Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it 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.


“These are the brownshirts of our time.”

Read it. Though the author describes an event that happened in 2003, it shows us ugly circumstances that have now become quite common, because as she says, “the ‘good’ people did nothing to disperse the hostility.” And unless we do something about it now — stand up to these fascist thugs who hide behind nice-sounding ideologies — what is happening today in the worst places in the Middle East is only showing us what things will be like here in another dozen years.

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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

    Scary article. But it serves to wake us up. Letting illegal immigration or even massive legal immigration expand is a threat to our way of life and republic.

    Our job as citizens is to be brave like the author and not back down from neo-Coms and other ill educated people. Stand fast.

    This may not be directly relevant, but it has some parallel elements and was just to juicy not to share.

    Ann Coulter is often over the top with a sharp tongue and pointed elbows . But she often says what needs needs to be said in such a way that people just can’t ignore. In this clip, you can tell that Jorge Ramos is incredibly pissed and wants to smack her down but just can’t dispute the facts of what she is saying.

    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/05/26/are-you-really-saying-ann-coulter-seemingly-stuns-host-with-comment-on-immigrants-islamic-state/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Firewire&utm_campaign=Firewire%20-%20HORIZON%205-27-15%20FINAL

    The fact is that America is awash in a sea of illegal aliens who do not identify themselves as Americans or act as Americans. By their everyday actions they tend to re-create the very hellholes that they have fled from in insular neighborhoods imbedded within our cities.

    The Boston Radio talk show host Howie Carr often points this out when news reports describe a perp as being “A Marlborough man” or “A man from Malden”. (The Tsarnaev brothers were “Cambridge men” not “Chechen Men” or “Men from Kazakhstan” or Muslim terrorists.)
    He does a bit every week where he reads police reports of unlicensed drivers in un-registered, un-insured, un-inspected cars. Most often they are being arrested for DWI. Not surprisingly they almost never show up for their court date.
    Hope that you will never be in an accident with one of these people. YOU will pay for the property damages, YOU will pay for the hospital costs. YOU (or your estate) will pay the funeral expenses. The “Man from Somerville” will have disappeared like a fart in the wind.

    Unfortunately I fear that the truth of her statement has an expiration date since there have been reports of ISIS members in Texas.

    It seems to me that many Mexicans do consider themselves as americans, they do not consider that there is a sovereign border between Mexico and the United States. The Dean of psychology at the University de Hermosillo personally told me that he was an american (by virtue of the north american continent) and that he did not believe in borders to keep country’s separate, this was a very well educated man, I suspect that those that are well educated are indoctrinated in Marxism and do not understand capitalism, it seems living and growing up with the tyranny that is Mexico could not possibly give you enough of an education to understand the difference between an economy that is free market versus an economy where the state is corrupt and controls all, come to think of it, we are headed that way too!
