]]> Comment on Calling All Bloggers: Keep Tibet in the Spotlight by Cardano http://humanrightsvideo.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/calling-all-bloggers-keep-tibet-in-the-spotlight/#comment-96 Cardano Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:51:42 +0000 http://humanrightsvideo.wordpress.com/?p=74#comment-96 The BBC runs a sly and disgraceful campaign to create the impression that Tibet always was part of China and that the protesters somehow are the villains. They might think it is just too subtle to be noticed, but in fact it is just not worthy of a so called “free press”. They incessantly repeat the CCP line that “China says Tibet always was part of China”. No mention of the International Juror’s finding of illegal occupation of Tibet or the simple fact that Tibet was an independent nation before the Han Chinese Communists invaded the country. No mention of the obvious fact that Tibet was exclusively populated by a distinct race, with a unique culture, language and its own independent government. Nor do they offer an account of all the heinous atrocities they’ve committed and continue to perpetrate against the Tibetan people. By all accounts the Han Chinese Communists are the most racist, barbaric regime in all of human history, and their crimes continue in the 21st century no less! No, we’re not talking of ancient history, but the 21st century and the year they’re allowed to hold the Olympics; awarded in the spirit of freedom, cooperation, friendship and harmony!!! But the so called “free press” is just too willing to kowtow to this barbaric cabal in Beijing and is careful not to offend this regime controlling the most populous nation on the planet, after all there is so much trade to be had with 1.3 billion people, and we wouldn’t want to offend the masters controlling this trade.

Vertov allows you to cut video and audio files into clips, annotate the clips, and integrate your annotations with other research sources and notes stored in Zotero. It is produced by the Concordia Digital History Lab (http://digitalhistory.concordia.ca) at Concordia University, Montreal, and is developed by Stuart Thiel. The current 0.7.0.4 release is a stable beta, with a public release planned in April. Minimum requirements include: Firefox 2.0 browser and QuickTime Player for Mac or Windows; Java Runtime Environment (Windows only); Zotero, a Firefox extension. We plan to add more features, including export of clips and collaborative annotating, as well as add support for more file types (currently dependent on QuickTime), web services (such as downloading/annotating YouTube clips) and operating systems, especially Linux. For more information on future development, please browse the Vertov issue tracker (http://vertov.htmlweb.com/trac/), which allows anonymous viewing of tickets, changesets, and source code.
