On the radio
I will be doing a quickly scheduled appearance with Robert Pratt at 5 pm (Central) today on his Pratt on Texas radio network, airing across the Lone Star State. You can listen live here or from an affiliate station available here.
The interview is scheduled for 30 minutes, but it could go longer. The subject will be the muzzle of oppression that so many Americans are now willing to put on their faces.
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

Thanks Bob, as always it was a pleasure to have you on.
Robert Pratt: And as always, it was a pleasure to visit with you. If a podcast of today’s show becomes available, please let me know and I will post a link to it here.

Wow! On the day that America sets a new single-day death record for Covid-19, you go on the radio to denounce one of the simplest ways for Americans to reduce the spread of this disease. What timing!
How many bodies have to pile up before you admit you are wrong?
Mkent, I marvel at how all around me these people are supposedly dying in record numbers, which necessarily means that three times as many people must be getting very very sick and surviving …. I marvel at how I personally know ZERO who’ve been killed or e even made ill beyond mild flu.
Mkent, I remember the first real pandemic I ever experienced, when I was 11 years old. I knew lots of people, all ages, who got sick, and that continued over flu seasons of the next 50 years. I have lived in very heavily populated port towns so we were the first to get “new” viruses and the regional industry (fishing) was very very high risk, so the “risk” of getting this season’s flu was laughable in context.
Now you can write it off as “empirical” evidence that’s worthless and go on believing purely on what doctors and politicians tell you (those are the ones telling you that all these people are dying) as opposed to what your eyes, math skills, and personal experience tell you.
Easily gulled, inexperienced people are free to believe what they want but they are dangerously wrong in trying to force their beliefs on “non believers” or “deniers” of whatever term bullies choose. Be responsible for your own health, fear, and beliefs and STOP trying to force others to conform to your beliefs.
Live and let live, mkent.
mkent,
If those masks work, then why didn’t they work over the summer? And why aren’t they working now? If masks worked, then Wuhan would have virtually disappeared over the summer, like every flu does. Instead, the empirical evidence is that they are worse than useless and cause more spread.
We are supposedly wearing all these masks in order to save just one life. What will that life finally be saved so that we can stop all these deadly reactions to this not-as-deadly-as-the-reactions flu?
How many more bodies have to pile up before you admit you are wrong?
