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 Americans: Conservative Supreme Court justices doxed and threatened by pro-abortion protesters

The left goes after the conservatives on the Supreme Court
The left goes after the conservatives on the Supreme Court

Persecution is now cool! The leaked draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito that suggested that Roe vs Wade will be overturned this year has resulted in another wave of persecution by pro-abortion activists, almost all of which are Democrats and leftists.

The first indication that the threats and hate were real was revealed two days after Alito’s draft was leaked when his office canceled a scheduled public appearance by him at judicial conference this week.

Though the office provided no explanation for the cancellation, the reasons soon became obvious when two different radical left organizations partnered to publish the home addresses of all six conservative Supreme Court justices, encouraging protesters to go there and use “a diversity of tactics” to “force accountability.”

In collaboration with Vigil for Democracy, Ruth Sent Us generated and posted a Google Maps graphic pinning what it claims are the home addresses of Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Roberts, where they presumably reside with their families. Vigil for Democracy titled the map, “Extremist Justices,” adding, “Where the six Christian fundamentalist Justices issue their shadow docket rulings.” The map has 3,185 views so far.

In Virginia, where three of the six justices live, protesting outside a private home is illegal.


One of these organizations, Ruth Sent Us, is offering to pay a stipend to anyone who joins their planned protest at these homes on May 11th. It is also using Twitter to plan protests on May 8 inside DC-area churches, during Sunday service.

I have not linked to these organizations because I do not wish to provide them any aid in their blacklisting and persecution. Worse, their effort is apparently garnering lots of support on the left, including groups endorsed by Black Lives Matter, Code Pink, Women’s March SF, Kavanaugh Off Our Court, and Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights.

All of these radical groups have violent histories, organizing protests and riots that have destroyed property and even killed innocent people. All are also closely linked to the Democratic Party.

Protesting is of course completely legal under the First Amendment. Threatening the homes and families of those you disagree with however has nothing to do with peaceful protest, and as noted in the quote above, is illegal in some jurisdictions. It is instead a form of violent bullying intended to intimidate. It has also become the standard operating tactic of the left. No one can ever disagree with them, and if you do, they claim the right to threaten you and your family with violence for daring to do so.

What makes these thugs any different than the storm-troopers of Adolf Hitler who looted and destroyed Jewish businesses in the 1930s? Nothing. They are goons aimed at destroying freedom and peaceful dissent for the sake of power.

We should all therefore expect violence and rioting on May 8th in churches across the country, as well as at the homes of these justices on May 11th. And should Alito’s draft opinion be confirmed by a Supreme Court vote, expect even more rioting and violence.

Worse, if not stopped this violence is inevitably going to lead to the murder and assassination. These leftists are so certain they are right that they feel justified to take any action to destroy their opponents. And since they have learned that the Democrats who control the local urban governments where they riot will not prosecute them, they are entirely justified in believing they have free rein to do just about anything for their cause.

Americans could change this, by simply voting out of power as many Democrats as possible, since it is very clear the Democratic Party is now using its political, legislative, and prosecutorial powers to further this persecution. That party no longer honors the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even the rule of law. It is merely power-hungry, and is using the power it has to expand that power in every way possible, mowing down anyone who gets in its way.

It will of course try to falsify any election results in November that defeat it, but it will find doing so impossible if it loses by overwhelming majorities, especially in local elections where its ability to commit voter fraud is more difficult. In fact, it is those local elections that are the most important, because it will be the state legislatures that will move to prevent further election fraud in future elections. Defeat the Democrats there, and the election process will be quickly cleaned up.

Even more important, a resounding defeat will finally force the Democratic Party to reform itself, dumping its thugs and petty dictators for more reasonable individuals willing to honor our Constitution and the freedoms it protects.

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

    Vote harderer? Are you serious? Who are the states supposed to appeal to when the state election apparatti cheat again, Dominion machines twiddle some bits, and another naked decision against the will of the American people is reached?

    I think that’s what this really is all about: This isn’t even real (why now, seriously?), it’s another leftist operation designed to provide cover for assassinating the remaining conservative supreme court justices. A few other effects too to stir up the leftist base.

    This nation is not a republic, it’s not democratic, and it isn’t sane. It’s run by evil gangsters.

    nesalpers: This may help you to better understand what is in fact ongoing in the country so you wont drive yourself nuts.

    #2 UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION, POLITICS AND POWER. ALL
    POTENTIALS EXIST AND THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES

    ​* What does the American Constitution primarily structure?

    The American Constitution primarily structures political warfare.

    * What does the American Constitution attempt to accomplish?

    The American Constitution attempts to accomplish the counterbalance to the nature of man as it relates to the abuse of power.

    * What do the mechanisms and rules contained within the American Constitution structure?

    The mechanisms and rules contained within the American Constitution structures the parameters within which the government is to operate and how the political warfare is to be fought.

    (And in that political warfare struggle all those who seek political empowerment are forced to some degree to reveal themselves to the people. And in that revealing, in that truth, the people are able to better direct and manage their government. And in that political warfare struggle, in that competition, the fittest political ideology survives and propagates. That is the concept anyway, there is a Darwinian rules of survival element to the American Constitution and what it structures)

    “….all six conservative Supreme Court justices,”
    When did 6 of them become ‘conservative?’

