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

Today’s blacklisted American: Court clerk fired despite having valid health and religious reasons to refuse jab

Judge Claire Bradley, petty tyrant

They’re coming for you next: Today’s blacklist story is only one of tens of thousands, but it illustrates starkly the cruel and vindictive intolerance of the petty dictators who now run American society. It doesn’t matter if the jab doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter if you have valid health reasons for avoiding it. It doesn’t matter that you have religious beliefs. It doesn’t matter if you offer to be tested frequently to prove you aren’t sick. It doesn’t even matter that no mandate has been imposed by the local government.

The boss demands you to get jabbed, and if you dare to refuse, the boss will fire you.

Less than three years from retirement, Kitsap County court clerk Tammy Duryea was terminated in 2021 from her job because she did not wish to get the COVID shots for both health and religious reasons.

She has now sued, but her chances of victory are quite slim, especially since it was the court judges, led by Judge Claire Bradley, the presiding judge of the District Court, who imposed the shot mandate.

Though Kitsap County does not have a policy requiring all employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, judges in the county’s courts mandated vaccines for employees. That includes District Court — including judges, support staff and clerks — and Superior Court judges and administrative employees. Superior Court clerks, who do not have a mandate, answer to the elected clerk and are considered a separate branch of government from the courts.

The vaccine mandate for court workers gave employees until Nov. 1 [2021] to be fully vaccinated or obtain an exemption. If an employee did not meet the requirements by that date they could be fired for non-disciplinary reasons. Frequent testing was not offered as an alternative, Duryea said.

What makes Duryea’s firing even more egregious was the unwillingness of the court to accommodate her in any way — even though the court clearly allowed exemptions. Not only did she have religious reasons — which alone should have been sufficient — she had medical reasons for fearing the jab, since she had previously had a severe reaction to a flu shot.

“This is one of the few cases I’ve seen where a doctor wrote to the county saying, ‘I don’t want her to get vaccinated,’” [her attorney Chalmers Johnson] said. “They just said, ‘We don’t believe your doctor.’ They didn’t come back with their own doctor.”

Furthermore, when Duryea was fired in 2021, evidence was already building that the shots were ineffective in preventing infection from COVID. There was no reason to mandate the jab, because the jab was essentially ineffective.

None of this mattered to the court, however. Duryea was fired, without slightest misgivings.

As I said, Duryea’s case is only one in tens of thousands, but it is this fact that makes it even more heart-breaking and tragic. Like all those others, her life has been damaged badly, not from COVID but from the intolerant and ignorant actions of power-hungry government officials who do not care for others in the slightest.

America is no longer the land of the free, home of the brave. Instead, it is now run by petty tyrants who enjoy squashing others like bugs. And they succeed, because most everyone else cowers in fear, obeying their foolish demands willingly.

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

    So sad. Such irrational behavior.

    And it’s just not in America. A forgotten Germany memory of the Nuremberg trials with a vowed “never again”, the courts have ruled against a Holocaust survivor to force her to take double vaccine against her will, will be institutionalized for refusing to take the shot… if they can find her, friends are hiding her.

    The female leader of New Zealand stepped down from office yesterday due to death lawsuits from her decisions as Prime Minister.

    The BBC Broadcast house in England is plastered with pictures on the windows of dead ones that the government refuses to recognize the pandemic of the vaccinated.

    Simple, drag the judge out and lock her in the stocks for a day in the town square. Surround her with Purebloods until she resigns.

    Duryea’s chances of success may be “quite slim,” but not because her suit must be heard in Kitsap County. In Washington State, if one is suing a county, the suit may be filed in any adjacent county. Federal court is also available.

    Why at this point in time would ANYONE, any rational person continue to accept the injection of this mRNA drug into their body? Into their children’s bodies?

    And the government and Pfizer continues to promote and $ell it.

    Based on the growing evidence that is piling up?

    Experiment on yourself much?

    Remember to get your booster!
