Some background to this little ditty:
Yes, this is a Quiznos commercial but
it is actually a very well-done spoof of
the 'Hunger Games' and other films
and TV shows that I haven't watched
- while pointedly alluding to the sinister
infiltration by corporate and Police State
interests of the yearly counter-cultural
event, known as Burning Man.
At one point, one of the young people
trapped in the deadly Black Rock desert
of Nevada declares, in horror:
"They lied to us. This was supposed
to be anti-society, based on radical
self-expression. This has become a
place for rich people to come to
check off their bucket list. We've
got to get out of here!"

Burn Trials: Out of the Maze and onto the Playa
http://www.forbiddenknowledge.tv/page/27407.htmlThe spot is particularly funny, now that
it's recently been revealed by a FOIA
request that the FBI has maintained a
presence at Burning Man for several
years, to "...aid [Who???] in the
prevention of terrorist activities and
intelligence collection". The FBI requests
and receives special tents and amenities,
to protect them from the punishing
conditions of the desert, courtesy of
US Taxpayers.
However, the juicy details about the
technology used to secretly gather the
information on the hapless revelers was
blanked out from the report, which was
granted to US Citizen, Inkoo Kang, who
filed the request.

COINTELPRO: The FBI's Infiltrating Burning Man
http://www.forbiddenknowledge.tv/page/27408.htmlIf you were *already* subscribed to FKTV
you will receive occasional updates and
you'll be automatically be subscribed to the
new site, once it's finally built, the new site,
(now having experienced a major
setback, because the half-built site it
was deleted, along with a copy of this
old one, for highly spurious reasons by
the hosting service, which nobody in
that industry, with whom I've spoken
believes for one minute, as it bears no
resemblance to the standard practices
of the web hosting business).
We remain extremely excited about the
many unexpected opportunities that have
opened up for us, as well.
I cannot thank all of my subscribers
enough for making this transition possible,
with your prayers, advice and with your
contributions.
