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


Today’s blacklisted American: Pernicious anti-white bigotry controls the government in Seattle

Seattle: dedicated to segregation!
Seattle, controlled by Democrats and dedicated to the new segregation!

“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” Because of the continuous and never-ending racial bigotry that is now normal in Seattle and which eventually forced him from his city job, Joshua Diemert has sued for $300,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.

You can read the lawsuit here [pdf].

The list of abuses against Diemert is beyond horrible. Simply because he is white he was forced to resign a supervisor position so that two unqualified minorities could replace him, was then denied later promotions, then investigated for no reason, and was later accused of being a genocidal Nazi while being forced to attend critical race theory classes that routinely labeled all whites as bigots. As only one small example, consider these details from his complaint:

The City also strongly encouraged Mr. Diemert to participate in race-based affinity groups, caucuses, and employee resource groups at the unit and department levels despite his repeated objections to the exercises and materials.

For example, Mr. Diemert was invited to attend a discussion on “white racial literacy,” which was “open to all people who identify as white in HSD. [Human Services Department]” On another occasion, he received an invitation from Owen Kajfasz, a senior data analyst with the City, to a “White Caucus” meeting, which asked attendees to read an article entitled, “White People Are Cowards.”

The City’s Office for Civil Rights promotes segregated training for City employees. In June 2020, the Office of Civil Rights emailed Mr. Diemert stating that it was hosting a training on “Internalized Racial Superiority,” and that this was “specifically targeted for White employees.” The training focused on examining white employees’ “complicity in the system of white supremacy,” and how white employees “internalize and reinforce” racism. The goal of the training was to turn these employees into white “accomplices” who would interrupt the “whiteness” that they saw in their colleagues.

Diemert eventually resigned from his job because of this harassment and abuse, and thus is now suing. Whether he can win is unknown, considering the new anti-white Jim Crow culture we now live under.

The point of this story however is not Diemert’s horrible treatment, but how normal it now is in Seattle. Below are just a few of the blacklist stories from Seattle that I’ve described in just the past two years:

The city is entirely controlled by the Democratic Party, which sadly has now returned to its roots of slavery and hate of the 1800s. It has thus re-established the segregated South here in the American northwest. Unlike the old South, however, where the victims were blacks, now the victims are whites. There is no difference however. In both cases race rules, and determines the winners and losers.

Nor can simply exposing this bigotry help defeat it. The government there is utterly corrupt, and will do whatever it can to maintain control, including forging fake results in elections. On top of this, the decent citizenry — both white and black — is cowed, and will not do anything to fight. Diemert’s effort to resist these ugly policies is the exception to the rule. Most people of all races now go long silently, simply to get along. The whites have become the subserviant “boy” that the bosses call when they need the garbage cleaned. And these “boys” better not dare try to sit at the front of the bus.

No, these white niggers have got to sit in the back, and keep their damn mouths shut. It is only right, because past bigotry demands new bigotry now!

The evil we see here is only beginning. Eventually whites will fight back hard, and in ways that are as ugly, if only in self-defense. Minorities might claim they are afraid of “white supremacy” and a race war, but if so they are showing it in the strangest way, doing everything they can to encourage such things in the future.

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 the past two weeks has the 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 refuses 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.

    “open to all people who identify as white in HSD. [Human Services Department]”

    Hmmm… would’ve been interesting to see what would have happened if he declared that he identified as black?

  • Minorities might claim they are afraid of “white supremacy” and a race war, but if so they are showing it in the strangest way, doing everything they can to encourage such things in the future.

    I’ve been saying this for years. How do you make something very few people care about into a major issue: Incessantly tell them it is the most important thing EVAH!

    Be careful what you ask for – especially when it is “democracy” (i.e. majority rules)

    For a quick overview on Baking Powder, see:

    in brief: “baking powder is baking soda to which an acid and a filler are added. once you add water, the soda and acid go into solution producing carbon dioxide which leavens your baked good.”
    and “..there are 6 major types of baking powder…”

    “The whites have become the subserviant “boy” that the bosses call ”

    Remember the bosses are mostly white. It’s whites that have mostly been behind CRT, a white person wrote “White Privilege”.
    Why? A major incentive is money. Money from selling books, getting grants, offering consulting services.
    But why do people and institutions pay? I think it’s a form of the old “White Man’s Burden”, an obligation for the superior whites to help the lesser races. It’s all about racism no matter what angle you look at it.
    And ultimately blacks will suffer even without a white backlash. It’s been happening in liberal controlled areas for 50 years. Black kids infused with anger and resentment, not being taught to focus on education and self discipline, criminal behavior being tolerated and even celebrated.

