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.


“We need to start killing people.”

This story has been making the rounds, but I held off posting it because I wanted some confirmation that it was real. It is. At a anti-Trump rally this weekend in Seattle one speaker made it very clear what she wanted:

“F**k white supremacy. F**k the U.S. empire” the speaker attacks capitalism. “You know what America thrives off of? Capitalism,” the speaker says, adding, “We use our mother=f**king, f**king black and brown bodies to live and survive while white people own f**king properties after that.” But the speaker has a solution for this problem, “So you know what we need to do? We need to start giving f**king money.” The rant continues, “White people, give your f**king money, your f**king house, your f**king property, we need it f**king all. You need to reparate black and indigenous people right now.”

A minute or so later, the speaker takes it up a notch saying, “And we need to start killing people. First off, we need to start killing the White House. The White House must die.” [emphasis mine]

The worst part? The speaker claimed she was a preschool teacher who intended to “f**king radicalize mother-f**king four year olds and five year olds.” Imagine her as the teacher of your toddler. Every other word is a curse word, and the words in-between are filled with hate.

After the Tucson shooting in 2011, the left made a big deal about the terrible incivility of the right. Obama even came to Tucson and gave a speech about the need for civility. The trouble is, the left never intended to rein in its own incivility. That crudeness to them is perfectly okay. Their goal was merely to shut down any opposition. Now they are moving to escalate their own crudeness towards violence, because no opposition to them can be tolerated.

And people wonder why I use the word fascism to describe this behavior.

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

    Oh, the killing game would make it all very easy! I really hope the left starts it, that for once they act according to their words.

  • Garry

    When every other word you use is a curse word, you know that your audience will understand at least half of what you say.

    LocalFluff,
    It has already started, with the killing of police officers, as incited by the Only Black Lives Matter groups. Yet there has been no outrage from the left or the news media (but I repeat myself). Lord only knows how many white civilians are already being murdered because of the Only BLM movement.

  • ken anthony

    They’ve always fantasized about having the red button (can’t find the video.)

    They have a losing argument, so violence is all they have.

  • Joe

    This so very much reminds me of the hate Palestinians teach their children, where do these supposedly educated people learn this hate, what circumstance causes all of this vitriol, is this from the brainwashing from the educational elite? I agree with Robert, this is fascism, I would like to understand what the end game is, some how I don’t think I want to know! Some how, the open society is not so open.

  • Joe: I am Jewish, and if you are Jewish you always know what the endgame is. Be warned.

  • Joe

    Robert, I have never understood why western media always support the PA, why the media are so dishonest in their hate, I have never understood anti semitism, what I do know is that I dislike those that are antisemitic, you have my full respect.

  • Laurie

    The rhetoric has fallen to a level where it is no longer an option to remain silent. All reasonable people need to repudiate such vitriol with firm rebuke.

  • Insomnius

    “We need to start killing people.”
    You mean other Americans?

    Oh yeah!?

    “We need to start protecting people.”
    Americans protecting other Americans. I think we are in the majority here.
    Not them.

    It’s so simple. With the MSM having been compromised, it should be easier to point out their obvious hypocrisy. Those poor libtards, they are like contradiction machines.

    Is this not inciting radicalism and brainwashing to do harm to others without due cause? Where is Homeland security? This is an act of terrorism. Black lives do not matter any more than elf lives or dog’s lives or plant’s lives or and other color or species and the more they harp it out, the more the response will become: “no they don’t matter”. These are low life do nothings who have nothing better to do and are part of the narcotic entitlement generation of idiots……Homeland security? Please have her removed as a threat to the American people and left on an iceberg nearest the south pole… thank you
