My February birthday fund-raising campaign for this website, Behind the Black, is now over. Despite a relatively weak initial three weeks, the last week was spectacular, making this campaign the second best ever.

 

Thanks to every person who donated or subscribed. It continues to astonish me that people who can read my work for free like it enough to donate money voluntarily. Words cannot express my appreciation for that support, especially in these uncertain times.

 

If you have been a regular reader and a fan of my work and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider doing so. I take no ads, I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands (most of the time). Thus, 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

“The Peace President is starting to leave a legacy of war.”

“The Peace President is starting to leave a legacy of war.”

Read it. It is an excellent analysis of the overall failures of Obama’s foreign policy and how those failures are going leave the world a much more dangerous place after Obama is gone.

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

    There’s nothing more dangerous than a weak man in a position of power. It can only produce two thing’s, chaos and uncertainty.

  • DK Williams

    Obama is recreating the chaos of his upbringing. It’s all he knows.

  • Kelly Starks

    Agree C. Obama never ran anything but protest movements. He just can’t get that theirs more to being a pres then doing a few speeches. Hes making Carter look good – and setting the world up for WW-IV.

    I also keep thinking of that Roman proverb that is you want peace prepare for war. To keep cutting the mil even after the attacks like Ukraine, REALLY invites more attacks.

    Somewhere someplace Carter is smiling because he has been dethroned as the worst contemporary president stil alive!

  • DK Williams

    Once again in time of crisis, Obama flies off to California to give speeches, fund raise, and play golf. Meanwhile his “security team” led by…wait for it…Susan Rice… is tasked with devising a plan to deal with the Iraq situation. This team no doubt is scouring the Internet for a video to save the day.

  • Kelly Starks

    :/
    Yes, Obama does have that accomplishment to be proud of…and soon he may dethrone Wilson for being the most damaging president since.. pretty much ever, both in real damage to the US and to the world.

    Now if someone had a REgan to follow this Carter like presidency..

  • Kelly Starks

    Yeah – at least Carter didn’t run off for golf and a half dozen fund raisers during international crises.

    :/
