Joachim Hagopian, While the Burning Man Sideshow Misdirects, the World Turns, Spurns and Burns

Over this last weekend the weeklong Burning Man Art and Music Festival organizers along with local police opted to close the only road in and out of the Nevada desert 110 miles north of Reno known as “Black Rock City” (coincidental that it shares same namesake as world’s wealthiest investment firm BlackRock, whose stakeholders are the earth’s bloodline controlling dynasties Rothschild, Rockefeller, royal families et al?). This unique “New Age” festival attracts amazing art installments, created and self-assembled by the festival-goers themselves, many from Silicon Valley. At night it’s a celebration of lights with many art exhibits themselves ritualistically going up in flames on a nightly basis.

In response to the site flooding creating an ongoing disaster from heavy downpours, the authorities on Sunday September 3^rd ordered the 73,000 stranded festival-goers to conserve their food and water while sheltering in place until further notice. Nobody gets to come in and nobody goes out. Not by car nor by plane. Hunker down in place was the order by police and organizers after they closed the road. On top of that, no usable porta potties. No generators get topped up. No vehicles on the Playa. Remain in your tents as you slip slide away stuck in the mud. The long holiday weekend just got a lot longer, compliments of Hurricane Hilary’s remnant wrath on the arid Nevada basin, pouring torrential rains with more rainfall forecasted till Monday September 4^th Labor Day when the event is scheduled to close. But will the tens of thousands of trapped Burning Man residents be allowed out to escape their muddy hellhole?

This annual New Age festival begun in San Francisco with bonfires in 1986 moved to the Black Rock desert of Nevada in the 1990s, traditionally known for the burning man effigy that CNN describes as “a desert temple to whatever deity or ideals you hold true.” But this year attendees arriving on August 27^th got more than they bargained for, after setting ablaze on Thursday August 31^st their 26-foot tall, 13-foot wide column that burned for more than 20-minutes before revealing a secret monument within, a giant steel “Phoenix” representing the resilience of war-torn Ukraine. With the unjustified US/NATO proxy war already lost in Ukraine, at an unforgiveable cost of Ukrainian lives, Phoenix was another bad omen.

This leftist, artsy-fartsy, “stand up for Ukraine” crowd that is alleged to worship pagan deities was to feature the burning of its main attraction this year on Saturday night, but the infamous “Chapel of Babel” inspired from ancient Babylon was rained out. Starting last Friday night on the 1^st to Saturday morning on September 2^nd, within the overnight hours, the entire Black Rock City was pummeled with a near inch of pounding rain, turning Black Rock City into Black Rock’s sea of mud. The .8 of an inch that fell overnight on Saturday amounted to what normally falls in a two to three-month period during the winter months. The deluge postponed the Saturday night Chapel Babel bonfire as well as Sunday’s Burning Man effigy closing out the weeklong festival.

On Sunday September 3^rd, despite the shelter in place directive, a number of event-goers left by foot as well as in vehicles but a number of the RVs got stuck in the mud. With a little over 70,000 remaining in place, the Burning Man organizers planned to conduct the Burning Man effigy Sunday night. But met with more wet weather on Sunday and sunshine predicted Monday, it was rescheduled a second time for Monday night. Meanwhile, the departure of cooped up Burning Man participants referred to as the Exodus remains the big challenge that lay ahead.

Organizers scheduled shuttle buses to help people leave the area. With many attendees needing to return to work this week, organizers assessed whether the road condition was dry enough to reopen. With Monday the first dry sunny day in a while, the Exodus officially began at 2PM local time on Labor Day Monday, thousands of wary ‘burners” labor to finally leave all at once. Organizers tried discouraging so many in a vain attempt to stagger departure to avoid the bottleneck exit, but to no avail. Many of the 64,000 on Labor Day at Black Rock City will stick around one more day to take in the final Burning Man effigy blaze rescheduled for Monday night.

By early Saturday morning September 2nd, all further Burning Man events had to be temporarily called off, delaying the Babylon’s big burn of the week. Observing all this, there are many who may be asking might this year’s unprecedented deluge be God’s wrath in response to this ever-gaudier, hedonistic, decadent display of Western wokism, overtly rejecting conservative traditional values and religions like Christianity? Under the normal hot weather of 100-degree heat, in the burner man/woman/nonbinary inclusionary world, the skimpier the outfit, the better. In their radical, anything goes world, nudity at Burning Man is a welcome sight, even in front of children. From The Guardian article of August 28^th:

In recent years, Burning Man has drifted from its hippy roots and become better known for luxury RVs, wild orgies, and Silicon Valley bros.

On the conservative-leaning Seventh Day Adventist blog site Advent Messenger, a half dozen years ago Andy Roman took aim indicting Burning Man in an August 27^th, 2017 article entitled, “The Largest Baal Worship Service on the Planet is in America.” An eye-opening excerpt:

Our nation has embraced the old ancient paganism that we read about in the Bible. Over 70,000 people are expected to flock each year to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for an eight-day festival of hedonism and spiritualism that begins today and runs through Labor Day weekend. The all-night dance parties include invoking on the pagan deities, nudity, unrestrained sex and drug use, while during the day partygoers are treated to ‘artistic’ displays and ‘spiritualistic’ exercises, which include worshiping pagan gods. Every occult practice is on full display. This is a revival of the Old Testament worship of Baal. The national, mainstream media is covering this event but they are reporting it simply as an ‘arts’ and ‘music’ festival. What they don’t tell you is that the biggest draw for the party-goers is the free, casual sex that is absolutely rampant at the Burning Man Festival. And it isn’t just one on one sex that we are talking about, they actually have an orgy tent or temple that is always open. This is what is on full display in America. Every manner of perversion is glorified.

