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: Google, Paypal, Venmo team up to blacklist a gay organization

Google loves blacklisting, along with its teammates Paypal,Venmo, and Twitter

Blacklists are back and big tech likes ’em: Apparently because the homosexual advocacy group Gays Against Groomers opposes the exposure of queer ideology to little children, this week the big social media companies Google, Paypal, and Venmo did a coordinated crack down on the group, shuttering its accounts all within one day’s time.

Google, Paypal and Venmo shut down accounts affiliated with Gays Against Groomers, a Twitter account that is critical of gender ideology, particularly in regard to children. Venmo shut down the account early Tuesday morning, and Paypal blocked the account from its services minutes later, according to an email shared by the account’s founder Jamie Michell; Google shut down her account, including her email address, the following morning, according to a screenshot and an email.

Google reinstated the account the next day, but provided no credible explanation for its actions, at all.

In July this same organization had also been suspended by Twitter. The account was only reinstated when the group agreed to replace the letter “o” in “Groomers” with graphic eyeballs. It appears Twitter did not like the use of the word “groomers”, since it described precisely what queer advocates are doing when they espouse their perverse sexual behavior to young children.

The organization had been using its Twitter account to publicize examples where queer advocates performed sexually in front of kids. As it notes on its webpage:

Gays Against Groomers is a coalition of gay people who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children under the guise of “LGBTQIA+”

Our community that once preached love and acceptance of others has been hijacked by radical activists who are now pushing extreme concepts onto society, specifically targeting children in recent years. The overwhelming majority of gay people are against what the community has transformed into, and we do not accept the political movement pushing their agenda in our name.

Gays Against Groomers directly opposes the sexualization and indoctrination of children. This includes drag queen story hours, drag shows involving children, the transitioning and medicalization of minors, and gender theory being taught in the classroom.

Such a common sense position is now very much forbidden by the radical left and its queer faction, and to dare say such things — even if you are a former member of the left’s identity-based coalition — is now cause for banning, blacklisting, and censorship by these big tech companies. Freedom of speech is now so passé.

Instead, freedom of speech for leftist companies like Google, Paypal, Twitter, and Venmo is only reserved for the leftist political allies of these big tech companies. Only the left and its worse perverts are allowed the right to speak. All others must shut up.

Nor is this story an outlier. We now have clear evidence, based on 950 pages of internal Google documents leaked to the public, that Google has been aggressively blacklisting many conservative websites for years. Those same leaked documents also showed the company had taken direct action to use its domination as the number internet search engine to help Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump in the 2016 election, then expanded that effort for 2020 to further help Democrats win elections while hindering Republicans and its allies.

I once again ask, why the hell are you using Google as your search engine? It takes less than ten seconds to switch your browser’s default search engine to something else. Moreover, if you use gmail you better reconsider, quick. Google shut down the email account of Gays Against Groomers in an instant, for no understandable reason. It can — and will — do the same to you, at any time, should one of its many leftist employees read something you say that he or she doesn’t like. You will be gone, and will then have to fight hard just to get your emails back.

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

    They ban the word “Groomers” yet ate perfectly comfortable with the term “Trumpers” (My response when being called such is to respond “Yes, I am and proud of it”. which gobsmacks them as they can not think of a worse insult and to have it roll off my back…)

    This is in line with the feminist movement.
    You can be a free independent feminist, so long as you do as your told and fall in line with the feminist agenda.

    Here they are tell them they can be gay, so long as they fully support the LGBTQLOST agenda.

    And don’t you dare step out of line.

  • Since my move out of Denver, I’ve been amazed by the number of people I’ve left behind asking, “but what about being gay?” I always tell them, it’s much easier being a gay Trump supporter in South Dakota than it was in Denver.

  • If I were on Twitter, I’m sure they would ban my term for Mr. Biden:

    You’ll wonder where your freedom went, when you’re under the rule of the Pseudodent !!!

