#2022 #MUSIC
https://omegatribe.bandcamp.com/album/new-peace-movement

The new #album from #anarcho-punk favourites #OmegaTribe is something of a musical departure from the band’s 80s past. While they still sing about freedom, peace and unity this is more of a kick back and chill out album for aging anarchos. Reviewed by Nathan Brown.

Definitely one of the more #melodic of the bands associated with #Crass and the “anarcho-punk” scene, #Omega #Tribe have to a degree regenerated themselves but still attract a lot of interest based on their 1980s past. In that 80s scene, #punk was largely responsible for connecting a lot of young #people with the peace movement and giving it more energy. The CND sign was side by side with the circled A on most punk’s jackets and many a record sleeve. We didn’t just want #anarchy, we wanted #peace too…and equality! In terms of keeping that message alive, title track New Peace Movement is an exemplar.

“This is the beginning of a new peace movement
Right here, right #now

Peace built on respect and mutual trust
Should be good enough for us
The dawning of the day has come
No need to worry we’ll get this done

The colour of my skin
Is just the colour of my skin
I recognise that we must learn
I reject pseudo-science, it’s #one #humanity

People have been gay since time began
This love is a pure and natural thing
Help each other find comfort and love
And have a good fucking time, because you’re worth it!

There are so many flags to wave
None of them are worth dying for
But I will stand for a just cause
For peace, humanity and our earth”

Lyrically this stands alongside the classic Angry Songs EP and No Love Lost LP. This album is not all socio-political stuff, though. Many of the songs are more about personal relationships, trauma and angst, and the music reflects this.

It doesn’t feel right to label this release as punk – it is musically much more diverse than that label. Not that something has to be punk for you to like it (First rule of punk, don’t let people tell you what you’re allowed to like. Second rule of punk, there are no rules). I’d suggest 4 of the 12 tracks fit the “punk” label. The title track. The angry enunciated kick back against racism in Ain’t Gonna Let ‘Em (after a deceptive Britpoppy start). Then there is the anti-religious message of Shit (“Don’t Lay Your Shit On Me, Don’t Try and force me to believe Cos I will not see you in heaven”) which is a straight up 77 punk song in the tradition of Chelsea or Menace. Lies is in a similar vein, leaning a little more towards Buzzcocks to my ears.

#EVIL #MASK #MADNESS IS #DESTROYING OUR #NATURAL #WORLD ?

Over 1.5 BILLION f#ace #masks now believed to be polluting oceans thanks to 2020

Disposable face masks can take more than 450 years to break down. As 2020 draws to a close, one of the most recognizable symbols of the year may be the protective face mask. As the "novel coronavirus" swept across the globe earlier this year, billions of people began wearing the face coverings, with one study estimating that no less than 129 billion face masks were being used every month around the world.
However, as face masks have become ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives, they’ve also grown to litter every corner of our neighborhoods, from storm drains to creeks, parks to beaches. And now, it turns out that our oceans are swimming with face masks, according to a new report from marine conservation NGO OceansAsia.

“Once #plastic enters the #marine #environment, it’s very difficult to move,” Dr. Teale Phelps Bondaroff, the group’s director of #research, told Denver 7.

“The fact that we are starting to find masks that are breaking up indicates that this is a real problem, that #microplastics are being produced by masks,” Bondaroff said.

The Hong Kong-based group estimates that some 1.56 billion face masks will have flooded our #oceans in 2020 alone – a grim statistic that they have witnessed firsthand since face masks began washing up on a small island off the coast of the Chinese mega-city since the start of the pandemic.
The masks could become yet another major contributor to the ongoing crisis of plastic #pollution in our #ocean, with disposable face masks taking as long as 450 years to break down.

The #single-use masks that are recommended by #health authorities and used as personal protective equipment in hospitals across the world are made of multiple layers of #polypropylene, which are thin fibers of plastic ( #NOW IN YOUR #LUNGS ~B).

And with 52 billion masks being manufactured in this year, with the average weight of each single-use polypropylene surgical face mask being 3 to 4 grams, we could be looking at anywhere from 4,680 to 6,240 metric tons of new marine plastic pollution.

You’ll Have No Privacy And Like It! Says W #EVIL F Head Klaus #NAZI SCUM #Schwab:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=98SzcHejNLM

World Economic Felons head Klaus Schwab gets accused of sounding like a movie #real life #villain, and he does nothing to dispel the notion with his public statements. Most recently Schwab told an interviewer that privacy would soon be a thing of the past and that we should all embrace this bold future since, as long as we don’t have anything to hide we should have anything to worry about. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the brave new world people like Klaus Schwab say we should accept even if they won’t be subject to its dictates themselves.

#How should we feel right #now? Anger? Frustration? How do you reach acceptance? Even with the culling of the population happening, we still have a greater emotional response to school shootings. The New World Order is coming into full view and people are seeking a savior. Could it be you? Could playing your life to the fullest during these desparate times be the answer to achieving world peace?

I am an artist that works within many outlets of expression. I really enjoy chatting with people on the deeper aspects of life and living (as heard on Nox Mente) and also creating art that is challenging and confronts our collective shadow in ways that may cause a little discomfort but ultimately presents one with questions and queries into the nature of reality and this #construct we all find ourselves within.