    BTW, Bob a question (genuine question, no snark). I see you used the “n-word” spelled out. I’m curious given the firm rules on avoiding offensive language why you chose to spell out that word.

  • Mitch S: “nigger” is not an obscenity. It is an ugly word that should not be used against any individual, but in this situation it describes exactly the ugly way this person was treated, as well as how these leftist thugs want all whites treated.

    I also despise the phrase “the N-word.” I won’t play that stupid game, which is also why I don’t use fake terms like “transgender” and “progressive” and “native American”. These meaningless terms were created by the left to hide meaning and manipulate us. I will not be made a tool.

    We also have to understand what obscenities really are. They are not merely ugly words, but meaningless expressions of strong mindless emotion. I don’t want my readers to use such for two reasons. One, it makes the discussion coarse, and two, it acts to block thought.

    Using “nigger” however in the proper context and with thought can only strengthen the point. Which is exactly why I used it here. I don’t wish to use such terms often, but when necessary truth must be stated, without fear.

  • Dave Walden

    Excellent response, Bob! After all, is not irrational fear of truth (“strong mindless, emotion”) not merely neurosis but actual psychosis?

  • GWB

    he was forced to resign a supervisor position so that two unqualified minorities could replace him
    Encountered that in the mid-80s. I lost a training position to two minorities who hadn’t even taken the requisite course, yet. One of those failed to pass the course, entirely. The other turned down the instructor position.

    Unlike the old South, however, where the victims were blacks, now the victims are whites.
    Oh, the blacks get hurt, too. They are reverted to a tribal culture that will prevent them from advancing in the new Progressive world. They will get endless hand-outs that drag at them like an anchor. And they will always be second-class citizens. The real difference is they are being taught to revel in it.

    The whites have become the subserviant “boy” that the bosses call when they need the garbage cleaned.
    No, they’re the ones the elites will call when they need code written or rockets to fly. They will call on those second-class citizens for picking up the garbage. Unless the job can be tokenized – the manager of the coders will be black, regardless of whether he knows anything about coding. But they will never advance on any basis other than affinity to the Progressive shibboleths and the color of their skin.

    but if so they are showing it in the strangest way
    While some number of the “oppressed” groups are jonesing for a race war, it’s really the white, upper-class Progressive twits who are driving it and clamoring for it. And they honestly don’t care if the lesser people die in said race war, as long as it brings about their utopia.

    So are the now subservient whites “wiggers” not “niggers”?

    WHATS GOING ON IN AMERICA TODAY?

    When the radical Leftist operators, the enemy within, become too successful in their manipulations in whatever environment they operate this is what must eventually happen: Brazil:

    “Brazil Military is Moving into Place”

    “In an unusual step for the military, the Army has invaded favelas of Rio de Janeiro and killed top leaders of the Commando Vermelho (Red Command) drug cartel”

    The Brazilian elections have apparently been usurped by the election system that has been installed to determine the results of elections. Stalin would be proud.

    The Left uses the rules and laws that they craft to their advantage, and they are in place to ensure that things roll their way. Sound familiar?

    Make of that what you will and apply it where you think it applicable.
    —–
    The word “Ni**er”?

    But one more incendiary Leftist / Marxist word of manipulation in order to draw bright lines between populations within America.

    Related:

    “CA Gov. Gavin Newsom pushes for reparations for descendants of slaves”

    “California panel estimates $569 billion in reparations is owed to black residents”

    What does it mean? Democrat governor Gavin Newsome nakedly panders heavily to a segment of the black population of the country and seeks the 2024 Democrat nomination for president.

    Just one very effective and inexpensive PR mass communication way to send a virtue signal to a segment of the population in order to secure that spot on the Democrat ticket and possibly win the presidency.

