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.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. 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.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed 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. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.

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

    I must have a new one now.

    How could I have gone thus long without just one?

  • Robert Pratt

    Sounds similar to a DEI or CRT seminar but makes even more sense.

  • David M. Cook

    Warning! This is a giant JOKE! This should have been posted on April 1st! Thanks for wasting my data-bits on this!

  • Concerned

    This is hilarious, but only to those of us with discernment and critical thinking skills.
    There are literally tens of millions of people in advanced countries, including ours, that cannot see that this is a joke and will believe it because of the cinematographic presentation and the “sincerity” of the host. Now, just dial back the frequency of nonsense in the presentation, and you basically get CNN and MSNBC.
    With the advent of advanced AI, this video, after you get done laughing, should graphically illustrate how the public can be so easily led to “believing in the science”. After all, that guy sure sounds like an “expert”.

    The Turbo Encabulator video was a classic.

    One manager from outside the tech/maintenance world gave it to us and tagged the email with “This is what you sound like to the rest of us”.

  • Bought one. Putting it in the garage, next to the Interociter.

  • Andrew R

    As sson as I can afford it I’m getting one and hooking it up to my Eschatron 9000. Then we’ll see some immanentizing!

  • David M. Cook

    Heh, I turned it off just after the crack about the “Natural Guard”! Can‘t wait to use that on the next ANG member I see at the grocery store. (173rd Fighter Wing, flying the mighty Eagle!)

    I remember hearing about how spent ack-ack shells would sometimes land sharp-end first on the teak decks…and how one sailor fooled a congresswoman about the ruby throat deck-pecker or something—where she said she read up about them.

    I mangle jokes.

    He left out one critical piece of information- where do you plug in the flux capacitor ?
