Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, 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. 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. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally 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.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four 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 or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Today’s blacklisted American: Doctor jailed for entering Capitol on Jan 6 and expressing opinions

Simone Gold, in prison for having wrong opinions

Blacklists are back and the Democrats have got ’em: Simone Gold, one of the thousands of doctors who strongly objected to the federal government’s COVID policies during the Wuhan panic, has begun a six month jail sentence for “trespassing” during the January 6th 2021 protests at the Capitol.

While US officials tried to smear and marginalize Gold and her group, her actual jail sentence was linked to her participation in the January 6, 2021 Trump rally in the US Capitol. According to Gold, she proceeded to the Capitol building on that date, where police let her into the building with a group that did not use force; and she spoke to the crowd inside about medical freedom.

As a result, she was charged with trespassing, and sentenced to jail time. [emphasis mine]


Explain to me how she committed trespass when the authorities controlling the Capitol let her into the building? She did not, and thus is being persecuted by the Biden administration simply because she has strongly and publicly opposed its policies related to COVID.

During the Wuhan panic Dr. Gold formed a group called America’s Front Line Doctors (AFLD), whose mission is to “provide We The People with independent information from the world’s top experts in medicine and law so you can be empowered with facts, protect your health, and exert your inalienable and Constitutionally guaranteed rights.” Since those experts and their data put the lie to CDC’s panic over the Wuhan flu and its federal policy, the Biden administration resorted to force to try to silence her. The feds sent “over a dozen law enforcement agents armed with assault rifles [to break down] her door and arrest her inside her home.”

This abuse of power is so far not working. Not only is Gold or her organization refusing to shut up, they have begun a campaign to highlight her persecution, which provides specific information if people wish to send Gold their support, while she is in prison.

She began her sentence on July 27th, and should thus be released shortly after the new year, about the time a new Congress takes power. Wouldn’t it be fitting if that new Congress was no longer controlled by the Democrats who have eagerly endorsed her imprisonment? Wouldn’t it be grand if the American people fired those thugs in November, thus giving Gold the best present possible upon her release?

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

    After a couple years of the left’s jackbooted thugs killing people, burning cities and looting stores, immediately following Jan 6 I thought the left would never get any mileage out of this “insurrection” nonsense.

    Speaking of the left’s jackbooted thugs, this is unbelievable:

    They are showing their desperation regarding the upcoming midterms.

    Just to illustrate the Left’s intellectual bankruptcy, consider this headline ‘Driver in L.A.-area crash that killed 5, including pregnant woman, charged with 6 counts of murder’ A terribly tragedy and one can hope Justice will be swift and certain (although we’re talking LaLaLand). But consider this. California believes in abortion on demand because a fetus is not a human being. Then how can this woman be charged with murdering a fetus, I ask you.
