Senate Confirms Domestic Terrorist to Head BLM

That's the BLM that stands for the Bureau of Land Management, part of the US Department of the Interior, not the protesters from Burn, Loot, Murder.  

By a vote of 50-45 the Senate confirmed Tracy Stone-Manning to be the new director of the Bureau of Land Management.  Tracy Stone-Manning was a declared sympathizer and member of the radical eco-terrorist group Earth First! and admitted to retyping and sending a letter warning the U.S. Forest Service of a tree spiking in Idaho.

According to a 2002 FBI document, 

Disaffected environmentalists, in 1980, formed a radical group called "Earth First!" and engaged in a series of protests and civil disobedience events. In 1984, however, members introduced "tree spiking" (insertion of metal or ceramic spikes in trees in an effort to damage saws) as a tactic to thwart logging.

The purpose of tree spiking isn't to save trees by its own action but to strike fear and terror in the hearts of loggers and the companies that hire them.  When a large chain saw hits the metal or ceramic spike (to avoid metal detectors) the chain saw could conceivably kill the lumberjack.  At the time of the tree spiking, Stone-Manning was an active member of Earth First! and was described as “extremely anti-government.”  Is it ironic she's now in charge of the organization overseeing what she was protesting?  Or is it just switching to a more effective way to get what she wants?  

PJ Media links to AZ Central: for this part of the story:

Former Forest Service Special Agent Michael Merkley, the lead agent on the tree-spiking case, wrote to members of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee informing them that Stone-Manning was not only “an active member of the original group that planned the spiking to the Post Office Timber Sale Trees,” but that she was “vulgar, antagonistic, and extremely anti-government,” only choosing to cooperate after she was informed that she could face charges if she did not comply with the orders of a federal grand jury.

Stone-Manning also lied during her confirmation hearing, according to GOP Senator John Barrasso.

“This investigator has confirmed what I have been saying,” said Barrasso. “Tracy Stone-Manning collaborated with eco-terrorists who had booby trapped trees with metal spikes. She mailed the threatening letter for them and she was part of the cover up. She did not cooperate with investigators until she was caught.

“Tracy Stone-Manning lied to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by claiming the tree spiking was ‘alleged’ and that she was never investigated. Now, we have confirmation that neither of those things are true. President Biden must withdraw her nomination.”

The radical 95% of the Biden administration gets a favor and the groups who helped get the election defrauded Biden elected get payback.  Her nomination was opposed by two past BLM directors, including Barack Obama’s BLM chief Bob Abbey, and George W Bush's BLM head, Jim Caswell.

PJ Media author Rick Moran sums it up this way:

With questionable integrity, radical views (she said the U.S. would do well to follow Communist China’s population control measures), and a dismissive attitude toward other points of view, what is Tracy Stone-Manning doing anywhere near an office of any federal agency?

You know the answer.  This is the way the swamp works, the way the Ruling Class rubs their power in our faces.
