Recent mysterious shutdowns of 5 Walmarts

[Recyclersteve]

Did anyone hear about the mysterious shutdown of 5 Walmart stores recently due to so-called plumbing problems?

The locations are:

Pico Rivera, CA
Tulsa, OK
Midland, TX
Livingston, TX
Brandon, FL

Note that Tulsa is the farthest north of the five locations. They were all supposedly shut down on the same day and are to remain shut down for 6 months due to "plumbing problems". The six months won't be finished until after the Shemitah cycle is expected to occur in September. There is speculation that with the military exercises being done in conjunction with Jade Helm that these locations could be used as detention centers should civil unrest occur.

Can anyone living close to one of these locations confirm or deny that the store is closed? If you can get close to the windows and peer in to see if there is any unusual activity going on, I'm curious as to what you might be able to discover. If there aren't any plumbing contractor trucks out front, that would also be a tad suspicious.

Don't do anything dangerous, but I'm curious what anyone can add to this post. Thanks in advance.

My guess is that they are shut down to bust a union or slow wage protesters. I think I heard that the one in California had a lot of employees protesting for higher wages. Maybe similar situations at the other stores, but just a guess.

there's an extensive thread over on BS about this, with links to tertiary sources that provide thorough (if speculative) detailed info

the working theory being that they have been reconditioned as storage depots and detention centers for the Jade Helm exercises.
