Kulturkampanjen has decided not to give up but to build a new house, which
is great. To do so, they need any support you can offer; money, skills and
so on.
Also, it is important to take a stand against those Fascist bastards. They
are really escalating the situation here. So, hope to see you in Salem on
the 6:th!
In solidarity!

Kulturkampanjen: The Cyclops - Burnt to the ground
söndag 30 november, 2008 kl. 11:28 e m
Today 29/11 2008 the Cyclops has been burnt to the ground, nothing is left of the building. Our space has no electricity and no heating system so what could have caused the fire? The fire brigade judged that the course of the fire was unnaturally fast. The fire brigade, the police and we are all in agreement that the fire was torched.
When we arrived at the Cyclops earlier that day at 12:00 and the place had been broken into and everything of value had been stolen. The only thing left of any value was two gas tubes (that we usually use for heating). We spent the day fixing the graffiti wall, painting the stand to the film room and cleaning. We left the house right before 17.00. The fire started about two hours later, in the right hand corner of the house and the fire ignited fast. When the police and fire brigade arrived the house was impossible to save.
The Network Against Racism was supposed to have had a fundraising event at the same time as the fire was started. The event was cancelled a few days before but had been advertised. Tomorrow, 30th of November, is the day Charles XII died and Nazi groups are planning manifestations. Next week, 6th of December, the Nazis are marching once again in Salem. Stockholm is the city in Sweden with most Nazi presence during his period. The connection between this and the fire in our house is hardly a coincidence. The activities and spirit of the Cyclops has been defined by anti-authoritarian thinking and diverse cultures and has been a thorn in the side of totalitarian elements in society. The forums in society that are openly critical of the Nazis are always under threat. It is beyond a doubt that the Cyclops has been the target of a Nazi attack. Nazism cannot be allowed to grow without resistance!
Please support the rebuilding of the Cyclops!
