Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. 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.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed 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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


The Obama administration unilaterally rewrote parts of the Freedom of Information Act in order to suppress access to documents.

The law is such an inconvenient thing: The Obama administration unilaterally rewrote parts of the Freedom of Information Act in order to suppress access to documents.

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 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

    Let’s all say it together, this is the most transparent administration in the history of the world.

    The exception is so broad it means the executive can deny any and every FOIA request.

    A couple thoughts:

    First, this was done just a couple months after Obama took office – almost as if they knew they were going to break laws & were proactively taking steps to prevent anyone from finding the truth.

    2nd, this plays right into the Obama Regime’s attempts to continue to shield any & all his records from public scrutiny. He’s never produced a verifiably valid Birth Certificate, his SS # was previously issued to someone else & he’s prevented us from seeing the original document, he has refused to release any of his college grades & records, including those for college loans which would show whether he was (fraudulently) claiming status as a foreign student, and on & on (no point naming them all).

    He has never answered what happened to him as the Benghazi debacle was unfolding, where he went & why he was apparently unreachable during a time of crisis – unprecedented for a U.S. president. So by unilaterally (and I believe illegally) changing the FOIA law for his own benefit, he’s been able to stonewall any investigation into any number of serious matters. Reminds one of the actions of a tin-horn Banana Republic Dictator…
