Tracy Stone-Manning, a domestic eco-terrorist was nominated by the Biden Administration to direct the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). She has been an activist and spokesperson for ‘Earth First!,’ along with being editor of one of its publications.
Domestic terrorists like Students for a Democratic Society, Weathermen Underground, Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army, Black Lives Matter, Antifa and others rarely have the spine to own-up to their criminal behavior. Their members commit arson, bank robberies, bombings, sabotage, kidnappings and murders. Most escape punishment and some even become university professors and politicians. Participants are coddled by liberals and suck-up university administrators.
‘Earth First!’ may sound like a harmless stewardship group but it believes that humans are parasites. Its mission is satanic in origin. It touts the radical environmental notion of rewilding, or forcing humans from their ranches, homes, businesses and forbidding even the opportunity to visit public lands.
Mankind was created by God to manage and care for the earth while enjoying it. The forests, farmlands and waterways thrive when properly managed, not neglected or ‘rewilded.’
As Californians again watch the state burn many people are too ignorant or young to know that these horrific fires are new, purposeful and preventable. The current eco-disasters are the result of rewilding or the no-land-management policies of liberals. America’s forest care has gone from preventing, spotting, and stopping fires quickly to blocking access and allowing them to burn freely. The inferno is the creation of western liberal politicians and eco-terrorists.
The recent Senate Energy Committee hearing to vet Stone-Manning’s nomination offered insight into terrorists welcomed to the White House and the destructive anti-American bent of liberal officials. California governor Gavin Newsom’s policy to ignore forests, allowing even small towns to burn, along with his moratorium on expanding water storage and energy resources is governmental eco-terrorism.
At the close of the Senate Energy Committee hearing, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) reiterated his opposition to President Biden offering Tracy Stone-Manning for Bureau of Land Management Director.
The BLM primarily overseas western states lands amounting to 1/8th of America’s land mass or hundreds of millions of acres of land and mineral resources. The expanse is critical to America’s food and energy independence.
Stone-Manning helped organize a tree spiking event endangering the lives of loggers scheduled to work in the targeted acreage. She sent a threatening letter about the sabotage to the U.S. Forest Service. In 1993, she was granted immunity to testify against her fellow criminals. Then she lied to the energy committee in nomination paperwork saying she had never been the subject of a federal investigation.
The letter Stone-Manning typed advised the Forest Service that 500 pounds of “spikes measuring 8 to 10 inches in length” had been jammed into the trees of an Idaho forest. It concluded with this warning. “P.S., You bastards go in there anyway and a lot of people could get hurt.”
Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, said Stone-Manning “colluded with eco-terrorists who conducted extremist operations that aimed to maim and kill Idaho’s loggers and sawmill workers.”
In his 2018 comments about America’s terrible wildfires the nominee’s husband Richard Manning wrote that firefighters should let homes built in the forest burn. He said “There is a rude and satisfying justice about allowing a house of someone that builds in the forest to burn.” Stone-Manning affirmed her husband’s quote as a “clarion call.”
Here are some quotes by “Earth First!” founder Dave Foreman to reveal the mindset of its members and the nominee:
“Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth social and environmental.”
“We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects…We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.”
“The AIDS epidemic, rather than being a scourge, is a welcome development in the inevitable reduction of human population…If it did not exist, radical environmentalists would have to invent it.”
“…Human overpopulation is the fundamental problem on Earth today,” and “In our decimation of biological diversity, in our production of toxins, in our attack on the basic life-support system of Earth, in our explosive population growth, we humans have become a disease – the Humanpox.”
Ms. Stone-Manning echoed such themes in her graduate thesis. In that document she described children as environmental hazards and a threat to the planet. Her solution is Chinese- style population control limiting the number of children American families could have.

