Garden City, Kansas to become new poster-city for
the joys of BIG MEAT-generated multiculturalism,
by Ann Corcoran 5/21/17
If you’ve been reading RRW for a
bunch of years, you probably heard about the propaganda film featuring
Shelbyville, TN that a left-wing-funded media outfit did back in 2007. The film
was a whitewashed look at the turmoil created in the town when Tyson Foods
‘welcomed’ refugee (mostly Somali labor) to Shelbyville.
In the Shelbyville flick a local newspaper
reporter who wrote a series of stories about the disruption the Somalis had
brought to town was the villain in the film that was ultimately shown around
the world about how great it was that the locals finally accepted their African
brothers. (Here is one of many
posts I wrote about the Shelbyville
propaganda film.)
Now, check this out, a new propaganda film (actually two of them) are
being filmed this summer in Garden City, Kansas.
(That Shelbyville film is too old now, they need something new for the
Trump-era.)
They have villains too! You
will see them discussed in the opening paragraphs here at The Garden City Telegram.
Just like the Shelbyville film, the
Garden City film(s) will be used to shame other towns in to accepting a flood
of third world diversity.
What a coincidence…..Here (below) are
a few snips from this latest news. Guess what? It is Tyson Foods that
brought the ready supply of cheap refugee labor to Garden City too! What are the odds
that this film company will bring up the issue of low wage (cheap!) immigrant
labor? Zip! Zero! Nada!
I was going to visit Garden City last summer on my 6000-mile trip to
see some of America’s meatpacking towns that have been changed by BIG MEAT, but my local contact (not happy with what has happened to
G-C) had a family emergency, so I went to Nebraska instead.
Maybe I should resuscitate my idea
about a book that shows how major global corporations, like the meat and
poultry industry, are changing America for one reason—Low wage workers means
PROFITS for them!
And, then along come these Leftwing
film makers to shut up any citizen opposition and help BIG MEAT get its
laborers for decades to come! Makes me wonder if Tyson Foods is helping
pay for the project! Hmmmm!
The Garden City Telegram: When Lawrence-based documentary filmmakers Tess Banion and
Bob Hurst heard this news [about villains in western Kansas—ed], they decided
their next project was going to take place in Garden City.
Their documentary will be a feature
length film, so 90 to 100 minutes, and will try to illustrate how Garden City’s
diverse culture works by diving deep into immigrants’ stories. [These leftwingers love their
“stories,” we need to get better at telling ours!—ed]
“This is
not going to be a journalistic piece,” Hurst said. “It’s more of a portrait. I think it’s more personal
and more in depth about the lives of particular individuals who have come to
Garden City and have been there for a long time, or new arrivals and what they
have gone through personally and what their stories are.”
Hurst said their goal for their new film is for viewers to reflect on
the lives of others, and find that every resident of Garden City is working
toward the same goals. [Fascinating admission that they are trying to bend minds—ed]
To help understand the mindset of long-term Garden City residents,
Hurst and Banion have enlisted the help of Nancy Harness, former mayor and
longtime resident of Garden City. Harness
said she is excited to be a part of the film and hopes that the documentary can
serve to be an ambassador for the town.
“I think that the community is
unique in how we dealt with the diversity of cultures, and it’s nice to have
that be recognized by people from outside the community,” Harness said.
“ I think part of my job here is to
be an ambassador for Garden City and western Kansas. It’s an intriguing place
and interesting community. To be part of the crew to introduce that community
to a larger audience is cool.”
Harness said she hopes that residents who are hesitant of immigrants
watch the film and reflect on why Garden City has welcomed immigrants in the
past.
BIG MEAT changed Garden
City! “Part of what happened was that in 1980, we opened the
world’s largest beef packing plant,” she said. “They needed 3,000 folks to just
keep the plant running. Well, where are those workers going to come from?
When the community
decided that’s how they wanted to move forward economically, we basically said
as a community we will open our doors to new people because that’s the only way
this will work. I hope that this film gives the life-long locals who might be
hesitant to this immigrant change a moment to stop and think about how the only
reason Garden works is that everybody feels some ownership to it.”
Obviously that is not true that everybody feels
some ownership of the meat industry’s need for cheap labor and its role in
changing the demographics of American heartland towns. And, btw, in case you
are wondering, the meat industry once paid wages that were very attractive to
AMERICAN workers.
It is only when they discovered
first the illegal aliens willing to work for less, and then ultimately the
refugee laborers whose low wages you subsidize with your welfare support, were
they able to keep wages low.Continue reading here.
Here is a lengthy story from the Wichita Eagle in 2010 with more
background on Garden City and Tyson Foods. One of my favorite stories about
Garden City (and Harness role) was this one from 2010 where we learned that Somalis in Garden City wanted
their own (separate) publicly funded cemetery. No association with infidels
even in death!
Another controversy long-time
readers might remember is the one about Emporia, Kansas and how the arrival of
the Somali labor force there for, yes, another Tyson Foods plant, roiled the
town so much so that Tyson closed the plant!
Don’t miss this post: Trump refugee number reduction could hurt BIG MEAT (at
Bloomberg no less!). Here is one of about 20 posts I wrote on the controversy in Emporia.
Unfortunately most of the links are
now dead, so it’s a good thing I did snip articles throughout the period back
in 2008. Some of those Emporia Somalis moved to Garden City.
It is really too bad that
there aren’t documentary film makers with some cash to tell the other side of
the ‘diversity is beautiful’ story to balance the Garden City films in the
works.
Is it time for a modern day version
of The
Jungle?
