Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows 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. 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. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally 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.
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

I found interesting the other day Governor Cuomo intends to modify his new “assault weapons ban” to exclude from the law any movie company’s making movies in N.Y.. The movie company’s (Hollywood) will be allowed to use what ever weapons they would like that are now banned in N.Y. state.
I have a question for the governor: Governor Cuomo, do you not see a connection between the depraved, inhuman and inappropriate imagery regarding the use of these weapons and how their use is portrayed in movies and video games and the violent acts perpetrated by mentally ill or impressionable individuals?
A second question: Movie industry first amendment rights aside, is it appropriate for a state to basically endorse and encourage such violent and in many instances depraved imagery within their state and by default the world, while restricting the second amendment rights of that states law abiding citizens to own those same previously legal weapons?
And by the way, as I understand it, deaths in America due to the use of “assault weapons” amount to 1.5% of all gun related deaths( mostly gang use). So if saving lives is the metric, why would you stop with a weapon that is rarely used in such events? I don’t follow the logic.
Colorado’s houise just passed a bill that would outlaw pump actio shot guns that hold multiple rounds. Gov. Hickenloopey said he will sign it if it passes the state’s senate.
This is a hunting shotgun used by the majority of pheasant hunters everywhere. How is this an assault rifle? What’s next…my son’s bb gun?
