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. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. 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


Ocasio-Cortez’s supporters dox and threaten little girl

They’re coming for you next: The family of a little girl who had been doing silly videos making fun of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) has shut down all of her social media accounts and will no longer allow her to do videos because they were doxed and they have been receiving death threats on their home phone.

Here is the family’s tweet:

MiniAOC tweet

Words fail me. I wonder what Ocasio-Cortez’s response will be for this disgusting behavior. I expect nothing, or if she does say something she will equivocate somehow, trying to put some of the blame on the little girl and her family.

It increasingly appears that the left and the Democrats (I repeat myself) are now willing to threaten little children for making silly fun of the politicians they support.

As I have said repeatedly, they’re coming for you next.

UPDATE: More details here, including one of the girl’s truly hilarious videos.

The support of my readers through the years has given 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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    If she is anything like Representative Wilson, then a response will not be favorable to American liberty.

  • Democrats have a history of using children as human shields. No surprise when the user discards the tool.

  • John

    I would say that threatening a funny little girl is pathetic, awful, shameful, reprehensible, infuriating…but there’s no reason to expect anything else from those people anymore.

    Whats really going on here and in the media in general?

    The Democrats and the Left leaning even Leftist media entities that back them MUST formulate an anti even un American narrative and keep it alive until the 2020 presidential election. They MUST talk down America and its formulation because Trump and the Republicans are effectively 180 degrees from their position. They MUST transmit to the young and the easily molded, confused and manipulated and weak minded that what has been taught about their country, their history, is a lie and the reality therefore is that America is just like any other country. A fraud in other words. Is that really how you understand your country to be?

    And in doing so they can sell the idea that Socialism is an actually viable governance model alternative in which they can benefit and become richer because the entire system is stacked against them and the wealthy 1% who own 99 percent of the world have enslaved them and this model, and the Conservatives who value it must be defeated and lose power and must be destroyed. And we all know through cold hard evidence that that is plainly not so and THAT is in fact the lie.

    Socialism is a lie and everything said about it is not true. What is the cost of Socialism? Your freedom, your private property, your wealth, your self determination, your sovereignty, your self respect. That is in fact the truth. And that is un American.

    My most recent evidence of this Democrat / Liberal / Leftist political power acquisition model at any cost and destroy America as formulated?

    1. Kappernick and the Nike Betsey Ross flag sneekers being pulled. This transmits to all who follow Kappernick and his message: “America was founded by a bunch of white racist slave owners”. Its actually a brilliant PR move for all concerned. What should happen? Nike finds in the mail all in one day every product that they ever produced delivered to them Via UPS and their business goes to ZERO because of their manipulations. I am desperately looking for something that I own with the Nike swish on it to ship back to them with an appropriate letter, but I have none.

    2. https://youtu.be/6mjef8NsNfU

    The New York Times has a video produced and an accompanying editorial transmitting this anti / un American message: “America, not so great, just OK”. This editorial and video are the absolute evidence that the NYT’s is all about everything NOT American and of course anti Trump and endeavors to empower the Left in our country in order to install all of their insane and counter intuitive policies, like: Open borders, no borders, “FREE” healthcare and housing and education for all ILLEGALS (Just make sure you as an American keep going to work and pay YOUR taxes to pay for it all. How stupid and desperate do the Democrats need everyone to be? Very, very stupid. Remember, when a politician says “Free” they mean that you and your children and grand children will be paying for everything. Why? Because the government has no money, all they have is the wealth that they are allowed to confiscate from the people. People just like YOU.), 3rd term and post birth abortions, slave reparations, gay reparations, “Progressive” law enforcement which means no law enforcement, its a long, stupid, dopey list.

    So on this Fourth Of July, 2019, the celebration of our country’s founding, this is where we all find ourselves, right in the middle political warfare of the first order, a battle royal for the foundation concepts of our great nation. Are you as an American going to allow these anti and even un American policies to move forward? Policies and ideas that will fundamentally alter the standing of America on the planet? I did not think so.

    I look forward to the battle of ideas and identifying the many manipulations that will be used in order to influence the weak minded in order to acquire or retain political power. Power at ANY cost.

    Happy Forth Of July, 2019.

    SWEET JUSTICE, LET IT POUR DOWN

    What do you get when you have the newest, freshman, Leftist oriented “Latina” Congress person in the United States Congress calling the Speaker Of the House, Nancy Pelosi a “Racist”?

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/07/aoc-accuses-pelosi-of-racism-for-criticizing-her-and-fellow-freshman-radicals-singling-out-of-newly-elected-women-of-color/

    Sweet justice.

