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.


Three leftist protesters arrested in Chicago

Brownshirts: During a leftist protest today in Chicago, where the protesters wore masks and chanted “Cops and Klan go hand in hand,” three demonstrators were arrested when they tried to block traffic.

Remember, these people are not demonstrating against any real racism or oppression. What they are protesting is the existence of the United States and American culture. Anything they can do to destroy it will please them.

I must add that a red flag should immediately be raised against anyone who requires a mask to protest. If you do not have evil intent you have no reason to hide your face.

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

    We are long past the time when harsh language and impassioned pleas to the uneducated and clearly inferior cultures in the USA will do any good. Illegal aliens and Hyphenated ‘Americans’ are nothing but the lapdogs for the Democratic party,all in hopes of getting free handouts money and food, and of course , cellphones. This in exchange for an illegal vote for HRC. Good GOD , our last CRIMINAL, TRAITOR POTUS , Barry O, just before the election openly encouraged illegal voting, as long as it was for the queen of darkness. Why can’t we lock these gangsters up? We seem to be rounding up M13 with no sweat whatsoever, but the Democrats as a whole remain untouchable. As long as they have a proper trial, Sic Semper Tyrannis

    Someone should tell Clinton and her sordid crew to ResISt in Peace.

    North Carolina General Statute 14-12.7
    No person or persons at least 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood or device whereby the person, face or voice is disguised so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter, be or appear upon any lane, walkway, alley, street, road, highway or other public way in this State.
    I do not understand why this law is ignored by law enforcement.

    The current situation has the potential to get very ugly.

    I have sworn a oath twice, to protect and defend the Constitution, from all enemies,
    domestic and foreign. I have never rescinded my solemn vow.

    GOD bless America!

    Chicago has quite the historical bent for anarchy-related activity.
    Reference: “Haymarket Riots of 1886.”

    Danny–
    Thanks for referencing that N.C. Statute. (I’d be interested it the history of it’s formulation.) Michigan has something similar, but I can’t readily locate a link. I believe it came about as a response to klan activity in the 1920’s.

    If you do not have evil intent you have no reason to hide your face.

    Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about people who post to the internet anonymously or use handles?

  • Jim Davis: An excellent question. Personally, I think those that do not use their real name have far less creditability, and get that from me. I put my name behind everything I write, and think everyone should do the same.

    The ability to hide on the internet, on Twitter especially, is the cause of a lot of our problems, as it has allowed bad people to say vile things without consequences. Worse, it has allowed them to team up (which seems impossible but is happening) to destroy those they disagree with.

    When you sign your own name to what you write, it forces upon you personal responsibility, forcing you to write like an adult and treat others with respect.
