The annual Burning Man counterculture festival now taking place in a
Nevada desert is known for attracting scantily clad revelers, bike lovers,
artists, musicians and as it turns out, even attention from the FBI.
According to documents posted this week at MuckRock.com, the FBI monitored
the event in 2010, finding that it carried risks associated with crowd
control and illegal drugs.
The documents were released following a 2012 public records request by
journalist Inkoo Kang. An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment on the
MuckRock.com report.
Burning Man, named for the burning of a wooden effigy that marks the
climax of the festival of art and free expression, brings tens of
thousands of people to the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada and adds
an estimated $35 million to the local economy each year.
Last year's event drew nearly 70,000 participants. In 2010, when the
documents were generated by the FBI, the festival attracted about 50,000
people.
"The greatest known threat in this event is crowd control issues and use
of illegal drugs by the participants," said an FBI document on the
festival posted to MuckRock.com.
The document said the agency's Las Vegas office would work with the
Pershing County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies to aid
in preventing militant activities and handle intelligence issues,
according to the copy posted at MuckRock.com.
The documents posted at the website were heavily redacted.
They did not make clear if the FBI had monitored Burning Man more recently
than 2010.
It is not the first time the FBI has taken an interest in the cultural
sphere. Decades ago, it investigated former Beatle John Lennon and Mexican
writer Carlos Fuentes for their political views.
This year's Burning Man festival ends on Monday.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.
Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.
