Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, 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

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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Republicans in the House move to fund the government, excluding Obamacare.

If the government shuts down because of this budget proposal it will be because the Democrats refused to sign it. It will be because the Democrats would rather keep Obamacare then keep the government operating.

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

    There must come a moment in time at which a person must make a stand and vote / act in a way that illustrates where they stand as it relates to what they truly believe, come what maY.

    This is that moment!

    The logic certainly exists for the congress, to at the minimum postpone this un Constitutional legislation based solely upon the exceptions that the administration has granted. At the minimum, ultimately it must be eliminated and replaced with a market based solution which includes health savings accounts with catastrophic policies. And PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!

    It doesn’t matter, we all know how the media will spin this.

    That how you will know when the moment has arrived, when what the media says will not matter.

    I just read a story about truckers planning to shut down Washington on Oct. 13th for three days. This is an example of how the people need to begin to communicate with their tone deaf, Constitution defying and empowered politicians.

    And then in 2014 there will be more communications, and again in 2016. Some of the most chilling communications directed at the political class will come in the form of the removal of Marko Rubio, John McCain, Lyndsey Graham and many more. Another positive example would be the recent successful recall of two politicians in Colorado for their offenses to the second amendment of the Constitution.

    LET THE COMMUNICATIONS BEGIN!
