Weird Nationwide Walmart Closures Spark Conspiracy Theories

When we have the Country’s money hungriest animal chain store like Walmart, then suddenly announces the closing of 5 Walmart stores, for 6 months in different states over a claim of pluming problems, thats when all sorts of worries can creep in. Although the plumbing problem sounds like it could be a bunch of rubbish? An empty Walmart store would sure hold a lot of people in a make shift FEMA camp during Jade Helm 15, which already has conspiracy theorists thinking the worst after hearing this news. 

According to Prisonplanet.com –  Five different stores suddenly announced they were shutting up shop all for the same reason.

Walmarts in Pico Rivera, California, Livingston, Texas, Midland, Texas, Brandon, Florida, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, all made the announcement.

The news sparked wild conspiracy theories, with some linking the closures to Jade Helm, the upcoming military exercise which some fear is a dry run for martial law.

“A Walmart would make a perfect FEMA detention facility … see ya in the camps!” ranted one respondent.

Another wild theory is that the stores are being decontaminated after receiving radioactive food from the Fukushima region.

More rational theories involve speculation that Walmart has failed to adhere to building codes and may be using the plumbing excuse as a cover to get rid of dangerous construction materials like asbestos.

Others claim the notion that Walmart is closing the stores to avoid lawsuits doesn’t make sense since they would have liability insurance in place. The financial losses incurred by a 6 month closure would also be huge.

What’s bizarre about the closures is that they seem to have been announced with no planning whatsoever. Shelves were fully stocked and employees were given no warning before they were laid off.

At one Walmart store in Pico Rivera, California, employees protested the fact that they had been laid off with just five hours notice.