    The Constitution with or without the 16th & 17th Amendments??

  • Cotour

    Wayne:

    I am attempting to offer something by which to fundamentally understand what the Constitution is so that people learn to see it through that simple lens.

    The details and the complications that you cite are really another issue. First understand and agree what the fundamentals are then you can tackle the complications. If you start with the complications, then you become mired in the minutia and chaos in the discussion ensues. And in the end, you have made no progress and those who seek power are further empowered.

  • wayne

    C–
    –the 16th & 17th Amendments fundamentally transformed our system. (and obama completed it)
    The Feds are no longer constrained by the States (which created them) or by the pocketbook (you’re taxed by whim and not by apportionment).

  • wayne

    Ref:
    “Protesting is of course completely legal under the First Amendment. Threatening the homes and families of those you disagree with however has nothing to do with peaceful protest, and as noted in the quote above, is illegal in some jurisdictions.”

    –>Look up 18 US Code 1507:
    It’s totally illegal in this circumstance.

    “Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.”

  • Cotour

    Wayne: The 16th and 17th amendments are but details that have been instituted within the arena after the fact by those who have been politically empowered, and we can have a separate discussion about how they are positive or negative as it relates to America.

    My point is what fundamentally structures the arena, or the ring that the political warfare battle is fought within in America. The Constitution structures this arena or ring. And it is structured for a very specific reason.

    And when you choose to refuse to fight within the political warfare arena that the Constitution structures, as stretched to the max and the extreme as those parameters are taken by both political parties (Lawyers) who are the empowered warriors in this battle, then you have chaos and revolution and real blood and guts warfare. And that serves no one except your enemies.

    The Constitution is the vehicle the Founders structured to attempt to avoid that blood and guts type warfare and still move positively into the future with some semblance of order where our society and culture can prosper and survive.

    In my experience in having any political discussion if you can keep your argument first focused on these fundamental concepts that the Founders structured then most people will be disarmed because they are rational people. They may in the end be forced to once again run to the security of their default political position, but you have made progress because they have been forced to agree with you about those fundamental concepts.

    And if you can get someone to that point where their logic is disrupted, and they have been forced to hear their agreement with your points come out of their mouth then you have forced them out of their tribal dogma and the potential exists for them to make adjustments to their position.

    No yelling, no screaming.

    What are we witness to today? The Democrats have become soooooo desperate to retain political power they have had to contort themselves into very blatant lies and double speak that the people see right through. Why do you think the Democrats have to lie and manipulate (Read: steal) elections? If the Democrats were to be honest about what they intended the villagers would come after them with torches and pitch forks.

    What are the Democrats only issues? Racism, which they are the biggest proponent of, and abortion. And we can clearly see how that issue has been thrust into the national debate and that was done strategically.

    Understand the fundamentals that the Constitution sits upon and never lose a political argument, and gain respect from those who you are in conversation with. You, me and everyone else in the Pedestrian Realm are both the audience and we are soldiers to the Political Realm generals who battle in the political warfare that rages in the Congress and the Senate and the executive.

    DID YOUR MOTHER RAISE YOU TO BE A FOOL?

    ED KOCH, NYTIMES, DUPLICITY, BEARDED DECIET.

    (Copy and share with a gay friend, a Jewish friend and or a Democrat)

    If you are keeping tabs on what the now clearly insane “Progressive” extreme Left (D) is up to in NYC and around the country as they attempt to “Fundamentally change America”, you know that they now want to have removed the name of Ed Koch from the 59th street bridge in Manhattan. Why? Apparently because Koch did not fully and publicly embrace his gay nature, and he is accused in not doing enough for those afflicted with HIV / AIDS during its beginning and during his reign as mayor. (And remember, it was Fauci at the time that was in fact running policy regarding HIV / AIDS)

    NTY outs Ed Koch: He told friends ‘I want a boyfriend’ while pretending to date Jewish Miss America | Daily Mail Online

    Koch is accused of using Bess Myerson as his hetro beard to further deny his gay nature for political purposes. Ed Koch, much like the Founders of our country was / were men of their times, and that truth is extremely upsetting to the now insane “Progressive” wacky Left. The Lefts retro historical ability to point fingers of morality and political correctness is as usual a one sided and politically expedient for their now extremely Leftist radical views and politics. Journalism is truly dead, the NYT’s is but a collection of extremist, Leftist anti American political hit men and woman.

    So what exactly do we have going on here? We have the New York Times morally judging and outing a dead apparently gay man (who I by the way voted for twice because I thought he was an excellent mayor) The kind of politician that is sorely missed today in NYC and our country).

    Isn’t outing someone because of their sexual orientation a big moral no, no in America? Isn’t that a moral outrage? At least that is what most Democrat politicians in America would tell you, when it serves their purposes that is. This is but one more of the clearly outrageous, duplicitous and politically convenient actions of the NYT’s and its Leftist agenda. Just like when they ran cover for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi’s before and during WW2! You didnt know that, did you?

