Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above.


Today’s blacklisted Americans: Private school makes enemies list of parents

Lovett ememies list
Click for original.

Blacklists are back and the Democrats (and their supporters) have got ’em: Two officials at the Lovett School, an expensive private K-12 school in the Atlanta area, have assembled an enemies list of “insubordinate” parents.

The picture to the right is a screen capture of an email sent to one of these officials, Jennifer Boutte, director of community relations, showing the list of parent enemies (blurred out to protect the privacy of these individuals). In it one official, Cholle [sp?] Wabrok, thanked Boutte for apparently assembling the list, adding

It is long overdue. I am disgusted by some of these parents, need to prioritize our efforts as some have too much influence. Our watch list — to keep hard-copy only?


I think it bears repeating that Boutte is listed as the school’s director of community relations. It is her job to foster good relations, not develop blacklists to blackball some parents because she doesn’t like their opinions.

Since this email was made public, the head of the school’s Broad of Trustees, John Knox, sent out an email emphatically denying its legitimacy, claiming it is a fabrication. While this claim might be so, it is not unreasonable to doubt his word, considering the amount of aggressive blackballing school officials nationwide have done in fighting parent protests, often accompanied by slanders and lies against those parents. Furthermore, as noted in this article, “The school’s website lists a number of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, including affinity groups,” focused expressly on the Marxist bigoted agenda of critical race theory (CRT) dressed up with the now standard title “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”

If Lovett’s administrators think this racist program — designed to foster hate between the races — is a good idea, than we are perfectly within our rights to be skeptical of them. In fact, that this school encourages CRT suggests there already are a lot of parents expressing objections to the school, which makes this list’s existence all the more likely.

The story probably needs a few more days to play out. And even if the school’s claims turn out to be true, I wonder why any parent would want to send their children there, considering the school is still teaching CRT to the little kids under its care.

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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

    Ah! A list of 50, maybe 70 parents…
    Hope One is a Lawyer.
    But this number could be the Profit margin of the Operation…..
    Bye Bye!

    … an enemies list of “insubordinate” parents”

    While you’re probably right, and this is exactly what the list is, it’s worth remembering that there are other kinds of problem parents — “helicopter” parents, “my little darling can do no wrong” parents, etc. Sometimes the parent(s) really is/are a legitimate problem.

    Ref: Lovett School.

    Har– they just made my list of people & organizations to never forget,
    (In the Alternate Universe, they’ve all been rendered off-shore, and there were no survivors…)

    From the founders obituary:
    “Mrs. Lovett taught grammar and high school several years before founding a small school for first and second grade children in 1916. In 1926 the Lovett School officially began with 20 students. She was administrator of the school until her retirement in 1954 when ownership of the school passed into the hands of the Cathedral of St. Philip.”

    Q: What organization owns the school right now?

  • Jeff Wright

    It’s in public and private schools now,

  • Col Beausabre

    Keep in mind the real enemy’s list from Lovett when The Revolution Comes….

  • Alton

    Also Private Christian Schools Too……

    So far I have not seen it in reports on private Islamic or Jewish established schools.

    “So far I have not seen it in reports on private Islamic or Jewish established schools.”

    I don’t think madrasa’s need to teach it, it’s part of their culture.

    A CHILD OF DAVOS, THE NEW WORLD ORDER SPEAKS

    If you have ever wondered what the Globalist agenda actually was about and what was intended by it but have never really heard it verbalized by a sitting politically empowered world leader, wonder no more. Bill Maher quoting Justin Trudeau:

    https://youtu.be/JWU8Bi8FqQg 1 min.

    Even Bill Maher is disgusted and disturbed by the likes of the oh so very righteous Globalist elite, Justin Trudeau.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10505489/Bill-Maher-says-Freedom-Convoy-truckers-right-pissed-elitists.html

    And this is exactly what those in the Globalist “New World Order”, Great Reset, Build Back Better set actually think. They think just like Hitler. Only Justin Trudeau in his frustration said it out loud for all to hear and know. This is in fact ultimately what the Globalist agenda is all about. And I am not observing and saying this, its Bill Maher, Liberal media commentator saying it.

