Pablo Larcuen – Elefante
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID 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. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
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.
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

When I was a kid the teacher had us write an essay on what animal we’d like to be. I decided to go with elephant, which was apparently such an unusual choice they decided I needed therapy! Absolutely true.
This is hilarious.
Now I have a new concern every time I get a headache.
ken-
good one!
(btw– I used to “….ask too many questions…” in 3rd grade, so they put me on Ritalin. Then I wouldn’t shut up!)

Wayne,
Perspective is so like hard, ya know? I’m pretty sure I know those folks. On occasion I probably am those folks (rarely I hope.)
ken anthony,
That was hilarious. Unfortunately, I may have been a millennial before it was in fashion. When I first started working, whenever I came in late I left early to make up for it. ;-)
wayne,
I had all of those FWPs, too. I especially hated the remote problem, because it defeated the purpose of the remote. What frustration!
Well, now I have a headache. I hope it isn’t a sign of a worse problem.
(What’s going on with my nose?)
