You did nothing to deserve this, #Tennessee: The white supremacist #AsatruFolkAssembly intends to build a residential compound in the Volunteer State. @Tennessean @TheTNHoller @tn_tribune @TNLookout @WPLN

It's to be called Sigrheim. Land has for it has been purchased at an undisclosed location in east-central #Tennessee. #AsatruFolkAssembly leader #MattFlavel describes it as app 1 1/2 hrs east of #Nashville.

For those who've not heard of them, #AsatruFolkAssembly is recognized as a hate group by the @splcenter. For good reason. This is their founder, Steve McNallen, who remains active and revered in the group. @KnoxvilleHoller

The #Tennessee location is unlike AsFA's other places (MN, CA, NC, FL). The plan is for #AsatruFolkAssembly members to move to TN, as #MattFlavel says he & family will. Plans include school and senior housing. @NC5 @WSMV @WKRN @FoxNashville

Who else is coming to #Tennessee? Meet some of their leaders and stalwarts: This is Patrick W. Cook, West Virginia, who trots out his Nazi toys for #AsatruFolkAssembly meetings. *Content warning* for this slide and following (racism, antisemitism).

This exchange between members & Lane Ashby, in Palm Coast, FL, is typical. #AsatruFolkAssembly openly hates people in multi-racial & multi-ethnic relationships. Ashby was promoted by Flavel not long ago. #BlackLivesMatter

This is Daniel Young of South Carolina. The 'Aryan call to action' language is commonplace in #AsatruFolkAssembly. He's also moving up the ranks, having been promoted by Flavel about a year ago. @ADL

This is Shane Duffy of Joliet, #Ilinois. Promoted earlier this year by #MattFlavel to full folkbuilder.

This is longtime member George Schindler, center, of Massachusetts. #AsatruFolkAssembly's antisemitism is virulent. He's pictured with #MattFlavel and Steve McNallen.

We have plenty more we can, and will, share. For now, we ask all our followers to RT. This is a big move on their part and not good news, especially for those in their targeted area.
