Heavy Rain at Burning Man Festival Traps 70,000 Attendees, Virus Rumors Circulate
By Brittany Sheehan | 8:20 PM on September 02, 2023



The Burning Man Festival is held in the desert of Black Rock City, Nevada. This year's festival opened with a viral video of climate change activists blocking traffic with law enforcement responding.

Now, the controversy has spun into a chaotic scene the festival organizers are declaring a National Emergency. Can a festival declare a National Emergency? That's beside the point right now.

Not to worry, the drugs will make the time fly until it dries up.

Bunch of Pikers.  Back in august of 69 a group of 400K hippies managed to survive storms, mud, lack of food for days.

I could never see why people go to Burning Man, but hey, I have older cousins who were at Woodstock.

With 5,000 VCs and 65,000 registered Democrats trapped in Black Rock City, Biden is under pressure to declare the event a national disaster.

Biden should go there with his special water podium and talk about climate change.

Gotta give credit for the ziplock booties. Save water for drinking.

(I think the ziplock bag is one of the greatest and most versatile innovations known to man.)

Or more recently, about the time he wet himself.

Yikes.

Burning Man is a poor man’s Bohemian Grove
Location: Black Rock City, Nevada
Burning man itself is an edm flavored occult ritual of the Druids who would burn criminals and also sometimes innocent people if supply was low.
Founders of Burning Man are Larry Harvey and John Law.
Burning Man has some of the highest suicide rates for staff and volunteers.
Attendees are sacrificed spiritually by unknowingly consenting to energy harvesting of qlipothic demons and void magick.

Yikes.

Indeed!

[Maj. Bill Martin]

So the "Burners" have had their party cancelled?   Gee, that's...awesome.

[Mod2]

Merged threads. One is enough for Burning Man.

[Fishrrman]

I never got was this "burning man" thing was supposed to be about, in any case.

Who would want to camp out on a dry lake bed in the Nevada desert in the blazing sun?

At least do it in a farmer's field, like the hippies at Woodstock.
(I was there, still have an original festival staff shirt [might be the best surviving example in the USA] and my original ticket)

Did JoePedo tell you about the time the swimming pool next to the house split open and flooded the kitchen?

More fun at Burning Man...
Hundreds of three-eyed 'dinosaur shrimp' emerge from mud pits at Burning Man as 70,000 revelers escaped flooded Nevada festival

    Intense rain over the weekend during Burning Man woke a rare species
    Hundreds of fair[sic] shrimp emerged from the mud during the festival

Heavy rains that poured down on 70,000 Burning Man attendees have also awoken hundreds of three-eyed 'dinosaur shrimp' from their slumber.

The small creatures, known as fairy shrimp, were encased in a thick shell for years until rainstorms drenched the Nevada festival, typically a dry wasteland, and provided an optimal environment to hatch.

The crustaceans were spotted emerging from the mud pits as revelers escaped the flooded desert and will start laying more eggs over the next week.

Fairy shrimp are known as 'living fossils' as similar forms date back to the Cambrian Period, more than 500 million years ago.

and then there is this:

Burning Man revelers complaining about 'harrowing' escapes from flooded desert are mocked for being hysterical - as it emerges the president has been briefed

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12477027/Burning-Man-revelers-complaining-harrowing-escapes-flooded-desert-mocked-hysterical-emerges-president-briefed.html

Burning Man revelers have been mocked for complaining about their 'harrowing' escapes from the desert festival after it was hit by severe flooding.

Burners were ridiculed online after complaining they were 'trapped' - with 70,000 reported stranded over the weekend - following the rain in Nevada.

Social media users pointed out it was 'supposed to be a post-apocalyptic'-style event and they had just experience what they should have expected.

Makes me wonder how many 'rare shrimp' got squished as they drove out...

[Polly Ticks]

     

Their eggs are said to have 'tenacious vitality'. They can remain in the soil for a few years before hatching in freshwater and even survive being boiled.

Wow. Tenacious indeed.

Uh oh. Call the EPA.

Uh oh. Call the EPA.

They're busy following up on all the whales that are dying from the offshore wind farms.
