    "VI ÄR INGET RASISTBAND!!!

    Den senaste tidens skriverier om oss i rockbandet Ultima Thule har kretsat kring orosfyllda betraktelser över att så många, och ett växande antal människor lyssnar på och gillar musik med patriotiska texter. Nu försöker man hejda framgången genom lämplig information eller indoktrinering, genom taktisk mörkläggning av obekväma fakta. Expo är en av många som använder lögner och förtal som ett vapen i sin kamp mot oss i Ultima Thule. Expo tror att endast deras uppfattning är den rätta, att dom sitter inne med den absoluta sanningen och i deras värld är alla rasister som inte delar deras uppfattning. De använder ständigt McCarthyismens komprometterande metod "Guilt by association"

    Ideligen stämplas vi som ett rasistband, Alla begår de samma misstag, de fördömer rasism utan att idefiniera detta begrepp, och de fördömer alla de som lyssnar på Ultima Thule. Det är ett hån mot alla våra fans att kalla dem rasister och nazister. Massmedia nöjer sig inte med att fördöma oss som utpekade "rasister" utan uppmanar även till kamp som mot ett slags skadedjur i en massmediakampanj, och begår därmed brott mot de demokratiska fri- och rättigheterna, som de själva åberopar.

    Vi i Ultima Thule är inget rasist eller nazistband. Vi betraktar oss inte som bättre än andra människor. Därtill har dessa rasföreställningar inget med oss att göra. Så mycket kurage har vi, så att om vi är rasister så hade vi stått för det.. Och använd inte ordet "rasism" som ett skällsord. Vi frågar oss hur det mentala hälsotillståndet är i vårt land när patriotiska texter om Sverige, när texter om vår historia, likställs med rasism. Detta är endast ett led i en häxprocessliknande förföljelse av alla som vågar stå upp för Sverige. Detta är lika vidrigt som när skolungdomar inte får sjunga vår nationalsång p.g.a. rädsla för växande rasism.

    Vi lever i en alltmer krympande och gränsöverskridande värld och i en sådan är det viktigt för människor att känna hemhörighet i sitt eget land och att människor känner sin nationella förankring. Om inte vi Svenskar får känna aktning och stolthet över vårt eget land utan att bli kallade rasister så är det svårare att visa andra respekt för deras identitet och särdrag. Bara en som aktar sig själv kan visa andra aktning.

    Vi har tagit fasta på vår rätt att vara stolta över vårt eget land och vi accepterar inte några obskyra proffstryckare ska sammankoppla vår musik med rasism och nazism.

    WE ARE NOT A RACIST BAND!!!

    The recent articles about us in the rock band Ultima Thule have been revolving around upsetting observations of the fact that very many, and a growing amount of grown-ups listen to and enjoy music with patriotic lyrics. They are now trying to (hide?) the progress through indoctrination, through tactical silencing of uncomfortable facts. Expo is one of many who use lies and rumors as a weapon against us members of Ultima Thule. Expo believes that as long as their perception is the right one, the people who knows the absolute truth are all racists who don't share their views. They often use the compromising method of McCharthyism, "Guilt by association"

    We are judged as a racist band. Everyone makes the same mistake, they condemn racism without defining this word, and they condemn all who listen to Ultima Thule. Calling them racists and nazis is a mockery of our fans. Mass media doesn't settle with condemning us as the "racists", but even provoke to a battle against a type of vermin in a mass media campaign, thus breaking the democratic rights to freedom, which they use themselves.

    We in Ultima Thule are not a racist or nazi band. We don't look at ourselves as any better than other people. Therefore, these judgements have nothing to do with us. We would have the courage to stand for racism is we were... and do not use the word "racism" to flame people. We ask ourselves how the mental health is in our country when patriotic lyrics about Sweden, when lyrics of our history, is compared to racism. This is just like a witch hunt against all who dare to stand up for Sweden. This is just as ridiculus as when scoolkids are not allowed to sing the national anthem because of fears of growing racism. We're living in a more and more shrinking and barrier braking world, and it is important for people to feel that they belong to their own country, and that people know their national origin. If us Swedish are not allowed to be proud of our our countries without being called racists, it's difficult to show respect for people's identity and abilities. Only someone who fear themselves can be afraid other people.

    We practice the right to be proud of our own country, and we do not accept that obscure professional writers compare our music to racism and nazism.

    I like their music but I had doubts about their ideology for a while. Apparently, they&#39;ve changed but they used to be friendly with the Nazis.