  • Cotour

    Might I suggest a possible alternate interpretation?

    Pseudo: “being apparently rather than actually as stated ”

    President: “the elected head of a republic:”

    Biden (Jackass) is in fact actually the elected president, fair election or not. BUT.

    He is but the facade, the place holder, the Constitutionally required legal facilitator for those who are his betters behind the scenes that actually are driving the un and anti-American agenda in the Democrat party machine.

    I think the term might more accurately be Biden is the “Facadident”?

    And what boiled down is this un and anti-America as founded agenda about? Ultimately IMO it is about the destruction of the middle class who those in the Political Realm must always pander to and beg for their politically empowering votes. A politically powerful middle class is an inconvenient problem.

    The Democrats seek to eliminate the bother of the vote and the power wielded by the middle class in America by making everyone equally poor and dependent on the government being led by those who are intellectually “superior” due to their advanced education status provided by the stellar Leftist lead universities and indoctrination centers.

    What were the Khmere Rouge about in Cambodia?

    “The brutal regime, in power from 1975-1979, claimed the lives of up to two million people. Under the Marxist leader Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge tried to take Cambodia back to the Middle Ages, forcing millions of people from the cities to work on communal farms in the countryside.

    But this dramatic attempt at social engineering had a terrible cost. Whole families died from execution, starvation, disease and overwork.”.

    The Khmere Rouge sought to literally destroy the growing more educated and affluent middle class in Cambodia thus eliminating any opposition of any consequence to their political power dominance.

    That is how Marxists and Communists do business. And that is essentially what we are witness to in America today, same concept. What’s old is new.

    *IF* the Democrats have not yet learned to control the results of all major elections throughout the country we are going to see a massive sea change in the political power balance in America and it will decimate the Democrat party machine at least in the short term.

    And if they have indeed learned to control the results of elections throughout the country? You tell me.

    IMO, November 8th, 2022, is a sea change moment in the American timeline.

    “By any means necessary”, means just that, up to and including murder IMO.

    What’s going on is psychological warfare techniques developed over decades (millennia?) to dehumanize people and destroy a nation.

    And of course a whole lot of the satanic underlying that.

    What these evil monsters are doing to our children is unforgiveable.

    “Facebook removes suspected secret US military ops accounts; Pentagon orders massive review: Report”
    • “A new report on Monday revealed Facebook removed fake accounts suspected of being used by the U.S. military for secret psychological operations”
    • “Last week, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl directed top military officials to turn over information related to online psychological operations by October.”

    Objectify your enemy.

    It is much easier from a moral point of view to destroy what is not human.

    The Democrat party operatives immersed in Globalist Marxist thought process in this way can justify anything in order to rectify, from their point of view America.

    War? Its political warfare all day and every day in America, you are just witness to the most extreme forms of it today.

    Remember, there are no guarantees. B.F.: “A republic if you can keep it”.

  • Cotour

    But in that warfare, those in the Political Realm are forced to reveal themselves to those whose country they are empowered to run.

    And that in the end is the theory behind the Constitution, forcing all political players to reveal themselves so the public can choose the direction that they desire.

    And that is the beauty of the Constitution, built for battle.

    At what point does removing speech you simply do not like turn on you? It always does. Always.

    Without the opposing view point science stagnates. Along with everything else. How advanced would any of the sciences be if we stopped the opposing views and acted like they did not exist?

    Your society would totally stagnate. Everything from art to the hard sciences. All philosophies would be reduced to one.

  • Cotour

    “All philosophies would be reduced to one.”

    And that is the point of the radical Left.

    The radical left is forcing their agenda and the agenda is focused on destroying what is and has been in America and replacing it with what “Should” be in their opinion.

    And they are pushing as hard as they can while they are in possession of at least some of the power to do so.

    But like you said, it always turns on you. And then there must be force applied and then we are off to the races.

    It’s the nature of the oppression and control beast.
