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: The American Heart Association censored by Twitter

Twitter: Home for censorship
Twitter: Home for censorship.

The new dark age of silencing: For Twitter, it doesn’t matter that the American Heart Association (AHA) is a respected medical organization. Nor does it matter that the AHA annually runs a conference where researchers present their research under rigorous rules that prevent shoddy work from being submitted.

No, all that matters to Twitter is that a paper happened to document the potential risks of the mRNA shots against COVID-19 to the cardiovascular systems of patients, risks that were significant and that should cause a serious reconsideration about the administration of these experimental drugs.

For Twitter, such research is unacceptable, and it must be banned!

Dr. Steven R. Gundry of the International Heart and Lung Institute wrote an abstract that raised a concern about mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 potentially raising the inflammatory markers in the blood. Gundry’s group has been conducting a long-term study of the risk for a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Patients in the clinic have received a clinically validated measurement of multiple blood protein biomarkers called the PULS score every 3-6 months for eight years. The study began before the pandemic and has accumulated a significant history for participants. But Twitter decided the information that the group found is dangerous. [emphasis mine]

For Twitter, nothing negative can ever be said about the jab. It is godlike, perfect, and must be supported in all publications. For scientists to publish research with the American Heart Association that dares raise questions about the jab’s safety is verboten, and thus Twitter’s all wise moderators, all obviously trained as doctors and scientists, acted to censor such a report, as shown in the screenshot below.

Twitter knows more than the American Heart Association

The absurdity of Twitter’s warning to the right is beyond insane. Twitter’s moderators have no training or capabilities for determining whether this research is “spammy” or “unsafe.” No, these uneducated dolts simply do not like the researchers’ conclusions, and therefore quickly moved like jack-booted thugs to censor that research.

The truth is that anyone with any competence at all who wants to be taken seriously must get off Twitter now. Even if Twitter did not censor the AHA, it actually stains the reputation of that respected organization to use Twitter.

Twitter is a childish cesspool of snarky stupidity. No scientist, researcher, respected journalist, or anyone who wants to be seen as a serious and legitimate source of information should use it. Dump it, now. It won’t hurt your traffic in any serious way, since no one of any importance uses it. The general public certainly doesn’t.

So, rather than fight Twitter, the AHA should consider this action by Twitter as guidepost, and use it to tell Twitter to go to hell. That would its right response to such an oppressive and stupid organization.

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

    Dude, you have to relax a little! I would hardly call this censoring as the screenshot you provided clearly shows its a warning and has a link to continue to the report. It is still available. Its highly doubtful anyone even looked at the information. I wouldn’t be surprised if key words raised a flag and the warning was automatically applied. You’re overblowing this one looking for a controversy where there isn’t one because it supports your narrative.

  • sippin_bourbon

    This is twitter playing games.
    I went to the AHA journal site, and found the page.
    No ads.
    No funny links.

    https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712

    There are other links, on Twitter to the same journal that get no such warning.
    The page layouts are the same, only content is different.

    You can agree or disagree with the science or the abstract, but what I do not trust is a millennial or a zoomer Twit sitting in a cube deciding what science is okay to question, and what is not.

  • “Jeck” … why does Twitter enjoy Section 230 protection from lawsuit, when it is editorializing like this?

    Their intervention will dissuade many from serious consideration of these scientific findings.

    Imagine. To peer across the world and know the enemy’s secrets. To place our thoughts into the minds of your leaders. Make your teachers teach the true version of history, your soldiers attack on our command. We’ll be everywhere at once, more powerful than a whisper, invading your dreams, thinking your thoughts for you while you sleep. We will change you, Dr. Jones, all of you, from the inside. We will turn you into us. And the best part? You won’t even know it’s happening.

    … Col. Dr. Irina Spalko, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    Who knew that you didn’t need an alien crystal skull to make that happen … but a mere social-media platform?

    We don’t have to imagine. These monopolistic platforms have the power to shape opinions under the guise of their benign appearance of “neutrality” …

    … as much as by what they DON’T report … or allow to be presented unfiltered … as what they do report.

  • elphupphy

    Any use of the current social media platforms only plays into the hands of the liberals. There is no truth except their truth, no opinions other than theirs. If you want to believe and support that type of thinking, continue to use social media platforms. If you wish to speak and think for yourself, make your own decisions and believe what you want to, get off the social media platforms and stay off. It’s as simple as that.

