Wal-Mart closings theories here in the USA

[spacemaverick]

Not sure what to think of this.  Hearing different theories.  Several stores being closed for "plumbing problems" in different cities.  This has residents and workers alike suspicious of the whole thing.  Is this related to Operation Jade Helm?  What's going on?  I have been following this but not sure what to make of it.

In a report published in July 2014 on Intellihub.com, Shepard Ambellas outlined a plan by the Department of Defense and FEMA to use, "abandoned or unused department stores, shopping malls and warehouses as camps to accommodate the mass human influx from South America."
...

Although FEMA has used a massive influx of immigrants as the reason for needing detention centers, their power to control the entire country in the event of a martial law scenario could easily lead them to use the centers for American citizens.

But a new theory brought forth by researcher and Youtube commentator Daboo777 suggests that Walmart might be working directly with the Department of Homeland Security and the so-called plumbing issues give them the pretext to bring in heavy machinery without having to explain the specific reasons for doing so with an overly curious public.

But what would this heavy machinery be for?

On a political discussion board in the United States ( which has pronounced liberal-progressive leanings ), the six closed WalMarts were ones that were active in unionizing workers.  Given a situation with large gaps in knowledge, people will read into those gaps whatever they want to support their position.   WalMart unexpectedly closes six store and it could be:

• Pluming Problems
• Government practice for Martial Law
• Union busting

Take your pick or make up your own.

However, two plumbing technicians who have worked for several years at the Brandon Walmart aren't buying the corporate statement.

"They don't even really shut down the stores when they remodel them," said Kelly Halbert.

Halbert says he's fixed some plumbing issues at the store, but nothing major.

"Just ordinary, standard maintenance problems. People drop things in toilets all the time, keys, cell phones, they flush em down, lines get clogged you snake em out. Standard," said Halbert.

His working associate Codi Bauer also doesn't believe the store is being closed due to plumbing issues.

" I've done a lot of maintenance work out there. I go out there and I unclog the drains, but there's been no major problems there, it's all been normal stuff that we do at every store," said Bauer.

Walmart did not immediately return an email requesting clarification about their previous statement.

I've seen remodel/resets at a couple of Walmarts.  It was business as usual.   The only one I've seen that was actually abandoned and rebuilt elsewhere was in Bartlesville.   If defunct malls are going to be used for housing,  they could have used a few in the Denver area.  We had several become ghost towns before being razed, and the property left to weeds and vandalism.

Really folks...fema?

I think the plumbing problem is stopping the flow of cash to employees who want more pay...
classic  message.. vote for a union or ask for more money and we'll just leave

The closures could last up to six months and affect roughly 2,200 workers in Texas, California, Oklahoma, and Florida, CNN Money reports.

Wal-Mart employees say they were completely blindsided by the news, having been notified only a couple hours before the stores closed at 7 p.m. Monday

All workers will receive paid leave for two months. After that, full-time workers could become eligible for severance, according to CNN Money. But part-time workers will be on their own.


.....
Some employees believe that the stores were closed because of worker protests for higher pay.

Employees of the Pico Rivera store were among the first to hold Black Friday protests in 2012.

"This is the first store that went on strike," an employee told CBS Los Angeles. "This is the first store in demanding changes for Walmart









http://consumerist.com/2015/04/16/walmart-raises-suspicions-after-closing-4-stores-in-same-day-for-plumbing-problems/

However, some local officials are questioning the veracity of this claim.

In Pico Rivera, CA, the City Manager tells CBS Los Angeles that he was blindsided by the closure, which affects more than 500 workers in the area. As of yesterday, he said that the city hadn't received any permit requests from the store.

Some employees at this store are questioning the motive, as it's been a focal point of the pro-union OUR Walmart movement, and was the first location to stage a wage-related walkout back in 2012.

"This is the first store that went on strike. This is the first store in demanding changes for Walmart," said one employee.

Walmart's closure of a Tampa-area store is likewise being met with skepticism.

..

Additionally, while this closure is being listed as temporary, a letter sent to the county claims the layoffs are permanent

Walmart is lying we know that.  The Brandon store is fairly new and employees would know if there were issues.

Why they are closing is the question.

Break the union is likely the reason.  I do not believe that there is a D.U.M.B. in the Tampa area.


I have not found a conspiracy map even that would indicate so and why would you want a base where there is a problem with sinkholes.

I do not believe that there is a D.U.M.B. in the Tampa area.

Tampa region geology  is a Karst limestone foundation.  This type of land is GREAT for sink holes and natural caverns created as water seeps down.  It is the WORST conditions for a D.U.M.B



Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, dolines, and caves





See these "Lakes" the Florida land salemen show you? Well they are not lakes but old sinkholes



Go look on Google Earth  You can see new ones starting to form



So no  there are no DUMBs under Florida... the ground is way to unstable for it  It would be cost prohibitive even for those with deep pockets

The inside of building is very interesting.  I don't think they need to move all of the shelving units to do plumbing!

What's up with the police presence.  Guarding what.  If there is nothing in store why guard it>

We should combine these two threads.

Corporate entities are not going to tell you everything.  All I can say is in my neck of the woods I watch a lot of freight come in in my county and a lot of it is Wal-Mart.  All you have to do is watch the trains and discover what is being carried and by whom.  Yes Wal-Mart and other corporate entities to become corporate entities helping government agencies during many disasters and this has been for a while now.  We can speculate about why the Wal-Marts were closed but will we ever know?

All we can do is remain vigilant and attempt to find the answers.  During disasters a large number of these entities come under executive orders to be taken over or at least help the government to distribute supplies to affected reas.  I remember seeing this during the 4 hurricanes that traversed Florid during 2004.  Even local government entities could come in and commandeer water supplies, food supplies, gas supplies etc....this type of thing has been in place for quite some time.

During the hurricanes government entities received priority on getting their electricity turned back on or repaired along with those with infirmities that were registered for their disabilities.  The closings baffle me and we have no clear answer but we should remain vigilant anyway.  My humble opinion.

Though Rick Perry seems to think it is all above board due to the fact that he insists the military is trustworthy.

Hmmmm......

[Shasta56]

I believe that the military is every bit as trustworthy as Rick Perry.  I believe that Rick Perry is every bit as trustworthy as my ex-husband.
