Mainstream Media Confirms Conspiracy Theory That Walmart Stores Are Being Turned into Prison Camps

in #news6 years ago

 

When citizens began to ask questions about why Walmart stores were  suddenly closing in in southern states in 2015, the mainstream media  insisted that the closures were due to plumbing problems and that any  suggestion of government involvement was a crazy conspiracy theory.  Three years later, the MSM is finally admitting that several of those  Walmart stores were converted into detention centers, which now house  immigrant children who have been separated from their parents. 

At least 1,500 boys are currently being detained in Brownsville, Texas, where NBC News reported that they “spend 22 hours per day during the week (21 hours on weekends) locked inside a converted former Walmart,” where at least five boys are packed into rooms built for four. Many of those in prisons across the United States get more yard time than these children. The boys range in age from 10 to 17 years old, and the average stay  at the center is around 52 days.

If the idea of imprisoning young boys  as if they are felons for two months’ straight sounds agonizing and  cruel, that is because it is. A small group of reporters was allowed  inside the facility, and the report from NBC claimed that guard asked  them to “smile at the hundreds of detained migrant kids in line for a meal because ‘they feel like animals in a cage being looked at.’”  

A report from ABC News also noted that the detention center in Brownsville “was once a Walmart,” and while it claimed that the facility was “clean and well-staffed, with activities to keep the kids busy and their minds off their unfortunate situation,” it also noted that this was “a media tour, and journalists weren’t allowed to interview any of the children.” 

“Where there were once racks of clothes and aisles of appliances,  there were now spotless dorm-style bedrooms with neatly made beds and  Pokémon posters on the walls,” the New York Times reported,  noting that the converted Walmart store is now the largest licensed  migrant children’s shelter in the country, but failing to point out that  it was one of many stores that mysteriously went out of business when  President Obama was still in office. 

At the time, citizens became concerned when a number of Walmart  stores mysteriously went out of business in Texas, Oklahoma, California,  and Florida starting in April 2015. The mainstream media and its  “trustworthy fact-checker” Snopes.com were adamant that the closures  were due to plumbing problems, as Walmart claimed, and that there was no government involvement. 

However, the reality that the former stores are, in fact, being used  by the government, and that they are being used to imprison migrant  children who have been separated from their parents, made headlines  recently when Senator Jeff Merkley attempted to enter the converted  Walmart in Brownsville, and he was denied entry by police. 

“When I was at the center at McAllen Border Station, this is the  processing center, earlier and I was admitted there and I did see the  people, hundreds of children locked up in cages there at that facility, Merkley said in an interview with CNN. 

“They  have big cages made out of fencing and then wire and nets stretched  across the top of them so people can’t climb out of them.” 

While it is not clear whether any of the children in the detention  center in Brownsville are being kept in cages, it is clear that the  government worked diligently to keep facts from the public. The young children who are forcefully separated from their parents  are treated like prisoners and taken to detention centers where they are  forced to live among hundreds of other children they have never met.  

The lifelong consequences can be detrimental, and in some cases, these  children will never see their parents again. The individual cases are horrific, and Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal recently shed light  on her experience visiting a facility near Seattle where she met with  more than 170 women who were taken into custody near the southern U.S.  border. 

“Thirty to 40 percent of these women came with children who had  been forcibly taken away from them. None got a chance to say goodbye to  their children—they were forcibly taken away,” Jayapal told The Nation. 

One  said she was deceived because they were in detention together. Then the  CBP officers told her she was going out to get her photograph taken.  When she came back, she was put in a different room, and she never got  to see the child again. Some of them said they could hear their children  screaming for them in the next room.” 

A father from Honduras, who came to the United States with his family  to seek asylum, was so distraught after he was separated from his wife  and child that he killed himself while he was left alone in a jail cell last month. In another case, a mother from Honduras who came to the U.S. seeking asylum with her family said she was breastfeeding her infant at a detention center when her baby was suddenly taken from her with no warning and no explanation. 

A former employee of one of the detention centers is now speaking out  after he said he quit in protest after he saw how horrific the process  was for the children. Antar Davidson said he watched young children  being “ripped from their parents” and sent to a detention center, where  in some cases, no one spoke the same language they did. Davidson claimed the facility was understaffed, the employees lacked the proper training, and as a result, the children were “extremely traumatized.” 

He also said the workers were underpaid, while “the CEO and his wife clear more than a million dollars a year in mostly federal tax money and undercut the services we need.” 

“It’s a basic private prison deal in the guise of this shelter,” Davidson said. “So  the people at the end of the day, when they have to put the kids to  sleep have already worked an eight-hour shift and are often times asked  to stay overtime. On top of that, these kids are running up and down the  halls screaming, crying for their mom, throwing chairs. Everyone is  tired. The under-trained staff is dealing with an increasingly  traumatized population of minors.”  

As The Free Thought Project has reported, while there have always  been people seeking asylum in the U.S. from other countries, it should  be noted that the “War on Drugs” in the United States has contributed  both to violence in the countries immigrants are seeking asylum from,  and an increase in drug trafficking over the border that has resulted in  all migrants being treated like criminals. Former Congressman Ron Paul noted last year that the War on Drugs has “produced no benefit to the American people at a great cost,” and “just as with the welfare magnetthere is an enormous incentive to smuggle drugs into the United States.” 

There is also the troubling concern over what is happening to the  immigrant children who are separated from their parents. While the idea  of an innocent child being locked in a cage is troubling, it is not the  worst fate many of the children are subjected to. The Health and Human  Services Department recently admitted that nearly 1,500 immigrant children have gone missing, and many of them are suspected to have been kidnapped by human traffickers.

Sort:  

Everyone is going to die. There is no 'safety'.
Sacrificing the real freedom of others for the illusion of safety for yourself is the height of cowardice and will be universally acknowledged as such in time.
After you die; and you will; will your great grandchildren change their surname, trying to get the stink off?

Wow, that seems a bit hyperbolic but I love the spirit!

give it time at it wont be just immigrants in those what will become F.E.M.A. camps. it will be everyone who doesn't fit the bill for N.W.O, where they will be sorted into valuable, slaves, or invaluable.. and i'm sure you can deduce where invaluable will lead.
