Wal-Mart: 'No Truth To The Rumors' Of Tunnels Being Built To Take Over Texas

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.

Do not reply to me. I'm on my way out to Walmart right now. To buy some tinfoil.

"house the headquarters of invading troops from China, here to disarm Americans one by one."

 

Ridiculous. Absurd. Everyone knows it's UN troops that are here to disarm us.

While the conspiricy theorists are working overtime, that doesn’t change the fact this Jade Helm 15 exercise is worthy of suspicion.

I can't help but wonder if this sort of kookery isn't planted by leftist trolls.

Never Believe ANTYHING until it's been Officially Denied.

Or is that what they want us to think?

"I can't help but wonder if this sort of kookery isn't planted by leftist trolls."

Yep, in order to marginalize ANY criticism of Jade Helm.

[Perseverando]

It’s all true. I’m about 4 miles from the nearest Walmart and I can hear the digging all night just like it’s under my bed. </snark>

[Buckeye McFrog]

Everyone knows that for maximum operational secrecy, the tunnels will be built under Kmart stores.

Did I give you permission to photograph me? Did I?

DID I???

There is also NO truth to the rumors that these tunnels, WHICH DO NOT EXIST, are also being used to manufacture enough Jenkem to give several major metropolitan areas hallucinations, causing MASS ROAD RAGE and EBOLA ZOMBIES!

I’ve been getting paid in pesos to dig the tunnels!!! I confess. you’re all going to die die die !!!!!

“house the headquarters of invading troops from China, here to disarm Americans one by one.”

I would suggest they NOT disarm them one by one. The only chance they have is a mass disarming. And good luck with that.

Could the irony (name of the spokesperson) be any thicker?

I'm on my way to stock up.

I can't help but wonder if this sort of kookery isn't planted by leftist trolls.

In a paper written by Cass Sunstein when he was at Columbia university he laid out ways to use conspiracy theories to discredit political enemies.

Yet, we’ve always been told, here on FR, that they would be “Re-education Centers” for the neo-Communist rulers after Obamugabe declares martial law and rounds up all the conservatives.
