Did anyone besides me wonder how they got all those and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down? Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous.
I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.
In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years.
These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or .
This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

Re: FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
As long as we continue to re-elect these clowns the more waste and war we will get. Your damned right it was planned. Wait and see what the Senate republicans do. They're going to INCREASE spending in their deal now instead of cutting anything let alone defunding Obamacare. Watch it will happen. Washington D.C. politicians and a lot of local ones too, are like a the movies. It's the same old formula just different players acting out the script that usually goes like this.
1. Create problem by making everyone believe that your doing it for their betterment or my favorite, "Think of the children", or "It's to keep you safe".
2. Make unconstitutional laws and award government contracts to buddies to secure a lobbying job after you quit being a congresscritter. (Somewhere along the lines of 60% of ex-congressmen become lobbyist after retiring.)
3. Attempt to fix problem(create new flawed laws) using the same logic that they used to create the problem in the first place.
4. When all doesn't go as planned, either cook the books, silence the whistleblowers or create another problem to take the people's minds off of the original problem.
Rinse, wash and repeat.
