Knus Krigsmaskinen speaks out against Conradi’s attempt to depoliticize the suppression of legitimate protest
Yesterday we were informed that the municipality has officially applied to demolish our house. This is being done by Mayor Conradi bypassing the municipal council and thus acting deeply undemocratically in a politically charged issue like this.
We are not surprised by this effort to silence our legitimate protest. This procedure goes in the direction of how an oppressive regime would act, and stands as an example of the sad state of democracy in Norway. At the same time, this was to be expected as another step in the broader false democratic process and AI hallucinations, which the local population has already experienced, to push through Chemring’s new factory despite all local resistance.
In order to avoid a political discussion with the members of the coalition, she made it a purely administrative task. This means that none of the members of the municipality had the opportunity to vote against the demolition of what has become an important symbol for protecting Hurummarka. They are hiring a private contractor because then they don’t need an official reason to demolish. Conradi’s attempt to silence this protest and remove us without having to be held accountable indicates that she and her supporters lack a basic understanding of the important role protest has for a vibrant democracy.
We urge all residents of Hurum and Asker and those concerned about the forest and the fjord to ask themselves:
As another sign of the municipality’s inconsistency, they demanded from their former tenants protection of the culturally valuable painting by local painter Rolf Røskestad (1962), which they are now ready to destroy in silence. This is shown by a quote from the previous lease issued by the municipality: “The walls in the main house are painted by a local artist, directly on the wall, and are being looked after to the best of their ability. The same applies to the fireplace in the main house.”
After finally reaching an agreement with the Asker fire department and agreeing to find an inspection date for the coming week, we are informed of the municipality’s demolition plans. How is it that the municipality first claims to take care of our and others’ safety when it comes to fire safety, and now continues to want to demolish our house without an assessment or a valid reason? We have therefore made another plan to ensure that fire safety is taken care of. We are contacting reliable, independent people from the fire department and an independent electrician to achieve the necessary standards.
Given how our protest is being handled by the municipality, we urge all residents to be vigilant and outspoken in all upcoming steps to enable Chemring’s mega-factory for destruction, a process where even the State Administrator expresses serious concerns for the safety of residents if Tofte harbor becomes a militarized zone and part of an explosives transportation route.
We, the occupiers from Knus Krigsmaskinen, remain courageous and will continue our fight for Hurum. We want a world where future generations, instead of drowning in an increasingly fear-driven, chaotic, egocentric and warmongering world, can live in security, with values such as community, self-determination, care, true democracy and accountability at the center.
Knus Krigsmaskinen uttaler seg mot Conradi’s forsøk å avpolitisere undertrykkelsen av legitim protest
I går fikk vi beskjed om at kommunen har offisielt søkt om å rive huset vårt. Dette blir gjort ved at ordfører Conradi omgår kommunestyret og opptrer dermed dypt udemokratisk i en politisk betent sak som dette.
Vi er ikke overraskede over denne innsatsen for å stilne vår legitime protest. Denne prosedyren går i retning av hvordan et undertrykkende regime ville opptrådt, og står som et eksempel på den triste tilstanden demokratiet har i Norge. Samtidig var dette å forvente som nok et skritt i den bredere falske demokratiske prosessen og KI-hallusinasjoner, som lokalbefolkningen allerede har opplevd, for å presse gjennom Chemrings nye fabrikk til tross for all lokal motstand.
For å unngå en politisk diskusjon med medlemmene i koalisjonen, hun gjort til en ren administrativ oppgave. Dette betyr at ingen av kommunens medlemmer hadde mulighet til å stemme mot rivingen av det som har blitt et viktig symbol for å beskytte Hurummarka. De ansetter en privat entreprenør fordi da trenger de ingen offisiell grunn for å rive. Conradis forsøk på å stilne denne protesten og fjerne oss uten å måtte stå til ansvar, indikerer at hun og hennes støttespillere mangler en grunnleggende forståelse av den viktige rollen protest har for et levende demokrati.
Vi oppfordrer alle innbyggere i Hurum og Asker og de som er bekymret for skogen og fjorden til å spørre seg selv:
Som et annet tegn på kommunens inkonsekvens krevde de fra sine tidligere leietakere beskyttelse av det kulturelt verdifulle maleriet fra den lokale maleren Rolf Røskestad (1962), som de nå er klare til å ødelegge i stillhet. Dette viser et sitat fra forrige leiekontrakt utstedt av kommunen:» Veggene i hovedhuset er malt av en lokal kunster, direkte på veggen, og ivaretas etter beste evne. Det samme gjelder peisen i hovedhuset.»
Etter å endelig ha kommet til enighet med brannvesenet i Asker og blitt enige om å finne en inspeksjonsdato for den kommende uken, får vi beskjed om kommunens riveplaner. Hvordan henger det sammen at kommunen først hevder å ta vare på vår og andres sikkerhet når det gjelder brannsikkerhet, og nå fortsetter med å ønske å rive huset vårt uten en vurdering eller en gyldig grunn? Vi har derfor laget en annen plan for å sikre at brannsikkerheten er ivaretatt. Vi kontakter pålitelige, uavhengige personer fra brannvesenet og en uavhengig elektriker for å oppnå de nødvendige standardene.
Gitt hvordan protesten vår blir håndtert av kommunen, oppfordrer vi alle innbyggere til å være årvåkne og frittalende i alle kommende skritt for å muliggjøre Chemrings megafabrikk for ødeleggelse, en prosess der selv Statsforvalteren uttrykker alvorlig bekymring for innbyggernes sikkerhet hvis Tofte havn blir en militarisert sone og en del av en eksplosivtransportrute.
Vi, okkupantene fra Knus Krigsmaskinen, holder motet og vil fortsette vår kamp for Hurum. Vi vil ha en verden der fremtidige generasjoner, i stedet for å drukne i en stadig mer fryktdrevet, kaotisk, egosentrisk og krigshitsende verden, kan leve i trygghet, med verdier som fellesskap, selvbestemmelse, omsorg, ekte demokrati og ansvarlighet i sentrum.
We just published a proposal for how locals in Hurum can start organizing around the Environmental Impact Assessments by Norconsult titled “You Don’t Have To Do This Alone – Organizing Community Resistance in Hurummarka”. The text is available in English and Norwegian on our new subpages Get Organized / Organiser dere. On these you can also find a booklet version of the text for printing (only in Norwegian at the moment).
Get organized!

In many northern countries peoples celebrate Midsummer.
🌾 HISTORICALLY 🌾
… this day marks the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest.
☀️ ASTRONOMICALLY ☀️
… speaking, summer begins on the solstice, which is always around the 20th of June. At this moment, the Sun reaches its highest and northernmost points in the sky, and Earth’s North Pole tilts directly toward the Sun. It’s the longest day of the year. The sun does not even disappear at night in some more Nordic regions of the world. In fact, the Sun’s declination path appears to stop before reversing direction. “Solstice” is a combination of the Latin words sol for “sun” and stitium for “standing.” In late December, the Sun appears to stand still again, when we experience the winter solstice—the shortest day.
💐 TRADITION 💐
Celebrations for Midsummer typically begin on Midsummer Eve. Dancing, eating, bonfires, collecting flowers and way more! Which traditions are actually getting practised depends on the area and the people you are with.
