Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it 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.


Social distancing and lockdowns killing craft beer industry

The beating will continue until morale improves: The new normal of “social distancing”, combined with the government-imposed lock downs, threatens to bankrupt the craft beer industry nationwide.

As much as 15% of craft breweries expect to close by the end of the month if social distancing remains in place, according to a national survey from the Boulder-based Brewers Association, and more than 60% don’t expect to survive beyond June.

If applied to Colorado — which now counts about 420 breweries — the projections suggest 250 would close by summer. That would represent a huge dent for an industry woven into the state’s identity and one that contributes more than $3 billion a year to the state’s economy.

Our society, our culture, our economy, and even the human race itself cannot survive if we accept the premise that no one can ever be closer than six feet to another. It isn’t practical, and it certainly isn’t sane.

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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

    “Our society, our culture, our economy, and even the human race itself cannot survive”

    Truer than you can imagine, our dollar is tied to oil and it just fell below a dollar a barrel… My brother said it in an odd way, America is on an iceberg and it just rolled over.

    This was a manufactured crisis, people are waking up but it might be too late.

    “Dr. Rashid Buttar calls out Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates as being responsible for development of the CV-19 virus and for causing the pandemic. This is a hard-hitting interview. Dr. Buttar is “fed up” with the disinformation that’s being given to the American people”. 48min

    Max, if true, this is a prime example of an S.O.M. type operation.

    Arms length operators within government off shore the research that becomes illegal or not morally acceptable and continue to fund that illegal or not morally acceptable research in another more “flexible” country. The justification? “We have to do this research because if we don’t do it someone else will”. And that can be a rational justification, or maybe not.

    The Communist Chinese prime mode of operation is strategy, no morality even need be thought of.

    What comes to mind that is similar is “The Tuskegee experiment” where the government did pretty much the same thing in country, no off shoring needed.

    Information? Or Disinformation?

    https://youtu.be/XdSrY9-viEA

    “Responding to a question by Moyers on how he came to fund “reproductive issues” Gates answered, “When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things. My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be involved with that. And so it’s fascinating. At the dinner table my parents are very good at sharing the things that they were doing. And almost treating us like adults, talking about that.”

    It is very difficult for those in the Pedestrian Realm to discern what are the true motives of those in the W.H.O., Bill Gates, Dr, Fauchi, Soros etc, at these levels of operation. And someone like Dr. Buttar who may well know or see what is underway because of his time spent in the military working on such programs, again, off shore. Bill Gates, billionaire is focused both on controlling population and coincidently vaccines. And remember Gates himself predicted a Corona virus pandemic in 2015 in a TED Talk. Just a coincidence?

    Lots of very interesting coincidences in the world since Trump became president.

    And if you think that our own military does not do such things, think again.

    Will it be proposed that you can not move around the country or the world if you do not have the vaccine for Covid 19? And can prove it? And I think it has been reasonably narrowed down and established that Covid 19 most likely came out of a Wuhan lab in some way shape or form. And it is apparently a part of a research program that had to be “off shored” during the Obama administration (Globalist) because of moral or legal issues within the borders of America? (I can not find anything that confirms that.) And it was sent to a lab in China where such issues are not an issue. Is that what is apparently coming out into the light?

    All Globalist billionaire driven (?). All interested in removing the one man in power that poses a threat to this possible agenda (?). At this point in time I am satisfied that that the virus is not a pure function of nature given the drips of information that is able to be gathered. So then the only question remains is whether it is in the world as a function of poor security in a laboratory with the supposed highest security levels, or it is in the world with a designed purpose.

    Lots of interesting questions.

    Again, its hard to know for sure, we in the Pedestrian Realm will always be behind the information curve, but the information that is able to be gathered appears to support more than the virus is just a function of nature.

    Cotour, I thought of you when I was watching the link above. The man was involved in false flag events, (SOM) taking off their dog tags and insignia, even spoke the name of his friend who admitted to him that his unit set the oil fires in Kuwait / Gulf War then blaming it on Sodom Hussein, under orders.

    Bill Gates admired his father and his father’s work for Planned Parenthood, reducing the population by helping mothers snuff out thousands of lives.
    His fathers work has become his own dream to fulfill. On a truly massive scale. Bill and his vaccinations are still on trial in supreme court in India for killing thousands and sterilization of young girls with experimental shots and no follow up to count the dead. The polio shot alone sicked 490,000 children with polio. Same in Africa where he’s actually on a death list if he shows up there again.
    And this is the man with the plan that’s going to save us all? I’m with Rashid on this one, Bill Gates is up to no good again.
    Rush Limbaugh keeps talking about how many people test positive for the virus but never had any symptoms in California. This is true of most places that have mandatory vaccinations in place. The vaccinations for this virus has already been given in the flu shots for the last two years? Rasheed is an expert on the subject and he implies that something is in the shots.
    Bill’s motives are not pure, Rasheed makes a living off of the mistakes that the vaccines cause. His blowing the whistle is very brave, his challenge to other doctors to stand up is falling on deaf ears.

    Watch the video for the details on how experimenting in United States was outlawed so Bill Gates and the WHO contracted with China to resume the tests. Chinese nationals were arrested with viles of virus in their socks boarding a plane for China.

    Here’s a little light reading to answer some of the questions you asked, judge for yourself.
    Is Bill Gates the nice guy that we should trust as his PR campaign suggest? Or do actions speak louder than words…. Is he a billionaire megalomaniac?
