Upper florentine part 2
Part three
This Film was made in Southern Ireland at the Hill of Tara Protest Against the m3 motor way. If you're in the U.K. and u care enough about keeping back somthing small and important of what makes us unique... our heritage, our celtic roots... then get over to Dublin and live and work with people who are the salt of the earth on a hands on approach to stopping a ,motorway in it's tracks... And learn how to build a ''tigger trap''...
The clashing of hardened steel lock-on against hundred thoudand pound bull dozers... The strain of the ropes holding your life when ur two hundred feet up a tree wondering if the balif's gonna just cut the rope holding you're life, like they have before... Like the crying in you're head when u look on a clear felled patch of rain forest that once covered a hundred hectares or more

Back in Tassie's ancient forests!!!! Ahhh But the destruction continues... While I have been away , for 10 months in the uk the logging gaints Gunn's Ltd with the help of Forestry Tasmania have cleared vast tracks of land, burning the clearfelled coupes, and the lush, primeval rain forest turned into Eucalyptus mono-culture for the rest of our live-times and way behond... For a cash crop for low grade paper. The wood chips are currentley exported to Japan for paper production, while a small amount is turned into veneer chip board in highley polluting plants. A wood fired power station is also planned as well as a new gaint pulp mill set to consume i think it's 1.5 million tonnes of wood chips per year!

Everything posted here is footage made by us or friends of ours ... mostly a bloke called Dave in mitigating circumstances... and are from environmental campaigns we've taken an active part in... we're not ashamed to stand up and say that we think these things need to be stopped, and we need help and backing to keep doing the things we do... So if you're circumstances don't allow you to get up on the front line and protest day in day out... fund an activist and know your money's going to the right place... instead of sitting in the bank creating interest for the IMF... Videos like these aren't cheep to make...

‘RIPPLE EFFECT’ "Keeping things conscious and following up their rather eclectic and experimental album Roots All Sorts, the MDV have just birthed a dynamic and vivacious live sound. Once again seasoned with that grounded MDV rootsy signature, the essence of this album speaks commandingly yet beneficently. The songs illustrate the bands live proficiencies - a steady resonance of authentic Roots Reggae, very often abandoned by the sounds of today. Ripple Effect is an intelligent and fresh assemblage of brilliant tunes with a slice of instrumental experimentation. Enjoy!" -AMF68
We always appreciate any feedback. GIVE THANKS MDV-1
credit crunch fuel and food wars - it's time to get real people
When the lights go out What you gonna do when the lights go out no one to listen to you scream and shout It’s coming/It’s here How you gonna feel when the lines go dead and your Third World life stretches out ahead
There’s only so much bio fuel to burn and maybe we’ve already used it There’s only so much Planet Earth can take and we’ve well and truly abused it There was always plenty of wealth to go round but never in the hands of the greedy few who possess it Only enough stuff left for 2 billion 6 billion plus gonna be around to contest it
Bullshit words and empty deeds feed the doubt and plant the seed New demand gives way to new war targeting resources where our enemies are Feed you till you’re fit to burst make you hunger make you thirst Expectation is the key keeps you thinking that you live free Faced with recession faced with loss it’s easier to ignore the cost More tacit consent more Third World horror keeps you feeling safe tomorrow But soon enough when the wind turns cold you’ll have to face the lie you’ve been told You’ll fuck your neighbours and fuck your friends and this is where your humanity ends
Dubstep poetry and UK Hip-Hop, all honest and emotional outbursts from the Hip-Hop Bard of a real life Stonehenge attending Druid Order with assistance from the Synchromystickz, and production from the likes of Appleblim, Defazed and J Rokka...
