Wth is going on with Walmart?
For 5-6 days, I have hearing, reading & looking at videos of the bizarre behavior of Walmart.

5 major Walmart supercenters have closed down, (on the same day) with no notification to the public or their employees. ALL claim that they have "plumbing issues". Yet NONE have filed for permits for reconstruction. And they are saying, these stores will be closed for 6 months * but it only takes 6 months for a Walmart store to go up*

Now.. Walmart is also planning to close stores in China & Brazil. Claiming they are either relocating or rebuilding.

Walmart has been tied to DHS, since Hurricane Katrina. Saying this was for "distribution purposes of goods".
Since then.. they have had " facial recognition cameras" at every entrance / exist. Claiming that "85% of ALL Americans will at one time or another use Walmart".

It gets scarier... rumor has it that there are currently 7 locations for CERN (anti matter). 4 in the USA, one in China & one in Brazil. * the other 2... no idea*


Thoughts.... CERN, Asteroids, ISIS/ Russia, Marshall Law... what

laugh Snopes.com ~'Plumbing Problems' Abruptly Close Multiple WalMart Stores

dot.com.....

While I don't know the fact reason for the abrupt closing I do know that there is a major shift going on ( and has been for the last 5 years.. but picking up more steam now) in retail sales. Target slashed 1,000's of job. Some others have as well. Some have gone belly up. Sears / K-Mart is on the bubble.

Internet sales are near 40% of consumer sales... and growing ( with the exception of food)

Fact is, people do not want to get in their car and shop for stuff they can click and buy. Retailers can not continue to absorb the operating and payroll expenses of " brick & mortar" centers..so they look at their worst performers and shut em down.. that what I would do.

Wal Mart was a little slow to get on board with the dot.com but they will pick it up very fast. Others will not be quick enough.. or can not catch up and they will fold.

Wal Mart has the most sophisticated supply chain system in the world and the most well run inventory control/ reorder system ( retail link) out of any company.. anywhere.

6 or so years ago, we didn't even want to bother selling to the "dotcom's" of the world because logistics and routing requirements were a hassle. So we declined.

Today.. it is approx. 35% of our business.. and growing.. rapidly. Now..If you don't sell to the dotcoms.. you.. are out of business. In fact I can see where our business will be more then 60% dotcom.... maybe more. at some point in time

Same situation in China and Europe.. or anywhere else.. if there is internet.. there is dotcom

Look for more " for lease signs to go up" in your local shopping center. The large stores will be the next dinosaurs you see.

The closure of the Tulsa store was announced in the local daily paper before the closure took place.

Where does the OP get the wild claims that she posted?

TealBreeze provided the link and this was what I found when I clicked on it...there's more reading on the article with much more details for factual truth too >>>

On 13 April 2015, several separate WalMart locations in the United States abruptly closed their doors. The cited reason for the closures (according to the chain’s corporate offices) was plumbing problems at the affected stores.

On 14 April 2015, the number of suddenly shuttered stores was widely rumored to total six, a number dwarfed in the context of the chain’s 4,520 locations. However, the closures sparked widespread online speculation (including several threads on Reddit) piqued by a few anomalous aspects of those closures.

Affected stores as of 14 April 2015 included Tulsa, Oklahoma; Tampa, Florida; Midland and Livingston, Texas; and Pico Rivera, California. A Twitter user snapped a photograph of a sign posted at the latter location:

I've never been a fan of Walmart.
When I read about, or hear, of a Walmart closing,
it makes me smile.

Damn! Google it! All kinds of rumors of Walmart and DHS co-operation for some type of tunnel system under the guise of "plumbing repairs" for which no permits have been filed by walmart?

Seems even Janet Napalitano mentioned it in some 2009 TV ad thanking Walmart for their participation.

Just one example....

lmfao, first time in Oklahoma Wallmart.

Welcome to Walmart!

I had to pee so bad when we got there. Went in the front rest rooms.

A young mother was holding on her hip a 10 month old baby in front of the mirrors on the sink....


While I smelled this gawd awful smell I've never smelled before like burning tires and she was smoking a glass pipe.

sick

Underground jails have already been built to imprison any protesters to the NWO. Capacity in the millions. Depressing.

one weird thing about it is that there have been no plumbing permits issued for any of the cities/stores that had the "plumbing" problems...

"" A Wal-Mart spokesman told
Consumerist that the company had not
secured permits "because we have yet to
know the full extent of the work that
needs to be done. We may also have to
do additional upgrades that may require
additional permits."
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.""
