It makes no sense for Wal Mart to close due to plumbing problems. At worst I believe they would rent a bunch of port-o-potties or a restroom trailer and stay open. They are too greedy to simply shut down numerous stores.
Just to feed into the conspiracy crap a little more - the construction of these stores span a full decade and used different contractors.
The Midland store was one of the top (five or ten) Walmarts in the NATION. That’s a major money maker.
There were DHS cars seen (and filmed) at the store in Oklahoma.
They were delivering to all of the stores just the night before they were shut down.
None of the stores have ever reported plumbing problems or been cited for code violations. None of the stores have requested permits to do major repairs.
An electrician who’s contracted with Walmart before said this:
“I’m an electrician and I used to work for a company that did repairs at Walmart’s, they make the contractors jump through hoops so they do not have to shut down or cause any inconvenience.”
“If it really was a plumbing issue, they would build completely new restrooms first then repair any issue afterwards. Also, knowing Walmart’s timelines, there is no way in hell any contractors would have 6 months to complete any repair project.”
I work for an engineering company. Last year we had a project to design/build a railroad loading and unloading facility at an “undisclosed location” in that could support a 100 car train.
Only thing I know about the location is that it is in Louisiana.
Alright. I’ve got my pet theory.
I thing that something very bad happened at those five stores - like terrorist bad.
Not a threat. A threat wouldn’t see the stores closed for six months. They’d only be closed while there was a threat.
No. I think that it’s something that’s going to require big time decontamination.
The government would be keen to keep this quiet to avoid panic.
I don’t think this has a darn thing to do with internment camps or housing illegals. There are many more practical options than shutting down million-dollar-a-week supercenters. (The Bell County Expo center comes to mind. Massive. Covered. Controlled exits. Much more isolated than a Walmart. I’m sure that there are stadiums that would fit the bill.)
I don’t think it has anything to do with the Jade Helm exercise. Again, there are other places to stage whatever that wouldn’t involve laying off 2,000 people and completely upsetting these local economies.
With the process of elimination, the stores being affected by some sort of contamination via terrorist attack is the only thing that I can come up with that would cause them to suddenly shut down and lie about it.

Sounds as if Texas IS having problems;

Has it occurred to anyone that they found something in the plumbing that needs to be addressed. Think of the liability if they announce “ we found this carcinogen in our plumbing system in stores built between X and Y.”

A bit of union busting intimidation I believe.
After reading this a few minutes ago, I had already emailed a friend of mine, whose wife is in Walmart Sr Mgmt, and posted that reply to another thread on FR, a little while ago.
Here’s her reply:
“Union stuff is stopped this way by Walmart.”M
OK people, here the latest I have here in East Texas. Tonight, I received word that we now have combat helicopters at a little crop duster airport in Woodville. They have brought in their own jet fuel trucks to fuel them. I passed by the Livingston Walmart and found no plumbers, but found a truck labeled Echo labs outside. The security vehicle was Identified as U.S. Security Association with a large wavy American flag painted from stem to stern, which of course made it more patriotic and no chance of being sinister. As I passed him, he cranked it up and followed me out of the parking lot. Then I get a call from a friend and we now have about 200+ soldiers camped in a field up around Doucette,( couple of miles north of Woodville), off highway 69 take a left on CR 1632. It rained so I couldn’t get down the road without 4x wheel drive, so I actually haven’t seen them with my own eyes, but completely trust the person that told me. The county Judge was called and asked point plank what was going on and he said the military will be “training” in Tyler county for awhile. He was not able to elaborate. I have to go to a funeral tommorow so I won’t be here to check further until next week. I will be contacting Congressman Babin to see if he will elaborate.
