Not much longer now. Anyone know what this website was posting about?

How many other sites are showing this same type of logo? Probably NONE. Why? Because if the government were truly shutting down sites, I sincerely doubt they'd want people to be able to point a finger at them, let alone have a link to ready.gov.
What a pant load.
Sites that are shut down, usually just have an error message, or go to some freespace advertisement. I would know, because I forgot to renew one of my domains once.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
OK, here's a clue. I just found this posted at the Veterans for Peace forum:
Eric tops his site with this Sad Note, It Will Be Missed, but I'm Sure he will continue Giving His All with his Informative Flash Video's!

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK...
http://www.bushflash.com/
Bushflash.com will be shut down, within 30 days.
I'd like to think it can continue, but really- I can no longer spend the time required to keep this site live, with only my two hands, and one keyboard.
Bushflash is a quaint fossil- and after three years of hammering out everything I have to present to the american and worldwide public, I'm flat broke, and owe the IRS about 6 thousand bucks.
Such is life- excelsior, and dammit, we had a good run, while the times were darkest. When I started this site, there were but a handful of sites that dared to take this administration to task. Now, there are thousands, and I love every last one of them...
I'm an unemployed guy in New Jersey, and I reached an audience of millions...
I want each and every one of you to do the same....
Stop over and pay a visit, to enjoy what he has produced at http://www.bushflash.com/
Erics a Staunch Supporter of Veterans and especially 'Veterans for Peace' http://www.veteransforpeace.org/
Visit his Animation Page http://www.bushflash.com/animation.html to view His Work, he also Hosts a Number of others Fine Work!!
While he has Many Fine Flash's, one of his best, as far as for me, is this one: 'Thanks For The Memories'; http://www.bushflash.com/thanks.html , a Great piece of work on the History of the U.S. and Saddam, put into a short Flash Video, hitting All The Connections!! There are plenty more there as well as many others work. Give a Visit, I've always thought some of his work should have been viewed on the MSM as 'Public Service' Commercials!!!

Eric has Updated message about his finances, Now Here's An Honest Person one can Respect:
BUSHFLASH SHUTS DOWN IN 26 DAYS- ADDRESSING THE MONEY ISSUE... In the wake my announcement that Bushflash is shutting down, a lot of folks have come forward, offering contributions, or suggesting advertising schemes...
I guess I asked for this, in a way, but I feel I've been misunderstood..
When I said I was "broke" and "In debt", in no way do I blame this on Bushflash.com, or my activities concerning the maintenance of this site.
The truth is, through Blogads and Google ads, Bushflash makes enough money every month to pay for hosting. In fact, according to my last tax return, it pulls in an extra fifty bucks a month- enough to buy a week's groceries.
I used to have a paypal link up on my site, so folks could donate money. Back when I was producing new animations, I felt justified in doing so. When my productivity slowed down, I felt guilty as hell having a "donate" link up- why should anyone donate to a site that contains one dude's incoherent ramblings, and other people's videos? When my burnout hit in earnest, and I finally realized that I'll most likely not produce anything new in the future, animation-wise, I put up Google ads, and removed the paypal donation link.
Now that the site is basically just my own rambling, and the latest cull from YouTube, I have a hard time asking anyone to pay one damned cent to view the site. Some folks say "Just put the paypal link up- if people give you money, what's wrong with that?"
What's wrong, is that people would be giving me money, for something that they can get from a million other sites, for free. Regardless of the good wishes of the potential contributor- I. JUST. CAN'T. TAKE. IT. in good conscience.
The financial hole I find myself in, is my own fault. It had nothing to do with ya'll, and you shouldn't have to take one cent out of your coinpurses, to bail me out. If you feel the need to give money, give it to a local charity- due to budget cutbacks by the Bush Bowl, there are causes who need your help, far more than I ever could. I'd suggest giving here, here, or here.

It's an April Fool's joke. The site is online and he gives a brief explanation.
The joke is a commentary in of itself, really.
A brilliant stunt. And I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I totally forgot what day it was.
Thankfully, the day of crushed dissent has not yet dawned in America. But the very fact that a DHS site pull down for PATRIOT Act violations is believable at all is indeed a sad commentary on the state of this Union.
They got me too! ;P And it got me thinking, so it worked quite well as a wakeup call.

A caller nailed Alex Jones with this 'stunt' on his Sunday show yesterday afternoon...Alex said he would "look into it". I looked, as well...okay; you got us! :-)