    And like clock work the newest and most inexperienced Democratic member of Congress who is the most controversial Congress person to say the least, AOC, accuses speaker Pelosi of “Racism”. Anything now that AOC, and her sister “Women of color” in the Congress do not like will be considered “Racism” and it will be used as a political weapon and cudgel to instill fear in the very people who crafted the political weapon and cudgel in the first place, the Democrats. All frauds all the time.

    It just keeps getting better and better as time goes on. Trump continuously proves himself as a very “Stable Genius” and competent leader and the Democrats continue their descent into oblivion and ridiculousness.

  • Cotour

    AOC: “I don’t understand, why are we, the new women of color in the Congress are being singled out by the powers that be, the leadership of the Democrat lead Congress. This appears to me to be entirely unwarranted and discriminatory, possibly racist! As a matter of fact, it IS racist! Its UNFAIR! ” (So well indoctrinated, can see no other rational)

    https://theweek.com/speedreads/852117/alexandria-ocasiocortez-rips-nancy-pelosi-singling-newly-elected-women-color

    N. Pelosi: “My exercising of the powers granted to me by our Democrat conference in leading the Congress has nothing to do with your color or your race. Or you all being women, nothing what so ever. What it does have to do with is the fact that you are junior Congress persons and you all happen to be sooo radical, anti American and associated with real leftist, Marxist doctrine and sooo disruptive that you are in need of redirection and education as to how these institutions of government need to operate from the point of view of the leadership of the Democrat party. In other words your all being a bunch of little “female puppies” ”

    This is my imagined conversation between the two ladies.

    Ah, when all else fails a Democrat will always fall back on accusing anyone who opposes them as either being a racist, or biased in some manner usually being a misogynist if a woman is involved. One problem here, they are both Democrats and they are both women. And although they come to the game from different time perspectives they are products of their environment, the Liberal Democrat, now Leftist environment that is the Democrat party in America. And it is both entertaining and rewarding to watch something go down that was predicted, the Democrat party destroying itself.

    In years gone by someone might through reason and common sense would think would or should happen in politics never came to fruition. Why? Why has politics never been subject to rational thought and reason?Because the system was Soooo corrupt and Soooo set up that common sense and reason has no place anywhere near the subject, politics.

    And now the corruption has become sooo deep and ubiquitous that the system is apparently in the process of correcting itself. Things have become so disjointed and corrupt that this correction is a testament to our system and its superior design? Or there is another “concerned” force in the universe that is forcing and directing these necessary changes?

    Which is true?

    Maybe one, maybe a little bit of both? Who knows. But what is clear to me is that the required reconciliation is well under way and the end result will be a true work of political beauty, served up in part by our new Attorney General and in greater measure by the voters of America who are in the process of absorbing it all and will mete out their own form of justice, reward.

    A truly beautiful thing to behold.

    DOXXING =BLACKMAIL=INCOMPETENCE=NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS=POLITICS AS USUAL IN WASHINGTON DC

    https://youtu.be/G0lhrzWtWMc

    The only possible solution?

    A competent and fearless Attorney General with not much concern for his or her legacy willing to put these people who threaten us all in prison for their abuse of power and treachery. Let justice pour down.

    We hear little about it while it is all swept under the rug, nothing to see here. Hear anything about Awan brothers lately? Do you know why?

  • Cotour

    Want to hear some stupid crap? Listen to what some people in our country, people that are members of the “Democrat Socialists” think is what should be.

    https://youtu.be/UPLQNUVmq3o

    Pay attention Democrat “Comrades” this is your future. (Do you really support such mindless and limp wristed Leftist crap?)

    What raw and pretentious politically correct BEOTRK (Bovine Effluent Of The Rear Kind)

    Right out of Marx’s own dreams. Its sooo stupid that you have to take it serious, this is what they think and believe. It makes me physically ill.

    The very dangerous faux intellect of AOC.

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1166570882518720513

    Just like the progressive agenda this young woman who knows half truths about science or the nature of existence if not revealed and removed from her position as a Congress person will become an even more dangerous political player. An elite of the first order who would order the removal or worse of those who would dare confront her with her insanity. By any means necessary of course.

    Is it that she expects that there is a static condition that the earth should be at and the human activity that she has identified that is disrupting this stasis is a threat to all human life on the planet? How have humans existed all of this time? Is it because this stasis that she believes in existed and we all surviuved because of it? And now we are at a moment in our evolution where we have disrupted this mysterious balance and all human life will end because of it? She is so well indoctrinated and read in to the agenda, a product of our education system. Be proud Leftist operatives.

    Who is feeding this woman this bovin effluent? She soaks up this crap and spews it with authority like she actually knows what she is talking about to those who listen to her. This is a very low and very dangerous faux kind of science, more like political / scientific achemy voo doo IMO.

    And people ask me “Why do you care?”. This BS is certainly one of the reasons why I care.
