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


The endless and all-compassing terrors of global warming

Want to know what scientists have predicted climate change will do to the Earth? Go to ClimateChangePredictions.org, where they keep a full list of every prediction they can find.

I especially like the category “Having it both ways,” where they list different predictions that insisted on opposite consequences. For example did you know that global warning is going to bring both “less rain” and “more rain”, Other predictions are equally amusing.

Readers!

 

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.

    They missed the latest prediction: a changed economy.
    http://politicaloutcast.com/2015/02/un-official-admits-using-climate-change-change-economy/

    “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution.”

    Of course, it is the free-market-capitalism economic-model that has brought the most good to people. This economic system is common in Europe and North America, where the majority of the rich live. Even the poor here are not poor, when compared to people living under other economic systems.

    We know that it is free market capitalism that brings prosperity, because from the 1940s to the 1990s, both China and India used the communist, centrally controlled economic model, yet their populations remained mostly poor. Since then, both countries have moved closer to free market capitalism, with immediate and astonishing result. About a billion people, so far, in these two countries have moved out of poverty and into the middle class. This is a movement that happened faster than in Europe or North America.

    Unfortunately, free market capitalism puts the power into the hands of We the People rather than They the Rulers, and They are not happy to be so powerless against us. According to They the Rulers, when We the People decide, we decide wrong, such as our choice of light bulbs, soda sizes, or whether to purchase health insurance.

    On the other hand, the next ice age is due any millennium, now. Perhaps those super-intelligent Rulers can stop *that* change in climate from coming.

    This may be my favorite:

    “327 feet (100 metres) February 11, 2015 by admin Andrew Bolt: I ask you, Robyn, 100 metres in the next century…do you really think that? Robyn Williams: It is possible, yes. The increase of melting that they’ve noticed in Greenland and the amount that we’ve seen from the western part of Antarctica, if those increases of three times the expected rate continue, it will be huge… ”

    It took the best part of 8,000 to 10,000 years previously to accomplish 300 feet of sea rise and this guy asserts that 300 plus feet could be the result of the next 100 years? A 300 or so times melting potential over what has been recorded? That would be a melting rate / sea level rise of 3 feet PER YEAR over 100 years? really?

    I don’t think that if all of the nuclear weapons that exist on the planet were detonated over the North and South poles that could be accomplished.

  • “They missed the latest prediction…”

    If you come across a prediction send it to them. The website is open to tips. And the more the merrier, since the more they post the more obvious it becomes that this whole global warming theory is a fraud.

  • Thanks for the site notice. Bookmarked it.

    Oh, it gets even better. Now these pompous idiots are looking into geoengineering, obviously to protect us from ourselves. It is quite apparent the insanity never stops.

    Weather predictions according to Nostradamus! Whatever happens it then becomes clear that Nostradamus predicted it.
    They do all have one thing in common;
    They only way to prevent the disaster is to destroy the United States’ economy.
    Odd how that just happens to be what socialists have been trying to do for the last century…

    They seek control by shouting about “morality” and “justice”, which the everyday man connects with from their everyday perspective. They themselves have no morality because they understand 1. That power and control of power is not attained by being moral only appearing to being moral (Obama in this example but extends to this climate agenda) and 2. The road to acquiring power and retaining power is strewn with those everyday men who wrongly thought that by being “more” moral was how power was attained and retained (50 % of the American public in this example)
