Burning Man collecting data for the FBI - Guest - 09-03-2021 Undercover FBI agents spy on Burning Man festival to prevent 'terrorism' and test out new 'intelligence collection' technology The FBI has admitted to gathering secret intelligence about the annual Burning Man festival since 2010. In response to a request under the 2012 Freedom of Information Act, the security service said its Special Events Management unit has kept files on festival-goers, known as 'burners' - to 'aid in the prevention of terrorist activites and intelligence collection'. But the FBI's 16-page response to the question by Inkoo Kang is heavily redacted, with information about the technology being used to secretly gather the information being blanked out. The revelation comes as the 29th Burning Man takes place in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. The FBI document describes the festival as a 'cultural and artisan event, which promote free expression by the participants'.  Burning Man collecting data for the FBI - Guest - 09-04-2021 Burning Man Live Stream  https://youtu.be/Zi8_CLY3fAo Burning Man collecting data for the FBI - Guest - 09-04-2021 Where's the FBI? Oh wait, they must be the ones in the flower power bus.
