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.


The bigots in academia

Two stories today that only confirm what many other previous stories have shown: Modern academia is very bigoted, but instead of favoring white supremacy their focus is promoting black and minority rule.

The second story outlines efforts to create segregated housing and classrooms for the benefit of minorities at a number of different colleges.

It is important to remember that each one of these proposals is being put forth by leftwing academics, all of which I guarantee are partisan Democrats. All they can see is race, which is why they call anyone that disagrees with them a racist. Or to quote the Bible, “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

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

    They identify as the “Harambee Student Retreat,” ? So the black organization is identifying themselves with a recently murdered zoo kept gorilla? To say nothing of the entirely counter intuitive and paradoxical segregation to promote “inclusion”.

    My most current revelation that I am sharing with the confused masses is that, anything that the media or the left says or promotes the reality and truth actually is the opposite of what they say.

    Oh, president Obama will have soooo much to work with upon his retirement.

  • PeterF

    I get the impression the president is planning to stay in Washington and “kind of run things” from behind. I expect he will be in for a bit of culture shock. I wonder how many of loyal “contacts” will be “too busy” to pick up the phone when he calls?

    When I was in college back in the 70’s blacks were practicing self segregation. And they had a number of “Harambee” looking goons to enforce the thing – both ways.

    I remember one time a black girl turned down the offer of a ride and walked home in the rain because she was afraid someone would see her with a honky and report the fact back to higher headquarters.

    Nothing new.

    Had to undergo transgender and non-gender-specific sensitivity training at my college last summer due to Obama mandate. I will withhold further comment.

    It will quickly get much much worse. They used to say that the US was 10 years ahead of Sweden. Well, in this respect Sweden is 10 years ahead of you. Be very afraid!

    The left is turning daily life into a walk through a minefield.

    A brave new world.

    It used to be that segregation was considered discrimination, but now it seems that integration is the new discrimination, at least among liberals. Reminds me of the fashion world, in which it is easy for black to be the new white. Apparently, it is just as easy in the liberal world.

    Princeton is beginning to ban the use of the word “man.”
    http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/28540/

    Once they have completed this ban, almost half of the people there will be unable to self identify. Lacking this ability to identify, they will lose their bathroom privileges. Title 9 will be thrown for a loop, as men’s sports will no longer exist to offset the money spent on women’s sports.

    Indeed, to remove the identity of “man,” is to discriminate against all men.

    Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive each other about genetically determined sex.

    The bigots in academia are not as smart as they think they are. They do not think through the effects of their deceitful ways.
