Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, 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. 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.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. 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

The Democrats: 28% think it would be a good thing if Trump were killed

Poll proving how murderous the Democrats have become
Click for original image.

The Democrats and their supporters might claim they stand for democracy and freedom and fair elections, but their own words prove this endlessly to be a lie. In a new poll of a 1,000 registered voters, 28% of the Democrats thought the country would be better off if Trump were assassinated.

Sadly, as shown by the graph to the right, 7% of the Republicans polled also thought killing Trump would a good thing.

The difference between the two numbers however illustrates the stark difference between the two parties, and helps explain why there have been two assassination attempts on Trump and none on the Democratic Party candidates. Republicans mostly support democracy and free and fair elections. A large percentage of Democrats no longer do.

Furthermore, Democrats also appear to be so filled with their hatred of Trump and any opposition that they can no longer think rationally about anything. The poll also found that 70% believed it likely or somewhat likely that the second assassination attempt was faked by Trump and his campaign.

All of this hatred among grassroots Democrats is worsened because the leadership of the Democratic Party keeps feeding it. For example, just one day after the second assassination attempt, Hillary Clinton went on television to immedately call Trump a “very dangerous man” who mustn’t get “another chance to do harm to our country and the world.” Though in her remarks she called for voters to reject Trump, her hyperbolic words were so over the top that they made it clear murdering Trump might be a better option, since as she also noted “The race is still too close. The Electoral College is still the big hurdle that has to be overcome.”

Clinton then topped these intolerant slanders against Trump by also saying in that same interview that maybe it would be a good thing if Americans were arrested and charged criminally for saying things publicly that she disagrees with.

I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda [against Democrats]. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States.

Clinton apparently thinks the Bill of Rights is merely a piece of paper that can be discarded at her whim. Clinton’s attitude here, however, is not the exception, but the rule among Democrats. Mainstream big name Democrats continue to spout the lie that Trump will somehow “end democracy” and institute “a coup” if legally re-elected, and that the Bill of Rights should be ignored if it stands in their way. Kamala Harris for example has publicly stated that she thought it perfectly all right for the police to break into the homes of innocent people if they happen to own guns to inspect how the guns are stored.

The Democratic Party, hostile to freedom, democracy, and fair elections

Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean we’re not going to walk in and check that you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.

Harris has also publicly put herself into the cohort of Democrats above who think it justified to kill her opponents when in a 2018 appearance on television she jokingly fantasized about killing Trump, Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions. And the audience’s enthusiastic and gleeful cheers to her fantasy adds weight to the poll above, that a lot of people on the left think murder as a polticial tactic is entirely acceptable.

It is all disgusting and vile. The people most willing to end democracy and free and fair elections are those on the left and who are supporters of the Democratic Party. They are not alone in this terrible idea, but they are leading the charge down into that future hell.

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

    Even scarier when you look at the “not sure” slice of Democrats. Added with the other group, 53 pct of the respondents are sure or can’t say if it would be a good thing if Trump was assassinated.

  • THEN SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!

    “If you are not willing to go to the matt and put them in a choke hold on this specific issue, then what is the use? You are a part of the problem, or you are a willing participant. Then we all have surrendered our sovereignty to the radical corrupted “progressive” Democrat party, and it is all over. Just a matter of a very short time.

    Just bend over, P. Diddy will be right with you.”

    That 7% on the Republican side are the ones who vote people like Boehner, Ryan, Kinzinger, Murkowski et al in to sabotage the rest of the party.

    Clearly, democrats should not be allowed to own or possess firearms. Let‘s make it the law, then most of these mass shootings & assassination attempts will cease.

  • pzatchok

    I just do not know why everyone does not just stop being fascists and accept the ruling classes dictates. They do know more than the rest of us and they do have our best future planned for us.

    When will we on the right just correct our thoughts and walk in lockstep with the rest of them?

  • I can only imagine that those who advocate violence against others, will have no problem with violence against them.

  • John

    “Not sure” means I can’t admit that I support violence and terrorism.

    I’ve seen videos of those people where they wish death on someone and then say they’re not violent, almost literally in the same breath.

    Disgusting and vile is right. Reprehensible.

    Replace Jew with with MAGA in 1930s Germany and you have 2020s United States. I never understood how people could lose their minds like that, but covid psychosis and deranged progressives have shown me.

    God help us.

  • Chas

    So, I feel the same about Obama and the Clintons…

  • John

    Those people need to be asked a simple questions:

    “Is it possible that Trump is not Hitler?”

    “How did he destroy democracy in the first term?”

    It has to be media, some kind of conditioning on TV- normal people are not like this and the country will not continue with a society filled with such people.

  • James Street: This statement might be true, but when COVID hit and the left decided to bypass Trump and go after everyone directly, canceling the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and instituting a campaign of blacklisting, Trump failed to defend us.

    I think if he regains the White House and is not assassinated the odds are high that he won’t make that mistake again, but in a free society we each must fend for ourselves, and not rely on the actions of others.

    Thing is, a goodly number of them already are prohibited. Felons galore, the Dems.

    Blair Ivey thought: “I can only imagine that those who advocate violence against others, will have no problem with violence against them.

    Keep in mind that leftists are three-year-olds. It is important to them to always get their own way. We see hypocrisy, but they see consistency. For leftists, their own violence is speech, so when they commit violence against, say, a presidential candidate, it is merely them making their opinion known. However, when someone else speaks and says something the leftists disagree with, that is violence, and it justifies their own violence against the speaker. Thus, violence against Trump is justified, in their own minds. Because these are emotional feelings, not logical deductions, we cannot get them to change their minds with any kind of persuasion. They must always have their way, must always be satisfied.

    They always feel as though they are the good guys. For instance, they are the only tolerant ones, often saying that they are intolerant only of intolerance. However, what they think of as intolerance is disagreement, specifically disagreement with them. Thus, when they get violent, they remain the tolerant ones, because they are only not tolerating intolerance.

    For them, it is OK to be violent to others. That is how they speak so that they are heard. For them, we may not even speak, because that is violence.