    Like it or not, the now radical Leftist Democrat party machine and the Leftist Globalist agenda is winning in America. (Just like Brazil.)

    And the Republican response to these multi-faceted death by a thousand cuts political attacks and strategy? After barely gaining a majority in the Congress and control over the budget the new Republican leadership apparently agree to a continuing resolution and allow 87 thousand new IRS agents to be hired because they are being threatened with being blamed for a government shutdown. Have a good lawyer and accountant? Well, you are going to need one.

    IMO probably one of the most productive things that government can do is shut down and stop “Helping”.

    The radical manipulative Leftists in America are growing in strength and influence and those who are in position to counter their efforts are owned and or intimidated in many ways by them and they fear them. Not good.

    IMO probably one of the most productive things that government can do is shut down and stop “Helping”.

    But, but, do you want the government to shut down?

    YES!

  • Cotour

    A soon as your opponent understands where you will not ever go, then they own you and all negotiations are over.

    And THAT is exactly what Trump understood and used to HIS great advantage. (“Trumps crazy, don’t piss him off”)

    You must be willing to or perceived to be willing to “Go there”.

    If not, then you can never prevail.

    Until that happens in the Republican party then we are all just so many owned and managed human sheep.

  • Cotour: In this we are in complete agreement. I have received several emails begging me to remove “that word” from this post, out of fear its mere existence here will be used against me.

    As you say, I will not be an “owned and managed human sheep.” I am very clear about my meaning. If I am to be banned for being an intelligent and clear-thinking person, than so be it. I will at least sleep at night knowing I was not a sheep.

  • Cotour

    “In Orwell’s novel, all citizens of Oceania are monitored by cameras, are fed fabricated news stories by the government, are forced to worship a mythical government leader called Big Brother, are indoctrinated to believe nonsense statements (the mantra “WAR IS PEACE, SLAVERY IS FREEDOM, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”), and are subject to torture and execution if they question the order of things.”

    Orwell’s 1984 is the radical Lefts play book.

    Nothing new under the sun.

    Be not a sheep and never allow your enemy, the enemy of your freedom to be able to define and limit you.

  • Cotour wrote, “Be not a sheep and never allow your enemy, the enemy of your freedom to be able to define and limit you.”

    While true, I would amend this. Be not a sheep and never allow anyone to define and limit you, even your friends. If they are true friends, they will agree, and want you to do the same for them.

    This is what freedom really is. Americans need to rediscover it.

  • Cotour

    I draw no lines as you have (and I fully understand why you draw those lines given your real world Covid / “vaccine” experience with those who you thought were your friends)

    My statement is simple and all inclusive. “KISS”.

    I will remind you and everyone else here where all of this emanates from and what drives it: Strategy Over Morality.

    “EXPLANATION: Strategy Over Morality describes a two-tiered “conversation” between a Public and their Politically Empowered Leadership where the Public believes there is only a single, no tiered conversation occurring. And that single conversation is assumed by the Public to relate to the Public’s morality and truth model perspective.

    ​CONCLUSION: The public lives and operates under a subjective moral code or within a “Pedestrian Realm” perspective which they assume their leadership which exists within the “Political Realm” is constrained by. This is a subjective false perspective conclusion on the part of the public. Leadership at its existential core is not about morality, truth and honesty. Politically empowered Political Realm leadership is about the fundamental exercise of power and “Its” subjective agenda interests and “It’s” political power prevailing.” jgl

  • Cotour

    IMO the prime real-world real time enemy of America as founded:

    “Leftist billionaire George Soros used his charities to build ties with hundreds of media organizations around the world involved in news and activist media. The journalism and activist media groups Soros supports mold public opinion on practically every continent and in many languages. They also insulate him from inquiry because reporters see him as an ally, not a target for investigation.”

    “The 92-year-old philanthropist’s multimillion-dollar efforts promoting his bizarre “open society” agenda encompass some of the most radical leftist ideas on abortion, Marxist economics, anti-Americanism, defunding the police, environmental extremism and LGBT fanaticism. ”

    On one level the man puts his money where his mouth is.

    On the other he and his now Leftist media allies are an existential threat to the country. Now what?