Tracy Stone-Manning: Biden’s Nominee for Director of Bureau of Land Management
Posted on July 11, 2021
Name: Tracy Stone-Manning
Position: Director Bureau of Land Management
Connections to China and/or Extreme Leftist Organizations:
There has been a significant amount of coverage recently of Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as the head of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Tracy Stone-Manning was granted legal immunity back in 1993 for her testimony that she retyped and mailed an anonymous letter to the U.S. Forest Service on behalf of a friend, John P. Blount. The letter warned the Forest Service that trees in an area about to be logged had been spiked, meaning heavy metal spikes had been driven into the trees to deter logging.
Per the usual highly partisan coverage, the story is cast as follows. Ms. Stone-Manning made an innocent mistake in allowing herself to be used in this way. She is very sorry. She was never herself a bad actor. There is nothing to see here but an isolated youthful indiscretion.
As you might guess all of this is at very best highly misleading and conceals a number of much more disturbing truths.
At the time Ms. Stone-Manning typed the letter in question Ms. Stone-Manning was, in fact, living with Mr. Blount. They were both members of a group called Earth First. Earth First was officially designated a terrorist group by the FBI. Ms. Stone-Manning was not only part of the group; she was the editor of one of its publications. [i]In local news coverage during this time period, she was sometimes referred to as an Earth First spokesperson.[ii]
Before mailing the letter Ms. Stone-Manning rented a typewriter and retyped it. She did so by her own admission, because she did want the letter on her personal computer and because her fingerprints were “all over the original.” These hardly sound like the actions of an innocent unaware of the gravity of her actions. They sound a lot more like those of someone who is an active member of an underground organization involved in illegal activity.
Tree spiking is not some innocent prank. It involves hammering metal rods up to ten inches long into trees so that they will be hit when the trees are cut down. Hitting a metal tree spike with a chainsaw will not simply damage or destroy the saw being used. It can result in life threatening injuries to the individual using the chainsaw.
The letter Ms. Stone-Manning typed advised the Forest Service that 500 pounds of “spikes measuring 8 to 10 inches in length” had been jammed into the trees of an Idaho forest. It concluded with this warning.
“P.S., You bastards go in there anyway and a lot of people could get hurt.”
Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, summed up the situation pretty clearly when he said Stone-Manning “colluded with eco-terrorists who conducted extremist operations that aimed to maim and kill Idaho’s loggers and sawmill workers.”[iii]
Stone-Manning lied about this entire incident in the paperwork she submitted as part of her confirmation process. She claimed she had never been the target of a federal investigation. In fact, the evidence makes clear that she was one of the prime suspects in the investigation from the outset, and only because she testified for the government and stuck a deal did she escape conviction herself.[iv]
Earth First is not and never has been some moderate group focused on preserving the environment. It was created as a radical ecological movement heavily infused with Marxist and anarchist ideology. It regards human beings essentially as parasites on planet Earth and advocates “rewilding,” a euphemism for depopulation and the destruction of modern society.
In its founding document in 1980 Earth First laid out a statement of principles, which included opposition to “state capitalism” and “father-figure hierarchies” and an insistence that humankind “has no legitimate claim to dominate Earth.” Members of the group have argued that the collapse of civilization is desirable and inevitable. In 1988 members of the group launched a magazine called Live Wild or Die, an Anarchist magazine whose contributors called for moving “beyond Earth First!” and engaging in “a revolution of desire, a feral revolution.[v][vi]
“Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth social and environmental.”
David Foreman, Founder of Earth First

Tracy Stone-Manning is not a kind-hearted environmentalist who made an innocent and isolated mistake. She is a radical Marxist and anarchist who functioned as a core member of a group dedicated to the destruction of capitalism and modern society. Even in Joe Biden’s administration, the most radical in American history, she stands out as extreme and dangerous.
Stone-Manning’s job if confirmed would be to manage public lands on behalf of the American people. It would be hard to imagine someone less qualified or more ill-suited for that role. The woman is an extremist and a threat to the nation. She is Joe Biden’s terrorist, and no sane Senator should vote to confirm her.
