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 Obamacare website routinely uploads your confidential personal information for all to read.

The Obamacare website routinely uploads your confidential personal information for all to read.

Tea party and conservatives repeatedly warned that this law would be a security risk. Even if they get the website fixed, the system still exposes your personal data to too many people who shouldn’t see it.

And then there’s this: A reporter calls the Obamacare hotline, is put on hold, and then told by the operator they know he’s a reporter, refuses to answer questions, and that a supervisor will call back.

How did the operator know he was a reporter? And even so, why should a reporter be treated differently? Doesn’t this also suggest that Obamacare could be used by present and future administrations against their critics?

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

    The tyranny is as obvious as the runny nose on your face. How can it have gotten this far without a massive revolt.

    Think about the absolute breach of personal freedom when the government dictates how you handle your runny nose.

    Enough….everyone in America please wake up from your video screen’s strobe-induced dopamine surge hypnosis that keeps normally critical-thinking and aware people from being slowly boiled in the pot.

    The test will be in the 2014 elections, that will tell the tale of our future.

    What state has the most liberty? Can that liberty be exported to nearby states? If so, how long would it take to fix all 50?

    So…reporters can’t sign up for Ovomitcare? What about bloggers?

  • wade

    I have instructed my offspring and friends Not to apply . the lack of signing members is the best Peaceful Tool against this Hoodwink

    The next step will be to require doctors to take medicare, medicaid, and Ovomitcare patients as a condition of licensure.

    And here is the next step, a little premature IMO though.

    “Virginia Democrat Calls For Forcing Doctors To Accept Medicare And Medicaid Patients”

    Just like the Catholic Church and private employers on the abortion issue doctors need to band together and resist the government compelling them to accept Medicare and Medicaid if they do not want to accept it. The people of the country need to put the drivers of this agenda in a choke hold, grab the wheel and force this whole thing into the ditch. Then get it turned around and headed in a non Marxist / communist / socialist direction and back on to a market based system where the individual is actually responsible for their own healthcare insurance. Personal responsibility, what a concept!

    I really can’t believe that I am writing about this situation in America but this is what you get when the people who put people in power become complacent and dependent (read lazy, stupid and drug addicted). Sick, sick, sick.

    “How did the operator know he was a reporter?”

    They probably googled his name. Are they googling everyone who calls or do they have a list of phone numbers of people they are not allowed to talk to?

    But there should be nothing wrong with a person going through the system and reporting back to everyone else about their experiences. We clearly cant trust the Obama administration to either know or to let people know the reality of the system.