    People not “Like” them: “Take up space”, “Ignore science”, “We (world leaders) have to make a choice”, “Do we tolerate these people?”, they “Hold unacceptable views”. All absolutely at 180-degree odds to all civilized first world country’s stated human civil Rights declarations. Especially the Canadians.

    This is the Prime Minister of Canada being directly quoted and speaking in Hitlerian terms of not tolerating those who he finds unacceptable. What’s next? Elimination? Extermination? Internment / “reeducation” camps for those who Globalist world leaders don’t particularly like?

    Justin Trudeau, an intolerant fraud, a racist and a dangerous petulant soy man, a full blood child of Davos, Klaus Schwab, George Soros and the Globalist “New World Order”. And the Liberal now Leftist driven Democrat party machine in America think in very similar lock step terms.

    WHATS GOING ON? YOU REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND?

    (Share with a friend)

    What is all of the counter intuitive and confrontational politics all about in America today? I do not really think that the everyday American really understands.

    Boiled down it’s all about, and those on the Left of the political divide have plainly stated this as has former president Barack Obama, philosophical Marxist. It’s all about “The fundamental transformation of America”. You heard those words but really have not taken the time to actually understand exactly what they mean or what was intended. You thought it was all just hollow idealistic political rhetoric designed to draw bright idealistic political lines.

    But as you can now plainly see that those who say these things are now in the position to enforce their ideology and install it in your life directly. And what exactly does that mean?

    It means that everything that you understand as being rational thinking regarding your life, crime, housing, the economy, education, your health, the First Amendment as well as the Second Amendment and the Constitution that structures it all is fundamentally flawed and racist and all of it must be torn down thrown away and rebuilt.

    And where does this kind of thinking come from? The now politically empowered Liberals and Leftists, mostly all Democrats and RINO’s that now inhabit those high levels of political power and big tech corporate media that are now following the Globalist agenda. And what does the Globalist Agenda intend? The total control of the population of the planet earth.

    You have heard of George Soros and how he has bought and paid for all of the Leftist pro crime, no bail, no jail district attorneys in America?

    George Soros-funded DAs oversee big cities with skyrocketing crime – Washington Times

    The accusation that George Soros is spending his money to destroy and reshape America is no longer speculation, it is reality. One more “Conspiracy” theory from yesterday that turns out to be supportable and true by hard evidence today.

    And who else on the world stage is Mr. Soros aligned with? The World Economic Forum and its leader, Klaus Schwabe, Globalist. These are the individuals who seek to reshape the world and tear down America in order that things run “Properly”. Keeping in mind that both these men are of German heritage, and you can take that wherever you like.

    What you see today, the active destroying of the American economy, government telling you what has to be injected into your body, the refusal of law enforcement for violent criminals to be prosecuted and controlled, open borders flooding illegals into the country, flooding the country with deadly drugs, administrators and teachers telling parents that they have no business having a say in what their children are taught in school. It’s a very long list.

    My prediction today, 2/14/22: The Democrat party machine with the help of their big tech media censor ally’s will not allow a midterm election to take place that will eliminate the Left from political power. Whether it by delegitimizing the election or a call for Marshall law being declared because of the threat of “Domestic Terrorism”, the 2022 midterm elections may not take place. Desperation will demand this IMO.

    Boiled down, America and its Constitution must be destroyed in order that these Globalists succeed. That is the one thing that stands in their way. This is your new reality if you the American people allow it. I’m not making any of this up, it is all right in front of your own unbelieving eyeballs, live and in full and vivid color.

    Klaus Schwab: “We must prepare for an angrier world”. And why exactly is the world angrier?
