Orchestrated censorship of Native news powerless to halt defenders

The censorship of American Indian news in the United States is no accident. It is carefully orchestrated by acts of deception, distortion and omission. The bottom line is dollars, as revealed by following the money to the corporate core of the censors and contract spies in the media.

Regardless of the censorship, Native Americans continue to block fracking trucks and megaloads, continue to organize the fight against the Keystone XL pipeline and continue to defend the sacred.

Lakota Joye Braun was arrested on Wednesday as she attempted to block fracking trucks on Cheyenne River Sioux land in South Dakota. Regardless of a tribal law that prohibits the trucks, Braun spent the night in jail.

The struggle to protect the sacred continues in Arizona, where Akimel Oodham of Gila River Indian Community protested the planned South Mountain Loop 202 south of Phoenix.

"Gila River has said no three times. As recently as 2012 the Gila River Indian Community voted for the No Build option because Moadak (South Mountain) is a sacred site, said Andrew Pedro of Sacaton. No means No.

In Mexico during August, the Zapatistas in the stronghold of La Realidad, Chiapas, hosted the National Indigenous Congress.

SubGaleano, formerly known as Marcos, spoke at the concluding press conference, honoring those who have died since the struggle for dignity and autonomy began. During the gathering, SubGaleano and the Comandantes also sent a message of support to Palestine.

Security Vs. Censorship: India Blocks Film On Assassination

Kuam De Heere, or Diamonds of the Community, depicts the assassination of Indira Gandhi and focuses on the personal lives of her killers. Critics say it glorifies them. The film has been screened in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia, but its release has been blocked in India.

A new film projects a decidedly different perspective about one of the most convulsive episodes in India's modern age.

Kaum De Heere, or Diamonds of the Community, looks at the 1984 assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi through the lens of her assassins.

Producer Satish Katyal rejects the criticism that the film eulogizes Gandhi's killers. "It has a human angle," he says. "It's about their personal lives. Why did they suddenly commit this act?"

Gandi's assassins, Beant Singh and Satwant Singh, both Sikh, were also her bodyguards. The pair unloaded their weapons into the 66-year-old Indian leader on the morning of Oct. 31, 1984, to avenge an event a few months earlier an army storming of the Sikh's holiest shrine in a bid to flush out Sikh separatists hiding there.

Sociologist Surinder Singh Jodhka says the assault on the Golden Temple in June 1984 shocked the community. Gandhi's assassination in turn provoked riots, centered in New Delhi, in which Hindus hunted down and killed Sikhs. Estimates of the number dead "vary from 4,000 to 10,000-plus in the country," Jodkha says.

Thirty years on, Jodkha says, "what happened in either in the Golden Temple or in Delhi is not something that will be forgotten."

That's evidently what concerns the government.

India's Home Ministry, which oversees the country's security, stopped the release of the film last week, concluding it "was highly objectionable," according to the Press Trust of India. The film's producers have appealed for its release. It's already been screened in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.

Advanced codec support inside Media Center with Media Control

Home codecs Advanced codec support inside Media Center with Media Control by Michael Healy @ 9:00 am on June 11th, 2009 in codecs, ffdshow, plugins, subtitles with 23 Comments

One of the greatest features of newer video container formats such as MKV is their ability to contain multiple audio and subtitle streams as well as chapter markers. These are the type of features that begin to bridge the gap between traditional DVD and Blu-Ray media playback and non-traditional digitally distributed or locally stored media. Unfortunately, Microsoft has neglected support for many of these open source formats entirely.

While playing back MKVs in Media Center only requires that you have the correct splitters and decoders installed these more advanced features require a deeper level of support. Thats where a handy Media Center plug-in called Media Control comes in.

Media Control adds support for switching audio and subtitles streams, chapter markers, fast forward and rewind for all FFDShow decoded formats, refresh rate changing and more. In fact Media Control has so many features packed in its hard to get a handle on them all.

When starting a movie with multiple subtitle or audio streams Media Control will pop-up a small dialog allowing you to quickly enter the menu for switching streams. The dialog only appears for a few moments but once the video is playing you can enter the full options of Media Control through the start menu as well.

From the main Media Control menu youll have access to almost any feature available through FFDShows configuration dialogs. Change video settings, audio and subtitle delays, post processing and more right from inside Media Center with easy to use controls.
