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


Ten things you could do in 1975 that you can’t do now.

The death of freedom: Ten things you could do in 1975 that you can’t do now.

Read the comments as well. I especially liked this: “It used to be that laws and regulations were put in place to prevent people from doing bad things to other people. Now laws and regulations are put in place to prevent good people from enjoying the fruits of their labor!”

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.

    Although this document “The report from Iron Mountain” is touted as a hoax, if you were to read it you would find many of the plans, agendas and “crazy” conspiracy theories that were written about in 1967 is coming to fruition today. This leads me to question whether we are just being kept busy with the silly and adolescent issues such as who Anthony Weiner while running for the office of Mayor Of New York is showing his junk to or what Amanda Bines is setting on fire. It becomes more and more apparent to me that our Constitution has been usurped long ago by the power of attaining and hoarding and administering power. Exactly what the Constitution was formulated to counter act.

    “The Report from Iron Mountain is a book published in 1967 (during the Johnson Administration) by Dial Press which puts itself forth as the report of a government panel. The book includes the claim it was authored by a Special Study Group of fifteen men whose identities were to remain secret and that it was not intended to be made public. It details the analyses of a government panel which concludes that war, or a credible substitute for war, is necessary if governments are to maintain power. The book was a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into fifteen languages. Controversy still swirls over whether the book was a satiric hoax about think-tank logic and writing style or the product of a secret government panel. The document is a favorite among conspiracy theorists, who are either unaware or reject the statement made in 1972 by satirist Leonard Lewin that the book was a spoof and that he was its author.

    I am inclined to think that Leonard Lewin was not telling the truth, when you look at agenda 21, many of the things published in iron mountain are the same thoughts! When you read Atlas Shrugged and take a look around the city of Detroit, fiction becomes truth, Eric Blair, Ayn Rand were very prophetic fictional authors that about nailed what is going on with this society. Finally look up an open conspiracy by H G Wells, in it he says (and I paraphrase), that every 5 years, a person should show up before a board and justify himself! Nice people these progressives are.

    All of them are informed projectors of the future based on what they understood about the nature of the human animal. Part of the strategy is the strength of keeping people confused with a lot of information both believable and unbelievable, with both being revealed in time as being true. The more unbelievable the better.

    The public having and being limited by their moral perspective model, while “others” are executing models outside of that perspective that are several moves ahead of the public.
