Much had been documented about Walmart’s success during Hurricane Katrina, especially the utilization of its supply chain capabilities. Walmart was also first to deliver vital commodities to first responders and stranded citizens and was one of the first to reopen stores in the heavily impacted areas

What some of you may or may not know is that Walmart and Homeland security work together.
The Walmarts across America will be used as the main center for processing people if disaster strikes. Like during the aftermath of Katrina. The Garden centers will be for the line ups and holding as they attempt to identify you so you can receive a walmart AID cards which allows you to purchase a certain amount of emergency needs per month.

Come its not a big conspiracy. Fema camps are a good thing. There are too many people out there that shouldnt be running free let alone if there is a disaster with no law enforcement present.

When is ICE going to announce its new detention center located in the old Wal-Mart building. Or is this going to be a secret place? — In the Know, El Centro
El Centro city officials did say the builder on this project, the Government Services Administration, was being discrete initially.
However, it’s pretty clear by now that there are law enforcement components to the retrofitting of the old Wal-Mart next to Costco. The biggest hints are the sally ports, or secured entry ways similar to the kind you would see at a police station, jail or courthouse.
Lauren Mack, spokeswomen with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the investigation-heavy arm of the Department of Homeland Security, said ICE is bringing its two main departments in El Centro together under one roof — Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement and Removal Operations.
“About 160 employees from both departments will work in the new office, which is expected to open within the next 30 days,” she said. Mack explained the entire Valley operation will be in that building.
The office is not a detention center, but “detainees will be processed at this location, but will not be held onsite for longer than 12 hours,” Mack said.
City building and planning chief Norma Villicaña said DHS is only taking up about one-quarter to one-third of the total building space, or more than 30,000 square feet of the 120,000 square feet.
The area is zoned for general commercial and office space, so it could not function as a long-term holding area, she said.

"They " are preparing for the perfect storm.. The collaps of the dollar, a natural disaster and/or a war with a serious enemy. That is what I think.. I also think that this is also ther reason why "they" want all guns confiscated from US citizens...and are willing to go very far to accomplish this. They expect that risistance will not be very futile.

I doubt it. I mean, I wouldn't put anything past TPTB but even if they were, they would have scrapped the idea as soon as it started showing up on sites like this one.
It's far from the only way they could do it. And besides. If they were really planning on any kind of mass detention schemes, they would have to violate a lot of human rights to do so. I don't think they'd bother to put them all in nice cozy cells if they didn't care about human rights.

Did you miss the recent threads on people being held in Walmart's, also a year or so ago the threads about them being closed for plumbing and electrical work, this OP is 10 years old and was impressive prediction...
