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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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... :shrug:

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.

What the Burning Man ‘emergency’ reveals about the class divide
How did a handful of rain-soaked hipsters command so much more attention than genuine disaster victims?
Jenny Holland
5th September 2023

Finally, US president Joe Biden has found a crisis that actually interests him. A mass-emergency event has, perhaps for the first time in his presidency, managed to elicit a speedy response from the leader of the free world.

Was it a toxic train derailment that poisoned the water of a small blue-collar community? Er, no. Was it a raging fire that killed a still-unknown number of residents in a historical indigenous island community? Also no.

It was Burning Man – the orgiastic pilgrimage undertaken by Silicon Valley utopians, Instagram influencers and rich kids, and which has become something of an obsession among young people from the most privileged demographics in the Western world.  ...