  • Max

    Everyone wonders if Twitter has any doctors on their staff to make these decisions, they do. The daughter Fauci (Who works for Twitter) calls her father dr. Fauci (Who is the god of science and all knowing) on who to ban and what is a admissible. Her mother who is over the “nations ethics” gives her permission (while admiring how much Dr. Mengele did for science)

    As the daughter of “The science God”, who can deny her? If her coworkers at Twitter did, they would be blacklisted and fired or worse. Remember, they even baned a sitting president! Now that’s real power!

    From a site dedicated to medical censorship;

    “The study was published in the AHA journal Circulation, and it clearly explains how mRNA (messenger RNA) Chinese Virus injections “dramatically increase endothelial inflammatory markers,” thus increasing the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).”

    “Mind you, this is an official study published by the AHA, which if it supported the jab narrative would be perfectly fine with Twitter’s censors. However, because it defies fake government “doctor” Tony Fauci’s guidelines for the plandemic, the study is no longer allowed on Twitter”

    https://www.medicalcensorship.com/2021-12-04-twitter-aha-science-unsafe-mrna-vaccines-heart-damage.html#

    Read the link find out how Twitter used the excuse of “several typographical errors”
    “To jump all over this and took the opportunity to further claim erroneously that the study itself is “potentially spammy or unsafe” and could contain “malicious links that could steal personal information or harm electronic devices.”

    “Twitter further insisted that the study could “mislead people or disrupt their experience” because it supposedly contains “violent or misleading content that could lead to real-world harm”

    Oh my…

    But it gets better, people who disagree with the narrative will be hunted down… A different article from the same website.

    “Shamed National Institutes of Health (NIH) ringleader Francis Collins is calling for a totalitarian police state to “track down” and deliver “justice” to people whom he personally believes are guilty of spreading “disinformation” about the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).”
    “Collins, by the way, was appointed to his post by Barack Hussein Obama. Back in October, Collins conveniently announced that he was resigning right as it was coming to light that he committed treason against the United States.

    It turns out that Collins sat on the advisory board of a conference sponsored by a communist Chinese military genomics firm called BGI Genomics, which also just so happens to be directly tied to Fauci as well.

    The FBI determined that BGI, and thus Collins and Fauci, are both financially tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its military”

    That deserves another “Oh My”

    Mitch McConnell and his Chinese wife and masters have fully supported the Democrats desire to have no restrictions on whatever they want… Including vaccine mandates, even for children (a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist) it’s for another purpose, the new technocrat society must have full control.

    https://truthunmuted.org/the-real-agenda-behind-mad-push-to-inject-every-child-for-covid/

    I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Pfizer wants to hide the data till the end of the century or for at least 55 years. Judge disagreed and allowed a partial release with the freedom of information act.
    https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf

    Scroll down to page 30 for the list of side effects, be prepared for densely packed list that is nine pages long… My third “OH MY”

    A journalist breaks it down for us, good links.
    “Court-Ordered Pfizer Documents They Tried To Have Sealed For 55 years Show 1223 Deaths, 158,000 Adverse Events in 90 Days Post EUA Release
    The Most Shocking Document Release Of The Last 100 years”

    Jeck D. said;
    “Dude, you have to relax a little!”
    “You’re overblowing this one looking for a controversy where there isn’t one because it supports your narrative”

    I couldn’t disagree more, if anything, the situation is more dire than we ever thought. The complete breakdown of our society from every angle. The changing of our very DNA which will be passed on to our children to shorten life spans in the name of conserving resources and to make a class of Subhumans (us, versus them) from the ruling class making it easier to give out life and death decisions based upon the whim of the demigods. You will own nothing, and be happy. (cattle have no need of possessions)

    Upon checking other websites, there’s a lot of news I’ve been unable to re-search until my day’s off.

    Pharmaceuticals are leading a push to undo whistleblower laws.
    https://theintercept.com/2021/11/29/pfizer-whistleblower-reform-corporate-fraud/
    They’ve made billions upon billions enjoying the freedom of no responsibility for the faulty useless product that doesn’t prevent anything that it’s advertised for, but kills 4 people for every 1 that it “temporarily” helps because it is labeled as vaccines.
    Now they all want an exemption for all the products that they make, so they can’t be held responsible (and pay out billions more) to the people who use their harmful fraudulent products. There’s a list on this website of other industries signing on to make higher corporate profits, without having to be worried about millions in jury awards for the fraud and irresponsible products or services. Making lawsuits a thing of the past.

    Kennedy took a trip to Louisiana to testify before a committee on vaccinating children. Although the committee followed the science… Voting 13 to 2 against mandated vaccination for children five and above… The governor is going to ignore them for a promised political position with Joe Biden Administration. Killing children for advancement, why am I not surprised.
    Here is the article written by the scientist who developed MRNA… And Robert Kennedy’s 20 minute address with the latest data.
