Welcome to ‘from the archive’, the IES audio series bringing you environmental science analysis and insights taken from the archive of past articles written by IES members, stakeholders, and staff.

The final episode in series one of 'from the archive' was written in August 2023 by Joseph Lewis and Ellie Savage, discussing the interactions between objective science and subjective views on the environment, as well as what that means for environmental scientists working on the same topics as environmental activists.

From the Archive 13 - Where is the line between science and activism?

Expect My Resistance

Verse 1:
They try to silence my voice
Erase my history, deny my choice
But every whisper, every breath I take
Is a revolution they cannot break

Chorus:
Respect my existence 
(Respeta mi existencia)
Or expect my resistance
(Espera mi resistencia)
I will not disappear
I will not fade away
My humanity stands loud and clear today

Verse 2:
Borders can’t define me
Walls can’t confine me
My dignity is not a privilege to grant
My rights are not theirs to recant

Chorus:
Respect my existence 
(Respeta mi existencia)
Or expect my resistance
(Espera mi resistencia)
I will not disappear
I will not fade away
My humanity stands loud and clear today

Bridge:
(Spoken/Chanted)
They may push me down
But I will rise
They may try to silence
But I amplify
My existence is my power
My resistance is my voice
No compromise, no retreat
This is my choice

Final Chorus:
RESPECT MY EXISTENCE
(RESPETA MI EXISTENCIA)
OR EXPECT MY RESISTANCE
(ESPERA MI RESISTENCIA)
WE ARE HERE
WE WILL STAND
OUR HUMANITY DEMANDS!
I will not disappear
I will not fade away
MY HUMANITY STANDS LOUD AND CLEAR TODAY

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with the new cold war evolving into  hot wars on all fronts, we take a look at the forbidden scenario of a nuclear conflagration eventually emerging unless people around the globe can stop it in time to save the planet and themselves. In our first half hour, we speak once again to prominent Canadian anti-war activist Tamara Lorincz about the petition circulating recently trying to get Canada to prohibit nuclear weapons in the world. Then in our second half hour, we hear from the award-winning geopolitical and military analyst Drago Bosnic about the multiple scenarios by which warfare might escalate to the nuclear level and of the possible cost of doing nothing in the face of the emerging threat of ATOMIC DISASTER.

Building Unity Wisconsin Gets Ready To Fight The Power

A song about f****ed up capitalism.

Lyrics: 
Those Endangered human specimens  
Campin’ in the streets, doin’ crazy things 
They should be more like us, hard-headed, cynical 
Driving EV cars, building eco-towns 
 
For economy, we gotta keep, the GDP – rising!  

We-re cuttin’ them down, cuttin’ them down, so that we could buy more shit 
We’re fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up for our good! 
Oh, there’s still lots of land to fill, we burn the coal, trash the sea, just because we love our Earth. 

Us tree-hugging hypocrites, vegan activists, 
Tryna find the truth, that you disguise behind  

The economy, think you gotta keep, the GDP – rising! 

You’re cuttin’ them down, cuttin’ them down, so that you could buy more shit 
You’re fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up for your good!  
You think there’s still land to fill, you burn the coal, trash the sea – Oh-oh! Oh-oh… 

Who’s the nature’s advocate, in the court for our lives? ---SHUT UP! 

Cuttin’ them down, cuttin’ them down, so that you could buy more shit! 
You’re fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up, fuckin’ it up for your good!  
Oh, there’s still lots of trees to burn, we drill the oil, eat the cows,  
Just because we love OURSELVES! – Oh-oh! Oh-oh…

Anarchist writer Peter Gelderloos returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us: Forcing Nonviolence on Forgetful Movements, published through Pluto Press. We dialogue on topics such as movement heartbreak, memory as relationship, how enclosure produces memory loss, and how ruptures in generational continuity in liberatory struggles have brought us to where we are today.

FREEDOM IS A STATE OF MIND

in Dutch: spoken music, somewhere between spoken word and songs: ethereal and catchy

Creating experimental indie rock that gets inspiration from hard rock and ballads from the 70s and 80s, punk rock, game music, and psychedelic indie rock from the 90s and 00s. Expressive feelings, wild stuff. No genre limits. No limits. Comments and criticism very welcome.

All composed and sung by Vera Vagabond (Vera Tattari)

What's on your mind? Unlike those right-wing or left-liberal extremist shows, Free Talk Live is libertarian talk radio that ANYONE can take control of. Yes, even you. Free Talk Live is the next generation of issues-oriented talk. What is the meaning of freedom? This show is about Liberty with a capital L.

A podcast about transitions, death, the ruptures of life in between.

Blending hip-hop and electronic music, Dilute the Power offers a hard-hitting soundtrack for those who challenge the norm. It’s a project that refuses to conform to the mainstream narrative, instead, digging deep into themes of government control, societal illusions, and the individual’s fight for freedom.