On a Sunday night episode of the Alex Jones’ InfoWars Show, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated:

[The stranded people are] basically probably being brainwashed that climate change is the cause of all of it… and it’s going to destroy the Earth.

In response to Jones’ claim they “did a mock sacrifice” and then “it flooded with these tornadoes,” MTG stated:

God has a way of making sure everyone knows who God is, I’ll say that about that.

In so many words, firebrand Georgia Republican Congresswoman Greene came out and said the desert flooding was an act of God. The flashy, flaunted gathering of narcissistic, largely affluent, 21^st century “hippies,” living religiously and fanatically by Burning Man rules of radical inclusion and radical self-expression, ensure they take time out yearly for pagan worship of the burning of Babylonian deity inspired replicas at Black Rock City. But this year when God tested them on their Burning Man rule of radical self-reliance, not all passed the test.

Another of this year’s main structures completed on August 24^th to go up in flames is the Temple of the Heart. 2023’s Burning Man event titled “Animalia” boasts on its website:

Burning Man is not a festival. It is a community and a global cultural movement, with local communities and events flourishing all over the world. Burning Man culture emanated from Black Rock City and has spread to every continent! Our ephemeral city in the Black Rock Desert is an annual experiment in temporary community guided by Radical Self-expression, Radical Self-reliance, and the rest of the core 10 Principles of our culture. In Black Rock City you are responsible for your own survival, safety, and well-being. 

This year’s event got off to an ominous start when headlines disclosed that climate change activists obstructed vehicles on the road with protestors chained to a 28-foot trailer near the Burning Man Festival entrance until law enforcement made arrests to physically break through the roadblock. Again, from the Guardian article:

Approximately 80,000 people make an annual pilgrimage to the beloved bacchanal, many hauling trailers and RVs across miles of scorching desert in order to make it to their fabled Gomorrah. 

 The “Gomorrah” partiers barely got partying before a Labor Day weekend storm blew in to soak the desert dance party floor with a hard rain that rarely if ever takes place during summer months, within hours turning the normally jubilant makeshift festival city into an unhealthy open mud pit, complete with rumors flying of a deadly Ebola outbreak and declared national emergency. But medical warnings of potential hypothermia, stomach bugs and food-borne illness are real, in addition to a confirmed report of one person dead and not so “radically self-reliant” attendees short on food growing hungrier, with reported petty thievery, art vandalism, one witness describing a foreboding sense of “Lord of the Flies” chaos and dread spread amongst the crowd. Under the mounting stress and strain, trapped amidst rapidly deteriorating, unhealthy conditions with no escape due to the authorities’ road closure, free-frolicking festival attendees have been forced into sobering survival mode. And as of Saturday September 2^nd, scheduled activities at the festival had to be shut down.

This current bread and circus distraction unraveling in northwestern Nevada comes fresh off the heels of America’s deadliest burning, disintegrating fire in modern history, resulting in widening public exposure of the most unnatural, Directed Energy Weapon-caused tragedy yet on the Hawaiian Island of Maui, allegedly implicated to have premeditatedly murdered over a thousand residents, the majority being children. With the World Economic Forum’s 2018 announcement that Hawaii is slated as the first state to run entirely on clean energy, and WEF groomed Governor Josh Green the first to eagerly impose his elite masters’ all Green agenda, when Maui property owners refused to sell their sacred land in the historic town of Lahaina, they were targeted and incinerated alive by satellite launched scalar weaponry, blood sacrificed in a diabolical land grab. Controlling BlackRock stakeholders are now on record, owning and controlling virtually everything of most value on earth, through bribery and blackmail of their installed puppet governments, and with fake pandemic bioweapon death jabs and laser microwave fire bursts, they’re willfully committing mass human genocide on a planetwide scale. Now the BlackRock corporation has been caught in fascist government collusion, by elite design, moving forward executing its now exposed scheme to turn Lahaina dead victims’ properties into America’s first smart city model.

Thus far, this latest deadly event in Nevada will dwarf Maui’s tragic fate by a thousand, but this staged sideshow in the desert looms potentially as the next engineered calamity by the same brazen controllers in league with fascist government overreach, callously closing the only escape route out of Black Rock Desert, reminiscent of the trapped, helpless Lahaina victims a few weeks earlier. Meanwhile, the media jumps on the Burning Man side-story of comedian Chris Rock and his DJ pal Diplo managing to hike five miles out to luckily get picked up by a passing fan in a pickup truck to escape Black Rock City. It all reads as more mainstream choreographed, wag-the-dog, staged theatrics, while Rome busily burns all over the world all summer long with 95% of humanity in its crosshairs, presented as yet more sleight of hand, camouflaged lies pushing the false climate change mantra to cover up the depopulation agenda of global economic collapse and World War III Armageddon. Burning Man is but a mere sideshow psyops while humanity burns alive.
