Existence is Resistance Topical songs from all eras together with some beautiful Palestinian music.      Protesting war & the inhumane behavior of a cabal of corrupt Israel-centric heads of government. A cry for peace and a return to the charter of human rights under a relevant & influencial federated international organisation with real powers.  We condemn  the normalisation of genocide, child murder (& child abuse for that matter - Epstein), double-tap strikes, carpet bombing of cities & hospitals, killing of journalists and a host of other atrocities. We must work towards a return to some kind of moral order, press for a fair, equitable reconstruction and fight for a fairer society and a more sustainable world.      ^^stream & download^^ TAP PLAY ONCE THEN TWICE to play here or tap building icon to enter the internet archives page & stream or d/l^^ Illustrations from the  Middle East Children’s Alliance art tour Co...

With our freedoms, economic security and the living planet itself under serious threat billionaires are running amok, stirring up racial predjudice & class war to cover up their ebezzlement en mass  while impoverishing governments (i.e. the people) at previously unseen levels everywhere . Enough is enough! The people must & will prevail over big money and greed eventually due to total unsustainability. It requires a complete overturn of economic & management systems as we know them though and will involve some personal sacrifices and lifestyle changes but it is doable. Right now, while we're on the ...

Like A World Without End  and we though that this would go on forever... A wee reminder that nothing is eternal, everything is finite or goes through revolutionary change. All of the Earth's, our, resources must be protected & fostered if we are to look to a future but the capitalist mirage makers think only of today, paying little or no heed to long term sustainability, let alone the advancement of humanity and social justice.

  When protest is now longer allowed, what then?   Selection of protest music 1950s-present. The current crackdown on certain modes of dissident action in the West, particularly environmental protest, signals a new era of totalitarianism & suppression of expression. A whole series of legislation, beginning in the 80s, have eroded & removed many of the rights that were formerly taken for granted while the cursed tranfer of power known as privatisation has leeched society and bled regular people dry. That heads of governments are seen to overtly collude with commercial titans & media moguls only reinforces the prevailing mood of helpess futility & inevitability, a feeling reinforced by economic neccessity and, crucially, the law. Criminal injustice at every level & on all fronts.   Listen to High Up There In Gilded Boardrooms by Old Timer in Isan on hearthis.at Traditions of musical resistance that have roots stretching back into antiquity...

    Songs of Dissent Tales of Oppression   Charting a timeline of popular revolt & rebellion through music & song. The legacy of these ancient songs and commentaries on the events they portray have long been championed by folk singers & musicians while politically-minded punk bands in turn looked to the them for inspiration, passing on the tradition & messages to wider audiences & subsequent generations Songs from as long back as the Great Revolt 1381 & Digger's Rebellion 1649, then the war years, Miners Strike 1984, Poll Tax 1990 & the CJB 1990s and songs that record numerous other events & atrocities.
