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


“They were talking about [killing] hundreds of millions.”

The religion of peace strikes again! The first reporter to successfully embed with ISIS and not get killed gives his report.

“I always asked them about the value of mercy in Islam,” but “I didn’t see any mercy in their behavior,” explained Todenhofer. He added, “Something that I don’t understand at all is the enthusiasm in their plan of religious cleansing, planning to kill the non-believers… They also will kill Muslim democrats because they believe that non-ISIL-Muslims put the laws of human beings above the commandments of God.”

But remember! The Islamic state has nothing to do with Islam.

The support of my readers through the years has given 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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    This is what the religion of peace teaches in it’s holy book:

    Quran (2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing… but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)”

    FYI: “Polytheists” are Christians who believe in the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

    A bunch of Efn religious nuts convincing children to kill other children (what is the average age of the “men” in that picture in the article preparing to murder other “men”, 20 ?)

    The religion of peace in deed. Think they can be convinced to leave their religion in the privacy of their private homes?

  • Cotour

    Here is some more delightful imagery brought to you by the religion of peace. What more commentary is needed?

    The way things like that are enforced is left up to the ruler of the land.

    In some cases the non Muslims are executed. In others they are allowed to live in total peace with no restrictions. But in most cases around the middle east they are required to pay an extra tax and live with some restrictions.

    One of Mohamed’s first documented acts was to come to peace with the Jews in Medina.

    People of the Book get special exemptions.

    The Quran almost always leaves an out for the ruler of the land. If for some reason he can not kill or convert all in his area there is no reason to make it so he too is breaking the Quran by not obeying one small passage.

    Not all Christians believe in the trinity.

    Eastern Orthodox do not.
    I was originally Byzantine Catholic ( A branch of Eastern Orthodox) but we eventually came into communion with the Holy Roman Church and now recognize the holy trinity.

    We still pray for those lost when Constantinople was sacked by the Muslims in 1453. Thousands of Christians died and tens of thousands were sold into slavery.
    We also pray for our solders who defend this nation and thus our faith.
    We always have ,every week.

    As I have said before, ISIS are not a group of “radicalized Jihadis” the are Islamic fundamentalists. They behave as Mohammed himself behaved

  • pzatchok

    And the Trinity is not about three Gods but about three aspects of the one God.

  • Jake V

    Eastern Orthodox most certainly recognize the Trinity. Check out the teachings on the Trinity given in the Seven Ecumenical Councils – all of which took place in the Christian East. The only Christians that reject the Trinity are branches of Protestantism (like Unitarians).

    As to Byzantine Catholics, they use the worship services of Byzantine Orthodoxy. The only exception is Ruthenian Byzantine Catholics in America, which uses sort of a Latinized Byzantine Low Mass. It was promulgated because they wanted to be more Roman Catholic and less Orthodox.

    But this has nothing to do with the religion of peace and the violence it unleashes on the innocent – Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others. There is no mercy in Islam. The Quran is quite clear on this.

  • Jimbo

    Raqaa has a smaller population than Fallujah. Someone should Fallujize Raqaa. If the IS were to lose its capitol it would show that it is a house of cards.

  • pzatchok

    Your correct I was thinking about the difference in their interpretation of it. And if the fact that is one of the main reasons they are still apart.

    And radical Muslims don’t care what you believe in or who you are. As long as you are not them you are a target.
