Wal-Mart issued a statement Monday to TPM dismissing “rumors” that tunnels were being built by the U.S. military beneath closed stores in an attempt to launch a takeover of Texas.
“There’s no truth to the rumors,” Wal-Mart spokesperson Lorenzo Lopez told TPM via email.
The tunnels are part of a series of conspiracy theories surrounding “Jade Helm 15,” a military training operation set to take place later this year in seven Western states. The conspiracy theorists have said the operation may be part of a covert attempt to takeover Texas and other states.
In response to the theories, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) last week issued an order for the state guard to monitor the U.S. military — a decision he defended on Monday.
Theorists have suggested that five Wal-Mart retail locations were shuttered abruptly because of Jade Helm 15. They have suggested that the closed stores, one of which is located in Texas, will serve as “food distribution centers” and will be used to “house the headquarters of invading troops from China, here to disarm Americans one by one.”
Another theory suggested that there was already a system of underground tunnels below the closed Wal-Marts.
How are the righties going to outdo this conspiracy theory? I think they have hit the critical mass of insanity
I read about the tunnels last week. Why’d it take them days to come with this press release, eh? Were they worried about being caught in their web of lies!!?!?!?
And have you ever noticed that Illuminati, Area 51, and Wal-Mart share exactly ONE letter? And that THAT letter is used ONCE in ONE word, TWICE in another, and TWICE in ONE word, THE NAME OF THEIR COMPANY, which is really TWO-WORDS just put together with a sideways ONE (1)??!?!?! You think that’s a ¨¨COINCIDENCE¨¨¨???
sure but HELLARY used to be on the walmart BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Oh, sure, that’s what they want you to believe…
I believe it’s “Hitlery,” and your misspelling of it just proves you ARE A GOVERNMENT THUG AGENT.
