Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

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:

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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Etta James – Something’s Got A Hold On Me

An evening pause: Performed live on television sometime in the mid-1960s.

Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who notes, “Etta James was an inspiration to a generation of popular female singers, from Janice Joplin to Christina Aguilera.”

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 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

    The political communist-islamist hate blog that calls itself “The Planetary Society” made another hate post today. Claiming, again, that Jesus Christ was evil.
    http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason-davis/2018/20180426-funpost-solemnly-swear.html

    This particular communist-islamist in their political organization, Jason Davis, posted hate comments against Elon Musk launching his own car into space. According to the communist-islamist ideology everything must be owned by the Great Leader and only He can decide, and enforce with all violence necessary to achieve total obedience, who must and must not do what. That is the only definition of what is good, to the communist-islamists. And of course the communist-islamist Jason Davis cares about the wording of “he” in the oath. What else is to be expected by a total moron?

    Does anyone else fell for getting rid of these haters while we have time to do so in order to survive, or are some of you just looking forward to you funeral?

  • LocalFluff: Though Jason Davis is very obnoxious in this blog post, and exhibits proudly his ignorance and contempt for American history, I don’t see where he claims “Jesus Christ was evil.”
