Consider: Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart Store Locations
The announcement of sudden closings of several Wal-Mart locations, giving the same reason in every instance, immediately rang of old-school .Gov explanations of events that slack-jawed bureaucrats would utter, or arrogant untouchables, to many of us who are old enough to remember when the Cold War was still being played above the fold.  Ask the Kremlin spokesperson why the public has not seen Stalin in 50 years, the answer was often akin to "Great Leader is fine!  He is vibrant and fathering many new sons for the Fatherland!  He has a small head cold."  Of course that is tongue-in-cheek, but not by much.  Many of us remember that sort of pablum from foreign governments as well as our own.  

Wal-Mart's closings for plumbing in several cities sounded familiar.

Perhaps Wal-Mart was simply throwing a snit after being forced to raise their unit-cost-of-labor recently.  A few pennies per hour, per employee (with the associated rise in pennies per hour paid in taxes to Uncle Sam) is not chump change when your operation is as vast as is Wal-Mart's.  In a company like Wal-Mart, one simply can't easily pass-on the new overhead expenses to the consumers - not while keeping their edge over competitors.  So, maybe closing a set of stores in designated places was a tantrum, or a warning shot.  "You make us lose money, we throw hundreds of your locals out of work!"

Perhaps the plumbing broke in those stores.  Could happen.

Here's where my dot-connecting took me yesterday: Rightful Liberty Report had a headline recently about .Gov running Special Operations Forces programs targeting Social Media.  Here's a link from 2012, and another from 2015.  We all know that Wal-Mart has a working relationship with FedGov (and local .Govs) at many levels.  Without question, Wal-Mart has become a fundamental part of our national infrastructure.  If every Wal-Mart closed tomorrow, I dare say our nation would stumble pretty heavily - people would die - before other retailers could fill the vacuum.

Until I get strong evidence to the contrary, I am going to conclude that the Wal-Mart announcement to close several stores, in the manner they chose to announce it (a manner that was CERTAIN to catch the attention of conspiracy-minded folk) was a dye-pack thrown into the water for the benefit of .Gov to see how the online world responded.  Who responded.  How they responded.  Conclusions reached.  Actions taken.  It was a full-spectrum test.

Judging by what I watched yesterday - if there is a coordinated multi-agency monitoring system in place to watch the web, they had a good day yesterday.  The Alex Jones "There is a conspiracy at the bottom of EVERY happenstance in the world of man & nature" crowd responded as expected.  The genuine whack-a-doos to the outer-fringes of the Alex Jones audience are probably still in their bunkers.  Even mainstream media jumped into the fray (perhaps because they have a knee-jerk hatred for Wal-Mart) and began researching pulled permits, et cetera in the jurisdictions affected.

If - and I mean IF - the Wal-Mart announcement was a dye-pack test, then the people running the test learned a tremendous amount about how you, and many of our neighbors, will react to future such events.  They will plug holes where they see vulnerabilities to their own defenses (they'll learn to lie better) and they are mapping places/phrases/people/groups that can be exploited.

RevWarIII is in full swing, folks.  That is why I have weighed everything about the Wal-Mart event that I have available to me, sifted it through my life-experiences filters, and concluded that it was a test.  I will operate under that premise until I am convinced I am wrong.

My conclusion, having decided it was a test by OpFor - they have plans of extirpation, too.  They believe in CA's conclusion that a continental-wide war of extermination is inevitable.  They mean to win this war. 

And they are NOT playing defense.

You and I are NOT on their team - we are to be manipulated into favorable fighting zones.

Take my two cents for whatever it may be worth to you.  For me, I am simply more convinced they are coming, with everything they've got, before the 2016 vote.