    The New York Times’ ‘Nazi Correspondent’ – Tablet Magazine

    And what do we have going on in our national politics? We have Joe Biden and his anti American insanity, fully supported by the now anti American insane Left (D) and the NYT’s being drafted by the Democrat party machine and being used as their Leftist beard and political tool. What’s old is new, when it fits your agenda that is.

    Ed Koch and the Founders of our country were men of their times and to reach back from our modern context and use their reality perspective against them is dishonest at the minimum and is plainly but a manipulation to promote a particular perverted modern day agenda which IMO happens to be but a convenient Leftist political manipulation. You like being manipulated?

    The Founders and what they were able to fashion in the form of our Constitution is without equal, they were true Progressives of their time and are to be seen as such and honored because of it. And it does not matter that they happened to have had a fair complexion or if any of them were gay. And so should Ed Koch be seen in the same light. No matter what the NYT’s or any other politically extreme, anti American, perverted manipulator says.

    Your gay? Your a Jew? Your a Democrat? You read the New York Times? You find lies and duplicity morally offensive? Well these political operators are using your morality as a weapon against you in order to promote their perverted political agenda, and that agenda is against you and your interests and your country. Did your mother raise you to be made a fool of? Happy Mothers day :)

    2020 THE MOST HONEST ELECTION EVER?

    (Copy and share with a friend, an American that votes)

    “The most honest election in American history.” Really? “But no judge has ever supported any evidence presented in court that there was anything wrong with the 2020 election that would have made a material difference in the result!” That is the mantra anyway.

    Really? What judge or legislature is the one who wants to set that highly volatile issue off in the country? None that I know of.

    You watch this and then tell me how honest the 2020 election was and if these documented activities, evidence in other words says about what really went on in the 2020 election. Nothing to see here?

    “2000 Mules”: https://youtu.be/Zu2dT8-FgPA

    What has happened to the American people’s ability to relatively honestly exercise their vote for the government they determine that they want and demand in THEIR country? (Thats the concept anyway).

    Remember: Politics is the dirtiest, filthiest most perverted and corrupt activity that human beings participate in. jgl

    And “By any means necessary” is not just a happy talk talking point, it is essential to winning in politics for some, especially in today’s high tech political environment. You see it, you know it, and it does not matter on which side of the political divide you fall on. When it’s for all the marbles your freedom and the ability to express your choice in our Democratic Republic in choosing your government and the direction of YOUR country, all that power, and of course the control over those trillions and trillions of dollars, any and all potentials exist.

    Are you happy with where our country is going and the kind of leadership you see before you? A result of the last election.

    It’s your country, you tell me what you see.

    COTTON CANDY: TOM HANKS SON, TOO FUNNY

    (Copy and share with someone, anyone :)

    Tom Hank’s sons “culturally appropriating” the Jamaican culture (?): https://youtu.be/SLxvEC8ZZ1s 1 min.

    The apple does not fall far from the acting tree, the kid is goood! Apologize for cultural appropriation? (Nah, now that would just be silly and playing into just one more fraudulent political agenda in the raging political warfare in America)

    And notice the woman interviewer, who happens to be a beautiful black woman, isn’t she also culturally appropriating the “white” American culture as she does her interview in a sparkly “white” Hollywood style dress with her beautiful long luxurious “white” hair style?

    And I bet she wears jeans (Levi Strauss, a white, German born Jew), and fancy shoes, high heels (1700’s, France), and expensive “Tennis” running shoes (1800’s, British navy), and she lives in a nice house and not a hut, and she drives a nice car. Most all of what she wears and lives in is historically designed and produced more than likely by “white” American designers and engineers. Who is appropriating who’s culture here?

    All ubiquitous symbols of a multi-cultural America, the foundation and real power of America and the American experience. Supplied to you and EVERYONE else exclusively by the Constitution, conceptualized and written by a bunch of white guys.

    Cultural appropriation? But one more fabricated bright line point of division that the extreme Left attempts to use in order to make some “Politically correct” BS point. Which whenever I hear these kinds of questions about cultural appropriation, I just think, what a reach. How weak and desperate it is. Silly really, but there are those who cling to such politically driven silliness of division. It’s all they have, and they are serious.

    Cultural appropriation below? I just see a beautiful woman. You tell me.

    I just received a message from someone who receives my emails, the one above that references the new movie “2000 Mules” in my post:

    “2020 THE MOST HONEST ELECTION EVER”.

    Apparently, someone posted it on some social media cite and I was informed that it was specifically removed.

    Maybe the new “Disinformation Czar” is already at work? Or its just the censors / Leftist operatives of the “Social Justice” and “Fundamental Change” in America just doing what they do.

    Why the need for an official agency of censorship in the government? Right now its just a private company doing what they choose to do, the Leftist Democrat want that to be codified into some form of law / law enforcement operation.

    Why are they so afraid? Because they know how bankrupt their movement is and they must attempt to control the story line. Lies, lies and more lies. Its the Democrat party machines only way.
