Aldebaran,

Thanks for letting us know about this. It's always good to hear about new Theosophical resources on the Internet.

I've been using these already. As I recall, I was made aware of them through FaceBook ... which provides the link through one of the Theosophy pages. They have a Theosophical Wikipedia they are promoting.

This reminds me of something Nick. You were mentioning you could not get YouTube in China. I have found you can imbed YouTube video links into FaceBook pages, and they play in FaceBook, much faster actually. You might want to see if you can access FaceBook and see the vids on the various feeds of friends you may have there. If so, then having things linked into FB may be the way to request the youtube vids you were mentioning earlier you could not access.

Unfortunately, I can't get Facebook either. How sad!

Hm, you should be able to view certain things through a proxy server...with about 70 percent of quality loss, but nevertheless. I have a friend who has to do that, I can ask. She manages to see about everything that's blocked in her country.

ML,

Thanks. Let me know what she says.

Well, does INVISION Power Board have option(s) to link in video segments? You apparantly can read these bulletin boards. YouTube(s) can be converted to MP3, MP4, AVI, AVI etc, depending on which mix of audio, visual is required. Probably QuickTime too. I guess, "is the issue the domain names, themselves? Because there are many sites that pick up the youtubes (selectively) into their own domain pages.

I just tried to embed, but without success- even if embedded that would be no luck in China.

Nick, try this. Let me know if China already blocked this as well.

https://youtubeproxy.org/

ML,

It doesn't work. I imagine China has blocked youtubeproxy.org too. It was worth a try! Thanks for the suggestion.

Christian,

Embedding a link in a different page does not work, because they all refer to the same IP address, and China uses IP addresses to block sites.

Ah, that's what I thought. I wouldn't give up yet. You simply have to be faster than China and find a proxyserver before China blocks it. They pop up like weeds, but you get the idea.

You basically have two options: an 'artifical' IP generator (not very difficult), or keep searching for working proxyservers, that you use until China blocks them.

In the meantime, do you have access to sites like Megaupload.com? , I'd be willing to upload a few there. The idea of censorship bothers me to no end. (I grew up behind that iron curtain...)
Is China allowing access to dailymotion.com? Videos of interest could be uploaded there, too.

ML,

No, those sites are blocked. I've tried several proxy sites, but they are all blocked too.

I need to try that 'artifical' IP generator idea. How does that work?

Is this blocked?

Yes, it's blocked too. China has legions of college students who work part-time searching for these kinds of websites and blocking them. I understand they are paid a good bounty for each 'juicy' site they find.
