about
On December 19, 2008 27 year old climate activist Tim DeChristopher entered an illegal auction of public land in Utah. Tim outbid oil and gas companies with no means to pay the bids, disrupting the auction and ultimately protecting the land from destruction. He is now serving 2 years in a federal prison.
“Those who are inspired to follow my actions are those who understand that we are on a path toward catastrophic consequences of climate change. They know their future, and the future of their loved ones, is on the line...
The people who are committed to fighting for a livable future will not be discouraged or intimidated by anything that happens here today. And neither will I. I will continue to confront the system that threatens our future.... “
-Tim DeChristopher after sentencing.
The time for being afraid is over. The time to fight back is now.
Melodeego met Tim at a climate rally in Boston. He has graciously allowed the band to use samples of his powerful speech at the 2011 Power Shift Conference in the track “Fear is the Weapon”.

lyrics
Fear is the weapon
The only one they got
But that don't mean nothing
If we fear them not
She's always been known to speak up
Some say out of turn
She don't mind too much getting burned
He command his kingdom
As the masses sight their seats
She walk in, he feel his knees get weak
Fear is the weapon
The only one they got
But that don't mean nothing
If we fear them not
He unveils his plans
She say how can you dare
The masses turn their heads and stare
He say you should be more careful
Of what you say and do
Speak again, I will banish you
Fear is the weapon
The only one they got
But that don't mean nothing
If we fear them not
[J-O's verse]
Fear is the weapon, the one they got
That means nothing if we fear them not.
Long time ago history with Romans,
Jews, Muslims, Christians Unhappy
Politicians and Government Entropy
they say Thee people, Enslave We the people
lack of order decline dramatically,
deprive our youth and Women psychologically
from the root of a Tree, I'm just a falling leaf
Our World Branches is giving us mad grief
I bow out to Muscle hustle the truth
to speak only to you, I turned into a troop
AND
Same script you already know, They Convincing you
The same Route, the same go, Same M-O
Social Media World of fear Freak Show
Turning Cowards You Cowards out of my people
Hustle us Lethal, Hide and call it Legal
So turn from ya FEARS aim for the stars
Be brave and all to win them all
Fear is the weapon
The only one they got
But that don't mean nothing
If we fear them not
