Has anyone heard from Beckwith since he shut down The Obamafile? Last I heard he was headed to the beach but that was a couple weeks ago and I haven't seen a post from him since. Sure hope he is okay. I keep wondering if that business about putting his work in the National Archives was some kind of hoax to disarm him. Certainly it would be a valuable contribution to the archives and belongs there, but the timing seems odd. It was shortly after that he closed down the site. I did not receive a reply to an email I sent inquiring about his well-being, but he does not know me from Adam so I can understand that he would not feel inclined to respond. Has anyone heard from him?
Polarik, Beckwith, who’s next?
Pull your profiles, and check if you have personal info that could be taken from comments...we are going to have to protect ourselves, and each other to be successful combatting the 500,000 people in organizations that want to destroy our way of life:

See the thread on this.
Is Polarik unaccounted for? Since when?
Polarik posted today!
You should probably ping him. Looks like his last post was on his birthday. Happy belated birthday Beckwith.
It’s kind of strange how two people who contributed most to these “birther” discussions have decided to call it quits for one reason or another. Seems a little “fishy” or maybe just a coincidence. I’m not a big believer in the latter.
Good point - Beckwith cause nobody financially supported his efforts and Ron P cause of family. Hitting a brick wall IS tiring.
The Canada Press article recently detailed that various media outlets and persons had been threatened by team 0bama if they mentioned 0’s birth, eligibility, etc.
I’m wondering if perhaps threats have been made. 0bama is a freaking thug and so are his assistants.
Are they getting offers they can’t refuse?
Here’s what he said...
You all deserve an explanation. No, Obama, nor the Obots shut me down. You guys did.
I didnt get into this for the money. As I say on my Read Me page, My agenda is simple and clear. I am opposed to a socialist sitting in the Oval Office especially one that employs teams of lawyers and the legal system to hide his questionable background from the American People.
But, Ive had a PayPal Contribute button on my site for over a year. Every day, I get 200 to 300 emails. 50 Of them from folks that tell me Im a patriot, or theyre praying for me, or the site is invaluable, blah, blah, blah. None of those emailers ever clicked the PayPal button.
Ive been reading those emails for months, and instead of making me feel good, they disappointed me. I spend 8 to 10 hours a day at this 7 days a week, and with the exception of a local guy who sent me two $100 hits a year ago, I have received from my loyal readership $40 in contributions in the last 16 months while my bandwidth steadily increased.
Right now, my email box is full of emails telling me how valuable the site is, and please dont take it down oh yeah, and Im a patriot. Not one of those emailers has ever sent me 5 bucks. Im a strong believer in non-verbal communication. Flattery doesnt pay the bills.
This isnt about money. I do not want any contributions at this point. If you send me any money, I will just send it back and Ill pay the PayPal fee costing me more money.
I realize I sound bitchy, but Im discouraged yeah, and angry. You want me to fight the fight, but you dont want to give me any bullets.
Im done. Im going to the beach.
And there you have it...
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
IT’S BACK!
Theobamafile.com
If this is a funding issue I would be more than happy to donate to him to get the website obamafile.com back up and running. I am sure there are others that would also make contributions to help out.

Well, I’m not the one who wrote that note up above, so I’m not the one to answer it. All I can say is what he says.
BUT, he appears to have put the site back up again. I hope this wasn’t his way of just “tweaking everyone’s nose” for being so irresponsible with what he was doing... which it may have been, seeing that it’s back up again. Maybe he figures that *now* — other people will get the idea that it they don’t donate money that he’s calling it quits for good now... who knows, though...
He did say this, though —

Considering the site is back up and running again, maybe he had a nice vacation at the beach... :-)
