Review: Welcome To Shelbyville

Shelbyville is not Mayberry anymore - and that's a bad thing.

Welcome To Shelbyville is a 2011 PBS Independent Lens documentary which first popped up on my radar screen when Jack Ryan started writing about the Muslim colonization of Middle Tennessee.

Jack’s post was actually about the local resistance to the nearby Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, but I stumbled across the parallel Muslim colonization of Shelbyville last summer while searching for a YouTube video to insert into his article.

Shelbyville is a city of 20,105 residents located in Bedford County, TN. It is 35 minutes south of Murfreesboro, a city of 108,755 people, which is located just to the north in Rutherford County, TN.

From 2000 to 2010, Shelbyville, TN went from being 77.14% White to 68.29% White. According to the 2010 Census, the non-Hispanic White population in Shelbyville has actually plummeted down to 63% with Hispanics rising from 14.55% of the population in 2000 to 20.3% in 2010.

Shelbyville is best known though for the 400 to 1,000 Somalian refugees who have been resettled in the area by the US State Department’s Office of Refugee Resettlement. There are now around 150,000 Somalian refugees in the United States with more than 5,000 of them living in the Nashville area.

Welcome To Shelbyville is a “progressive” documentary that celebrates the demographic displacement of White Southerners in a town comparable to Mayberry. Muslims and Hispanics are arriving in Shelbyville to work at the local Tyson chicken plant. They are taking the jobs, changing the culture, and elbowing out the natives.

The film is deceptively edited to portray the natives in the worst possible light as racist bigots who are resistant to “change.” George Soros puppet organizations like the “Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition” (TIRRC) and the “Welcoming Tennessee Initiative” (WTI) were involved in its production. The WTI and TIRRC have put up billboards and held events in Shelbyville to “educate” the natives about their new Hispanic and Somali neighbors.

Welcome To Shelbyville was shot in the context of Obama’s election to drive home the point that “Shelbyville isn’t Mayberry anymore” and that area is being resettled by a more pliable electorate that is dependent on federal patronage and corporate jobs.

Tyson Foods, the US State Department, and VOLAGs (voluntary agencies) which receive federal funding are the primary culprits responsible for introducing this “change” to Shelbyville. The League of the South (LS) will arrive on October 12 to organize the resistance.

  1. Correct, Rudel, except that “Cathars” were mostly a myth of Roman propaganda or a pejorative misapplied to the vast majority who were not gnostics but TRUE Christians — unlike their land-grabbing, looting mass murderers.

    Remember that I did not introduce the subject of Cathars on OD, but I am prepared to defend my understanding of the true history of CENTURIES of criminal injustice and genocide of true Christians by the anti-Christ false church from the Atlantic to Mesopotamia.

    Get a grip Mosin. As you point out, it was always all about power-grabbing barons and earls controlling the most lucrative manors and estates. The French and the Italians were almost always at each others throats for centuries. Wasn’t Leo out of town leading an army in France when Luther came to Rome?

    Religion is always just propaganda for one side or the other when vying for land and riches.

    You can’t mean “always” literally. True religion is not propaganda for a group to justify greed and murder. White Christians being persecuted, looted and genocided and smeared is not a minor issue, though I did not introduce the subject here. Let the proposed new Southron independent nation BEWARE of assistance from, and guidance and finally, CONTROL, by false Christian organised religion!
