Today marks six months since we established the Active Defense Zone (AFS) in Hurummarka. We’re celebrating by occupying a new building: fhe abandoned fire tower on the highest peak in Hurummarka, Stikkvannskollen.
The 99-year-old fire tower was used to monitor Hurummarka and large parts of Eastern Norway for forest fires. We feel compelled to take up a watch in the fire tower to protect Hurummarka from Chemring Nobel and the Ministry of Defense’s explosive plans, which will burn forests, people and the planet.
More and more people are realizing that this may be the most important struggle to wage right now for justice and liberationg, because Chemring Nobel’s exclusive production of high explosives is fundamental to the imperialist wars waged by the U.S. and Israel. Chemring Nobel is a bottleneck in the war machine.
That is why it is important for everyone with a beating heart to get involved in this case however you can – whether that means staying at the AFS or plastering Oslo with stickers…
We are guarding Hurummarka from the fire tower until the plans for explosives are extinguished.
Crush the war machine!
An art piece titled “Sound of War” has also been installed in the tower. Old cannon shells have been transformed into bells that warn of war and fire approaching Hurummarka.
