Peace Process?

The first 25 of Mark Bruzonsky's Mid-East Realities Television programs have been uploaded to Google Video. Much more to come. Much more.

This is Mark Bruzonsky's second Mid-East Realities Television Program. I think it's the best of all his other shows, bar none, because in 1994 Mark explained why the "Peace Process" never had process or peace as an objective and we are seeing the results today of the so-called "Peace Process." Nothing has changed since then and Mark's is still the last word regarding the topology of the problem space as far as I am concerned.

There was another program before this, but terror-bytes blew up the transfer process when I tried to upload it.

I'm working with Mark on another blog which will make annotating and commenting on these programs easier. He has interviewed so many interesting people over the last 20 years there will certainly be no end of research in "Where are they now?" and "How did _THAT_ get into the Memory Hole?" I will provide complete transcripts for some of the high-impact programs so that the search engines will help future peace activists find the background they need to understand and participate in our global peace dialogue. I'll also be working with Mark to re-master some of the programs with his video editing software to lighten them in places and maybe update the intro, which gets quite annoying if you watch a couple of them. Maybe it's just me, because I watched _all_ of them. That's what the video thumb control is for.

Right now the other blog looks terrible - under construction. As soon as that blog is done, I'll publish the link and ask folks in the friends list to increment the global link counter which the search engines use to determine which content floats to the top of the search reports. You can also link directly to the Google Video pages themselves just by cutting and pasting the URL from your browser's address field. Google bombs are difficult things to coordinate with a small number of people but entirely doable with the exclusive content that Mark has produced. As the transcripts come out, you'll begin to see how it works in your favorite search engine. Please add to the Google Video comments key words you think have high value - such as named conflicts - agreements - breached agreements - etc. While it's impossible to embed a keyword tracker-logger on a google video, high value search words will float to the top of the logger in the new MERTV blog.

If you watch the vids on Google Video, please rate them and add comments if you are moved to do so. This is not new stuff for most of us who have been involved, but you may help someone along who is new to the subject by giving them additional information in the comments at Google Vid.

As anyone knows who has read here for a while, I have always dreaded having to edit blogger templates. I learned how to add things to the side bar but that's about it. Now I'm trying to figure out the new templates, and it's making my eyes bleed. So be patient.

I'll come up with an official post on how to embed these videos on your own blog. In the meantime, here's what I wrote when I stumbled on one of Mark's programs that someone else uploaded to Google Video.
