decides that for the “greater good” your rights and the foundation of our civilization must change?
Let me elaborate:
Q: Should the second amendment be stricken from the Constitution because firearms and the right to own and keep them make a police officers job more dangerous? For the greater good of course
A: No, your right to own and keep firearms for the protection of you and your family is a basic right, identified by the framers, without concern for whether government might not in the long run like it. As a matter of fact they understood the nature of government and that nature is that its much more convienient to have a population that is not armed.
The founders understood the nature of man.
What is the nature of man that they understood?
THE NATURE OF MAN IS TO ABUSE POWER, this is a general absolute statement, and there are few absolute statements.
So in answer to my first question:
No, it is never acceptable to trade rights, even for the greater good (if there is such a thing as a greater good in this context).
This current administration desires to “own” the people and do what is “best” (in their opinion) for the greater good, I think the greater
good is best served when the people understand where their Constitution comes from and how and why it came into being and choose to
reconnect with its intent.
Benjamin Franklin wrote: Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor
Safety.
Pay attention to Ben, he knew what he was talking about.
I find it ironic that Senator Charles Schumer has begun a crusade to prevent Onstar, the GM in-car communications system, from compiling and possibly selling data about its users. That pales in comparison to the massive data collection about to begin by the federal government on the private medical records of citizens. Where are you on this, Senator Schumer? And will you permit your own health records to be compiled by the government? How about President Clinton’s, which have never been released? Ditto President Obama’s? As you have said, Bob, repeal the damn bill!
Wow – you think the ‘thought police’ policy of the right won’t get a sample of your dna and profile your habits.
oh my.. i’m an atheist.. this site is stale..
@Publius 2
as an engineer – we are connecting everything together. Total transparency is the result – deal.
@The Emigrant – man you need to get out more. it’s not them vs. us. Or maybe it is from your perspective. there’s alot more views then liberal, gop and so on.
@Publus 2 if the republicans had the friggin guts to have input to the health care bill, but they are have no balls. zombies. Don’t worry – with more transparency. I don’t have a clue what will happen. We can watch the congress – living in there own reality and having GREAT benfits for life – it’s easy to play with talk when you have no fucking pain. Grow a friggin pair and look at where the $ goes to! It’s not republican vs. democrates – that is a shame. Watch the $, they want you to get emotional with the game. Hell people get paid to post and keep the emotions logic of the brain working.
@Zimmerman – man what’s your beef. sometimes you are on and other times you are in lala land. Just my perpsective.
Go space – maybe we can find enough planets to test all these various great society people are so sure are the answers.
Keep surfing the chaos.
